OtherMy wife is an anesthesiologist, and I am an interventional cardiologist. As a result, my all three of my children (25F, 21F, 17F) grew up extremely privileged. Being born when we were both es**blished already, they have never seen what life is like under a family income of 800,000 dollars. My eldest two children are both planning on following in our footsteps and are planning on pursuing medic...
Family ConflictI (55m) discovered evidence that my wife Jennifer (53f) was having an affair with Nathan (23m). When I confronted her, she was aggressive and argumentative. She said I have no reason to act all high and mightly, because I was sleeping with our neighbor and Nathan's mom Naomi (47f). Jennifer was shocked when I provided proof that I wasn't. Jennifer then claimed that Nathan had manipulated he...
OtherSo I (32F) have a younger brother, “Mark” (29M). He’s always been a bit of a show-off, the type who loves to flaunt his “success.” But honestly, he’s not really successful. He’s got an average job, but he lives like he’s rolling in money: high-rise apartment, designer clothes, fancy dinners, frequent vacations…you get the idea. All of this on a salary that, trust me, doesn’t come anywhere clos...
RelationshipSo in every holiday celebration (Christmas in this case) I make a list of the people I'm buying gifts for and what type of gifts I'm buying. I struggled with mistreatment in my previous job but got fortunate enough to now be working in a very friendly envirnment with amazing co workers and an amazing boss. My boss has stood by my side in many many instances and I decided to include him in my g...
Family ConflictSo my mom and dad both voted for Trump. It's a major point of contention between us as I believe him to be evil incarnate and a weak, geriatric who has no business leading anyone, much less an entire country. But that's not necessarily what this post is about. I work in the education tech sector, and on Friday, my entire team and I were laid off as a result of the dismantling of the Departm...
BoundariesSo I am a 24 year old guy and my twin bro is obviously the same age. He got a new girlfriend (21F) around Christmas time and I like her for the most part. Me and my brother live together by the way. I have a full time job and he has a part time job while stud**ng so I pay more of the rent than he does. But recently since the football has started again here in England (me and my brother are hug...
RelationshipI (29m) have been with my wife (28f) for 8 years, and meals are just about the only place of contention in our marriage, but I’m scared she’s going to k**l someone one day. We split the cooking in our house 50/50, but when she cooks I feel like I have to watch her like a hawk. She undercooks just about everything, especially meat, and no matter how many times I try to politely correct her, she ...
RelationshipHi Reddit, I (25F) have been with my boyfriend (26M) for about three years. I’m really into crafting and love reusing things most people would throw away, like empty bottles or soda tabs. Over time, my boyfriend’s family started saving things for me, like old cans or random sc**ps, and honestly, I thought it was super sweet. I’ve always appreciated that they thought of me. But here’s where ...
OtherI (33F) never thought I'd be the one to destroy my brother's (35M) marriage. But a few weeks ago, I overheard som**hing I wish I hadn't, and now everything's blown up, and I’m not sure if I’m the a*shole for what I did. My brother has been married to "Anna" (30F) for five years, and they have a 3-year-old son, Ben. My brother absolutely adores that kid, he's the type of dad who’s always there—c...
OtherSix weeks ago my wife (36) and I (38) moved across the country with our son (5) to live in my late grandma's old house that we inherited. We are from Seattle and moved to a town in Texas, and honestly, my wife and I hate living here, but it is financially better for us for the time being, plus I am attached to my grandma's house. I have a lot of tattoos and long hair, just a general look that i...
OtherMy fiancé and I go 50/50 on everything financially, and we both have good jobs — I actually earn a bit more than he does. We live together and have two large dogs (a Golden Retriever and a Border Collie), so our house gets messy pretty quickly with all the fur and daily life. When we first moved in, I took on most of the cleaning and cooking. I used to enjoy cooking for him, and we’d sometimes ...
RelationshipI F33 am an art teacher working at a middle school. I love my job because I grew up as an artist. I loved drawing and making art work growing up. I'm blessed I get to do what I love, share my knowledge and experience with others and get paid for it! I recently started teaching a new cla*s. It's been great so far the cla*s is always excited to learn and participate in different activities while ...
