Hot take: just cuz you’re born in the same family, does not mean you are family. Or that you need to stay in touch. “Oh you have to get along because you’re family” - no. Some of them are toxic af and the trope that families stay together is bs.

And…. Related but not related. Get your will and end of life shit together before you need to.

Anyone in the suburbs find it harder to make friends compared to the city? I don’t want to move back but I don’t know what else to do..

Does ADHD have a big impact on your memory? It feels like if I don't have constant reminders set or leave notes for myself I can forget ANYTHING even if it's really important to me. I think it's making my partner feel like I don't remember the things they say or don't care to listen. What can I do?? Not on medication but if it helps with this I'd take it.

Looking for some perspective: we just got a brand new $2,000 glass top 78" dining table. I asked my husband to please use a table cloth when he uses that table for d&d with his friends to avoid scratches and the loud dice on the table. He got upset that I "don't let him enjoy our stuff," that I "hate the sound of him having fun," and he says I am being unreasonable. From my perspective, I just want to preserve this expensive piece of furniture that we both love. Am I being unreasonable?

Does anyone actually like raising their kids? Or are they just lying to themselves and others because they can't undo that choice?

3 reasons my husband is ready to be a dad, even though he’s never changed a diaper.

1. His text is so big on his phone you can see it 2 rows back and across the aisle on the plane
2. He yells at the tv analysts on cable news
3. He laughs at and makes corny jokes

Here we go, 24 weeks and counting!

Does anyone have any success stories of being introduced to their partner (arranged marriage) by parents/family friends as a first gen? My main concerns are:
1) raising family’s hopes
2) timeline pressure
3) others having visibility on the process
4) not being able to be my true authentic self with the person I would be introduced to

How do we feel about prenups? Necessary or not?

I’m not sure if I’m overthinking this but I (25M) have a feeling a friend(23F) is hitting on me. Whenever we hang out she’ll get really close and keep touching/poking me whenever we need to turn corners, cross the block, etc because she’s the navigator. When we sit next to each other on the bench she’ll be up on my personal space up. Just a lot of shoulder to shoulder touching. I had other female friends this touchy as well but I wouldn’t think anything of it because some people are touchier 1/2

I showed up to the airport high asf after smoking a bong and eating 100mg of edibles my friend gave me for the first time in my life AMA

Never tell your wife to calm down. That won’t go well for you.

Instead, turn it into a question like “does someone need a time out?” Much less confrontational that way.

My family is concerned about me becoming an officer. I could see why, but what are some things you've told your families to put them a bit more at ease about the field you're in?

26 and being pressured to get married and date by ethnic extend family and family. I’m out off by marriage because all I saw growing up was women talking about sacrifices. It sounds miserable. I also don’t want to have kids for that reason and I’m tired of being bloody asked. Tired of being offered prayers or whatever. It seems like hell

I confess I had a strange dream a few years ago and it’s still haunting me : everything was black, no color, no shades, no light, no warmth, no sound, nothing, a big great nothing in nothingness.

I usually do not dream.
Or If I do I almost never remember.
It’s like one dream remembered every ten years or so, something like this.
The only dreams I have are premonitions.
Most of the time it’s about the context and place.
All happened to be verified over time.

What do you think of it?

As a guy I've always found it weird how some guys ( a few on here as well) don't want women who make more than them. Is this actually common?

Was back in the office for the first time since Covid. It’s been really nice seeing everyone again and rekindling old relationships but something about being back just feels off to me.
Covid changed a lot and it’ll be tough to go back to the old ways but it all just feels so different. Idk if I’m in culture shock or this just isn’t for me anymore. Has anyone else felt this?

Wife is addicted to cell phone. Games, social media .. the usual. Too the extent that she doesn’t get enough sleep which impacts her mood and makes her irritable. Any discussion leads to argument and “what about ..” blame games. Did anyone else deal with this ? How ?

Wanna play 2 truths and a lie??

Told my SO I'm only ok with them hanging out with a questionable individual in a group setting but I secretly wish this person was completely cut out. They're the definition of a hot mess that has burned bridges with all mutual friends. No boundaries. I don't believe there's cheating but I am very uncomfortable with the person (zero trust) and my SO's naivete who was also defensive. We talked it out but now I feel like I have my hand ready on a rip cord for our relationship after this red flag.

Hot take: Instagram is a dumb app that preys on individuals’ mental health and self esteem for profit, and the world is better off without it. I hope we experience more down time.
