RelationshipMy ex wife Carly (39F) and I (40M) got divorced 10 years ago. We had been married for 4 years, together for a total of 9 years. About 2 years into our marriage, we started trying to a baby but no luck. We went to fertility doctors after the first year of trying and the doctor said there isn’t anything wrong with either of us. We continued trying but still no luck. Around the 1 and half year...
ParentingI share two kids Ind*e (10m) and Colbie (8f) with my ex-wife Thora. We have remained very close and she and I don't follow a strict parenting plan. We do our best to have the kids see us both as much as possible. We celebrate every birthday, every Christmas together, and we show up to support our kids together as much as we can make work with our jobs. The kids love it. Sometimes it will be my...
RelationshipI'm a 34-year-old man, and my wife is 29. We have been married for five years. Since we started dating, she has always taken her sweet time doing everything. Getting dressed, doing her makeup, eating, whatever it is, she takes forever. I'm generally a patient person, but I get extremely anxious when I'm late for som**hing with a scheduled starting time. Alone, I have never been late for any...
RelationshipI never wanted kids. The idea of family is very suffocating to me and I was never willing to date a man with children. When i met my husband he said he didn't have any and didn't want any. A year later when he was drinking he admitted that he had gotten his high school girlfriend pr****nt when they were both 18 and begged her to abort but she hadn't wanted to so he had a son who he had never m...
OtherI (43M) have four kids. The two oldest are twin boys (both 14M) and then we have two girls (10F and 7F). All of them are pretty responsible kids, and consistently do their ch**es as they're meant to. There is a little chart that says what all their jobs are, with each of their roles being proportional to their ages. The boys take on the largest number of responsibilities, which each of them al...
Family ConflictI had my 18th birthday 3 days ago. On the day after my birthday my step dad told me he wants me to start paying rent to “live in his house”. My step dad is quite Christian and conservative. I don’t except to live rent free forever but I know my step dad is coming from a spiteful place. He and my mum have 2 kids in 9 years of marriage, I’m not his own and it’s clear I’m a reminder that his wife ...
BoundariesSo, I 28M have a wife 27F who works full time as a CNA while she is in school to become an autopsy technician. She works a LOT. She is constantly picking up extra shifts working doubles and even triples. She does all that on top of going to school full time. Because of that she often takes a nap after work. Well yesterday, I had a friend over who I will call E. My wife and E do not get along a...
Family ConflictMy wife and I are raising our children without religion. We've taught them it's a thing that exists and always answered questions about it as honestly and truthfully as possible "They believe X... Etc.", but we don't want to push one on them and try to limit exposure outside of media and other people freely practicing. My parents are devout Christians and love our children just as much as w...
OtherI have a 9 year old daughter, and another on the way. I had 2 grandmothers: "Annie" and "Rose". I named my oldest "Annabelle", after nanny Annie, whose full name was also Annabelle. I did not name her after nana Rose as at the time she was born, nana Rose was still with us. When I found out I was pr****nt with a second, I decided to name her after nana Rose, who pa*sed in 2017. My sister, "...
RelationshipMy husband (35) does not have a car. He sold his old one to help pay for his brother's wedding. I did not agree on this but he had this car before we got together so it's a shared property. besides that I have my own car so that did not affect me til my husband started complaining about having to commute to work and hangout places. He tried to get me to let him drive my car several times but I...
RelationshipLet me get right to the point: I 25M p*e in the shower. I thought everyone did. My whole family p*es in the shower, as do all my friends. I don’t p*e in a shared shower like a dorm or a locker room, nor do I p*e in someone else’s shower when I’m a guest in their home, but do I p*e in my own shower? H**l yeah. So I’ve been dating my girlfriend “Jessica” F25 for several months now and she sta...
OtherI m 45 M and I have a niece who is 22 and just got married last weekend. The family is blowing up with drama right now because of what I (and my wife) did. I must preface this by saying my family can be pushovers, they really all hate conflict and will definitely let themselves be run over by someone else in order to not cause a fight. I am not this way. The wedding was on Sat**day. Catholi...
