OtherLittle background information about myself: I am in good physical shape. I d*et and meal prep. Pretty much your average gymbro. My friend on the other hand is medically obese and a gamer. Every couple of months he’ll go on about how he wants to change his life, get in shape, d*et and be consistent in the gym. Then he’ll ask me for the same advice I gave countless times. Complain about his l...
OtherOn a Teams call presenting an Excel file to 10+ people, mostly clients. I apologized to the group for a formula error, exact words were "Sorry everyone, I must have fat fingered the keys." This was met with a brief, but stern reprimand from one of the clients who said my phrasing was "denigrating to overweight people". I quickly apologized and moved on, but later in the day was irritated that ...
RelationshipThere's been a recent tiktok trend of couples filming a video where the boyfriend picks up the girlfriend. My brother's gf had been wanting to do it for a while, and he initially didn't want to. He didn't bring it up, but I think it did have to do with her weight, as she's heavier than him and I think he didn't want to make her feel bad by not being able to pick her up. She insisted, and he ...

OtherI (29F) have a friend, (30F), who’s getting married in October. We’ve been close since college but lately it feels like I’m just... aesthetic filler to her. She picked her bridal party dresses without asking for input and they’re tight. Like SKIMS-meets-sausage-casing tight. I'm a size 16. The other girls are size 2–6. I asked if there were other options and she laughed and said, “Nooo I love ...
RelationshipI (53m) have 4 kids with my wife Karen (52f). I understand that in the looks department, I'm far from the man she married. I'm 228 pounds at 6 feet 2, and I'm bald. But in the looks department, Karen had also changed. She's over 300 pounds at 5 feet 9, her b**bs are saggy, she's wrinkled, and her formally blonde hair is now grey. I thought she was s*xy as she is. She was the one turning down s*x...
OtherI (33M) used to be married to my best friend “Callie” (33F). I’m gay, she’s a lesbian. We grew up in a conservative town in the Deep South where coming out wasn’t really an option. So when we were 20, we got married. It was a way to avoid questions and stay safe. We moved out of state a few years later, got divorced soon after. There was no drama; we were always just friends, and we’ve stay...

We have talked for 2 years about starting a tradition for our growing, young family to vacation in that area for the holiday in a cabin....
OtherMy husband, D*ego, and I got married three weeks ago. It was a beautiful wedding, but incredibly exhausting for both of us. We had planned our honeymoon in Bali, a trip we had dreamed about since getting engaged. Everything seemed perfect, until it wasn’t. A few days before we were supposed to leave, D*ego’s mom, Carmen, called him crying. She claimed her health had worsened and that she ne...
OtherSo, my (30F) husband (31M) and I just got married last month and planned a dream honeymoon two weeks in Greece, just the two of us, relaxing, exploring, and enjoying our time as newlyweds. Flights, hotels, excursions all booked and paid for. Enter my sister (26F), who was supposed to move in with her boyfriend around the same time. Unfortunately for her (and I mean unfortunately in the leas...
OtherI'm (F, 30) getting married very soon and planning to go to Barcelona for my honeymoon, which I thought I had told my best friend (F,30). A few days ago my friend told me that she is planning a trip to Barcelona the day after my wedding, which I was initially taken aback by since I thought she had planned this knowing that I was going. My friend has joked before about tagging along to my honey...
RelationshipI (28M) have a younger sister (26F) who’s always been a prankster. I’ve usually gone along with it, but during her wedding and now her honeymoon, it’s been way over the top. She and her new husband planned their honeymoon in a beautiful mountain cabin a few hours away, and she asked if I could drive them there since they didn’t want to rent a car. I agreed since they’re family and it was a way...
