For context, I have been married to my husband for just over 20 years. We started dating when my stepkids were 5 and 3. Our kids are: Adam (28, stepkid #1), Ben (26, stepkid #2), Charles (20), David (17), and Ellie (13). Adam is getting married at the end of summer to his fiancé Alice (27). We have all been very excited for them. All of the kids have roles for the wedding, Charles is the best m
I M42 married my current wife when my daughter (16) was 4 and my stepdaughter (14) was 2. They grew up as if they were blood siblings with occasional disagreements and jelousy issues mostly from my stepdaughter. 2 days ago was my daughter's dog's 3rd deaths anniversary. Usually, at that time she'd rather be alone to write poems or look at pictures of her beloved dog. This year she asked me to g
I (18 f) and my identical twin sister (also 18 f, obviously) have always had a tumultuous and competitive relationship. We’ve always fought over everything; guys, clothes, friends, etc. but our relationship came to a halt a few weeks ago when a mutual guy friend of ours sent me a link to an onlyfans profile, with an attached message that stated “this u?”. Confused, I clicked on the link and
I acknowledge, as a father and husband, that a lot of things that were singularly mine before just aren't. Wife steals my clothes, wife and kids steal my food, kids steal my phone, I'm fine with it (most of the time), but I just needed one thing to myself without hurting feelings and making someone cry because everybody is sensitive in this house....including me. I bought a single-serve piece o
My husband had a one night stand after much counseling I decided to forgive him and work on our marriage. Unfortunately the woman got pregnant, and they now have a 3-year-old boy. I have two 5-year-old French bulldogs whom I and my two kids with my husband (14f and 9m). Unfortunately being short hair dogs these kind tend to produce the most reaction in those who are allergic. I was fully
My husband and I have been married for 7 years... happily I thought. We have two girls 5,4 and two boys 2 and unborn. He’s due anyday. I lost my job back in March due to the pandemic and it’s been so nice being a stay at home mom to the kids. Our 4th child is due any day now and a about two days ago I received a bombshell... my husband had an affair. It broke me to the core. He is the love of m
I am going to keep this pretty short, because I don't know how to feel about this. From the ages of 7 to 12 I was really sick. One of the nurses who took care of me was Japanese. She would bring books for us to read and taught us how to fold origami. She ended up bringing me a book called Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. There is a Japanese legend that if you fold a thousand cranes you
My parents expected me to be independent the minute I turned 18. They gave me the money they had saved up for my education and they started charging me rent. I was lucky enough to have a partial scholarship and I found a job in the city my university was in so I moved there before the school year began. With my parents money, my scholarship, and my wages I was able to scrape by. I rarely
I met my girlfriend on Tinder and we were not exclusive to begin with. We get along great and I thought we had a future. She got pregnant and we were kind of excited to start a family. When the baby was born it was very obviously not mine. I did not sign the birth certificate. I also did not break up with her. But I also told her that I would not be making myself financially responsible for
I have a friend group of 7 women from uni. I'm the only one that's childfree, but 1 is childless, 2 are pregnant with their first and 3 have kids. We as a group rarely meet up. I've seen all of them maybe twice in the last year, and we all live in the same city. Every time someone asks to meet up and we finally find a date everyone is available, one of the moms always asks if they can bring the
I’m allergic to cats and don’t want to deal with the hassle of a dog. My wife and kids have been begging for a pet for years, but I really don’t want to take allergy medicine just to be able to live in my own home (I don’t take any medicine) and I feel like a dog would be very restrictive to our already extremely busy lifestyle (and unfair to a puppy). I shut it down every time they bring it u
So, I got recently engaged to my fiancè Michael. We don't live together but we agreed to move together soon. He has a 16yo daughter. I gotta be honest, she seems quite stubborn and her own dad struggles to get her to listen. I'm not close with her which is something I know I need to work on and I fo my best. However, Her pranks make it difficult for me to maintain a good relationship with her.
