Family ConflictMy husband rented his aunt's home before we got married. He signed a month-to-month lease when he moved in. I moved in with him after our marriage because the rent was super cheap. My parents recently came to me asking if they could park their RV at our home. I didn’t see a problem with this. Our yards are really big and there is space. Because of city ordinance the RV has to be parked in the b...
RelationshipI need an outside opinion on this. This has been an ongoing issue that I have talked to her multiple times about. My wife makes less money than me and is the type of people who prefers to make her own gifts for people. The issue is she will do this even if the person doesn't want this. I will use myself as an example. For the past few years she has made every single gift I have been given. ...
RelationshipI (32M) have been married to my wife (29F) for four years, and we have a 3-year-old son. She’s not a bad person, but she’s constantly in a state of chaos, and every little thing becomes my problem. No exaggeration, I get these “emergency” calls multiple times a week. Flat tire? Call me at work. Forgot her wallet? Call me. Grocery store out of her favorite oat milk? Blow up my phone like the wo...
RelationshipEssentially, my husband has decided he wants to have a "guys only" trip this summer with my son (13 M) and nephew (12 M). My daughter (11 F) is a tomboy who is into sports and fishing and extremely close with her brother and dad, and the three of them often spent a lot of time together. My husband and I discussed this, and I insisted my daughter be included, but he mentioned that he really wan...
RelationshipI (30M) have a wife (30F) and a daughter (7F). I work in finance and my wife is a stay at home mom as I earn sufficient for the both of us. My wife is a great SAHM and takes great care of our house. I was lucky to buy a home as I earn well in a medium cost of living city. I love my wife but she finds it humorous to say that I am incapable of doing household tasks. We had agreed that she would ...
RelationshipFor the past few years I’ve wanted a very specific item. It’s about $500.00. I don’t like spending that much money on myself and this isn’t necessary to the household so I never bought it. It would just be som**hing to display, like an art piece (going to leave out exactly what it is because it would be identifying). This year my husband announced he was getting it for me for Christmas. Whi...
RelationshipMy ex(33m) and I(32f) been divorced for almost four years. We share two kids together, a 7 and a 11-year-old. He and his now wife married last year in the middle of April. She has a 12-year-old from a previous relationship and is currently pr****nt with my ex's child. Friday was my 11-year-old's birthday but we her birthday party was hosted on Sat**day at a bowling alley with me, my ex, his wif...
Family ConflictMy husband (35M) and I (31F) have been married for four years. We’re not broke, but we’re definitely not swimming in extra cash either. We have a one-year-old, daycare costs that feel like a second mortgage, and I’ve been budgeting down to the last cent, cu***ng coupons, meal planning, putting off things I need, just to make sure everything stretches far enough. And this has always been a bit o...
RelationshipMy husband (34M) and I (31F) have been together for eight years and married for five. We both work full-time, so we’ve always split household ch**es. But here’s the thing: his version of “helping” is a nightmare. For example, I’ll ask him to “help” with laundry. He’ll agree, but instead of sorting things like delicates or checking pockets, he just throws everything into the washer on one settin...

Family ConflictMy husband told me Sat**day that he'd had an affair and had a kid from it. Our kids are 14m and 10f and this child is 9f. Som**hing happened to her mother in the last couple weeks (I was a little too busy screaming at him to listen to the details) and he was leaving to go get her. My daughter came to me crying saying that he told her she had to share her room and her stuff with this girl for n...
RelationshipMy (31M) wife (29F) and I have been married for less than a year. Her sister is getting married in the upcoming weeks, and the whole thing is a full weekend out-of-town event Friday through Sunday. At first, I was on board. I figured it would be a nice trip, and I’d be spending time with family, meeting some new people, and celebrating. But as plans started coming together, I realized I’m not ...
