BoundariesThis has been an ongoing argument between my wife and I, but it resulted in a huge argument today and I’m starting to wonder if I’m in the wrong. I think it’s impossible for someone in my position to see my wife’s point of view fairly so tell me who’s the a*shole here. I’m also not interested in any relationship advice, our marriage is fine, it’s solely this topic/argument that I’m interested ...
RelationshipMy husband (35) is disabled, he's in a wheelchair and is home 24/7. Because he needs me around to a*sist him, I'd have him and his chair nearby while I do laundry or cook or clean. He's with me most of the time except for when I go to the bathroom, but even then he'd complain about me being away for so long. I don't even go shopping, everything gets delivered to our home. I haven't seen my ...
Family ConflictMy ex wife and I got divorced (one of the reasons is that she was (still is) married to her job and not me) 3 year ago, We have fifty-fifty custody of our 4 year old son. I've met my current girlfriend almost 2 years ago and we're planning on getting engaged on the end of 2022.

He started asking to drive my car with the excuse of wanting to look for a job. there are 2 problems with this...first is that I'm a nurse I work odd hours and need my car most of the time and he literally takes it all...
RelationshipMy wife (26f) and I (26m) both work 4 days a week, I work 12hr shifts and she works 8hr shifts. She would work more, but our daughter (1f) needs to be picked up from daycare. I leave for work before they wake up and some days get home after our daughter has gone to bed. This week, our daughter's daycare provider was sick, so my wife took the week off of work to care for her. I worked an extra d...
RelationshipI f32 have been dating my boyfriend m36 for 9 months. He has two little children who love going out to eat. We go out once a week and each time he happens to forget his credit card to make a payment. I'd obviously end up paying since we had the kids with us, but honestly it left me broke this month and the month before. I just received my payment for my 2nd job (part time). We agreed to go ...
RelationshipMy husband, M36, has been in the hospital for weeks. He just got discharged but he needs homecare (we got him a nurse) to be able to monitor his medical devices. His nurse comes over to handle stuff like catheter and cannula insertions and medication intake. I've noticed she's been acting a bit rude and overstepping by trying to tell me when to enter my bedroom where my husband's staying or whe...
RelationshipMy husband (32) and I (30) have been married for just over a year now and things couldn’t be rockier. I have a good job and make a decent amount of money, whereas my husband made not as much as me. Due to this, and the fact he was still living with his parents when we got married, we decided he would move in with me and I would continue to pay the rent and bills as long as he put money toward o...
RelationshipMy GF and I were out at a club to see a DJ. We were dancing, drinking, having a good time. My GF has been doing yoga for a few years and when she’s especially sauced she likes to throw in some splits and stuff on the dance floor. Well, we got sauced and as she’s doing her 3rd split or so a guy comes up and “makes it rain” on her - literally like 4 dollars. Obviously he was making a joke that s...
RelationshipI don't know if I am being materialistic, my husband says I am so I want to post here and get some objective judgments. With Christmas coming up, I did want a gift from my husband, mainly for the symbolism like the thought of getting a Christmas gift. I know he doesn't have much money because he's very reluctant to work and skips going to his part time job most of the time, so I told him it cou...

RelationshipI’m a successful software engineer and I dropped out my senior year because I had a good job opportunity that paid 6 figures. I’ve always been a bit self conscious about it because I live somewhere where people go to work after graduating from Ivy League schools. Not finishing college has never stopped me from getting a good job. Anyways my gf has a professional degree and she always just a...
