Stories & Confessions

I was hysterical but now I'm pissed. I've been married to my husband for 4 years and we've been together for 9. I had a baby last year and "let myself go" according to him because I couldn't lose the baby weight. I couldn't find time for myself between caring for our baby, caring for him, cleaning, cooking, and going back to work after maternity leave. He hasn't been attracted to me since and refuses to even touch me most days. I know his type is fit blondes and I was just that until, well, our son. He was perfect until I got fat.

My husband is out cheating on me as I'm writing this. He's out with his "work wife". He asked me if I would be angry if he cheated on me out of nowhere months ago before bed and when I obviously said yes he got an attitude and was angry with me. I was suspicious ever since he asked me that stupid question and today I finally got my answer. He's cheating and who knows for how long. I saw him get into his co worker's car and kiss her right in our driveway before they left. I let him call me crazy for months and drove myself insane trying to figure out if he was cheating on me or not. "It was just a stupid question, you're being dramatic" was his favorite thing to say to me. I stupidly let it go every single time because post partum is hard and I just wanted to be a good wife and mom for our baby.

Congratulations to me for being the world's biggest idiot dating the world's biggest catch. I can't wait for him to come home and lie to my face. I'm happy to know that I'm married to a man who lied to me daily about loving me no matter what. Clearly, I'm unlovable if I'm fat, even if it was from giving birth to his child and picking up after him. I hope his work wife is worth the divorce costs.

Mine is that narcissistic people tend to have a leg up and climb to the top more easily. Thats why i admire genuine people who make it to the top. How bout you?

Update I did not expect this post to take off like it did. I posted and then logged into work. I'm going to answer some common questions here instead of writing the same reply to each comment,

-I know that these risks have been around long before 2024, its more of a "I can't believe we're still dealing with this in 2024

-Why is she wearing head phones? She has severe anxiety, so she wears headphones in places that have loud noises. Her bus stop is up the street from us (probably about 10 houses) and its on a busy road. She just has to wait at the corner for the bus. She listens to music at the bus stop and on the bus to help her anxiety. She knows to keep one ear open and to be aware of her surroundings.

-What kind of scary place do we live in? We live in an normal suburb, a cute little small town. But we are also surrounded by a few major highways and a lot of people drive on the road the bus stop is who don't live in town. Sadly, this happens to girls/women EVERYWHERE it doesn't matter the size of the town or where the town is, if a girl/woman is out in public alone, there is a chance that she is going to be cat called. Yes, I was 11 when I first got catcalled by grown men. I also lived in a small town and it was men who lived in town who did it. They did not care that I was a child.

-Take her to a self defense course. That is on the to do list, a very kind man offered us self defense classes for free. She was in karate up to green belt, so she does know some basics. She's very timid, so karate was a challenge for her, hence me signing the both of us up for a self defense course.

-Why is she wearing heels at 12? I guess I need to clarify, she isn't wearing stilletos or anything. Its a "Mary Jane" style shoe with a 2ish inch heel.

I think that covers everything. I'll try and reply to as many comments as I can in between work,=.

I HATE that I have to remind my 12 year old daughter to keep one ear uncovered when she listens to music while she waits for the bus for summer school.

That I have to tell her to ignore anyone who catcalls her, because I was around her age when I started having grown ass men catcall me in the streets.

That if someone approaches her and makes her uncomfortable to run to our neighbors house across from the bus stop.

To make sure she knows how to use the SOS button on an app that she uses.

I have to tell her that it someone does grab her, she needs to fight like hell not to get into their car. To never go to a secondary location, because odds are, she wouldn't come back. Go for the eyes, go for the groin, and go for the neck. Scratch, claw, bite....whatever you have to do. As soon as they let go, RUN. Even if you have to take your shoes off to do it (she wears heels a lot now).

But unfortunately, she needs to know how to protect herself from anyone who approaches her who may want to hurt her.

Every morning its "Have a good day at school! If an adult you don't know approaches you at the bus stop, tell them you're not talking to an adult you don't know and if they don't listen, RUN. I love you see you after school!"

Yes, in theory, I could just go with her to the bus stop, but she's almost 13 and its time to let her be more independent, which also means teaching her how to protect herself.

I watch the app track her location until she texts me that she's safe and sound on the bus.

This is parenting a tween girl in 2024 and I hate it.

I F27 had a one night stand with M34. He had said he had just broke up with his girlfriend, due to fertility issues and he wanted to be a dad, 5 days prior. This should've been my red flag not to even sleep with him.

Fast forward 10 weeks and I found out I was pregnant. I was a little under 7 weeks pregnant. He ended up going back to his ex.

I reached out to him and informed him of the fact I was pregnant with his kid. Come to find out he was married to the girl and had lied about just dating.

We met up and had coffee to talk about and he brought his wife along. He had told her he wanted a divorce to go be with me and his child since she couldn't provide him one. She told him "Ok but I'm taking you for all your worth in spousal support", I just got and left because their marriage argument was none of my business.

He decided to stay with her and wanted to coparent with me. I told him I'll be ok with coparenting if we had a lawyer go ahead and write out a custody plan and we sign it at birth and that he signs a contract stating he'll sign the custody plan at birth, it included his wife will not be around my child and he'll come to my house to see the baby.

She found out about this and went insane. She kept calling and texting me saying she has to go to appointment because she is their stepmom and it's her right. I told her she's nothing to my kids hint the custody plan. She would send me charts of what I can and can't eat. I ignored everything she would text me.

When I started ignoring her calls and texts she started showing up outside of my doctor's office waiting for me. She got appointment times and where off his phone that I texted him. She was deny access to go back and then when I came out with ultrasound she demanded to see them. At this point I had enough, I yelled back at her and said "No! I'm not your surrogate! It's not my fault you can't carry child and your husband lied about being single. You'll never be around my kid. Come near me again I'll have you arrested and put in the crazy house."

I thought after that she'll leave me alone. Not, she threw a gender reveal for "her baby she's having by surrogacy" after I had mine 2 days prior and had a baby shower a week after I had mine. I had found out she was posting my ultrasounds claiming my baby as her, going as far as removing my name off of it.

She had shown up to my work trying to get me to go with her. There was a rumor she going to try to harm me to take my baby. At this point he had decided he had enough as well and served her divorce papers and asked her to go get some mental help. She had been pulled over and a gun and knifes were found in her car near my house. I went and got a restraining order but she still tries to get in contact.

Learn from me and don't sleep with men unless you know they are single.

Life isn’t fair at all, let’s be honest. I always can’t help but wonder if I got a second chance to do it over would I make the same mistakes? I just hate how much time I wasted ! Time is so precious and it’s the one thing that’s so valuable that we can’t get back.

I wish I could get a do-over tomorrow.

Tw for the boys: women’s period topic

As a woman, I generally wear some kind of a liner when I’m not on my period and will wear a liner and tampon for the first few days before switching just to pads towards the end.

So it has become almost second nature that I WILL put something inside my underwear unless I know I’m about to have sexy time.

I’m currently on my last days of my period so I’m just wearing a pad inside my (boxer) underwear. But when I used the bathroom first thing this morning, there was nothing inside my underwear. I checked around my legs and found nothing.

I quickly washed up and went back to my bed to check but there’s nothing. Regardless it couldn’t have fallen out because I wear boxers and my shorts have that inner mesh thingy.

I checked my bathroom trashcan and it was still empty because I just threw out the trash before I went to bed.

LIKE WHERE TF IS MY PAD?! Did I just not put one on???

And thank god my period has ended because I just washed my white bed sheets and I can’t imagine leaking through onto them had my period was still going on and I was wearing no pad.

We’ve been married for almost ten years. He let my daughter pick a small gift for me but he didn’t buy anything for me. So all I got was a tiny little plastic cat from my little girl which I’ll cherish forever.

But I’m sad that apparently I don’t matter enough to him. I don’t need big gifts, we don’t have a lot of money but I spent 50$ on very thoughtful gifts for him a few months ago.

I’m angry and also, what am I teaching my daughter when I stay with him? That moms don’t deserve gifts from dads? He did the dishes today and that was apparently my gift (those are his chores anyway). Last year he wouldn’t have given me anything either if I hadn’t reminded him the day before that it was my birthday.

And the worst part? He lied to me about it. He told me he had bought me little treats that he’d wrap. He said that in the car this morning, knowing full well he didn’t have anything.

Tomorrow I’ll have strength to think about all the implications of today and all the other days recently that he doesn’t give a shit. But today I just want to curl up into a ball and cry.

I got a concussion over the weekend and I’ve been struggling the last couple days. Yesterday at work, I wasn’t feeling well, so I was going to go sit outside for a minute and get some fresh air. I went back to the workshop to tell my coworker cause it was just him and me and one other dude way in the back that day. I managed to get out something along the lines of “I’m gonna take a break, I don’t feel good…” before I everything went black.

I don’t know how long I was out, though I don’t think it was super long, but I woke up on the floor, staring up at the ceiling. My coworker was more than a little panicked, understandably, and he was alternating between calling for the other guy in the back to come help him and trying to get me to respond to him and wake up.

I know it’s weird…but I find that I kinda liked the way he was fussing over me for the rest of the day. He’s a cute guy, but we don’t usually talk much at work cause he’s pretty private and solitary. But ever since yesterday he’s been fussing over me and trying to make sure I’m okay.

He asked me why I passed out and I told him I had a concussion, but he pushed more and I told him how I got it and what happened…and the look on his face when I told him was beyond comprehension. He’s being so nice and I kinda like it, but it’s also super weird and I don’t know how to react. We’ve worked together for close to two years, but we’ve never really talked much besides some light chit chat. Now he’s constantly coming up from the work shop to talk to me and check on me. It’s a total attitude shift from him and I don’t know what to do about it. It’s weird, but not unpleasant, but I don’t know how to handle this or if now he thinks that he has to look out for me or something. I don’t want him to feel like that, I’m perfectly capable of taking care of myself and a little concussion isn’t the biggest of deals for me.

We (30s M&F + kids + dogs) live in the country (US), right along a state highway. We have about 6 neighbors, the closest being about 100 yards (91 meters) away.

This has happened 4 times that we know of. Last winter, my SO (30s M) was home alone. He was in the back of the house sleeping, when he woke up freezing cold. He went to investigate and found our kitchen door wide open. This happened 3x, twice in one night and again on a different night. He was home alone each time.

Most recently, he, I & the kids had left the house for the playground around noon. We stayed about an hour. When we got back, he and I were chatting as we walked into the house. We turned the corner into our living room and both immediately froze. Our living room entrance was wide open.

A few important things thing to note—

• Our living room entrance is technically the “main” entrance, but we NEVER use it. It stays deadbolted and the knob stays locked.

• It takes a bit of effort to get the deadbolt turned & door open; because the door frame tends to swell. Our kids wouldn’t have been able to open it (probably) at all, especially without us noticing.

• We DID fuck up by leaving the kitchen entrance unlocked, and I know it’s foolish. It’s an argument I’ve had with SO years on end, that I believe he will now start taking seriously.

• I believe that this person entered and exited through the unlocked kitchen. I think the only reason they popped that unused door open, was to let us know they were there.

• Nothing is ever taken. There are valuables everywhere. Nothing is ever disturbed.

• The dogs. The dogs are not a fan of strangers rolling up on our property. They’re not violent, but they make it known that this is our house and that they may or may not be welcome. A couple of years ago, our dogs started to wander off the property when they were let out. It would take them 5-10 minutes to come back when called. This was very out of character, and has only recently started to get better. We wonder if there isn’t someone close feeding them, treating them, becoming familiar with them, disarming them. They’re always in the house when we leave.

This particular instance, when we returned home, the were acting funny. They were doing that shameful “I got into the trash” or “I snuck food off the counter” bow/walk. Like they knew something wrong happened here.

A few other, milder occurrences that kind of make sense now…

• We have come home a couple of times and the dogs have been outside. These times we kind of just questioned whether or not we had truly let them in, and moved on.

• The other day I came home from work, & used the key to get in. My oldest daughter said, “Mom, I swear, RIGHT before you pulled up, someone knocked on the door; but when I looked out, I didn’t see anyone.” We have a long gravel driveway, it would be extremely odd for someone to knock & there not be a vehicle in the driveway.

Anyway, I say all of this solely to get it off my chest. We’ve gotten extra keys made, so my hard-headed SO can start locking the fucking door. We already had indoor cameras, that we will start arming every single time we leave. I ordered 3 outdoor cameras, window jams, door knob jams, and swing locks (hotel room style), and frosted window film.

We feel violated, confused, and scared.

** Small update— I’ve ordered 2 smart deadbolts, a gadget detector, and have a couple more cameras that weren’t in use that I’m gonna mount in some windows. I can’t sleep.

** Update #2— nothing new, I just want to thank each and every one of you that have shown concern, offered any insight or made any suggestions. I’m reading every single comment. My mind is a mess right now. I’m terrified. I’ve spent probably $1,000+ on security measures. I left the house while SO is working, & me and the kids are in a safe place right now.

Y’all I have had the best birthday ever. I woke up and went breakfasting with my best friend, went for an hour drive listening to my playlist then went home straight to my bed.

I have shopped myself 87 items(I hope delivery is fast) and I have so far received lots of gifts and lots of money notifications(will add it all up tomorrow). I know it’s childish to expect but I hope my fiancé does something super nice to sum up my day.

Otherwise my parents, siblings, patients and my friends have already outdone themselves. I am surely loved by the best.

May the next year of my life be as lovely, peaceful, calm and enriching like today 😊

I had an abortion after finding out my fiancé got another woman pregnant.

i'm 28 (f) and he's 29 (m). we've been in a relationship for 5 years and engaged for 9months. malapit na sana kaming ikasal.

i never wanted to have a child, and i am not ready dahil hindi pa naman kami kasal and wala pa sa plano kong mag anak, but my fiance really wanted one. even his parents and other relatives pressured me, so i felt forced to have a baby.

to keep a long story short, i accidentally found out my fiancé was cheating on me when i was about 11 weeks pregnant. he already knew i was pregnant but still continued to cheat, and kung sino sino na rin ang kinikita nyang babae.

i didn't want to be stressed, so i didn't confront my fiancé right away kahit na masakit sa akin. my pregnancy was sensitive at that time, kaya ayokong makaaffect ang panloloko nya sa pagbubuntis ko.

not until someone messages me, and she said thay my fiancé got her friend pregnant, and they can no longer reach or contact my fiancé. oh fvck, araw na gumuho ang mundo ko, ganito pala talaga kasakit maloko.

hindi ko na kaya ihandle pa lahat ng nalalaman ko, so many thoughts are going through my mind na, do i deserve this? does our child deserve this? should i tie myself to him for life? and papayag pa ba akong magpakasal sa kanya?

i talked to the girl he got pregnant, she's a student and about to graduate from college. she's been in a relationship with my fiancé for almost a year, and my fiancé visits her after his work.

she can't raise their child without a father, she needs my fiancé, and her parents want my fiancé to marry her, without them knowing na buntis din ako.

i told him i planned to get an abortion, he begged me not to. he apologize and aayusin nya raw lahat ng gulong ginawa nya. gusto nya paring ituloy and wedding at bumuo mg pamilya with me, pero paano naman yung nabuntis nya? buo na ang desisyon kong hindi na ikeep ang bata.

i want to distance myself now, i don't want to see him anymore, and the only way to cut our connection is to have an abortion, why would i give him what he wants after he ruined me, our relationship?

so i searched for a seller online, gladly i found a trusted seller who provides assistance to women in need and they assisted me throughout the process, i took the meds and delivered the baby. i gave this man the best years of my life. i gave him everything i had and everything i could.

and that was the right decision i made in my entire life. i know it was the only way to cut my connection with my (ex) fiancé, i know what i did is wrong, but i didn't want my child to grow up in our chaotic relationship.

and for my baby, i will forever remember the first time i heard your heartbeat. thank you for making me a mom for a short while, mommy will never forget you, you will always be my first baby.

i love you and i'm sorry if my love is not enough to keep you safe.

My (34F) boyfriend (34M) had been acting really strange with his phone and laptop for a while and my intuition told me something wasn’t right. One night, when he went to the bathroom, he left his laptop open and I quickly looked at his browser history before he came back. I found that he had been frequenting a popular “affair and kink” site and I was concerned that he was cheating on me so I made my own account to browse and find his.

I thought it was strange because we live together and he’s a big introvert and is obsessed with me and my whereabouts and if he isn’t working, he’s always home, so was he really cheating? Anyway, I made an account and browsed my town’s listings and what I found shocked me. I didn’t find his account where he was seeking other women but what I DID find was an account he created impersonating ME. He had made an account impersonating me and had posted a handful of my nude photos that I had sent him in confidence as my boyfriend.

I cannot express the slap in the face I felt when I found my own nude photos circulating online. What’s worse is that he was impersonating me as if I were seeking a sexual encounter with a random well endowed man. Without using the disgusting inappropriate language he used, I’ll just say that he (posing as me) said I was seeking a “large” man to satisfy my needs and that I was willing to perform sexual favors while my boyfriend watched. When I saw this, it clicked. I had found his porn searches a while back and he had searched, DAILY, cuckhold porn and wanted me to have sex with men in front of him. To me, this filled me with disgust. Isn’t my man supposed to want me to himself and be protective of me? Anyway I was NOT into it but he was obsessed. He had mentioned that it turned him on but I wasn’t into it and we had only briefly spoken about it once. He took it upon himself to post my nude photos to find a sexual partner for me so that he could watch.

I am a very modest woman and would have never in a million years consented to this. What’s worse is that he has been very abusive to me during our relationship and I’m sincerely worried that if he were willing to violate me to this extent, that he may be willing to invite a man over to have sex with me so he can watch without my consent. I am genuinely so upset and fearful right now.

I decided to confront him about it in gentle way because he is a very angry and touchy person. As soon as I brought it up, he didn’t remotely apologize but instead got angry, screamed in my face, and smashed my phone until it shattered. He shared my nude photos on the site in our town as well so I have no idea how many locals have seen my nudes or how many people I know have seen them. I’m honestly so hurt and mortified and so violated that I’m even embarrassed to tell anyone this.

This past weekend on a whim I ordered a supreme pizza that had onion, jalapeños, and olives on it in addition to pepperoni and sausage. I was blown away by how much I loved it. I’m 40 years old and I’m still discovering so many foods that I now love that I used to think were disgusting.

Hello. I am a new to Reddit. I originally did not want to engage with people online but due to how unstable my life is and the fact that I may never get the chance again, I decided to do so. My life is endless suffering but I am used to it now.

Is there people out there that just think damn life is so good! I’m not even asking for myself I’m numb at this point I just want better for my kids.

Title basically says it all. We have been together in total for 13 years, married for almost 5. I never wanted kids, he knew he wanted kids from day 1. Eventually, after getting married, I decided that although I knew I didn't generally want kids, I could see myself having one with him because he was an amazing husband and would be an amazing father. Two years after the birth of our son I discovered he had been cheating on me. I barely had finished grieving the life I left behind when I became a mother, and now I am a single mother. Two year olds are hard. I just feel numb to it all. That's all, thanks for reading.

Yes five, normally my sister drives me places but she is out of town right now. 1.) I got a quick ride to the bus stop since I live a mile from the nearest one 2.) from work after I picked up my paycheck to the bank, I cash the check then walk to a different banks atm to actually deposit the cash 3.) from the bank atm home 4.) home to the movies as I watched The Bikeriders and 5.) from the movie theater to home. Probably spent 55 dollars on rides all day. UGH I gotta get my bike fixed so I can start riding it and the bus again.

I grew up in relatively normal southern household. My parents always said things like:

“I’ll be damned if you think you’re living in my house for free the day after you turn 18.” My dad is poor AF and doesn’t have a car or a place to live. My mom is a relatively successful business owner (they are divorced). I don’t really speak to either of them that much.

My dad is constantly asking to move into my house with me. I won’t let him. I don’t care that he’s poor and doesn’t have a place to live. I don’t speak to my mom because all she cares about is money. Before I stopped speaking to her I told her “maybe you can talk to all of your precious money instead of me in your old age”.

I think a lot of boomers don’t understand that the whole bootstrap mentality isn’t going to work when they are old and no longer able to take care of themselves. I won’t pay for their nursing home and I won’t let them live with me.

I’ll be damned if they are living in my house if they aren’t paying rent.

Like when I slow down and just look at what the people around me are doing, or thinking about what’s going through their heads are so cute. An example would be my dad, one morning I was grabbing a snack and my dad had gotten my niece some chicken from KFC and he tries not to eat heavy but he was getting some and he looked over and said “I wanna try some of this chicken.” While holding his robe. Or this old man I pass by a lot riding his bike today because it was nice out. It just makes me realize how innocent we can be and how we still have child like wants and wonders. Another would be this video I saw of this girl with a cat and her and the cat would meow back and forth. Things like this make me sad that they’re evil and bad in the world and it just makes me wanna help people feel happy and take away their worries.

Me (20m) and my girlfriend (27f) I have been together for 2 years now. I am currently a Registered Nurse as I did a 2 year ADN program straight out of high school. Nursing has always been my dream job, and especially my single mom’s dream as she is also a nurse who immigrated from the Philippines when I was young. 

Well, recently I was laid off from my job. I found a good hospital to work at almost as soon as I finished my exam that was near where I lived. I was working there for a few months and I never received any complaints nor complained myself, so I was really confused when they called me into HR and told me they were firing me. They said that they dug through my name and found that I had made nude content of myself in the past and that they didn’t want that type of person working. Now I was just more confused, but when I asked what they were talking about they showed me a bunch of images.

They were images of me, and I don’t want to say what they were exactly but they were really bad. After I was fired I drove home and I kinda cried. Nursing is my dream and to be fired so fast makes me kinda feel like a failure. The first person I called after I got fired was my girl, and when she asked why I told it was because of an OF account I “made”. She then hung up randomly and an hour later she went to my apartment.

She started crying and hugging me as soon as she saw me. After I calmed her down she told me that when she made the account. She told me that she was low on money so she made a fake account of nudes that I sent to her. When I asked her why she said her gay friends said I was “marketable to older men” After I heard that I told her to get out.

It’s been a week since then but I apologized to her about me getting mad, and so did she. But what she did is still so weird to me. She did all of this without telling me, and all for what, money? She has a better job than me, she works in fucking computer science. I still love her, but our relationship won’t be the same as it once was.

Edit: I now know OF has a very strict identification system. I just assumed it was because that's where nudes are posted. She still posted my nudes online regardless, I'm just not sure what site

I hate politics. I especially hate Trump. My family has been brainwashed into worshipping this man like he’s god. Flags everywhere, t-shirts, hats, stickers, pins, the list goes on. My autistic brother calls eagles “trump eagles”.

My family are hardcore Christians and won’t tolerate any oppositions in beliefs from anyone. If you don’t live, eat, breathe, sleep, and shit the same way they do they think you’re an evil person and are trying to destroy America.

I could go on and on but I won’t make this longer than it needs to be.

Fuck trump.

I'm in high school right now, and as a Filipino, Christianity is the most prominent religion. Even after I moved to America I still follow it a lot. I joined churches, I'm a part of a lot of youth orgs, and I read a lot of scripture. My family is also the same, in fact they were more into Christianity than me. However, around April my family randomly stopped going to church. I live in a house of 10, because everybody from my mom's family lives with me (My dad left when I was little). I always relied on the adults to give me a ride so when they stopped I was kinda stopped too. I asked them why they weren't going and they said they had more work. I didn't mind too much, and I understood it because we aren't the richest family to say the least.

Then in May my parents just randomly dropped me from my basketball team, which was Christian based. They again told me that money was hard, which I also understood. AAU basketball is expensive. However that same week I noticed all the crosses in our house were just gone when I came back from school. When I tell you our house was painted with crosses, I mean it. Every room had a cross, when you came into the house there was one, bathroom, literally everywhere. Now they were all gone. When I asked they again said they were short on money, which I tried to reason with myself again but it doesn't make sense. There's not much you could sell old wood for to say the least. Still I believed them, until two weeks later.

When I got home there was a bunch of packages outside, and when I peeked inside there was a bunch of rugs. When my family opened them up everybody got one except me, and then I realized they were prayer rugs for Islam. I asked them why I didn't get one and they said I didn't ask. I told them they shouldn't have bought all these rugs because we were low on money, like they kept telling me. However they said the rugs were important. I didn't say anything it until it reached a boiling point last week.

I keep a Bible by my bedside. I'm the only kid in the family so I have my own room. But one day it was just gone. When I asked my mom she said very nonchalantly she tossed it away. At first I didn't believe her but she said she wasn't joking. I never yell at my family, but I started cursing at my mom. I was questioning her why she threw it away, why didn't she tell me she did, etc. After she punished me she got everybody in the house together and my mom broke the news to me: everybody followed Islam now. I asked her why and she said that Christianity's God wasn't helping them, as we were still struggling to make ends meet. So all of the adults decided to convert. When I asked her why she didn't tell me everybody was converting she told me I was a kid and that "you are in high school, you should make your own decisions anak (son)".

Since that was revealed to me now my family will pray using their prayer rugs, and if they are at home they do it in the living room. Now I'm the only Christian in the family. I'm not mad at my family for being Muslims, they are all adults and that is their decision. However I just don't understand why they didn't tell me, because everybody knew how much religion mattered to me. I feel disconnected from my family now, because even though everybody had work at different times I would be able to see everybody for at least one day together, on Sunday when everybody went to church. I'm just stressed out from this all.

My older cousin basically invented his own version of D&D for my cousin and I to play with him. It was dumbed down and basically was a choose your own adventure book with dice involved. I loved playing with them and as I got older, none of my friends played any board games whatsoever. When I got to college I saw there was a table top gaming club that had all sorts of games.

I went there and gave them the $10 fee for printing sheets and dice and such. I sit down and they had different people go up to the front to show the game they brought or was going to DM and would explain the game. One guy explained this game that was set in a Bloodborne esque kinda world (I don't remember the name) and that the game was very difficult and told us not to play it unless we liked a challenge or had a lot of experience with pen and paper games. After everyone was done we would sit at the table for which game we wanted to play. The first two meetings was basically making character sheets then we would start to play.

It turned out, I didn't really like the group I was with. Nothing against them but I just didn't vibe with them very well which is pretty important for D&D which was the game I picked. I figured I would just go and ask if I could switch games or something but then I realized it was probably too late as everyone has made their characters already and I would be too far behind. So, I decided that I would just stop going. Surprisingly, I got a text message from the DM of my group. I forgot that I put down my phone number when I signed up and he told me that two new people joined and they just made their characters so I didn't miss anything. I figured if they can join now maybe I should just ask if I could join that harder game because it did sound fun. He told me I would have to come in and ask.

I go in the next week and I see that group is already there and these two guys are arguing. I walk over to the table and hear the tail end of the argument. One guy is packing up his stuff and said, "I know the game is challenging but you had to have killed me on purpose and that isn't fair." He starts to walk away and the DM goes, "It's not my fault you picked your skills randomly and named your character 'Numbers McDice'. I told you that was a bad idea!" At that point I just looked around the room and decided to just go to a friend's house to drink beer instead.

That is the pointless story of why I do randomized playthroughs of games now with the character name or save file as "Numbers McDice"

This literally just happened 2 hours ago. My younger cousin uses my dad's old phone to watch YouTube and being the older one in this scenario I had the objective of taking it away and turning it off once his dad (my uncle) comes along. I got a tad bit curious and pulled down the notification bar. I then noticed something. It was a notification from a messenging app and the word that caught my eye was "love".

I was shocked and even more curious so I pulled it down again to reveal the full message. It basically translated to "I love you even though I know my place" I of course got extremely suspicious but decided to turn it off and put it down.

After a few hours, I decided to go outside my room and retrieve the cellphone. I waited a few minutes to make sure my parents are fully asleep before opening the messages. To my horror, my suspicions were true. Their Convo was just basically inappropriate texts and a bunch of calls. There were even instances were the girl was asking if his partner (my mom) was watching and if she could join. I wanted to puke my guts out. I took pictures of it from my personal phone and went outside to put my dad's old phone back before running straight to the bathroom and crying my heart out.

The only person who knows about this is my best friend who is my ride or die and No one else. I am the youngest of 3. My oldest sibling is already working but is far away from us. My second oldest sibling is on his 3rd year in college whilst I'm a 10th grader. I don't know what to do. He is the main source of income in our family and even if they want to separate they technically can't (divorce is still not legal where I live).

I just want to know what to do. I came on here to vent some more and possibly get more outsider tips an how to go about this. My best friend told me to not tell my mom since he might leave us and since he's the main income of our house, me and my brothers education is endangered. Please tell me what should I do or at the very least what should I do to distract my self from this mess.

PS. I'm sorry if there are some grammatical errors here. English isn't my first language.

Everytime somebody makes a post about their delivery being skipped, not delivered properly or downright have video proof of posties throwing boxes around and not even bothering to deliver there is always an army of postmen in the comments.

They always have some sort of toxic excuse like people are complaining about first world problem to expect their deliveries to be you know... Delivered.

One time I broke my knee and needed medication signed and delivered. I was home all day and saw the postie pull up and leave a card in the mailbox. Couldn't do anything because I was in crutches. I was then told by a postman that I shouldn't be so useless and that they have so many deliveries in a day it's not their job to deliver every single package... But it is.

So I'm genuinely curious. Why are posties so mad all the time?
