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...
RelationshipMy husband's paternal grandmother has an "oh don't worry, everything will work out fine" mentality. I didn't think it extended to the safety of newborn babies though, or I never would've let her babysit my 3mo son, even for just 3 hours. About a week and a half ago while she was babysitting, I got a call from her saying my son had "a bit of a tumble". I heard my son screaming in the backgro...
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 ...
Relationshipso this is one of those situations where i think i’m justified, but my wife is saying i took it too far and now her whole family is p**sed at me. i’ve been married to my wife (29f) for about a year, together for five. everything’s been good overall, but her family is… intense. very tight-knit, very in-your-business type people. i’ve always tried to be respectful, even when they’re kind of o...
RelationshipI recently kicked my sister out of our home for the way she reacted to a photo of my husband & his first wife. I met him a few months after she d*ed in a car accident, got married 2 years after that. We've been together 6 years. He was devastated when she d*ed. I told him I never expected to "replace" her in any way & considered myself another chapter in his life. I was warmly accepted into ...
Food & DietAITAH for canceling a reservation that my sister made for 12 people at a Brazilian steakhouse with the expectation for my vegetarian wife and I to pay for everyone. I said som**hing to my sister privately about not going to Brazilian steakhouses because my wife (of 20 years) can not eat there. She suggested that I would be able to save a few dollars on the total bill by my wife "taking one for...
RelationshipI'm a sucker for music and songwriting. I haven't written many songs, let alone record. But I had good inspiration and I wrote a very touchy one for my girlfriend who I've been with for 3 years. I even synthesised music for it and I want to record it and personally give it to my gf since its special for us. My family asked me to play them the song since its my first song that I've finished....
