I (25M) was walking to the train station with some new coworkers when I got a call from my mom. We chatted about what went on at the office that day and how things were at home. After I hung up, a few of them made some offhanded remarks about how it was weird for my to talk to her about my day, and when I mentioned I try to do this every day, they said that was especially weird. Is there a cutoff age for interacting with your folks? She's one of my best friends.

This sub is largely a hug box for conservatives who can't deal with the fact that only 50% of people agree with them, or that there are corners of the internet where their opinion isn't popular.

Stunning and brave to hold opinions that are advocated for daily on Fox News.

So I recently signed a job offer with a giant company and once I looked at my actual salary in the system it did not match my offer letter. I pointed this out to the HR department (supported with evidence in my offer letter) and basically they said that they made a mistake and my compensation is 20% lower! I don’t think I have the money or the patience to sue a giant multinational corporation. Nor do I stand a chance. My supervisor just sort of acts like we are all at the mercy of HR and it’s not like HE made the mistake. Plus I still want to work for them! It’s a well paying job even after the 20% cut. Anything I can do besides just take it?!

I never used to really think too much about it or find it weird. But seeing my daughter grow up it's been harder to ignore. She's 13 and it kind of finally dawned on me how wrong our relationship is. I haven't said anything yet and don't know how to really deal with it.

My high school had a, I guess you could call it a mentor program, where they had some older students come help the new ones adjust to high school. The idea was that we would be able to talk to older students about things and get advice that teachers wouldn't, though it wasn't intensive or huge or anything. I had just started high school so I would have been 12, while she was 18. I was a shy kid and struggled with school but she basically took me under her wing.

No other mentor student acted like she did, but she made it seem like it was about helping me. She first said I reminded her of herself when she was younger, while later on she would say it's because she loved me. It started normal, but slowly got more inappropriate. When I was 14 we started secretly dating, and started openly dating when I was 16. We married and had our daughter at 19. My parents didn't care, they liked her. And still do. They think I'm lucky to have a wife like her.

For me it all seemed so normal. I loved her, I still love her so much. Our relationship has been so happy. Yet just imagining it happening to my daughter makes me feel so disgusted. The more I think about it the more conflicted I feel. I love her, I'm so happy with her. I don't want to lose her, but I feel so angry and disgusted. I don't know how she could do that, but then I can't imagine life without her and especially our daughter. It feels so horrible but it's not like I can do anything about it. I don't even know if I want to. It's just not fair.

Edit. Because I've already had like 5 comments on it. Not all.school systems are like the US. Year 7 is high school. Most kids are 12 turning 13.
