“Wife doesn’t want kids…I’m heartbroken.”
My wife and I have been together for ten years. We met when I was seventeen and my God, it was like coming home. We talked with effortless ease. It wasn’t even falling in love, it was more like…becoming love. Recognizing love I could have seen from a million miles away.
Not much has changed since. Things haven’t been perfect, but we love each other unbearably. We were finishing each other’s sentences as teenagers, and we’re just as connected today. I FaceTime her on the way to work and the way home from work, quarantine has been wonderful, and we have so much fun together. She is the light of my life. At 17, the last thing I thought would be fun would be ten years of sex with the same person. And yet I still feel literal butterflies when I see her naked.

“My husband hit me”
I’m a 29-year-old woman, and I’ve been married to my husband, who’s 32, for two years now. In that time, he’s hit me three times, leaving bruises on my body. Even though I try to defend myself, he just leaves me crying and in a lot of pain.
He always blames me, saying it’s my fault for talking back when he says hurtful things.
When things are good, he’s incredibly sweet, treating me like a princess. But if he gets angry about anything, he completely loses it.

No, we’re talking about those individuals who seem to breathe lies as easily as the rest of us breathe air.

Does Playing Chess Make You Smarter?
Alright, let’s tackle the age-old question: Does playing chess make you smarter? It’s a claim that’s been tossed around more times than a queen on a chessboard, but let’s cut through the hype and get to the heart of the matter.
First off, let’s address the elephant in the room: intelligence isn’t some monolithic thing you can measure with a single number. It’s not like your chess rating goes up and suddenly you’re solving cold fusion or writing Pulitzer-worthy novels. The human brain is far more complex and nuanced than that.

“Bestfriend didn’t invite me to his wedding”
I (28m) didn’t get invited to my closest friend’s (28m) wedding. I was one of the first people he told about the proposal before it happened. I thought I had a good relationship with his fiance too.
We went on trips together, never had any drama between us and golf together quite a bit. Our friend group has about 5 of us that have all been close friends since middle school. They all were invited except for me. I didn’t get an invite when they sent them out last fall and I thought it was just well understood I would be there.
