RelationshipI (28f) have been married to my husband for 4 years and consider him my family. We will never have kids. I have recently started a new job. We've been really busy so I worked many hours of overtime. A few weeks ago my boss asked me whether I had family. I said yes and he didn't ask for more details. Last Friday he kept calling some of my colleagues into his office. Then he called me. I went ...
RelationshipI (28F) took my husband (31M) out to dinner for his birthday last weekend. I reserved a table at a nice steakhouse he loves and invited a few close friends and family, nothing huge, just 10 people. I paid for everything myself. At dinner, I stood up to give a short toast about how proud I was of him for hitting a milestone at work. I barely got two sentences in before he cuts me off and say...
RelationshipI (30F) am 8 months pr****nt with my first child, it's a boy. My husband Rodrigo (35M) d*ed in the army 3 months ago. My sister Kayla (28F) just gave birth five days ago. She and her BF live with our parents, and I temporarily moved in as well (it's a very big house) because I hated being alone and my parents have been very supportive. We were going to name the baby Alex, and I am still going w...
ParentingA bit over a year and a half ago me and my husband gave birth to our son. It was our first kid and we were incredibly nervous and scared we were gonna screw things up. The first week with him back where horrid he cried all the time and it was ridiculously exhausting but I’d be lying if I said we didn’t know what we were getting into. At the start my husbands bsf was amazing she would come round...
RelationshipMy husband thinks it is perfectly reasonable for him to go party at Afrikaburn (burning man in South Africa) and leave me in California alone with our 5 month old baby. He will be completely off the grid for a week, with no service, 10,000 miles away. Not that he could do anything from there but I can’t even reach him in an emergency. He’s telling me I can do som**hing for a week with my frien...
RelationshipMy husband has a daughter who is 6 years old. We have been married for the last 3 years. His daughter and I have an okay relationship. His ex-wife and I are civil. She really isn't difficult to deal with. Her and my husband usually co-parent well together. They are having a disagreement over SD6's hair. It is long (about 2 inches past her shoulders). She has thick, beautiful hair. The problem i...
RelationshipSo, I'm a slim guy, always have been. I'm 6' and with 165lbs. I workout and am strong, and muscular. Anyways, when I met my wife she was slim. After two kids she gained weight, which is understandable. Anyways, she always says s**t about my stature. That I need to gain weight etc. But last night, I was flexing in the mirror, and she basically laughed at me. I said som**hing, and she was like, y...
RelationshipI’m 38M and my girlfriend 41F moved in with me about a year ago along with her 20yr. old son. It was supposed to be temporary while she figured out a new place after some stuff with her lease fell through. I didn’t mind I care about her and I wanted to help. I have a decent sized place and I figured we could all make it work for a while. But man her son just doesn’t like me. I don’t know if...
RelationshipI (46f) was married to my ex-husband John (48m) a decade when I found out he had cheated multiple times with multiple women, one of whom became a fully fledged affair. We had three young kids at the time. How I found out was I started suffering some concerning symptoms, went to the doctor and some tests were ran and it was discovered I had gonorrhea which had caused pelvic inflammatory disorde...
RelationshipI (F24) have been dating my boyfriend, Jack (M25), for about 2 months now. I have a bachelors and work a relatively well paying job and rent a small apartment with another girl (F23) while I am saving up for a house. Jack dropped out of college to start his own business, but it didn't quite take off, so he's been working a minimum wage job while he figures out his next move. He still lives wit...
Family ConflictMy mom visited us yesterday morning at 10am while I was at work. She must've found the house a mess because once she left, she called me to rant about how filthy and cluttered the house was. She went on a long rant about my wife having an att*tude and almost kicking her out for pointing out that the house looked filthy and smelled. I just nodded and uh-um'd through the entire call then went...
RelationshipI love my wife very much, but she often frustrates me. I am a large man (6’4") and I am constantly hungry because I work as a firefighter. My wife usually eats lighter meals like salads and nuts, but she consistently takes food from my plate. I have asked her many times to stop, but she becomes defensive, saying it is just a small amount and I will not miss it. However, I do miss it, and when ...
