My bf and I have been dating for over a year and in that time he’s never owned a car. I have one and he basically has been using my car for things like groceries, seeing friends, going hiking, appointments etc. He does split petrol with me but I pay for insurance, maintenance etc. He probably uses the car as much as me at least 3-4 days a week but he refuses to get his own. I had many discussions about him getting his own car but he made it clear he thought cars were wastes of money and he didn’t want to pay for one.

I lived pretty close to him and he wanted me to continue living in my apartment nearby so he could have access to my car. That’s not what he said but that’s the impression I got. I moved to a cheaper apartment 10 min away by car which is 45 min by public transport. I did it partly for the cheaper rent but partly to stop him from using my car.

He was pissed because now he can’t use my car and asked me to give him my car from fri-Sun so he could continue to use it. I said no and he said I need to drive to visit him every time because it took too long by bus and I had a car so I can visit him easier. I told him I would only visit him once he made the effort to visit me once because I felt he would get use to me giving in to whatever he wanted (like letting him use my car).

After 4 month of this he got frustrated enough to buy his own car but he complains it’s a waste of money. Btw he is not poor he’s actually an account that makes good money he just hates spending any of it. He called me the asshole for not driving to visit him and forcing him to buy a car because the bus takes too long.

Here are what netizens think:

• Move away from the relationship

• Your car matters more to him than you do

• Yeah it feel like he mainly use her for a car. They need more communication but why should she pay for a car he use 50% of the time because he doesn’t want to buy one because he is so stingy with his money. And he still bring it up it didn’t make him realize how much he relied on her car.

A woman shared how her husband wants to leave her because she had a miscarriage, and her mother-in-law told her that she’s disgusted that she had another miscarriage.

Here is the story

I had a miscarriage yesterday. My husband told his mum know he’s got divorce papers and wants me to sign ASAP.

His mother told me she’s “disgusted I had another miscarriage” and that “I can’t perform simple wifey duties like producing children for my husband”

and now he’s demanding everything but the car (that’s mine), he already has a new woman signed up who “can have children” and I’m lost.

I don’t care anymore and just wanna get drunk. What do I do.??? I’m lost.

Netizens’ comments

• Can you reconnect with old friends? Any family near by that you trust? I wish you all the best. Remember that this is not your fault. You didn’t do this! This is a CRAPPY thing that is happening to you. Stay strong

• Not being able to have children with this man is a gift, even though it doesn’t feel like one right now. The next bit of your life is going to be rough, but once you’re through it, your whole world is going to open up to a rainbow-filled vista. Stay away from alcohol during the hard part so you can enjoy the beauty.

• Your MIL and husband are awful. That’s not how miscarriages work, not in the slightest. They are not your fault, they just happen, and are a lot more common than people think because they are kept hush hush.
  Isolating you from friends and family, making you think this is your fault, calling it wifely duties… If you believe in any kind of greater power, or the phrase everything happens for a reason, I think this reason now is for you to leave and find a happier life.

I work at the cash register at a busy ice cream shop. A lot of people lose their stuff and my responsibility is to take it and give it to my team manager to turn it into the Lost and Found.

However, I suspected one of the team leads was stealing the stuff. The first time, someone left behind expensive sunglasses and I saw her wearing them in an Instagram post. I gave her the benefit of the doubt and gave her a wallet someone left behind. The person came back asking me and I told them not to worry and to go to the lost and found.

They came back and told me they had her wallet but all their money was missing. At this point, I knew my team manager was stealing and whenever someone left something behind and that team manager was working, I would get a colleague to cover and I would find them and return it myself. My team manager confronted me and I told her that I just wanted people to get their stuff back and she looked annoyed.

Later I got called up by a higher-up who said that I was in pretty big trouble because my team manager accused me of leaving my shop multiple times and disobeying her orders.

I told him my side of the story and he told me he would look into it and she got fired and I think it became a police case against her 2 weeks later. She’s calling me AH for making her lose her job, when she has 2 kids and is a single mother.

I knew about her situation beforehand which is why I didnt say anything beforehand. So was i wrong to tell the truth?

Here are what netizens think:

• If she didn’t want to lose her job, she shouldn’t have stolen. simple as that

• She is a single mother with 2 kids and should therefore know better. She’s a grown adult with kids and if she really needed to keep her job she should have never stolen anything. Don’t feel bad people like her don’t feel remorse for what they do and will most likely do it again. She’s blaming you for her actions. 

A man shared how he talks in his sleep, and his girlfriend then interrogated him while he was asleep, to which he answered all her questions, while sleeping.

Here is the story

GF interrogated me in my sleep

I’ve always had this weird sleep disorder that makes me talk a lot in my sleep. sleep talking is relatively common and its not a huge issue.

the problem is if someone asks me a simple yes/no question while I’m sleep talking, I will give them a completely honest answer, and wake up with a vague recollection of it the next morning (longer answers turn into gibberish or make me wake up)

I’ve seen doctors about it and they were totally confused and told me they couldn’t help me. this has always caused problems for me with relatives, sisters, parents etc taking advantage of it.

well my GF recently moved in with me and took advantage of it. she barraged with all sorts of questions… asked me if I have STDs, if I smoke, if I’ve ever gotten someone pregnant and made them get an abortion, if I’m seeing someone else, if I’ve ever paid for intercourse (lol)

looks like I gave her all the right answers because she’s still with me. she doesn’t seem to realize I remember what happened.

I think this is a huge breach of trust but breaking up over a sleep disorder sounds stupid, not to mention she could just deny everything.

Btw she has already asked me some of those questions before, I guess she wanted to make sure I wasn’t lying. what would you do?

yes I’m aware this sounds ridiculous

My wife bought herself this awesome hairdryer from Dys*n last month, and she paid over $400 for it. This is easily the coolest hair dryer I’ve ever seen. It’s silver/purple and has this really cool design. Reminds me of the Plasma Rifle from Halo. Super quiet as well! You can dry your hair in stealth mode.

I was so impressed by this dryer that I asked my wife if I could use it too. She said I could use whenever I wanted, and it was good that I use it to better get our money’s worth.

I started using it every morning after my shower to dry my hair instead of just towel and air drying like I used to. I have short hair, so it only took like a minute to dry. Still felt like I wasn’t getting much use out of it, so I started experimenting. I tried drying my armpits (makes applying deodorant much nicer), and I started drying down below. Side note: 100% do recommend. Without going into much detail, it just feels a lot more hygenic throughout the day.

This morning, my wife walked into the bathroom after my shower, and saw something perhaps she wasn’t meant to see. For the record, I did not intend for her to come in, but I didn’t have the door locked. I had one foot on the floor, one foot on the counter. Hairdryer in hand pointed towards Venus and Earth. I may have also been humming the Halo theme.

My wife had a bit of a freakout and was like “What are you doing?!” I stopped and reminded her that she said I could use the dryer whenever I wanted. She countered by saying that she didn’t say I could use it “that” way.

So I’m not sure if my wife has a point here. I definitely did not explicitly state how I was going to use the dryer, but there was no conversation of limitations before hand. I wrong meh?

Here are what netizens think:

I’ve been in gym changing rooms on four continents where I’ve seen an old man (almost always old enough to not care about such things) drying his sack, dingdong and bollock hair with the complimentary hairdryer. So you’re definitely not alone!

Sorry, but my head canon insists this is the same dude with clever disguises who follows you everywhere just waiting for you to enter a locker room.

I’m a lady who uses her fancy hair dryer on her nether regions – your wife needs to try it!

A woman shared how her husband ltierally screams when he’s puking, reasoning that it helps him feel better.

Here is the story

My husband screams while puking.

It’s horrible, but I get enraged when my husband is sick because of the way he pukes. He SCREAMS and gargles, I don’t mean normal noises i’m talking full on all out screaming, it’s legitimately unnecessary.

I’ve talked to him about it and all he can say is “it helps”.

It does not help at 3:30 am when he’s had too much to drink and I’m woken up to the sounds of a grown man emptying his entireties into my toilet.

I’ve never heard any other human being make as much noise when they’re sick, sos man. SOS

My husband doesn’t have a drinking problem, we rarely drink and he rarely actually gets sick FROM drinking but when he does it definitely is a phenomenon to behold.

I vented on a venting page this morning because I was annoyed after being woken up to these crazy sounds at 4 am and then listening to it for a few hours.

I came to see that many other people have this problem and we’ve laughed about it together, so thank you 🙂

Netizens’ comments

My husband sounds like a velociraptor when he pukes. I don’t even know how he manages to turn a stomach bug into a scene from Jurassic Park, but it was very unsettling the first time I heard it! After 16 years I’m used to it and now it just makes me laugh!

He is her boss, and she got promoted at work. So he bought her a Nintendo Switch. He is in his early 30s, she is younger.

I asked if any other colleagues are sharing, he ignored my question. I asked again, then he got annoyed and blurted another name. Obviously lying, or 1, he won’t get annoyed, 2, I don’t have to repeat my question, 3, he would have said right from the start that a colleague and him will be buying the Switch for the girl.

He often treats his team to dinner, buys them snacks and pastries. (Not sure how true is that, or is it just 1 person or the entire team. I usually don’t ask much, until he bought the Switch.)

He always texts his colleagues even late at night every single day. I didn’t check his phone but briefly saw the names when I walk past, and assumed it’s about work stuff. Not sure if it is normal to be THIS close to your colleagues. I usually avoid mine after working hours unless it’s urgent.

At my workplace, we usually just buy lunch or dinner to celebrate the promotion. Told my colleague and she said that he is so nice and generous to his team, nothing to worry about.

Here are what netizens think:

• Out of his own pocket? Unless he’s at some higher level six figure job that’s a major red flag. Hell even if he is the fact he wouldn’t just answer your question is a red flag.

• It really depends on the industry and ofc your salary. In my workplace, gifts to colleagues worth $1000 are uncommon but not unheard of, especially if its middle management or upwards. A director once bought everyone in the office the latest iPhone because his horse won some sort of trophy.

• Yeah my moms an executive and gets Louis Vuitton gifts for Christmas from her employees. I got tickets to my favorite band which was $150. I think a nintendo switch if he’s a higher up isn’t crazy.

A woman’s 6-year-old son asked whether she was a prostitute after learning about the word on TV.

Here is the story

Long story short, my husband, my 6yo son and I were watching TV yesterday evening and suddenly during the dialogue exchange, the word ‘prostitute’ came up, with subtitles. And our son turned to us and asked what is a prostitute. I looked at my husband, expecting him to handle the situation.

Hubby:- it’s a setup to make a man and a woman happy.

Son:- what do you mean…

Hubby:- (looking over to me, visibly uncomfortable). Well, it means when a woman does a favour to a man to make the man happy for money.

Son:- Do mommy does prostitute? (Neither of us were expecting that and I burst out laughing upon hearing this and having no help from me my husband tried to handle the situation desperately)

Hubby:- No no… Not married woman.

Son:- So mommy did prostitute before marrying you?

Hubby:- Noooo…mommy never did prostitution.

Son:- (Now seemed offended and looked me and asked out loud) why didn’t you prostitute?

Before I could say anything my hubby said “mommy won’t do prostitution” and our son still wasn’t convinced and said “yes she prostitute. Mommy got money in purse”.

Seeing this was going out of spiral I asked him if he’d like some icecream and he nodded and I got off the couch and went to the kitchen and the topic was dropped.

However seems like it has become a joke between my husband and I. I whispered in his ear this morning when we were in the bed “so you married a prostitute huh?” And he laughed and was like “don’t start that again”.
