For some context, my 84 y.o grandfather is from my father’s side so my mother isn’t biologically related to him.

My father passed away several years ago, and my grandmother (grandfather’s wife) also passed away about 2 years ago. My mom and I have never really been close to my grandfather but since my dad’s and grandma’s passing we’ve tried to reach out more and provide more support since he’s really struggling and grief-stricken on his own.

My mom has this routine of dropping off this specific brand of bread to my grandpa’s place whenever he’s low on bread even though he goes grocery shopping with my uncle every Sunday and can easily get the bread himself.

My mom has also been acting very visibly uncomfortable when my grandfather greets us all with hugs which I never understood. She just recently revealed to me that she’s been acting uncomfortable because when she goes to drop off bread and asks my grandpa if he needs anything else, he has said multiple times that he “does need something more but she never gives it to him”, and also makes a lot of comments about how young she looks.

So she suspects he only wants her to drop off bread so he has the chance to see her alone.

He also has winked at her after making these types of comments, and she said he’s even slapped her butt before. He’s never done or said anything inappropriate to me but after learning this it’s changed my perception of my grandfather completely and I kind of want nothing to do with him anymore, or to at least confront him about it, because he has kept questioning me about why my mom acts so distant and uncomfortable around him.

My mom won’t go to visit him by herself anymore and will sometimes get me and my brother to drop off the bread. I don’t really know what to do or believe since it’s very hard to envision my grandfather in this way, especially since he’s still in so much pain from losing my grandma, but my mom would never lie about something like this.

We plan to have dinner with him on his birthday since no one else is visiting him but I don’t know if I’ll be able to face him. Should I bring this up with him? Question him? Tell other family members about it? Cut off all contact with him?

Back in 2010-2011 I met an old man who used to be an army regular, of whom I became very good friends with. His wife passed away in 2012 and he didn’t have much of anyone left as he outlived his whole family. My mother often made dinners for him and we became very close as we spent a lot of time together. He was like the father I didn’t have and I respected and loved him as if he was my father.

Fast forward to May of 2021. He had a fall at the nursing home that he was at and broke his hip and a couple of ribs. He later fell again at the nursing home and broke his clavicle and three more ribs just a few weeks after his first fall. Sadly, that was the beginning of the end. He stopped eating and drinking and died in Mid July. He always had a fascination of ghosts and told us a particular ghost story that took place in the 1950’s.

I remember I asked him to visit me if he could and he said he would try. The last time I saw him, he said I love you and passed away shortly after. I was thankful I was there, but I think he held on just long enough for me to leave so I wouldn’t have to see him pass away he died 5 min after I left.

Now, back to the 1950’s ghost story. He used to live in a house that he thought was haunted. If they had guests over, the guests often felt a presence or had a lingering feeling that something wasn’t right. They would sometimes see shadows and hear things too. But the ghost that haunted their house seemed to be very friendly. My friend always treated the ghost like a member of their family so that may be why the ghost was friendly.

One day, in 1958, he went upstairs to go check something in the guest room and opened the door. He got hit with a cold blast of air and all of the curtains were completely horizontal toward the ceiling. He called his wife over who always saw it. The curtains remained that way for about 5 min before they slowly rested on their own.

After he passed, I would have dreams about him occasionally. Nice dreams too and left me feeling calm and at peace. We would sometimes hear footsteps and doors close in our house but didn’t pay much attention to it. One day, I heard a crash in the master bedroom and the curtains had fallen off of the wall somehow. I put them back up but could not figure out how they could have come off the wall.

The scariest one was around 3am in the morning, mid-October. My wife and I were sleeping and she heard a man talking. She couldn’t quite make it out but it sounded like he was telling a story of some sort (something he always liked to do ). My wife thought it was me talking and turned around to see what I wanted. She realized I was asleep and saw a shadow man standing next to the window right beside me with a triangular-shaped hat and completely opaque. It even blocked out the light from the side of the window. She got scared and screamed and turned on the light. The figure was still there but disappeared about 15 seconds later. I woke up and she said I stared right at it but I didn’t see anything.

Could this have just been sleep paralysis ? She was able to move and talk but I couldn’t see the figure. She’s always been a little “sensitive” to some degree.

I’m married with 3 kids and all the normal stress that comes with work, bills and having a low income. It’s been months since my wife and I last got intimate.

Between the kids, work and general stress neither of us have really had the time or urge.

But…

On Saturday my Mum is having the kids for the night. We’ve booked a hotel in the centre of town so we can go out for a meal and drinks then head back to the hotel.

We’re both so excited to have some actual adult time. We’ve both been super eager since we’ve booked and it’s like we’re both just trying to keep a lid on it until we can just go wild on Saturday.

She has no idea that I’ve gone and ordered some viagra and a little toy, and I’m going to bang her brains out all night.

As God is my witness I will give her the best night she’s ever had! I love my wife so much and she’s smoking hot and I WILL BANG HER BRAINS OUT!

That is all

Netizens’ comments

• Bro, you should be writing cards for Hallmark.

• Damn, that was a beautiful poem homie.

A netizen shared how she refused to let her boyfriend’s sisters and her friend sleep at her home because of her bad track record and it was late at night.

Here is the story:

Woke up to a call at 1am last night from my BF’s sister. I missed the call because I was super groggy and didn’t pick up in time.

She calls my BF, and asks if her and her friend can sleep at our place.

I told my boyfriend that I didn’t want them to come, it’s 1 am. We both have to be up at 5 am for work. We have two active puppies that get excited for company.

In the past when my BF’s sister has sleptover, the dogs barked all night. It’s not a good fit in my opinion for us to have company at the moment, just until we can set up a bedroom, or the puppies grow old enough to be calm.

On another note, I don’t trust the friend that would be crashing as well. She steals and she just is a impulsive person that really just thinks about herself.

I’ve been on a family vacation with her and she has zero respect for anyone else.

One night she was up at way past 3 am blasting music, and didn’t turn it down even though I asked her politely. I also wouldn’t feel comfortable with her being in my house, unattended, after my BF and I leave for work.

So, my BF told her no, and they ended the call.

He was really upset with me, and made the choice to call her back and say she could stay over. In that amount of time, she found a place to stay.

This morning he woke up and was upset with me. I explained all my reasons for not wanting them to stay over. I know I should be kind and help people, and if it was an emergency, without a doubt I would help.

But it was an impulsive thing and they have plenty of family and friends that she could ask for help.

I’ve known for over a month that she’s been cheating on me. For how long I’m still not sure. The fact that she goes about our everyday life like nothing is going on makes me want to scream sometimes.

Seeing her smile on her phone pretending her sister sent her something and knowing she’s talking to him.

I’ve felt this twist in my gut ever since and started wondering if it’s possible I’m not my son’s biological father. And I couldn’t take it anymore.

He’s not mine. She doesn’t know I got a paternity test done. My wife doesn’t know I know she lied about who his father is.

And have had to live with this knowledge for almost a week. While still going through the motions of caring for a 6-month-old baby.

It hurts so bad. Literally takes everything I have not to cry at any moment because she still doesn’t know yet.

I can’t stay with someone who would hurt me this deeply. 5 years down the drain like that. Every night like tonight I just want to pack my stuff and leave her before she wakes up. Then never see her again.

I’m torn though because the second I look at his crib my heart doesn’t want to leave him. He’s not my biological son yeah but I still love him so much. No matter how hard I’m trying it won’t turn off.

The idea of never seeing him again makes my heart feel way too heavy and gives me such anxiety. It’s like tearing my heart out, I can’t do it.

It’s midnight and he’s currently dozing in my arms because the only time I’m given any kind of peace is when I’m holding him.

He didn’t ask for this mess either so we have that in common. I just don’t know what to do now

A netizen shared about how his best friend recent started dating a girl and now their (the two bestfriends) conversations are running dry.

Here is the story:

I’m finding it hard to accept that me and my bestfriend’s conversations are starting to go dry.
He started dating this girl.

Don’t get me wrong, I am so happy for him because he’s been through a really bad break up, I’ve never seen him smile from ear to ear like that in a long time.

I met the girl recently when they visited earlier to introduce her to me, she’s really nice and caring for him which is what he really deserves compared to the toxic bitch before.

Only thing bothering me recently is we haven’t really spoken or chatted each other that frequently anymore.

Like I get it he needs to spend time with her to show his commitment to their relationship and I am 100% aware of that, it’s just deep down I can’t help but feel alone.

After me and my then girlfriend of 5 years broke up because she cheated, “because I want someone better” is what she said, left me a fear of being not good enough that hit me hard

My bestfriend has been there for me ever since, supporting me and always putting me in a good mood helping me forget about my ex, but I never ever forgot about how I felt back then

All i can do now is be happy for him, support him, and be by his side anytime
