ParentingI (m27) have a cat named stargazer. I adopted her around 3 years ago and she's truly a little survivor. She was a**sed and as a result has no eyes and only 3 three legs. Nobody wanted to adopt her because of hes deformaties and she's also a black cat so i did bc she was gonna be euthanized otherwise. My sister moved into my city this week and her and her husband (both 43) needed someone to watc...
RelationshipI (20F) am a Canadian attending university in the United States. One of my friends (20F) in university here is a decently large Trump fan. I'm not going to lie and say it hasn't put a bit of a strain on our friendship, but it has never been anything that detrimental. Well, today we were talking about Trump's tariffs. I from the beginning made it clear it was a m**onic idea and will only end poo...
Family ConflictMy wife was pr****nt with our first child. We weren't telling anyone yet because it was early. My mom was over at our house and noticed some obvious clues of pregnancy. She asked about it and we were honest. We also asked her to please respect our wishes and not go telling people because it was early in the pregnancy and we wanted time to ourselves to absorb it. The pregnancy was unplann...
Family ConflictLittle backstory- I grew up in a very religious home. We went to church (non-denominational) 2-3 times per week. I always questioned what I was being taught and when I was in 6th grade & going to a Christian school, I realized I was agnostic. I live in the Bible belt, so it's difficult having my beliefs (or lack there of). Despite my family all being religious, they have all respected my be...
RelationshipMy wife, Lillian (48) and I (37) have 5 daughters (17, 13, 6, twins 3). Lillian and her family take clothes very seriously. They always co-ordinate their outfits when doing family get togethers and think it's important to bond as a family and photos and stuff. I personally think it's a bit silly, but I usually just go along with whatever Lillian decides. Our eldest is just like Lillian when...
RelationshipTiny update: Yes, Dan has seen the note. He sent me a text with just a bunch of question marks and hasn’t said anything since. For the record, I took my cat, my plants, and my self-respect when I walked out the door. Hi Dan, Since your PS5 gets more of your attention than I do, I figured I’d leave this note here. By the time you read this, I’ll already be gone. I’ve taken my things, cancel...
OtherI(17F) am a person who love to snack and have a special addiction on cheese pretzels from a specific bakery. The place is rather far from my place, and since I don't drive, I would spend about an hour and half or so on bus and fro just to buy them once in a while. My younger(13F) sister loves them too, and she is always too lazy and stingy to buy for herself that she would steal from me. When s...
OtherI (19f) have been going to the gym near consistently since February this year. I've lost 18 lbs so far and while I still have 93lbs before I reach my goal, I've already gained so much strength and confidence in my body. I'm 5'7" and 255lbs. I know I'm big but I don't think it should really affect how I dress. I get sweaty at the gym and the one thing worse than a sweaty bra is a shirt that stic...
Family ConflictTwo years ago my dad, my brother (13m) and I (16m) found out mom was having an affair. It shouldn't have surprised any of us. For over two years she was always busy and let us down so many times. She was so involved before. But she stopped showing up and supporting me when I was competing in swimming and she stopped asking about it, she flaked on me every time I wanted to do our record store b...
OtherMy brother Jake (18M) and I (17F) had the same dream college, H University. Also, in case you’re confused by the ages, we’re 1.5 years apart, but I skipped a grade so we were in the same grade for nearly our entire life. Jake was way more pa*sionate about H Uni than I was. He had several H merch clothing, and kind of just a*sumed he was going there. For example, in conversations he’d say thing...
RelationshipYesterday I purchased a bottle (a whole, normal sized bottle) of salad dressing for the meal I was planning to make. For context, I am the breadwinner in my household and buy almost all groceries, pay the mortgage, etc. I have a great relationship with my partner but I just can’t shake the fact that we had such a big disagreement over som**hing so silly. Anyways, I’m pretty normal with how I d...
RelationshipI've (27) been with my husband (32) for 3 years, we're expecting our first baby together. Long story short, my family and friends decided to throw me a baby shower and brought me a variety of gifts which consisted mainly of baby care essentials. I stored everything in the storage area but woke up the next day and they were all gone. I freaked out and called my husband, he didn't pick up so ...
