BoundariesMe: nurse. Working 50ish hours a week in paediatric ICU. Cry at least once a week because that s**t is hard. My salary pays our bills. All of them. Husband: 25M. Has a degree but isn't looking for a job. Works 2 days a week at the grocery store. Spends most of his time playing LoL. Today was supposed to be A Good Day. I had been begging my husband to swap his Sat**day shift to literally anyt...
RelationshipI (32F) have been with Paul (34M) for 4 years. A year ago we were in a car accident- Paul was driving and 100% at fault. Paul had no injuries, but I broke my back. I was in a back brace for months and am still going to PT. After I was out of the brace I started going to the gym and running, and at this point I’m in the best shape I’ve ever been in. I’m really proud of the progress I’ve made. ...
RelationshipMy husband and I went grocery shopping and afterwards he dropped me off at the nail salon, and he went home with the groceries. I thought that since he went home, he would have put the groceries up. When he picked me up from the nail salon and we went home, I saw that the groceries were on the kitchen floor still in bags. I asked him why didn't he put the groceries up, and he argued that he pu...
RelationshipI have been trying to write this out for a couple of days, because I truly feel like an awful human being and I have so much trouble putting this into words. This involves me (27f), my husband (27m) and my son (7). My son has a different dad, and his dad his completely out of the picture. Me and my husband has been talking about kids for a long time, and about half a year ago he started aski...
BoundariesI feel like this is entirely ridiculous. I live with my roommate "Matt". We used to be pretty close friends, but over the last 2 years of living with him, we've drifted apart, and I'm just waiting for our lease to move out on my own. Matt's girlfriend "Sarah" pretty much lives with us, despite not paying rent. I won't lie, she annoys me to no end. She's an ent*tled airhead who thinks the world ...
RelationshipI've been with my boyfriend (I'll call him Paul) for 3 years and living together for 6 months. Paul has serious problems with forgetting important documents and after the 4x he did this, I became responsible for carrying our documents in my purse. According to him, all documents have a digital version and that is enough, not all are digital (pa*sport) and not all places accept the digital form,...
RelationshipI’ve been at my job for 10 years and have 30 PTO days a year + holidays. My wife only has 17 PTO days + holidays. I try to take some days off randomly to do “me stuff”. But every time I tell my wife I’m taking a day off som**hing magically happens to ruin my day. A sniffle that we would have normally sent our kid to school with all of a sudden becomes “well you’re home you can stay with him”. ...
RelationshipI (28m) have 5 kids with my wife (32f). Please don't come after us with how many kids we have. I work roughly 50 hours a week (10 hour days m-f) and my wife is a SAHM. She does the majority of everything, cleaning, cooking, everything minus the shopping which my wife orders online and I pick up at the store. So here's the AITA scenario, my work schedules a work bonding fishing trip from Friday ...
RelationshipI gave birth around 2 months ago. I'm up a bit more than 10 pounds from my pre-pregnancy weight. I'm in constant pain, barely getting sleep, still recovering. I've been easing back into the gym this past week. My husband and I were showering after having s*x and while feeling me he said he misses my body and he said I used to look so good in s*xy clothes/lingerie before. I went quiet, finished ...
RelationshipJust created this account because the whole situation feels ridiculous and I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. We’re about to leave for a trip to visit family across the country. Yesterday our 8-year-old son Jake got into a huge argument with my wife, and she’s still acting cold toward both of us today. For some quick context: Jake is mildly autistic. He struggles with emotions somet...
RelationshipMy husband (33) is a picky eater but I know what meals he likes and make sure to cook them all week. I had to give up a lot of good meals to be able to cook him his favorites and make sure he doesn't miss one diner. However, lately he's been complaining about the meals I cook that are his favorites. only because "he's just not in the mood to eat this specific meal" so he would try to get me to ...

For over a year, Will has been going out with his girlfriend, Elise, who’s 19 and they moved in together 5 months ago. She’s a very sweet and respectful girl and I thought they made a nice couple. Well almost 2 months ago, I heard from my ex wife that Will kicked Elise out after he found out she was...
