I have a close friend who married an alcoholic. It’s been 5 years, they’ve done couples therapy, she’s in weekly therapy, they’ve tried different strategies and nothing seems to stick. Now, he hides beer cans around the house and stays up later than her so she never knows how much he really drinks. When something…

Thanks. I think everyone thought I was nuts when I got pregnant while my husband and I were taking care of my mom but she really is the best thing that ever happened to me. I don’t know how I’d handle this without her to focus on.

I was best man and I knocked a bunch of his brothers teeth out at the hotel when he tried to grab my wife’s ass when we were partying. They’d never met so it wasn’t like something that could remotely be considered a friendly pat on the bum if that’s even a thing. My buddy understood but I was vilified by many in the…

She could be setting you up so that you don’t ask for a raise as part of the promotion.

I checked in with my mom on this, as she’s an alcoholic who’s been sober for close to 40 years now. And she said to tell him you’ve mentioned this to him before, that you realize that he doesn’t think it’s the issue you believe it is, and ask him to go with you to an open Al-Anon meeting. She says for you absolutely…

Yeah, get that promotion and the new title (and hopefully pay?) that comes with it and use it in your job search to get a better job outside that company! Your boss sounds like a psycho.

Uuuh probably a garden wedding where someone brought their 3 month old even though it was no kids allowed and the baby bawled for like 5 solid minutes (thankfully it was a religious service and super long so not during the vows) and the mum’s solution was just to walk up and down directly behind the back row of chairs…

I participated in a big wedding no-no once...but I don’t regret it a bit.

I’ve posted here before about my mother before. She has early onset Alzheimer’s that is progressing rapidly. We decided to put her into an assisted living and found a really nice place that’s only 20 minutes away. She moves in on Tuesday, although she has no idea yet.

In my experience, you can’t make an alcoholic realize they’re an alcoholic. They have to hit on that conclusion on their own. Maybe your leaving him will do that, maybe it won’t. Just my two cents, so ymmv, but do not marry this man if you think he’s an alcoholic and he’s not getting treatment/in recovery. Get out now…

My brother is a sociopath. I’ve realized this in the last few months, and it’s deeply disturbing. He shows no empathy, is callous, and purposely says and does hurtful things.

This came to a head a few months back when he and his girlfriend broke up. Long story short, she found out he had been cheating on her their…

let’s just get one thing straight: i know it’s saturday night but if your baby is having a screaming fit that makes it sound like it’s a dying goat and you leave the window open for the whole street to hear, you are the devil. i do not care that you’re tired. i didn’t sign up to coparent this child and i don’t want…

The rape scene is not in the book. It’s a short story about a man and his young son stuck in a grocery store while the mist overtakes the town and everyone dies trying to figure out what to do. No rape, no jail/mall scenes, no weird insect storyline, no “the mist makes you hallucinate” tripe. It’s just a great,…

Anyone else reached their wit’s end with Trump and his cultists? I feel one tweet away from a nervous breakdown... blech

Not having work is the worst, to be honest, and I know how that goes. I think my priority would be on whatever finds income, because not having that is really, truly the worst.

Yeah, I’d say go with the first person to come by and say they’ll take it. If somebody who contacts you is concerned about getting it, then they’ll make the time.

So my hubs and I are officially moving to LA and I am flipping the fuck out! We’re excited but also terrified. We’ve been visiting for the last 2 weeks copping a feel of the town and it is different than what I was expecting in some ways. Super busy, super crowded, and a little grimier than I was expecting. Problem is…

My fiance is leaving to the arctic for two months tonight. It’s an incredible opportunity and I’ve been nothing but supportive of him going, but of course I’m a little bit heart broken, too. I’m not used to spending so much time alone and I’m very anxious about it. Also, unlike most long-distance situations, we’ll not…

The guy I’ve been dating for several months has gone from going out to just meeting at his house for sex. He texted me last night at 11pm and I ignored it. Like I’m supposed to jump out bed, leave my comfy bed and cute pup to touch his dick. And it felt damn good. I’m sick of it. The dating scene in my thirties has…

you guys, I really wish the kardashian empire would fall. Im so sick of them.
