RelationshipMy wife (26f) and her friends went on a 4-day holiday to Las Vegas. She had saved money specifically to gamble and had planned on wearing revealing outfits. Three days into the trip, she and her friends decided to drive drunk and were involved in an accident. All four occupants were significantly over the legal limit, and it appears the friend who was driving may face jail time. They were at...
RelationshipMy (25F) boyfriend (22M) is a great and considerate guy and usually extremely well-mannered. Unfortunately, recently I learned about a really strange habit of his that concerns me. When we were just dating and he was visiting me at my apartment, he never asked to use my bathroom. I didn't ask if he needed to use it because I a*sume as an adult he would let me know like all of my friends do. A ...
OtherI (f26) was supposed to get married to my fiance (m30) on August 17th, 2021. But he pa*sed away suddenly in a car accident a month before. It was so devastating and pain is pretty much raw for me. I moved back with my parents to get so familiarity and support. My parents have been so helpful but my twin sister and I aren't so close. She's engaged and getting married before the end of this year...

Daniel was upset when we didn't go to his and his partners baby...
OtherI worked for a photography company for a while. During this time I met a girl (we'll call B) and we started dating. B and I took a bunch of n**e photos of her several times throughout our relationship. She paid me for these photos and signed the rights to me. Eventually we moved into an apartment together and both signed the lease. However she started inviting her friends who would t**sh the...
ParentingI (30F) am starting to get frustrated with my (36M) boyfriend for not taking accountability for his own problems. He had a vehicle that he used to drive but beat it into the ground and never gave the vehicle any TLC until we started dating 4 years ago. He drove it with an expired inspection sticker until he got pulled over and an officer told him next time he would get a ticket. The car sat...
OtherMy father d*ed right before new years. He pa*sed away from natural causes while incarcerated and serving a life sentence. His next parole hearing was in less than a year but he suffered from lung cancer (smoker) and he also had a hip injury last october which at 70 can lead to complications. My father was a provider to a family of three kids, my mother never had to work. He paid for my sisters ...

Family ConflictI’m the lead teacher in a 2 year old room at a daycare. I have a little girl in my cla*s, Sophie, that has had an issue with biting the past couple days. Sophie is usually very sweet and she’s very intelligent (she’s almost fully potty trained at 28 months old) but she has a pretty severe sp*ech delay and her mom was taken to the hospital by ambulance last weekend and Sophie hasn’t seen her since ...
Family ConflictMy dad d*ed when I (17) was 11. My mom dated for a while but nothing serious until she met Dan. Dan's a single dad with two kids (4 and 6) and after dating for almost two years they moved in together three months ago. I was cool with it until two incidents happened in a week. First one was coming home to the kids in my room and my room was t**shed. I'd made my bed before school and they'd pull...
OtherI (25F) had a miscarriage in early January this year. I lost my mother to a completely unexpected heart attack in February. We used to be very very close and her death, coupled with the loss of my child devastated me. I slipped into depression, developed anorexia and lost a huge amount of weight in a very short time. I used to be 165 pounds and now I'm at 120 pounds. I attended my best frie...
OtherSo I'm a 24 year old who moved out of their parents place a couple years back. My parents are terrible people and we're very cruel to me and my brother growing up. I've very much enjoyed the space to myself and it has been the only time in my life I've truly felt safe. My twin brother (Zack ) didn't move out and was also pretty miserable living with my parents. About 8 months ago he asked if he...
