RelationshipSo I have a cat named Raven who's 3 years old. My girlfriend of 2 years moved in with me a few weeks ago and it was clear she didn't like my cat. I didn't think it was really a big deal until one day I got home and he was just gone. He's not an outdoor cat and he never goes outside. He was gone for hours and I was worried sick until my buddy came to my house and returned him, saying he found...
Family ConflictI am the by-product of my parents extra-marital affair. Both of them had spouses at the time. My birth-mother got pr****nt and had to tell her husband as he was overseas when I was conceived so there was no way I was his. A few months after I was born they decided not to divorce. I was given to my grandparents on my mothers side to raise with my birth father secretly paying child support witho...
RelationshipUltimately I realise that the majority of the blame was mine. I never EVER should have called her lazy because that isn't what she is. I lashed out and I shouldn't have. She stayed at her mothers for a few days, and we eventually met up to talk. I told her how it just got too much for me, but it was no excuse for lashing out and I apologised. She apologised also, not that she needed to, and we ...
RelationshipI’ve become frustrated with how quick a lot of AITA commenters are to encourage OP’s to leave their partners when a challenging experience is posted. While leaving a partner is a necessary action in some cases, just flippantly ending a relationship because conflicts arise is not only a dangerous thing to recommend to others, but it deprives people of the challenges necessary to grow and evolve as ...
RelationshipMy wife gets upset when I do this but I feel like I'm in the right here. If we are at a bar or a party, we usually go our own separate ways to socialize. I'll notice that she'll be talking to a guy that neither of us have met before and I can see on his face that he's into her. So I'll head over to where she's at and grab her, give her a kiss and compliment her. Som**hing like "She's so funny....
Family ConflictLast year my husband d*ed in a car accident. We were separated for about a year prior but not officially divorced, so I was named the administrator of his estate. I have my own home and I’m financially independent. We had two children together. In late summer of last year I learned that his parents were the beneficiaries and received a boat load of money. Since his death his parents have told ...
RelationshipMy husband (Mark) and I have been together for 10 years, and I love him unconditionally no matter what we look like. When we first got together as teenagers, we were both so much smaller. But in the last 3–4 years, he’s put on over 200 pounds. I don’t even care about the number on the scale—that’s not what bothers me. What k**ls me is that his weight has caused stage 2 hypertension, prediabete...
RelationshipA little back story. I female 30 and my husband 39 m have four children 11,9,6, &2. For the first 7-8 years I was a SAHM but I went to school and got a certificate and have been working off and on ever since. My husband makes more than enough money for me to stay at home but I would rather work. My 2 yr old has to go to day care every day but for my mental health I cannot be at home all day ever...
BoundariesI (M25) live with my close friend, Josh (also M25) and his girlfriend, Anna (F22). It used to be only Josh and I until the lockdown started back in March and Anna permanently moved in. I get along okay with Anna but we’re not super close. I guess that es**blishes the group dynamics. Yesterday, I couldn’t find my credit card. Josh and I searched the entire apartment for two f**king hours but...
ParentingMy husband and I were having trouble agreeing on a name for our daughter, so we decided we'd each pick one and then decide which arrangement sounded better to determine which name would be a first name and which would be the middle. It wasn't an in depth conversation so we didn't discuss vetoes or anything. I genuinely didn't think there would be anything he chose that I would hate that much. ...
ParentingMenopause has been h**l for me (51f). My looks have changed, with weight gain and severe acne being the most noticeable. The best acne treatments have not helped long-term. I am trying hard and failing to lose weight. My husband is very frustrated with the way I look. During a fight, he confessed that he is not physically attracted to me anymore. I told him, if he divorces me, I will tell o...
RelationshipI (32F) have been with my boyfriend, let’s call him Alex (33M), for about a year now. For the most part, things have been really good. He’s funny, sweet, and we’ve always seemed to be on the same page about what we want in a relationship. We’ve talked about fantasies a few times, but nothing too crazy just light-hearted, fun conversations. Or at least, I thought that’s all they were. Last weeke...
