OtherI’m getting married in 5 months with my fiancé. And we sent our invitations last week. Context; my SIL (my husband’s brother’s wife) as a medical dog since she had brain cancer around 5 years ago. She has seizures where she feels dizzy 20 seconds beforehand and the goes unconscious for couple minutes. This happens 3-4 times a week. She has a dog who senses the seizure 1-2 minutes beforehand...
RelationshipI worked a ten hour shift yesterday, and had little to eat but bubblegum and some cheap hot chocolate. I came home to a voice message whereas my wife had picked up a cookie for me from the local bakery, and another specific cookie for our young daughter, which she could have when she came home from school. Overjoyed, partially because I was hungry and partially because my wife and I had been at...
OtherI (25f) f**king hate wearing bras. They're uncomfortable, constricting, and expensive. With work from home, I spent the last year and a half basically never wearing a bra and got used to it. Quite frankly, my b**bs are nonexistent anyways. I recently started going to the gym again and started working out braless. I should note that up until now, no one has ever pointed out anything wrong wi...
OtherMy FIL is staying with us for 3 weeks over the holidays, which I already find an unacceptable length but whatever. He told us he was planning on coming up this weekend from FL (he will be driving). My wife asked him what time he thinks he might be arriving and he said 1am. I said that is unacceptable and that he should leave at a different time or stop along the way and get a hotel. We have...
RelationshipToday, my boyfriend (30m) and I (30f) were working from home, and we didn’t have many groceries at home to cook a decent meal with. My boyfriend offered to go get me lunch as I was quite hungry but busy with work, a very nice offer which I joyfully accepted, asking for some $11 sushi from the grocery store. After a rather long period of time (the store is about 5 minutes away, and he came back...
Food & DietI (29f) am working in an office and I have a colleague Bea, who routinely makes fun of vegans. I am vegan and i never make a fuss about food, i go to the same restaurants as my coworkers during lunch hour and i can always find myself som**hing to eat without announcing my d*etary choices. Bea keeps calling me out on it though and she's very condescending about it, she keeps saying i am just ha...
RelationshipMy (26f) boyfriend (27m) is really into cars. He recently discovered a charity project where they fixed up an old Jaguar. It's worth around $300000. You could buy a ticket for $50 to enter and the money went towards a good cause. My bf is broke at the moment so I offered to go halves with the ticket. He didn't want to because then the car wouldn't be his completely. I wasn't too worried about i...
OtherWe hired a house keeper that comes over several times a week to get the house clean since my husband and I are busy with work. We have 2 kids (Jeremy 16 & Raya 14) now Jeremy is a jokester, he likes pulling pranks on everyone in the house...and that included the house keeper. He did stuff like throw her purse, hide her wallet and got punished for it then told to not do it again because our hou...
Family ConflictTo start me and my mother in law have never gotten along. She hates my guts and can be oversensitive often times. I tried not to give her the wrong impression about me but we just don't like each other. Sunday, I was feeling sick (I'm a new mom btw) and couldn't eat what she cooked for dinner and she seemeed to take it personal. She sent me a private message of what seemed to be her final straw...
RelationshipSo my boyfriend (20M), L, and I (20F) have been dating for 7 months. We usually eat take out if we want to get som**hing to eat. However, I recently was promoted so we went to eat at a VERY nice Italian restaurant to celebrate. Like, one with an enforced dress code. My boyfriend is not the nicest of eaters, which can be kind of gross but I deal with it. However, I didn’t realize he had no t...
OtherI’m 24 and I’m an addict who has been in recovery for the past six months. I used and used until I was basically in poverty and my older sister helped bail me out more than once. She’s my best friend and I know it hurt her a lot to see me like that. She also met her fiancé two years ago and he really only knew me as the junkie brother then. He’s not my biggest fan to say the least considering ...
Family ConflictI am a nurse pract*tioner and I am the primary care provider for a lot of the low risk maternity cases at the practice where I work. I also work hand in hand with the doctors and midwives to create a healthy maternity, birth, and postpartum situation. My fiancee is completing her residency. We live together and have for a few years now. We aren't in any hurry to get married. We originally had p...
