“My partner said I love you to someone else”
I 28(M), just had my partner 29(F) of 6 years tell me that she told another man “I love you”, let’s call him Tim.
Tim and my partner met at their workplace, they’ve grown very close over the last year. He’s professed his love for her in the past, but she has not said confessed anything to him in the past. Tim once again this weekend confessed his love and how this has affected him. After, they cried together, talked and held hands. She assures me nothing more has happened, and I fully believe her, we are very open with everything in our relationship.

“I donated $1000 to a streamer”
A few days ago I was feeling really lonely and desperate for attention and that’s when I found out one of my favorite streamer was online. Keep in mind that I am a NEET and I have 0 friends and I was feeling extremely lonely. The streamer helped me feel better and made me laugh a couple of times and I wanted to show them appreciation by donating money, but I wanted to go big, because they really helped me feel better that day.
I donated $1000 and they reacted big and was really happy, but it was all done and over with within seconds. Like, 10 seconds later it’s completely forgotten about and that’s when I realized that I’m a complete idiot. I live in my parents basement and I’m definitely not that wealthy enough to be donating that big (I have $20k saved up), and I just wasted $1000 on a streamer just for that few seconds of attention that ended up not being worth it.
“My adult daughter doesn’t want to work”
My (65F) daughter (37F) has been unemployed for over three years. She left her job during the pandemic and relied on the stimulus checks and the unemployment pay until it ran out. Now I don’t know what she is living on.
My daughter lives alone in a rent controlled apartment and has never asked me for money or help. But I don’t understand how she is supporting herself paying her rent, etc. as she has no job. I assume she is running through her savings and if she has lasted this long that means she had at least 40k saved and is just burning through it all.

“I keep checking my wife’s phone”
I’m a 35-year-old man and my wife is 32. We’ve been together almost seven years, married for three, and we have a wonderful one-year-old. My wife is my best friend. There’s no one on this earth I enjoy talking to or spending time with more than her.
I’m a very active husband. I cook, I clean, I compliment my wife whenever I can, and I’m honestly head over heels for her. I’m committed to my family 1000% and I try to put their needs ahead of my own whenever possible. I’m not saying I’m perfect, but I genuinely try to be the best husband and father I can be.
About a month ago I found out my wife had a short affair with someone from work. I discovered it after checking her phone one night. My gut told me something was wrong, and when I looked, there they were — the texts that absolutely shattered me.
“My life with my wife is miserable”
Here’s what my week looks like.
Monday to Friday I’m up at 5 a.m. for work. I feed the cats and leave, usually getting off around 4 p.m. Sometimes my wife asks me to pick her up from work. It’s a little out of the way, but I don’t mind. I used to be happy to do it.
She’ll often say she needs personal space after a long day. Fine. But she’ll get in the car talking on the phone with her parents, laughing and chatting the whole ride home. The second we park, she hangs up, goes inside, changes, and disappears into her room without even saying a word to me.
Meanwhile I feed the cats again, clean the litter box, cook dinner, wash the dishes, and then leave for my second job.
“Am I being too clingy??”
Hi, I’m a 26-year-old male in a long-distance relationship with a 26-year-old woman. I tend to overthink about things she does. I really love her, but sometimes my overthinking leads to small issues.
For example, yesterday she had a function to attend, a wedding event for her friend, and she went with some of her friends. Because I’m protective of her, I asked how she was going and how she was coming, and she tells me everything.
She told me she would be coming with a bunch of her friends and told me the exact time she left the event. I know how much time it takes her to reach home from that event, approximately 15 minutes, but it took almost 45 minutes. She was online sometimes and didn’t even message me.
