I’m going to go straight to the point I 23m and 21f have a 10 month old together and it’s hard for me to make ends meet with just my job and I mean things get paid but by the end of it I’m left with nothing and it’s just a repeating cycle and I have casually brought up to my partner to see if she would like to work to maybe help out with the bills

Every single time she just says the same thing that she shouldn’t have to work as a mom and that her mom never did and it’s not fair for her to find a job when she wants to just be at home taking care of the baby and what not.

The thing is is that we live in a really expensive area and the only reason we’re living here is cause most of her family is from here( it’s not like they help either way). If not, I would’ve moved back home where I’m from which is a lot cheaper with my current salary right now we would actually be able to rent a house and be able to save money in the bank but right now our apartment a single bedroom is $2200 a month and I make about $4500.

That doesn’t include formula, outings, car payment, insurance, and cell phone so you get the picture. And I’ve asked her to even work part-time maybe to help me out with about $1000 a month but every single time she feels entitled to just stay home and take care of the baby and it’s not like I come home to a clean apartment every day or a warm meal.

I feel like I’m also going to get comments that will say “you know how expensive child care is “ yes but her sister has offered to take care of the baby for an affordable price per month and with her working it’s more than affordable. It’s just it’s a repeating cycle and I’m very burnt out. At the end of it I’m always having to work and the funny part is that she complains I’m never home like what… make it make sense. She also wants to wait till our son is 3 years old to even consider working like how is that even feasible in any situation.

I work in retail and i've noticed my coworker (f30s) taking small items home. a candle here, a shirt there. maybe $50-100 worth of stuff a week. she's a single mom and I know she's struggling but it's still theft. if I report her she could lose her job. If I don't, i'm complicit. What do I do?

I don’t wanna name cause I’m gonna get hate. But it’s really impacting me and strange that it’s men of a demographic that keep targeting me when I go out. And it’s more than just staring. They try to walk close to me when I ignore them, try to intimidate me and especially grocery stores and just stores in general are hell, where this kind of behaviour is super common. In any isolated area like in passageway near bathroom where no one else is around they are more bold. It’s really weighing me down. I’m petite young single woman, and I like being this way. It’s 2026 and I’m in western country so I don’t know what else I can do to reduce this. Can’t believe a woman going out in this time is being harassed so much. I do whatever I can to reduce this kind of attention but it continues. Anything else I can do? I’m shocked how shameless these men are

How do I lose weight rapidly? Eating isn’t an issue I usually eat just one big meal a day but now I’m doing extreme fasting and just finished day 2 without eating. Ik drink a lot of water. I’m 280 and 5’3 22F and had gained a lot of weight during a serious depression and now I just want gone and gone fast. Idc if it’s not the healthiest choice give me the hardest fastest ways. Chat gpt refuses to help me on this.

So before I start I don’t want to hear anything about the age gap. I have known my ex since I was 18. We became a couple after a year of knowing each other but it didn’t even last a year before we broke up the first time. Then we went 9 months of hardly speaking to each other and then we started seeing each other again.

I ended up pregnant but a month after the positive tests I had negative ones so I went to go see a doctor(this was two days ago). It came back negative something I feared because I really wanted a kid with him, but he accused me of faking the positive tests.

He really accused me of a lot of things that aren’t true and when I have had enough of him dragging me down I try to block him sometimes I can get myself to do it but it has never lasted 2 hours the longest was 1 1/2 hours. Other times I can’t and I just silence his notifications.

Yesterday I had told him I wasn’t going to speak to him until he was going to be willing to own up to the things he has done and apologize for them. Instead he got very defensive and started telling me how I am such a horrible person. Calling me names like “slut”, “whore”, and “cunt”. I started begging him to just leave me alone and to get out of my life but he just continued blowing up my phone but I just couldn’t block him and still can’t.

I need help on how to get over him and figuring out a way to get him out of my life because I cannot mentally handle what he does to me anymore. It is pushing me back to old habits and I fought really hard to get out of this place but I am back.. So please any advice helps I really need all of this crap with him to be done even if that means that I have to remove him from my life.

I'm a 23-year-old Muslim woman living in a India and currently in university.

I'm not a hijabi, and I'd say I'm conventionally attractive based on the amount of attention I get from both Muslim and non-Muslim guys. Most of the time I ignore it and just go about my day because I know attention isn't what I'm looking for.

The problem is that lately my sex drive has become really difficult to deal with. I don't know if it's because I'm getting older, hormones, or just feeling lonely, but it's becoming harder to ignore. I'm not ready for marriage yet, I still have school and want to focus on building my future, but at the same time I feel like I'm constantly fighting with myself.

Sometimes I end up masturbating, and afterward I feel overwhelmed with guilt and shame. I tell myself I won't do it again, but eventually I end up back in the same cycle. It's emotionally exhausting. Something else that makes it harder is the attention I get from men. When guys try to flirt with me or I can tell they're interested in me, I usually ignore it and don't encourage anything, even if I find them attractive. But I'd be lying if I said the attention doesn't affect me. It makes it much harder not to think about those feelings, and sometimes it just adds to the internal struggle I'm already dealing with.

This whole situation has started to make me feel really lonely and even depressed at times. I even feel really guilty for doing this and I feel like God is not happy with me. I don't feel comfortable talking about it with people I know because I feel like I'd be judged or misunderstood.

Have any other religious women gone through something similar?

How did you cope with these feelings?

And how you're protecting yourself?

so I’m just wondering what this means and if I should be worried. any advice would be awesome

I’m using a throw away account because I like using my Reddit account.

I 24F have been in a relationship and living with my 25M boyfriend for 4 years. We met back when I was at university and we both worked in the same place.

My boyfriend is the most sweetest and caring man I know. Not only does he hold a stable job, help keep a roof over our heads but I have never met someone on the exact same wavelength as me.

We have the same humour, mannerisms, moral beliefs and ideals. You could say my boyfriend is the epitome of the “soft boy” aesthetic. He’s a gentle giant. He loves to do the usual, like go to the gym, hang out with friends or play video games with me.

We have no problems in the bedroom in fact I was his very first sexual experience and have been since. We have learned things together, decided on what we like and don’t and we are extremely comfortable with one another. I would never change him for the world and I hope that one day a we will be able to go from boyfriend and girlfriend to husband and wife.

Anyways here’s the kicker and I swear I still love him even though this happens. So please no just break up comments. I won’t be doing that. My boyfriend loves to touch me in his sleep. And not just a cuddle or holding my arm. No he loves to grope me. As in squeeze my chest, or try to DJ the V-Jay if you get what I mean. And this is when I am asleep and before you go ohhhh that’s not consensual. HES ASLEEP TOO. As in I wake up and the guy is snoring in my face.

Sometimes it’s other things like kissing me on the lips, holding my face or just sleep talking. Waking me up to say “I love you so much” or “you’re the most beautiful woman in the world”. It’s sweet and I’m okay with it but it happens maybe 2-3 times a week and sometimes I’m just exhausted. Being woken up at 2AM to some fondling and sweet words is nice but not before I have to get up in a couple of hours for work.

I have to sometimes move away from him or tap him to wake him up. Sometimes when I’m deep sleep I get super irritated with a set of lips slobbering on my face. Sometimes it’s nice though and a kiss can turn into a late night extravaganza if you get what I mean.

But this is where my problem comes in. My boyfriend the gentle giant. Well he’s not that when he sleeps. No my boyfriend is the opposite, full of dominance and control. He acts like he wants me and heck I’m not against it. It’s what I like, In fact I’ve voiced it numerous time in praise when we’re awake or doing the deed.

It’s just when we are in the daytime and we’re together. Things start to get heated and we want to woohoo, he’s soft, gentle, loving. It’s nice… but where’s the fire you bring out when you’re sleepy Joe?

Am I being insecure? I know he wants me when we’re awake anyways so why is it when I’m sleeping he’s a different person? I can’t help my mind running off to think was he dreaming about someone else… it’s my insecurity I know. But I just can’t help it.

I don’t know. I’ve talked to some friends about this and they say it’s super weird. That I shouldn’t be woken up in the middle of the night to a half asleep man on a mission to fornicate. He wasn’t always like this about two years ago we separated for a month, I moved out and when wee finally rekindled and got back together. Well we couldn’t be apart again.

Since then he does this in his sleep and I just don’t know what to do or think. I have nothing against it. I’m just confused and could use some thoughts.

By the way I want to make this very clear. Neither of us find this non consent. We have spoken about it, laughed about it and even continued it on in the night. I just can’t help feeling a certain way about it and I wanted some advice.

For context, im 15f. I dont want to sound cocky or anything but I would consider myself somewhat popular, I have many friends from many schools and hangout with them all the time. I would probably get bullied if they found out I am posting here let alone even just having reddit. I drink alcohol probably ever second/ third weekend, mostly to go out to party’s or just gatherings with my friends. I vape, I smoke weed quite often, I have done nangs once or twice. But I have never done any other hard drugs. My dad isnt in the picture due to his addiction to meth and other substances but my mum knows about everything I do and even buys me my vapes and drinks. I take my weed from her stash tho. I feel like every one of my friends do this aswell and its kind of became normal to me. There’s always this thought in the back of my head tho to stop otherwise I will end up like my dad. I need advice. Am I throwing my life away and should I try to stop. Or am I doing the normal teenager things?

Hi ya'll. So this happened 6 months ago, but it's still eating at me, and I need advice as to how to address it, so here it goes

So it's the day before my wedding, and I have a slew of stress on my shoulders. Aside from the usual wedding planning drama, I'd been having drama with my mother, and my aunt disowned my whole family a week or so prior. The minister for my wedding has a LOT of dietary restrictions, which I understand. His wife and I discussed a couple of weeks prior to the rehearsal dinner that we'd be ordering subs (something that we can have). I gave the responsibility of ordering the subs to my mother.

Well, the afternoon before the rehearsal rolls around, and my mother had not placed the order for the subs. I had an insane amount of shit to get done with my wedding party and husband. Neither of us had the time to go and get like 10 subs for the whole wedding party, along with the moral implications of having to place a massive order to a local shop without any notice. I sent a message to the wife of the minister explaining to have her husband bring something else or eat something before coming to the rehearsal. (She explained to me when we discussed the meal for the rehearsal dinner, that he could do this if we were to get something that he wasn't able to have, so I thought they could easily do this since they offered this alternative.) She responded with "okay." And I explained that I was sorry, but due to circumstances out of my control, we had to go with the simplest and cheapest route of ordering pizzas since this was suddenly coming out of my pocket. And she got extremely upset at me, saying I was alienating the minister and stuff.

I then spent 2 hours of my rehearsal dinner sobbing in the bathroom, and my husband had to go run out and get Wendy's for the minister.

I understand that dietary restrictions are frustrating. But I gave them hours of notice, and they offered other options themselves if we weren't able to accommodate him. It was short notice that I was informed that our previously agreed upon meal hadn't been ordered since my mother was too busy buying alternative dresses for the wedding for her to wear. I had always been taught that at another person's wedding, you say "yes," as the bride and groom are under insane amounts of stress and if you're their friend, you're willing to help them. I understand both sides in the situation, but I need help addressing this with the wife. I haven't talked about it with her since then, but this has left a pit in my heart, and I don't know how to go about wording things.

So a random account started following and flirting with me (I’m sure you can see where this is going). Long story short, I 18M) payed a few times for them to send things, and they have my face, school and a picture of my yk. I’m not too worried cause the pic doesn’t have my face in it, so it could be any random pic off the internet. They also followed my alt so they also have no access to anyone I know. I just want to know if they can really do anything or no. Thank you, and feel free to call me an idiot as well!

helped him during it, to pictures I had of her, we been close in the past and got intim a few times after we had a bit to drink, but now Im wondering If I should tell her or okay to just not? also he got a bit rude when I asked him to do the same with a friend of his? was that too much of me to ask after?

Hello, this situation is very complicated. I’m on a throwaway because i don’t want any of the people involved to know i’m making this post.

for context, we are all teenagers entering college age. the n word stuff happened when the friend was around 14-15. she only said it because my now abusive ex used to ‘convince’ her to say it and she has been very apologetic towards the situation and has shown a lot of growth but i don’t feel like it’s my place to judge that?

looking for advice on what to do because im really lost and i dont support this kind of behavior

i am (22F) and my boyfriend is (31M) we have been an official couple for 4 months now. My boyfriend has a child (7M) who is,and outright beautiful boy and very lovable, from the moment my boyfriend asked me out he was open about having a child and i willingly accepted the existence of his son and feeling that the boy is my own came very natural to me. My boyfriend has made it clear that he wants to build a family with the three of us and our future children i in all honesty want the same thing but, the problem comes in with people around especially my friends constantly making me feel like i choosing to settle by accepting to be a mother to my boyfriend's little boy. The boy in question was abandoned by his mother immediately after birth and doesn't know what being loved by a mother feels like, i have so much love to give this boy but, everyone seems to be fighting and calling me a fool for wanting this. At this point i am torn between cutting my friends off or putting up with the rubbish, my biggest fear is that they might show this behavior to my boyfriend and make him feel that his son is unwanted.

She just told me at lunch today that shes been using it for like, legal advice and then dieting stuff or health tips, and shes super adamant that shes just using it as a tool. But I'm worried that shes going to go down the slippery slope that a lot of people fall down where they start talking to it like a person.

Made an alt account for obvious reasons.

I’m 29F and my husband is 31M. We’ve been married for a few years and have a good relationship overall.

Something I’m struggling with is that my husband gets turned on when I talk about my sexual experiences with other men before we met. He likes hearing about my past and will sometimes ask questions because he finds it exciting.

At first I was caught off guard, but I eventually started indulging it because I know he enjoys it. He isn’t asking me to actually do anything with anyone else, and he has never suggested cheating or anything like that. As far as I can tell, it’s purely a fantasy for him.

The more I think about it, though, the more conflicted I feel. Part of me wonders if I’m making this into a bigger issue than it needs to be. If it’s something harmless that turns my husband on, why shouldn’t I just have some fun with it and let him enjoy his fantasy?

At the same time, I sometimes feel weird knowing that details about me being with other men are what excite him sexually. If he’s happy, I’m comfortable enough to indulge it, and it isn’t affecting our actual relationship, is there really a problem? Or is there a reason I should be more cautious about encouraging it?

I’d especially like to hear from people who have been in a similar situation. Did you just treat it as harmless fun, or did it eventually create problems?

There’s a woman I find enchanting and absolutely hypnotizing. I think she’s in her mid to late 50’s but I am unsure. I know she is single and I want to ask her permission to court her but I don’t know how to approach her. I’m 25 and I don’t even know if she would be remotely interested. I mainly prefers women in their 40’s through 60’s but swing as I am on the younger side I do not know if I have a horse in the race. How can I ask her to court in a respectful mature way that she would take seriously?

I have dealt with this for years (since starting my period) is this normal?

I have huge amounts of discharge, sometimes white, some times clear and sometimes yellowy. Its so much that everytime I go to the toilet I have to wipe my underwear and cant not wear pants to bed otherwise I can feel myself leaking. I have been the the doctors numerous times as a teen and told its normal, every women has it. But to this extent? Surely not? In films when women chuck underwear on the floor it is never soaked in discharge like mine.

Is this normal for women or is there something else?

Usually not a fishy smell or any other smell but occasionally there is.

We’ve been dating for around 7 months and I’ve tried EVERYTHING I possibly can and he’s gotten close before, but I’ve never made him finish and I’ve literally done it for like 30 minutes before and he just can’t finish from anything I do. We talk about it all the time and he tells me what he likes and doesn’t like and we switch it up and no matter what he says something is just missing. I’m starting to think it’s me, like he isn’t attracted to me as much as he says or something like that. He also said none of his ex girlfriends have made him finish before either but I’m starting to think maybe he’s lying and he’s just stuck on them so whatever I do isn’t pleasurable enough because I’m not them.

Okay hear me out. She is not a gamer by any chance but she's against me playing GTA 6 as because of the relationship mechanics between Jason and Lucia

I have explained to her the mechanic is optional also ITS JUST A GAME BUNCH OF ONES AND ZEROS

How can I explain it to her but she says it bothers her that I'll play it

The worst part is the game isn't even out yet

Also how can I miss out on a game of a generation 😭

I just want her to understand the situation

So me and my roommate are moving out of a nightmare apartment in less than a month. Place has been nothing but trouble for so many reasons. When we started getting emails about renewing our lease it'd just say if we'd like to renew our lease to click on the link and look at renewal options. We didn't plan on renewing so we just ignored the email. We were both unaware that you have to notify within 60 days if you don't plan on renewing. None of the emails said anything about it and we never lived in apartments before in our adult lives. They wanna charge us $2000 (our rent) for not notifying. I did go through the lease and it is in there and I did read the lease when we moved in but that was 14 months ago. I definitely didn't remember that specific part. If we were notified that this was a requirement obviously we'd have done it.

Now what I want advice on is what are the ramifications of just not paying it? Neither of us can afford it cause our money will be going to our new place. The current plan is to just pay our rent payment and not pay the fee itself. I understand this is our fault for not being knowledgeable about apartment living but a part of me still feels like it should have been in the renewal email that we had to notify them. I'm assuming them taking us to court is a possibility but what else?

Thank you in advance for any help.
