OtherMy younger brother Sean is getting married soon, he sent out invitations that included everyone in the family. I found out that he was going by the "no +1 unless engaged or married" rule, I felt confused since I've been in a long term (7 years now) relationship with my girlfriend and I was counting on having her to come with me to the wedding. I asked Sean and fiancee about it and asked if they...
ParentingMy husband had a one night stand after much counseling I decided to forgive him and work on our marriage. Unfortunately the woman got pr****nt, and they now have a 3-year-old boy.

I was fully ...
OtherLast year, I graduated with my degree in computer science. Since then, I worked on contract for a company that has been fairly ok, but not one I plan to try and start a career with. Since my contract ends in a month I've been looking for full time work. The hardest part about this though is fitting all the interviews in. Basicly every application I send in gets responded too, along with a h...
OtherMy friend Nick and his wife Jess just had a baby. I’m close friends with both of them. The baby looks just like Nick, there is no question they are related. One of Nick’s friends is a bit of a mgtow type of guy and he brainwashed Nick into wanting to take a paternity test. Nick asked my advice on how to bring up this topic with Jess. I was shocked. I thought their relationship was good and t...

My daughter loves gaming and has been begging her mom and me to buy her a PS5.

ParentingI 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...
OtherMy parents had two girls me (17f) and my sister (14f). I have always felt like my parents saw me as a babysitter, as a third adult in the house, and have expected me to be a 40 year old kid/teenager. Whereas my sister was their baby. They spoil her rotten. They adore her. She has never wanted for anything and they do everything to make her happy. I was expected to help take care of my siste...
RelationshipI f30 am dating my boyfriend "Smith" m39 for 8+ months. We have been planning to go on a roadtrip but it couldn't happen because he kept insisting that we let his 2 friends tag along. He brought it up again and promised that he won't ask me to let him bring his friends with him since (1) I'm the one paying for the expenses. and (2) It's my car. (3) I always wanted us to go alone for once witho...
OtherI (m33) am getting married to my fiancee (f32) next month. We knew each other from when we were in high school. I had an old group of friends that I wanted to invite to my wedding because they were close to me back then. When my fiancee found out and read the name on every invitation, she went into panic mode. She said she doesn't want any member of this group in our wedding whatsoever. I aske...
OtherMy (19F) friend (18F) celebrates her birthday for an entire week. Every year. She grew up really spoiled (and still is tbh) and she says it's "normal". Her reasoning is that she has "too many friends" so she can't see them all in the same day and she doesn't want to "mix her friend groups" for a big party so she just goes out with everyone separately for an entire week. I'm not jealous or anyth...
