OtherHi I am 17f my sister 21 f was always a rebellious child but never got in trouble. Our grandfather left us both funds for College in his inheritance. The only catch was to actually go to college. My sister was the party animal and she got pr****nt at 18, my parents took care of everything, she still live with us with no father in picture. I wanted to start looking for collleges now to be bet...
Family ConflictTwo years ago my dad, my brother (13m) and I (16m) found out mom was having an affair. It shouldn't have surprised any of us. For over two years she was always busy and let us down so many times. She was so involved before. But she stopped showing up and supporting me when I was competing in swimming and she stopped asking about it, she flaked on me every time I wanted to do our record store b...
OtherMy brother Jake (18M) and I (17F) had the same dream college, H University. Also, in case you’re confused by the ages, we’re 1.5 years apart, but I skipped a grade so we were in the same grade for nearly our entire life. Jake was way more pa*sionate about H Uni than I was. He had several H merch clothing, and kind of just a*sumed he was going there. For example, in conversations he’d say thing...
OtherI'm m23 and few months ago I was at a nice bar in Toronto with my boys and I saw this really hot girl. Decided to shoot my shot and we spoke and danced for a bit and I offered to buy her a drink and she gladly accompanied me to the bar, when I got there I was like can I have a beer and whatever she wants. She promptly says can I get 4 double shots of 1942. Thats like $75 a shot for a double of...
RelationshipYesterday I purchased a bottle (a whole, normal sized bottle) of salad dressing for the meal I was planning to make. For context, I am the breadwinner in my household and buy almost all groceries, pay the mortgage, etc. I have a great relationship with my partner but I just can’t shake the fact that we had such a big disagreement over som**hing so silly. Anyways, I’m pretty normal with how I d...
RelationshipI've (27) been with my husband (32) for 3 years, we're expecting our first baby together. Long story short, my family and friends decided to throw me a baby shower and brought me a variety of gifts which consisted mainly of baby care essentials. I stored everything in the storage area but woke up the next day and they were all gone. I freaked out and called my husband, he didn't pick up so ...
Family ConflictI'm 18f, I'm the middle child of 9. 7 out of the 9 of us have severe physical and mental disabilities, and I firmly believe my parents kept popping out more in order to have a healthy child they can force to help out. Those two healthy children are me and my twin brother, Jake. 9 kids, 7 of whom are severely disabled, and the other two being financially dependent on you is a lot. My parents...
OtherThis is a pretty cut and dry scenario. My (32M) little brother (25M) has been in a string of relationships since he was young enough to know what dating was. On several occasions, the relationships ended because he was caught cheating with another girl (these are just the ones that I know about, there could be more). In fact, his current gf (19F) was the 'other woman' from his previous relatio...
OtherMy boyfriend (M 20) and I (F 21) live together at my parents. I have been having some pretty bad UTI symptoms and went to a walk in clinic 2 weeks ago when I had clear signs of a uti and they sent me home and said I tested negative. I woke up a week later with extreme hip pain. I spent all day on a heating pad and crying. 2 more days pa*s and then I woke up with the worst abdominal pain I’ve ev...
OtherThis actually happened on Valentine’s day but I’m still getting s**t for it. Please tell me if I’m TA. I’m really good friends with this guy (we’re both 20) and we pull little pranks on each other all the time. We both started working at the same place so we see each other a lot more. Around early February we were hanging out one night and he got very drunk (he normally doesn’t get that drun...
OtherI'm Black. My husband is white. He has a sister, who has a 3-year-old daughter who LOVES me, and who I think isn't too bad herself. My niece is equal parts terror and lovely, but mostly with me lovely. We hang out a lot to give my SIL a break, and my husband doesn't really "get kids" so it's often 1x1. I was out with my niece at a kid's playplace/mall for kids, and she was more terror than ...
RelationshipI (F29) have been with my boyfriend Adam (M27) for 2 and a half years. He's the quiet/shy type. It's very hard to get him to open up about what bothers him. For now I'm the one with an income. We get along easily though he can be...a bit unreasonable sometimes. e.g. he doesn't cook cause he's worried I won't like his food but still cooks for himself and the smell's pretty telling that his cooki...
