ParentingDuring dinner, the subject of children came up, and it was es**blished that all three of the OP's children (17M, 15F, 13F) do not want biological children. The eldest child is neutral, stating the decision depends on his future partner regarding adoption. This upset the wife, who insists every parent looks forward to being a grandparent. The OP countered that if the children adopted, she would...
RelationshipSo, me and my husband have vastly different tastes in basically everything. For the most part it doesn't matter, but we clash heavily when it comes to food. Before we met, I basically never ate out, drank nothing but water and unsweet tea (with the occasional juice) and ate mostly vegetarian, always pretty healthy meals. When we started dating I started eating out a lot more because that's wha...
RelationshipI (27f) am very confused. My boyfriend (25m) and I are both white. I was at the gym. My boyfriend came to pick me up but I wasn't done with my workout. He pointed out the fact that I was wearing silver hoop earrings. I thought he was going to say it som**hing about them not being safe at the gym. But what he said was, a white woman wears hoop earrings to attract black men. I was so flabber...
RelationshipMy son ‘Finn’ (18) is from a previous relationship. Since early childhood I had full custody; his mother is not in the picture. We were both young when he was born, so his childhood was a little uns**ble for a bit. However, I have my life together now. I got married when he was 7, and together me (m37) and my wife ‘Mary’ (f40) live as a blended family, with my two stepsons ‘Cody’ (16) and ‘Luc...
RelationshipMy wife and I are tight on money right now and thus, we didn't have anything in the budget for my wife's birthday gift. Instead, I sent her to her friends house for a few hours and my kids and I did all the household ch**es. When she got home, we showed the clean house off to her and told her it was her birthday gift. She said thank you but I could tell she was upset. I pressed her a bit and a...
Family ConflictI [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...
RelationshipI 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...
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...
RelationshipI 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 ...
RelationshipMy 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 ...
RelationshipI (22M) broke up with her (23M) about 2 days ago, today she called me, crying and v**iting. She told me that she’s pr****nt and she sent me a bunch of positive pregnancy test photos. She’s really scared, I’m also scared but Im trying to act like I’m not, for her. I’m trying to comfort her and tell her everything is okay and we’re going to get through this. The truth is I don’t want to have a ch...
