A netizen shared how he was feeling sick one morning and couldn’t go to school, and his mother thought that he was trying to chao keng.
Here is the story:
How did my mother manage to make me feel bad for being sick?
Woke up and pooped my intestines out, tried to just eat something and get on with it because I didn’t want to miss school.
Told my mother I wasn’t feeling well and she just said to take it easy after school, fine. I ate something small and threw up in my mouth, told my mom this wasn’t going to happen.
She got visibly annoyed and when I asked why she said it was because I get sick so often and I’m missing stuff. I almost had my shoes on ready to go before I knew it was just too bad, does she think I’m doing this on purpose?
Netizen comments
If you are experiencing these specific types of symptoms often, you need to see a doctor to find the cause. Perhaps it is a gastrointestinal issue?
Nah don’t listen to your mum about that, I had a friend who did what your mum was saying (chao keng) but if you seriously aren’t, don’t feel bad…
I haven’t had a great relationship with my MIL, she’s stubborn and pulls tantrums when she doesn’t get her way. She shows up unannounced and gets mad when people don’t read her mind on what she wants.
She never ever comes to our house and always expects us to go there. I finally put my foot down and said I will not go to her house until she comes to ours and it will have to be a back and forth.
We invited her several times and she declined. She finally agreed to come tomorrow for lunch. I cleaned the house so well, bought $90 in groceries to make a bunch of food for them. We called today and asked that they come at 2 pm- guess that was a mistake.
She wanted to come earlier. She then said she will not be coming at all. We asked what time she prefers and she said 12- we said sure. She said never mind, still not coming, bye. Won’t talk to us now.
WHAT on earth goes on in this woman’s head? We were willing to change the time and because we didn’t guess the right time to start she now refuses to come over and she’s mad at us.
And I can guarantee she will change her mind last minute tomorrow and say she’s coming- I told fiance she isn’t welcome tomorrow now because I have plans. I don’t actually have any but I think she’s acting like a child and I don’t want to see her at this point.
Just needed to vent, this woman behaves like a 12 year old and it drives me nuts.
For the past two weeks, I have been dating my ex behind my current husband’s back. Although dating, maybe too much said, we mostly meet to “have some fun”.
I love my husband very much, he is tender, kind to me, in bed he is also good. I split up with my ex a few years ago because we argued constantly, he yelled at me.
My husband and I have been trying for a baby for two months. I don’t take birth control, we have stated that to make it last longer we will use the pull out method.
However, I want the baby to be my ex’s… I don’t want him to raise it, but I want it to have his qualities, his confidence, his determination, his hardworking, his masculinity. I don’t want to pass on that “softness” of my current husband to the child.
So for the past two weeks, I have been visiting my ex and letting him finish inside me….He knows I’m off the pill but doesn’t care, so I guess it doesn’t matter to him.
I think my husband will be a great father, thanks to just his caring nature. That he would raise my child with me to be a wonderful human being. But I don’t want to hurt him so I’m afraid to talk to him.
What should I do? Should I prepare to be a single mother? Or should I go back to my ex even though I don’t want to? Or, as I sometimes think, should I go see a psychiatrist?
Here are what netizens think:
If what you’re saying is true, then I’d strongly encourage you to break up with both guys today and go see a psychiatrist…seriously, ASAP. A baby is the last thing you need right now.
The child isn’t even created yet, and I already fear for him/her.
The first thing I would do is come clean to your husband. The second thing you might want to do i brush up on your genetics. Many of those traits you like are learned, not inherited.
A netizen shared how her husband doesn’t care about her birthday, despite all she does for him on his birthday.
Here is the story:
“My husband didn’t forget my birthday, he just didn’t care.
For his birthdays, I ask him what kind of cake he’d like and either pick it up or make it. I make sure he has time with his friends, I make reservations at restaurants (or during pandemic, pick up his favorite sandwiches or pizzas), I get the beers he likes, presents, and I keep the kids for the whole day so he has time to have be with his friends or play video games.
This year, he said “happy birthday” at 10 am and I solo-parented from 7 am to 11 pm like I do most days. He didn’t forget, he just didn’t care.
Some people seem to think I want some grand affair. The bare minimum would have been fine, and yes he knows I want some recognition for my birthday. He just didn’t do it. I wanted to get it off my chest before talking to him about it because what he doesn’t deserve is a bunch of verbal insults yelled at him in the heat of the moment just because I’m mad.
Also, it doesn’t matter at all what someone else would or would not want for their birthday; I wanted him to show me he cared and he didn’t, and that hurt. I don’t care if you don’t care about your birthday.
We talked and he claimed not to know I felt this way. I told him yes, he did know and he said “Yeah, I guess I’m just tired.” And that was it. I’m going out with my friends this weekend and having a bonfire in their backyard. Whether he comes or not is up to him.”
Editor’s note: Try ignoring his birthday, let him have a taste.
So fun fact the first (and only) time i’ve ever tried to have intercourse, i had an anxiety attack after i took my shirt off and after the other party calmed me down
I left quite quickly and never spoke to them again (which i feel kinda guilty about but then again they never tried to contact me again and we were never in an established relationship)
Snd since then i have actively avoided any kind of intimacy despite my craving for physical connection and someone who cares about me.
Yea im really touch starved and want a relationship but also dont for obvious reasons….so yeah
Netizen’s comments
May sound like odd advice, but why not find someone to help you get over it? If you’re into any genders and you explain the situation (how you fear intimacy), I’m sure a friend could help you get over it. I used to suffer from performance anxiety, I had a close friend agree to let us explore each other and after that I never felt awkward again in a bedroom.

I (26M) hooked up with my friend (41F) and almost got caught by her daughter (19F)
For the record, I was 25 at the time of this happening but I just turned 26 today but anyway…I worked at this store earlier in the year and had been working with this woman there for a few months.
We instantly became friends and better friends over the months of knowing her. I’ve met her husband and her two kids who are 15 and 19.
They all like me and I get along great with her family. She’s in great shape and I’ve always been into her. I knew that nothing would ever happen and I would just always have a crush on her and thought how awesome it would be to hookup with her cuz she’s entirely my type.
But figured I was way too young for her and that would just simply not ever happen. So she quits the job and a few months later, I do too.
We’re both in different jobs now and never see each other, but we still talk all the time and call each other at the end of the week and gossip.
So she calls me at the end of the week about a month ago and says she has news, she wants to get a divorce. I knew that she had been having problems with her marriage and was always hoping she’d get a divorce just so I could hit on her without feeling bad (not that I really cared anyway).
So I ask her out to get drinks to celebrate. So we go out to this restaurant and she’s drinking like 6 cocktails within 2 hours, and I’m tipsy.
She gives me this big hug and thanks me for always treating her with respect, not being an a-hole, and she tells me she loves me, then kisses me.
Then we kiss more, end up making out at the bar of this restaurant on a packed Saturday night. Before we leave, she invites me over to her house.
So we F all night long. And just as we’re falling asleep and cuddling, her daughter tries getting into our bedroom. Thats about it, but it was still an “oh crap” moment.
Here we are 1 month later. We’re still friends and nothing is weird between us. We have agreed to keep it between us obviously.
She still hasn’t filed for divorce either and we’re supposed to have dinner with our friends this weekend. Here’s to hoping for more nights like that.
Reasons to give to sneak off and make love with bf during holidays?
Hey y’all! I (21F) have been with my boyfriend (21M) for about 6 months, and this is going to be our first holidays together.
We’ve discussed me wearing a quiet, remote control “toy” when we’ll be playing board games when we’re with his family. Thing is, I can also imagine that I will want to have fun with him at least once or twice that night.
What are some excuses we could give to his family to get to spend 15-20 minutes alone?
Netizens’ comments
Someone is going to need something picked up from a store at some point. Missing coffee creamer? More toy batteries for the presents? Be the first to be the errand runner.
please dont do the vibrator during public outings thing. Its so uncomfortable, and as someone who has experienced it: We can tell. Its not fun for the people who notice. Focus on family now that you have them there. Pulling other people into your intimate play without their consent is not okay, and you shouldn’t put others in that situation. Keep things like that in private.
LET ME GET THIS STRAIGHT? You want to have a toy inside your vajayjay in front of and with his or your family present while playing board games? What the f-
Dude that’s gross. Leave the family out of it.
Maybe just enjoy spending time with your family with out being weird about it. They won’t be there forever.
That’s pretty gross to be wearing/using that around his family.
Hmmmm, can you ask his family if you guys could run some errands for them? 😉 I mean, do they need more milk? Beer? Wine? Lol
Just an unsolicited note – I think most people would find the idea of using remote vibes in front of his parents as antisocial
In May, one of my good friends (23F) approached a bunch of us and asked if we would like to be her bridesmaids. Just for context, we’re all fresh university graduates at that point in time. Some of us just started working while others were still looking for a job.
Anyway, we were thrilled and honored to be her bridesmaids. She suggested a few places to get our bridesmaid dresses (price range was around $60-100/dress) and accessories, as well as the color/theme she wanted. She also told us that everything would be on her.
A few months before the wedding, we started planning her bachelorette party. Initially, she wanted a short trip overseas/somewhere nearby (I’m assuming all expenses paid by us) but we had a hard time finding suitable dates where everyone would be free to travel. We eventually settled on treating her to a meal and activity of her choice.
At around the same time, she asked if we had gotten our dresses and told us to send her a picture of our dresses once bought. That was when we realized that she had changed her mind, and we would be paying for our own dresses and accessories. She chose the accessories, dresses she gave us a color/theme but we were otherwise free to get from anywhere.
I’m not too sure about the others, but I felt a little betrayed/annoyed but we went ahead with the bachelorette party anyway (all expenses paid by us).
Anyway, fast forward to the actual wedding in November, bride took back the gatecrash red packet after we were done taking all the gatecrash pictures and videos. Bride also did not give us any red packets at the end of the wedding. Grab rides to the various venues were on us.
She did, however, thank us in our Telegram group chat for our help but that was pretty much it. We all gave her a red packet for her wedding nonetheless (amount based on market rate).
One of the bridesmaid and I feel “used” and we can’t help but feel very annoyed/angry after the wedding. We’re not too sure how the other bridesmaids feel about everything but we don’t really dare to ask them for fear of being seen as stingy/petty.
This is our first time being bridesmaids and I am just wondering if this is the norm or am I being petty?
Edit: Thank you for the validation/comments. Just to add on, bride insisted on paying for all the expenses for her bachelorette party as well as bridesmaid accessories first because bride wanted her credit card points; and subsequently texted us to pay her back. We initially thought that she would be paying for her own share for the bachelorette party or something (since the dresses and accessories were already on us) but we were wrong, she just wanted the credit card points.
Edit 2: Bride texted in our group chat after the wedding and promised to give us a red packet for helping. It’s been a month now but we haven’t received anything. So this is definitely not ignorance. It’s not about the money anymore but her not keeping her “promises”.
Edit 3: I didn’t write my name on the red packet that I gave her just before the dinner banquet because I was too busy helping out – this is on me (not quite sure about the other bridesmaids or groomsmen). I just placed it directly in the angpow box at reception. Maybe that’s why she didn’t give us all a red packet for helping?
