“I fucking hate my wife”
I hate my wife, and I hate what I have allowed our marriage to do to my life. At the same time, I hate myself for what I have done to hers.
We had children even though, deep down, I did not want to. I should have been more honest with myself about that. I resent her for not finishing her degree, and I resent myself for not recognizing that she was never going to take it seriously. I hate that she spends far more than we can afford, and I hate myself for allowing that to continue.

What It’s Like Being a Teenage Girl in South Korea
I’m sixteen, which in Korea means I’m almost a finished product.
That’s how it feels, anyway. By your third year of high school, people start talking about your “specs”—test scores, clubs, volunteer hours—and your face like they’re items on the same checklist. At cram school, the girls trade math tips and moisturizer samples. On the group chat, we swap past exams and plastic-surgery clinic screenshots. When adults ask what I plan to do after graduation, they mean both college and whether I’ll “fix” anything. It’s said kindly, like asking if I’ve bought a new backpack.
Why Defense Lawyers Must Defend Even the Guilty
It’s one of the hardest ideas to wrap your head around: a criminal defense lawyer defending someone they know is guilty.
To most people, that feels like helping someone get away with a crime. Immoral. Twisted. Wrong.
But here’s the uncomfortable truth—defending guilty clients isn’t just legally allowed, it’s
“My boyfriend says he is nowhere near ready to propose to me after 5 years together”
My boyfriend and I have been together for almost five years. For about the last year, I’ve been talking about wanting to move. He has always been apprehensive about it, but I’ve tried to keep the conversation open so we could figure out what our future might look like together.
Last month, he signed another one year contract at his current job. I found out after the fact. That really hurt because he knew I wanted to move, and it felt like he made a major decision that affects our future without even talking to me about it.
“How do I get rid of a vehicle I can’t afford anymore”
I bought a Tacoma for work because I let my father in law talk me into it. I was able to easily afford the monthly payments but the job I was at went under.
Now I work from home but for $5 less an hour. I owe 35k on this stupid thing but I can only get 22.5k at the dealership or maybe 30k if I private sell. The issue is I don’t qualify for the loans I would need for the remaining balance after the sale.
I really really don’t want to default on the payment cuz I know it will wreck my credit score and I don’t know what my payments will be for the balance left after they auction it. Any help or advice would be much appreciated
