My wife left me two days before our wedding and kicked me out.
So my wife and I have been together for 9 years,and engaged just one of those years and our wedding is was to be held two days from now on Saturday.
but I woke up this morning to her irate and yelling,I asked her what’s wrong and she just told me to get out. I told her I’m not leaving until I know what’s wrong.
She told me she’s pregnant and that it’s not mine.
She told me to pack up and leave as the house is hers (Everything is in her name.)
So as I’m sitting here with a suitcase full of clothes and nowhere to go, crying and wondering who knocked up my now ex-fiance, I have nowhere to go and I’m broken.
Dude, this whole situation is messed up, and I am sorry to hear you are in it, but in the long run, you’ve dodged a pretty major bullet. Take a deep breath, find a hotel or short-term rental that you can get into tonight, and go have as relaxing a night as possible. The next few days are going to be chaos. If you don’t have anything else at the house that’s yours, or that you want, then write the whole thing off and move on as best you can. It happens, but at least you aren’t going to be shackled to a cheating wife, and financially responsible for a child who is not yours.
Go to the wedding guests “you were going to have” tell them what’s happening I’m sure a few of those will help you for a little while
My friend Danny recently found out he might be a father. I say might because the girl he’s been having an off/on relationship with, Kara, is pregnant, and he’s not sure if he’s the dad.
She offered to get a paternity test once the baby is born and doesn’t expect any kind of support until they find out if the baby is his. He’s on board with that and appreciates that she’s not pushing him into fatherhood if the baby isn’t his. The issue is that when he was talking to me about it, he also said he wants to get a “maternity” test done to make sure the baby is hers.
Kara is visibly pregnant. We know she’s pregnant because she did a maternity photoshoot and posted it on social media, so it’s obvious she’s not faking being pregnant. We’ve both seen her in person, too and she’s most definitely pregnant. However, Dan believes that the baby might not be hers. I tried to explain to him that that’s not how biology works and unless she got an embryo implanted in her then she’s definitely the mother.
She’s a waitress and works for minimum wage + tips so I doubt she has the money to afford an embryo implantation. Plus it’s ridiculous to think that she’d do all that just to baby trap a guy who is unemployed and living with his parents at 32.
Plus he’s never donated sperm. He’s genuinely convinced that the baby might not biologically be hers despite not only me, his mom, and our other friends explaining that that’s not how babies/pregnancy works.
He’s still insisting on a “maternity” test and told me that I was being ridiculous and that I’m the one who doesn’t understand biology despite me studying to be an autopsy pathologist which has required quite literally years of biology classes.
I got fed up and called him a senseless idiot and told him to call me when he got his head screwed back on straight. Ever since then he’s been spamming my phone and has gotten a couple of our friends to spam me as well, telling me I’m being insensitive and he’s just stressed about possibly being a dad. So, was it wrong for calling my friend an idiot?
A woman shared how she is struggling with her husband’s relationship with their teenage daughter who dresses very revealingly around the house.
Here is the story
My husband’s relationship with our teen daughter is making me struggle My husband and I have a strong marriage, but lately, he’s been struggling with his relationship with our daughter, and I’m not sure the best way to support him.
Our daughter is 16 and in many ways is a young woman. She’s quite pretty and is physically quite mature, and the attention she gets really makes my husband struggle. He’s not a caveman, but I believe he’s being overly protective.
He expresses concerns to me – but never to her, thankfully – about what she wears. I thought he was going to meltdown about her bikini last summer. And she tends to wear very little around the home sometimes, and I can see how he’s having issues adjusting.
I know this is an age-old problem, so input is welcome.
Netizens’ comments
I don’t have a daughter but my close friends do and she’s right at the age/development yours is and the advice they gave me stuck. Just let them grow. They raised her to know what’s appropriate to wear at different places (church, funerals, school, etc) and they had to let go and put trust in the fact that they raised her well, she has firm, strong boundaries, and she will try fashion styles and find what she likes. She can do that in the safety of her home, instead of sneaking around. It stuck very much with me. I know it’s hard.
I’m glad your husband has the decency to keep his thoughts between the 2 of you and not make your daughter feel ashamed for having a body. I get the urge to protect from parents, but this is just something he’s going to have to live with. Telling her to cover up will go 1 of 2 ways: make her hyper aware of her body which can lead to poor body image (which is obviously no good) or to her rebelling by wearing MORE revealing clothing. Either way, your husband likely wouldn’t be happy with the result. All you can do is remind him that she’s a safe and happy child and that he’s doing the best he can to support her how SHE wants to be supported
A woman shared how she is 31-years-old and a virgin, and that she had never been in a relationship before, and she wants to hire a male escort to lose her viginity.
Here is the story
I’m (31F) a virgin who’s never been in a relationship. I’ve heard that losing my virginity isn’t the be-all and end-all, but I want to experience it for myself.
The problem is, I’m an introvert who doesn’t date to interact with people and it is a huge problem. I also don’t want to hook-up with a random guy from dating apps, and I haven’t bothered to befriend other men living around me.
So my only solution is to hire an escort to take my virginity.
Netizens’ comments
One thing i will say is that you don’t want to regret what you do either , really spend your time thinking it over. I know everyone works their lively stages at a different pace,
but just try to weigh out your options even in turns as to trying to know the language to an extent and even try getting someone you find of interest to even teach you more of it and maybe things can play on more after
Can I just say that as an impatient man who went and did the same thing, intimacy is really not that special and hiring someone to do it with you is the number one way to remind you of that fact. From my experience, afterwards you can feel shameful, you can feel inadequate and worst of all, you can feel so much lonelier than you did before (I know that’s hard to believe but its true).
I know some people who did it and thought differently about the whole thing, but I’m giving you the warning that I wish I was given. Losing your virginity can be something special and I just don’t know why would you want to share a moment so special with a pretty looking stranger? It’s honestly a very hollow and sobering experience that I wouldn’t wish on anyone.
My sister brought her new boyfriend over to our parents house to meet him for the first time, My wife and I came as well.
We met the dude, he seemed ok-ish at first but he then started asking weird and personal questions. My wife had a breast cancer and got a single mastectomy last year. She told the story to my sister’s boyfriend and he was like “oh” then he stared at my wife briefly then “playfully” said “without even asking, I can pretty much tell which one got the blow”.
We were floored, My wife could barely keep a straight face. she lied so she could leave the table cause she was literally about to tear up. I just looked at the dude and said “Are you serious?” he said “What??!! I was just joking bro” I started asking him to explain the joke to me, He just stared. I asked him again to explain it to me in details but still got no answer. ‘
My sister asked me to stop because clearly he got uncomfortable, but I insisted he explain the joke to me cause clearly….my wife and I didn’t get it. Things got awkward with him avoiding eye contact while I just stared at him the entire time. I still insisted and asked him to explain the joke right there and then, but seconds later he said he needed to step outside to make a phone call. turns out he got in his car and left. My sister had a meltdown screaming and berating me for how I treated her boyfriend. Calling me hostile with anger issues to scare her boyfriend out of our parents house. I told her he was overstepping and made my wife uncomfortable to the point of crying, She actually called me wife “such a princess” and said she is soft and can not take some teasing.
I had an argument with her and my parents intervened, I took my wife and left.
My dad called me later and said that he understood how hurt my wife felt but my sister’s boyfriend was visiting for the first time and I showed hostility and aggression instead of just ignoring him.
He encouraged me to reach out to him and my sister later and talk it out but I declined.
A Ukrainian schoolteacher shared his experience of the Russian invasion, detailing how it was still okay in the morning and as the day went on, things started to turn awry.
Here is his live update
I just heard the explosions, I am in Kyiv. I don’t feel scared yet but I am shaking to be fair.
7.25 am: I had my emergency bag packed, but didn’t put my photo albums there. Now I did and I feel like crap. I am crying, I am a mess I am a teacher though and we still have our lessons online, so I have to put myself together and be a teacher for kids who will come to the first class in 30 min. At least two will.
Thank you for every comment, I treat this thing as a public diary at this point because it helps me to stay focused. So it makes me feel better just to be heard.
11.45 am: so in Kyiv it’s ok right now. We have water, electricity, there are no sirens. People are evacuating, there is a lot of traffic, but it’s fine. If it interests you, I had anywhere 10-50 % of my classes present online (it’s 5th period). It’s not the case for every city though. Cities closer to the border are getting attacked. I am not the beat updater right now because I can’t watch the live news, so I am telling what I can see
1:45 pm: they broke through the border in Kyiv region
2.55 pm: no one showed up for the last class, so I can finally monitor the news
4.30 pm: so Ukraine was hit by 4 ballistic rockets around an hour ago. At this point, they say it’s from Belarusian direction. I waited to get at least some clarity, because of how many fakes there are. Governmental portals are continuously being hacked, so it takes a lot of time to confirm things. South of Ukraine is getting hit the most right now. My grandparents don’t respond and they are in the north. I think that’s the lost cellphone connection, but I am still really worried.
5.15 pm: grandparents are ok, they were in the hideout
7.20 pm: they took the Chornobyl’. If they do anything to the covering there will be no protection from radioactive waste.
9.05 pm: right now Kyiv is ok, we have a curfew. We are waiting for the rough night, Russian planes flew out in our direction. I will try to sleep a bit and I’ll update you afterward. If you can, help Ukrainians. Go to support actions for Ukraine in your cities. Check your information really carefully
9.20 pm: they are threatening one of our functioning nuclear plants… not the Chornobyl’. The one that is still working.
9.30 pm: I can’t sleep. Today there were 393 bombings and shootings. 169 are wounded, around 57 Ukrainians are dead. Rest in peace
10.30 pm: For those who want to help with money. Be careful, there are a lot of frauds.
11.55 pm: we’ll spend the night in the hideout to be safer
12.25 am: the hideout we were aiming for is closed right now, unfortunately. So we’re back home.
Netizens’ comments
I’m Russian and I’m really sorry. Putin messed up Russia, and now he is trying to mess up Ukraine. I’m not religious, but God bless Ukrainian people and soldiers. I hope that NATO will finally help Ukraine.
Myself (Ukrainian) and my two young sons are here in Canada, heavy hearted and feeling devastated for all of you.
Only a coward starts a war in the dark.
I cannot believe we are here at this place. Now. In 2022.
May you be kept safe. May you find courage when you need it. May we see you on the other side, dear stranger in the dark somewhere in Kyiv… Regardless of what comes.
Our thoughts are with you <3
I’m so sorry this is happening. I have family in Ukraine. I was born in Ukraine and lived there until I was 7 years old. This is a terrible situation. I hope you are able to stay safe. I’m on the phone with my relatives now…
This time, netters continued to point out errors in labelling. Some of which occurred quite recently!
One netizen stepped up to the weighing scale with a vegetable. The label said that the broccoli weighed 0.274kg, but the machine stated that it weighed 0.146kg. Is it the machine or the label that is incorrect?!
Another netizen paid for some bananas only to discover that they had spent $22.66 for a bunch of four bananas. The bananas weighed 0.44kg and cost $2.40/kg, according to the label.
In the last 28 days, there were 322,669 amount of cases with 99.7% of them with no or mild symptoms, 0.2% required oxygen supplementation, 0.04% is in the ICU, 0.03% died.
A spokesperson from the Kremlin today (24 Feb) said that it has faith that Russians will support the current Ukraine Operation which the country is carrying out.
This is because the majority of Russians support it capital, Moscow’s recognition of rebels in East Ukraine which they then infer that they will also support the operation in Ukraine.
No independent polls have been conducted in Russia on her netizens sentiments about the war with Ukraine.
Did not say how long it will last
The spokesperson also did not say how long the operation will last, citing that it will all depend on how long Russian President, Vladimir Putin, wants it to be and also the ‘results’ of it.
He also said that there are goals that the operation needs to achieve and said that Ukraine needs to be cleared of all Nazis.
He mentioned that the operation is not an occupation.
Operation defied calls from Western leaders
In deciding to go ahead with the operations, Russia has defied repeated calls from Western leaders, who had also threatened the country with sanctions, not to make advancements into Ukraine.
The spokesperson also said that it is impossible for the Western countries to fully isolate Russia and that relations between Russia and some of the countries are already not on good terms.
He added that Russia cannot hide behind ‘iron curtains’.
He ended by saying that with the invasion, Russia will certainly strain relations with some of these countries but even so, relations between Russia and these countries have already been strained long ago.
