Family ConflictI'm 29f, my siblings are 19f, 19f(twins) and 17m. About a year ago I won a rather large amount of money. Since then I paid off my mortgage, bought a rental home, paid for my parents to spent 2 months on holiday, paid off their mortgage and bought each of my younger siblings either a car or(in the case of my brother) a motorbike. I have recently started planning my wedding to my partner of 4 year...
OtherI [16M] started dating my girlfriend 2 years ago. I also got super super into baking around that time. I bake a lot. My girlfriend loves desserts. So I've given her a ton of stuff I bake, all kinds of different stuff. I often try to bake som**hing new and then she gets to try som**hing new. I honestly love baking way more than eating it. My girlfriend is the opposite. Well recently she gave...
OtherI will preface this, I am not an alcoholic nor do I belive I have a drinking problem. There are no children involved here. I work shifts. My working week will end with 2 or 3 overnight shifts (1800 to 0600). After my last shift for the week I like to have a beer/whisky or 2 and chill on the couch watching c**p on YouTube for an hour before bed. This just happens to be at about 7am. Other tha...
Family ConflictI’m a 43 year old man who lives in Canada. My wife ended our marriage 3 years ago. She started having an affair with her married friend. She filed for divorce and left me and the kids (14 m, 12f) to be with the new love in USA. I have full custody of the kids. It was really hard at first but now we have a good routine going on and kids are doing great. They see a ther***st regularly. I neve...
RelationshipI (m26) became a dad a month ago. Hence, why I’m posting at 4 am. I can’t sleep. I got my girlfriend (f24) who I was living with pr****nt. Her parents never really approved of me after that. When I brought her home after the birth, her parents came with us. I paid a buddy of mine to buy a bunch of things she couldn’t have while pr****nt or avoided while pr****nt and put them in a basket. So...
ParentingI still can't believe this thing happened to me and I'm just so lost and so tired now, I never expected for my husband to do this to me after everything we have. English is not my first language and I'm still in shock so please forgive me if there's some mess in my post, I'm just venting and feeling so broken. I've never used Reddit for things like this and just watched stories from the intern...
ParentingMy best friend "Emma" pa*sed away from cancer two years ago. We were like sisters—she was my maid of honor, I was hers. When she was diagnosed, I was her primary caregiver, helping her through chemo and spending every possible moment with her. Her husband "Mike" was a different story. During her treatment, I discovered he was having an affair with a coworker. Emma knew but was too sick to deal ...
OtherI'm the only one who cooks in our house. It's just 4 of us, my husband, my daughter and little brother. My husband is 27 and I'm 25. My husband barely knows how to make eggs, even though I've tried to talk to him constantly about learning how to cook. My daughter and brother are still in elementary school so they only help me cook. The responsibility falls on me and it's honestly exhausting....
ParentingI (25F) have been dating a guy (31M) for the past 2 months. However, last night he told me he has 2 kids. I was honestly shockeddd that this was the first time he was telling me. Especially since we’ve been dating over Christmas and didn’t even mention it? I’ve never dated anyone who had kids before, so naturally I was curious and started asking questions. Whenever I got to my 4th question ...
Food & DietMy wife has a huge struggle with time management, whenever we have guests over, they always end up waiting for too long for food to be ready. Her argument is that she is struggling because there's just so much to do all at the same time. I'm the complete opposite...I get all ch**es done on time and never had an issue with having so much to do at the same time. Last week we were having some ...
OtherThe gym I go to is very small. Not a lot of machines and not a lot of patrons. This means working out fairly close to people even if you don’t mean to. Yesterday I (23 f if it makes a difference) was on the extended leg press doing my thing when a girl and her boyfriend began working out on the machine beside me. (One would do a set while the other waited beside them) The girl looked at me, ro...
OtherI worked for a company as an engineer. I originally told the owner that I expect $35 an hour, which was the average for my position at the time. I agreed to $24/hr to then work my way up as I prove myself (yes that was naive). After 2 years, they have b*mped my pay to $26/hr. I brought up my expected pay from way back when, but I was told to keep working for it. Another company sent me a job o...
