A man shared how he is a widowers and his daughter recently caught him sleeping with his date and now refuses to talk to him.

Here is the story

My daughter won’t talk to me. And I don’t know what to do.

Her mom and I were school sweethearts and had her young. We lost my wife over 2 years ago to cancer. Ever since it’s been me and her. We have both gone to therapy since it happened to cope with the grief. I was especially destroyed by it, she was the love of my life.

When I met my coworker “Maya” I didn’t expect to develop feelings. For the past 4 months we’ve worked together I just did. She knows about my history with my wife. And she’s been pretty respectful about it. Finally over a month ago I asked her out on a date, she said yes. I didn’t tell my daughter about any of this because I wasn’t ready to admit to her that I’m interested in someone else. Figured to date a while and if I felt it was really gonna go somewhere then find the right time to tell her.

This weekend my daughter was gonna be with her best friend’s family to celebrate her birthday at their home. She was meant to stay there until Monday morning. So thinking that I’d be free, Maya and I went out on our 3rd date. At the end of it we got pretty caught up in the kissing. We just wanted to be together.

And my place was the closest. We got intimate last night and fell asleep. My daughter showed up wayyy sooner than expected. Her work asked her to cover a shift on Monday so she decided to drive back early before Sunday traffic hit. She found us asleep together and lost it. When we talked after Maya left she accused me of not caring about my wife and she’s disgusted I’d move on so easily. I know what she’s saying is coming from her grief.

I tried talking getting through to her. She didn’t want to hear it though. All day today she’s been ignoring me. This is killing me. I can’t lose my daughter too and I don’t know what to do to make this situation better. What can I do for her to make this easier? This isn’t how I wanted her to find out about this

My family is low key wealthy, but my parents have made sure that we are never flashy about it. We live in the same place we’ve lived for about 15 years, don’t have flashy clothes and cars, and generally make sure we’re spending money on experiences rather than objects.

Cue my younger sister, who is totally spoilt and for some reason feels extremely entitled to “her share” of the wealth. She just turned 21 and I think part of it is her finally getting information about her trust and in general how we stand. I’m 25, and the older one, so I sorta known about all this for a while now.

Anyway, long story short, my sister ended up going car shopping with my GF for expensive new cars (Porsches!). My dad had not approved anything so I don’t know what she’s going to do but apparently, she flashed my dad’s credit card and talked up to the salesmen about how much money she had to spend. My GF was shocked that me driving a simple unassuming 10-year-old Toyota will have a sister throwing 150k at a 2nd hand car!

We had a huge discussion and ended up fighting about it – she was shocked at roughly how much money we had and told me I was a tad selfish for not mentioning it when she had uni debt. Honestly, we’ve only been dating for 2 years and I was thinking after about a year I would propose if things are going well and start this discussion. It’s all happened a little too soon.

I’m really mad at my sister and kinda laid it out on her. Told her how immature and selfish she was and how she is undoing everything our parents worked hard for to instil values in us.

She told me I had to grow up and I’m a wet blanket.

My 20-year-old daughter has a troubled relationship with her boyfriend who is one year older.

They’ve been dating since the age of 16 and break up constantly. She is moody and proud, always picks fights over small things and has a hard time apologizing. I was widowed last year and she has been living with me ever since. She’s not a good girlfriend, but she’s a great daughter.

Last year I noticed that she uses a really stupid tactic to attract him. She keeps some important things from him and when she wants to get back together, she tells him to get them. They talk, go to the bedroom and are together again. The funniest thing is that she always keeps important things hostage: school books, documents, work materials… This time it was a PlayStation 5.

I just don’t understand all this drama. They have broke up once more and I saw his console in a box. She wasn’t home, so I decided to send the box through a delivery app and text him to let him know. He thanked me a lot. When she arrived, she noticed that the box was no longer at our house. I said what I had done and now she is mad at me.

She says I’m being an “extra” for having delivered an object that wasn’t mine. In my defence, I said the console wasn’t hers either.

She calls me a busybody and I’m feeling guilty, but I believe she needs to stop acting so immature.

Did I do wrong?

Here are what netizens think:

Get your daughter some help and tell her you won’t tolerate this kind of behaviour in your house.

If she’s been doing this for years then the boyfriend is probably used to it, yet strangely doesn’t pack all his stuff up when he leaves.

This is a typical Stockholm syndrome, ur daughter might be a psychopath.

My boyfriend worships me. Is this okay?

I (19F) was my boyfriend’s (19M) closest friend during the darkest time of his life and i guess that made him view me as some kind of savior.

We’ve been dating for a year now. He will do literally anything for me. It’s a little scary, but i love him and will never leave him. I’m just wondering if this is good for the both of us on the long term.

Your comments would be very much appreciated.

My boyfriend and i were best friends. We met as classmates in secondary school. He was being targeted by the other kids and i was the only one protecting him since i was one of the ‘popular girls’ back then.

He lost his mom in a car accident back then and I still remember the look on his face, he was suffering a lot especially due to his soft personality.

I was the only one who comforted him when he was grieving over his mom’s death. His father and brother aren’t close to him or each other, so i was the only one for him.

I understand why he loves me so much, to this extent now that we’re dating, but i guess those years of isolation made him think that he doesn’t need anyone but me.

He said to me one night that if i ever tell him to drink poison he would do it, all while staring into my eyes lovingly.

I tried suggesting therapy, but he said he doesn’t need it while looking at me directly through his eyes. Honestly, it’s a little scary.

Even though i know he would never dare to hurt me, i don’t want him to hurt others for me either. Is this okay? What should i do?

Thanks in advance.

Right so a few months ago this new guy started at my work, I’ve thought he’s attractive from the get-go but due to working in different departments we’ve not chatted much. I found out a few weeks ago he’s quitting, he took a week off – in this time I looked to find him on Instagram but was unsuccessful.

So when he returned last week to work out his notice I decided I’ll try and get to know him in free time at work before he leaves. We’ve had a few conversations and a couple of moments within those chats where I felt we were a bit flirty, although he doesn’t give too much away and is quite relaxed, I’m an open and flirty person also very hyper active. I went to speak with him yesterday for a while before I left to go home and had planned to try and get a way to speak with him out of work but I spontaneously up and bounded out before I plucked the nerves to ask him.

Now any normal person would think ‘silly me, I’ll try again next time I see them’ – but not me. So after a lengthy conversation with a sensible friend while also scrolling through my phone to find him on the internet, I discovered he has a LinkedIn profile. My good friend told me it would be insane to message him on there considering I don’t even have an account, I agreed and closed the page.

A few hours later, five beer and a large glass of wine down it seemed like the right thing to do and I found myself creating an account and sent him a connection request. I was notified he had seen it but did not accept until almost an hour later my phone pinged to say he had connected with my account, I couldn’t believe it so I’m the midst of my weirdness and feeling I’d already gone this far, I made it worse by messaging him

‘Hi, I enjoy speaking with you and I have had some beer hence why I’m messaging you on LinkedIn’

He read it shortly after and has still not replied.

I won’t see him now for almost a week for the way our shifts line up and I am already embarrassed for when I do see him. Thank god he’s leaving.

I feel like a stalker.

I like to pretend to be a boy

It’s pretty weird but I like to pretend I’m a boy sometimes (I’m a girl). I’m not referring to trans people as they aren’t pretending.

But like sometimes I’ll randomly be all ‘how cool would it be I was a dude’ or try to dress in a way that’s more masculine just for the heck of it.

I honestly pretend I’m alot of things, cat, princess, elf, prince whatever I’m in the mood for.

I’ve never told anyone (I’m 16 and so too old to play pretend) but Idk just wanted to tell someone

Netizens’ comments

• You’ll be playing pretend more often in your life then you realize, you have to do it as an adult all the time.

• Consider getting into drag spaces! There aren’t only drag queens but also drag kings too. You don’t have to be Trans to participate in those spaces and if it’s a type of self expression you like then you can have a lot of fun with like minded people!

• tbh i used to that and turned out trans lmao

• Do whatever you want and enjoy being yourself 👍

• “Too old to play pretend” pffft. Have you seen cosplayers? You’re never too old!

A netizen shared how he is starting to resent his wife and that they barely interact with each other at all.

here is the story

I’m really starting to resent my wife

Our relationship has been stale. We have 4 kids and we are a great team with them, doing fun things together, working together to solve life’s little problems that pop up, being there, showing how to be mutually respectful to one another etc.

Then they go to bed. And my wife and I may as well be roommates. We barely speak, we usually just watch one of our shows and then I go to bed.

We barely interact at all unless it’s a kid thing or if she is complaining about something totally unrelated to our household.

I’ve tried bringing it up, but anymore I honestly don’t even want her attention anymore. We are just stuck in this rut that we can’t steer out of.

We have zero mutual interests anymore outside of our kids. I am just so unhappy.

She tells me that I need medication because “I’m grumpy” but it’s really because of how unfulfilled I feel in our relationship.

I just don’t know what to do
