She was my boss. We never did anything though because of our job positions within the company and dating is pretty much a huge no-no for them. I’ve worked for her for over 6 years. Been in love for 2 years. We got to know each other on personal levels. Not gonna lie there were lots of times where we almost wanted to say “f it” but we knew it couldn’t get to that yet. I’ve never connected with anyone the way I have with her.

She’s this strong, compassionate, funny and loving person. Not just with me but with all my other ex-coworkers. Everyone loves her. I just happened to fall in love.

Last week was my last week. Got a job offer somewhere else.

She organized a little goodbye party with everyone else on our lunch break. Soon as the day was over I asked her out to dinner and she said yes without hesitation!!!

It sucks we won’t see each other every day but it was so worth it to finally hold her hand and kiss her. She told me she’s wanted this for a long time, and what can I say, when it’s a really great date you don’t want the time to end. Best night of my life lol. We woke up together, went out for breakfast. And agreed on spending the day tomorrow. I’m just so happy right now.

Have had a huge smile on my face all day, I’m excited for this future.

Here are what netizens think:

Was texting my 17-year-old daughter. She asked me if I wanted anything from the shopping center earlier. She Left school at 1 pm and I said no. She said okay. Two hours later she tells me she’s going back to the store to get slipper.

Why would she suddenly want to rush back just to get slippers when we have a perfect pair there is at home?

I asked why she just didn’t get those earlier and she told me it wasn’t on her mind. I asked her what she went to get earlier then and she told me condoms. (She’s been dating her boyfriend 18M for a year.) Glad she’s being safe. But wow. Very straightforward. Most young adults lie to their parents, I sometimes wish she would do the same to her old man lol

I’m not mad at my daughter. They’re 17 and 18. That’s what late teens do. I was just caught off guard.

Here is what netizens think:

• Honesty between a parent and child is everything. I know it must give op, as well as any good parent anxiety, but it’s really incredible for a child to feel safe enough to be honest. It takes a lot of courage and trust to develop that type of relationship. It will serve you both well. You should be proud of yourself and your daughter, Op. parents everywhere could take a lesson in respect because that’s exactly what love is. You have provided your daughter with a foundation of respect that will carry her through anything. You have gifted her self respect. It’s beautiful.

• Trust me an honest relationship is the best thing to have with a child. I have an honest relationship with my dad and we are very close although I’m nearly 30. I wouldn’t want it any other way.

• Being honest with my parents allowed us to have healthy conversations about alcohol and shit like that. Now at 18, they know what to expect me to do in college, and I will tell them if I’ve been drinking a lot and they’ll give me advice. They know I won’t be really dumb with it because we had those conversations and they shared their own stories.

A woman shared a story online of her ridiculous husband and she is looking at options such as a divorce as she can’t take the dirty habits of her husband anymore.

Here is the story:

My husband is 39 this year, he has developed a weird habit of not flushing the toilet after he does his number 2. He was not like this when he was younger.

I asked if he’s getting senile before the 40s and he said he wants me to see the size and colour of his faeces to see if it’s healthy.

I told him that I am not a doctor and it won’t matter cause I won’t even look at it, the moment I enter I will flush the toilet.

I have warned him that if he continues this dirty habit, I have no choice but to divorce. I don’t want my child to grow up and learn bad habits from him. This has been going on since we started working from home. That means over 2 years.

I really feel like just digging up the sai and throwing it in his face or his laptop to make sure he stops it. What I am only scared of is I will end up cleaning it cause he doesn’t help out at home.

The moment he finished his work he will start sitting on the couch watching TV and drinking beer.

I tried stopping laundry and guess what he did, he went out and buy new clothes then dumps them on the pile.

What should I do?

A woman shared how her son used vulgarities on an old woman who was harassing his brother and she was fine with it.

Here is the story:

“My husband is staying with his mother. Both are in isolation. Thank goodness my kids, and I are fine.

I had to buy some groceries so I took my kids aged 5, 8, 12 with me. (for storytelling purpose I will name them by their age number)

8 is on the spectrum and has trouble in places like grocery stores. I gave him an iPad with cellular and over the ear headphones. He should be good to go. He doesn’t like loud noises or strangers touching him.

While in line, 12 is a lot of help with his brothers, so he’s trying to help me with 5 throwing junk food in the cart.

I decided to go to the cashier’s checkout, and then the line was long.
8 is good. Just chilling watching his cartoons with his headphones. Until this old lady behind us is Upset over something. I’m ignoring her, but 12 grabs me and says I think we have an issue.
The lady starts going on about kids today and technology. She is trying to get 8 attention. I don’t want to startle him, so 12 moves between them. But 5 is looking at more cookies.

The old woman told me my kids were rude, ignoring her.
She taps on my 8 year old, and I pull him aside. He looks up from his iPad and takes his headphones off to see if something is wrong. I’m trying to get his headphones back on, and the old woman says these types of things are for at home only, and I need to teach my kids to interact in public.

She tells 8 he’s old enough to know better than to act like this, Scolding him. Loudly publicly and in the middle of the store.

8 starts to cry, the first sign of a meltdown with him.
12 turns to the old woman and says, “you s—-d b—- he’s autistic.” While I usually would tell 12 off because I have more issues to deal with. The old lady wants to talk to security and starts making a scene about my kids screaming they called her a bitch.

I finally leave a full trolley of food there and leave, security tried to stop me, saying I had to get 8 to the car. He has autism, and he’s going to have a major meltdown. 12 talks to security and tells him about the old lady in line.”

A netizen shared about how she hates having intercourse with her boyfriend but that she has to pretend to like it.

Here is the story:

I love my boyfriend but our intercourse is awful and I pretend it’s great.

I love him in every way, except when we sleep together. It gets painful sometimes, and I hate doing it from the back (he loves it).

I tried to tell him once but he smiled at me genuinely and said

“I know you’re lying, you’re just upset with me at the moment “.

I was upset with him about something unrelated to it and this was when I chose to to tell him, about the awful experience.

I haven’t mentioned it since.

Netizens comments

To be fair, if a woman was told she is horrible at intercourse and dry as the desert, she would be insecure about it too.

The reality is, men do say this to women whether true or not. Usually because their private parts are small and they aren’t good

The partner is everything though. I like sleeping with my partner, I thought I’d be a little less addicted to it the older I get, but nope.

I have almost a bottomless pit of patience though. Nearly a year I went without it. with my ex, but conversations around it came out negatively.

Had a similar convo with my wife the other night and it was a beautiful and constructive conversation.

My sister is severely autistic. She requires attention almost 24/7 and cannot be left alone. She is non-verbal and cannot take care of herself at all. Despite the fact that she is only 12 she is extremely destructive and violent and destroys anything she gets her hands on.

I hate her. That should be wrong to say but it doesn’t feel like it.

I was only 6 years old when she was born and since then i’ve never solely had my parents attention. Even since I can remember the world has revolved around her. I was moved out of my room into the basement at 7 because she needed to be in the room next to my parents. All of my toys as a child were destroyed by her and my parents simply ignored me when I complained. Even when I was 14 and she destroyed a mac my school gave me I was in the wrong.

Along with this I am expected to take care of her and drop everything I do for her. I can never make plans with friend because my parents “expect” me to be there if they need me to take care of her. Even when I do somehow get time to myself I am required to leave if they need me. If i do not then I am punished. The recent example of this is when I went to see a movie, and was “scolded” because i turned my phone off in the theater.

It seems as if I am nothing more than a slave to them and anything involving her simply overshadows me. This last week I was chosen to give a speech at a school event. I was so excited and my parents promised to be there, but they never showed and claimed it was because of my sister. Anytime anything like this happens for me they are to busy with her.

I’ve held this in for so long and it finally spilled out today. While talking about future schools with my father, he joked that I should get a degree that pays well so when their gone I can take care of my sister. I don’t know why but this caused me to break down. I cried and screamed about how it always about her. I’m nothing more than a caretaker to them, that they always make it about her and that I’m expected to be her “slave” for the rest of my life.

I’ve locked myself in my room since then and my parents have not come to check on me. Am i the asshole here?

So I divorced a year and a half ago and haven’t really dated much since. We were together 10 years, so it has been a while. Maybe I just don’t get dating culture these days or I am just so completely out of it and can’t read things properly, but maybe the people of the internet can tell me what’s up.

I went on what I call a date 0 with a girl I met online. We met at a coffee shop and chatted a little over an hour. I mentioned not having eaten as it was around dinner time and she suggested we get dinner. We had dinner, she didn’t let me pay and we split the bill which is fine. Like at the coffee shop I think the conversation went well, we laughed, had a good time, etc. After leaving, she suggests getting dessert and sneakily ends up adding mine to her order.

The date wraps up at around the 3.5 hour mark. Then the “there’s your car, bye” and she just leaves. She texts me first that evening, apologizing for being late, thanking me for seeing her, said she had a good time, hoped I got home safe. I replied I had a good time and would like to do it again and left it at that. The next day I got the “I only ever see us as friends” text.

Now I do not regret the date. I had fun and I even got a free dessert out of it. I am just confused on why someone would extend the date twice if they were not really feeling it.

Here are what netizens think:

• Maybe she was feeling it at first part of the day and not the second part…Don’t look too much into it.-

• Multiple reasons. You’re having fun, but not romantically interested. Something happened in the later part of date that was a turn off. Want to take some extra time to see if there’s some chemistry that you’re not feeling initially.

• She didn’t instantly know if she was interested or not.
