RelationshipTwo years ago, I divorced my husband, Greg. The main reason was because he was rarely around. He was constantly working or traveling for work, even on weekends and holidays. Whenever I’d bring this up to him, he’d always minimize my concerns or say things like how we needed the money to maintain our lifestyle. While it is true we do live a pretty expensive life, he'd make far more than we need...

I came to the hospital to visit them and the baby the first day they allowed visitors and since then have accompanied my boyfriend at every baby visit. Today started off very rocky, before I came in for my 12 hour shift at the hospital I work at, my boyf...
RelationshipI'm not a prude. I understand that most men look at p**n for various reasons. I don't have a problem with it as long as it doesn't interfere in our lives. I was perplexed, though, when I discovered that the women he chose to look at were totally opposite from me physically, att*tude-wise, etc. He's generally a very progressive guy, so I was a little taken aback at some of his choices. I ask...
RelationshipMy wife and I have a fairly troubled marriage, I've made a lot of mistakes that I recognize and own and I'm in therapy to become a better husband and father. We are doing a temporary separation so we can both work on ourselves, but mainly me. We had a conversation about this and she told me what she was planning to do and when I commented that I might do the same she flat out told me no. She...
RelationshipI’ve been keeping a pretty huge secret from my husband for the last year, and it’s eating me alive. I was in a serious relationship before him, and my ex just found out I got married. Now he’s been texting me out of the blue, saying he still loves me and wants to reconnect. I haven’t told my husband because I’m terrified of how he’ll react. I know I should probably come clean, but what if it r...
RelationshipFour months ago, my husband (33M) and I (29F) lost our daughter. She was stillborn at 32 weeks. We named her Isabelle. The grief has been unbearable, but I’ve been doing everything I can to keep her memory alive because she was real to me, and I carried her, felt her, loved her. My husband, on the other hand, has been very quiet about it. I know we all grieve differently, but his silence has b...
RelationshipI (34M) have been married to my wife (30F) for three years, and we recently found out she’s pr****nt. We were both thrilled at first, but everything changed after our recent discussions about the Israel-Palestine conflict. I’ve always supported Israel and its right to defend itself, especially considering the current situation. My wife, however, has expressed her support for Palestine and has b...
RelationshipOkay Reddit, GF (24) and I (M28) have been together for three years. We obviously don't have a perfect relationship but I was happy with her. I haven't proposed yet but I was planning to. We get along well, share interests and hobbies, and I honestly consider her one of my best friends. We got into a huge argument four days ago while I was driving. Without disclosing exactly what it was abo...
OtherOkay, I KNOW this is going to sound bad, but hear me out because I’m honestly so confused about how I should feel. So my (24F) boyfriend (26M) and I were at this house party over the weekend. We’ve been together for almost two years, and he’s the kind of guy you’d look at and think “Yeah, he could chop wood shirtless and wrestle a bear” Like, he’s tall, muscular, very “man’s man” energy. He...
RelationshipI'm 39F, he's 51M. I work as a CNA and take home about $50k annually. He does som**hing mysterious (to me...) involving computers, and has a 100% remote position where he takes home $170k annually. He's been very frustrated with his job recently and has been talking about quitting to take a year off of work to re-sk**l and try applying again. We don't split finances besides the mortgage, so ...
