A netizen shared a story online of how his uncle dressed as a woman and goes out at night.

Here is the story:

When I was young, I always notice my uncle dress as a woman and leaves home but I did not understand until I was older.

My mom used to leave me at my uncle’s house whenever they went overseas and my uncle was a kind man that treated me well. However, in my memory, there was always something strange about him. It only occurred to me after my friend showed me a photo of a ladyboy from Thailand. I had to sit down and think back to when I was a kid spending time at my uncle’s house.

When I was young, I always noticed my uncle dressing as a woman and leaving home but I did not understand until I was older. He would put on these tight jeans and a tight blouse that showed off his slim figure. His hair was always done up in a stylish way and he had a full face of makeup on, complete with lipstick and eyeshadow. He would then take a purse and a handbag and leave the house. I was always curious where he was going but I never asked him about it.

My uncle was always nice to me and I never felt scared or uncomfortable in his presence. He would take me to the movies or out for ice cream and he told me stories about his life. I thought he was a bit unusual but I didn’t really think much of it until I was older and my friend showed me a picture of a ladyboy. That was when I finally understood what my uncle was doing and why he was leaving the house all dressed up.

I eventually asked my uncle about his lifestyle and he told me that he had gone through a lot of hardship to become the person he is today. He was forced to hide his true identity for many years due to fear of discrimination and judgment from society. I will never forget the moment he told me that he was transgender and that he was proud to be living his life as his true self.

So this conflict came up recently because I (24F) moved in with my boyfriend (25M). The issue is that he has started walking around his home and spending most of his days completely bottomless, bird bird out with just his shirt on. He calls this “Winnie the Poohing”.

He told me he started it during work from home because he thought it was funny to be on Zoom and just not have pants on.

I’ll be honest it makes me a little uncomfortable for him to just constantly have his bird out in front of me so I have requested he just wear boxers at least.

He thinks I’m trying to be too controlling and that I should appreciate his body. However, it just feels kind of unsanitary and weirdly dangerous (he was cooking with oil and a drop of oil spat out of the pan and landed on his bird).

Am I weird for not wanting to constantly look at my boyfriend’s bird.

Here are what netizens think:

• Is he being funny? No. Clever? No. Respecting your boundaries and comfort? Absolutely not. Is there any good reason he shouldn’t stop immediately? No. Do I admire his unwavering commitment to the stupidest bit of all time? Undeniably.

• Tbh “Winnie the Poohing” is a pretty hilarious term for this.. but yeah, after the 2nd day I would just not want his “”bare back” on the shared furniture ..every. Single. Day.

• I’ve always called it ‘Donald Ducking’
• I think this is a good moment to point out that even Donald Duck wraps a towel around his waist when he steps out of the shower! Not sure why…

• i always referred to it as “the cartoon bear.” i had a whole little dance and everything. my gf at the time playfully hated it.

A man shared a story online after he got into a dispute with his spouse on insurance coverage. Life insurance is typically marketed as protecting your loved ones and the story goes way beyond.

Somethings lost their value after doing for the sake of doing and forcing the decision on others

Here is the story:

I need a place to share my thoughts. My wife has been asking me to buy life insurance and place her name as the sole beneficiary.

I am in my early 30s and I have been married for 3 years, my parents are still not as old yet but they are soon reaching the age of retirement. I feel that putting only my wife’s name is not right. However, she had a massive argument with me over it.

I then told her to do the same, putting only my name and omitting her parents. (I said this to make her know how I feel). But she scolded me and said a lot of nonsense that “It’s not the same”.

I always have plans to do a 50-50, if anything happens to me my parents get half and my wife gets the other half. This is the default but she said that if I don’t put only her name she will divorce me straight.

I was thinking in my heart, She is also working as well and does she need the money that badly.

The thing is, we don’t even have kids, my plan was to buy the life insurance as soon as she gets pregnant and I am 100% sure is not because she has some health issues. If we were to have a kid we have to go through the medical way, this is confirmed by the doctor and in no way is she pregnant.

Married for 3 years, together for 8 years.

Before marriage, everything is sweet and fine. After the marriage, everything is about money and money.

The thing is, she is having a wonderful job earning over $6k a month and I’m about the same. We have a healthy amount of savings and she is still forcing me to do this.

This issue on insurance has been going on the past week and we are barely talking.

Sometimes, I used to question why other married man people cheat in their marriage. I can see why now.

Marriage has transformed from a sacred ceremony to a business transaction.

Should I leave her?

My wife and I have two kids, a 16yo son from a previous relationship of mine and a 14yo daughter. My son has been living with us full time since he was four.

To the current issue: My son has been suffering from cluster headaches for about one year now (they run in my family). He gets them every other month. Yesterday he got hit by one again while I was at work and my wife was home. When I got home in the afternoon I found my son was cleaning the storeroom (my wife loves to tidy and always buys too much garbage), or rather attempting to.

He was visibly in pain, pale, moving slowly, the typical watery eye etc. When I asked him what he was doing he told me my wife had told him to help her move those but I didn’t think he was in any condition to do so and sent him inside and to bed. I got inside and confronted my wife with it and she immediately got mad at me, saying it wasn’t a big deal for him and that she had him take one of his pills (they help but can only do so much).

So I reminded her that she lets our daughter stay home from school for two days every month and frees her of any chores when she’s on her period and is essentially being a biased hypocrite. We argued for a while and she said I’m „undermining her authority“ but I insisted on leaving our son alone for the day and tidy her garbage myself (Which I’d done anyway had she just waited for me).

Just to clarify: I don’t interfere with my wife keeping our daughter home when she’s not well, if she says that’s necessary then it’s fine with me. I’m also not asking what is worse but I don’t think it was okay of her to make our son do this when he was in a lot of pain and basically grimacing with every movement. She also knows that he’s not that great at standing up for himself.

She is taking advantage right?
