“Wife wants me to meet the guy she was unfaithful with”
About a year ago, my wife confessed that she gave a guy oral sex on a night out. We have looser boundaries than most couples, but this clearly crossed them. There’s a small chance her drink was spiked, but we don’t know for sure.
We went to marriage therapy, and I decided to stay for the sake of our family. I don’t feel like I can forgive it, though, because that would make it feel like it was okay.

“My husband is going on a world tour with his friends and leaving me and the kids behind”
My husband is planning a world tour with his friend. It would be his first time doing something like this. We have three young kids, ages 8, 5, and 2, and I would be home with them while he travels.
He says he doesn’t want to travel with kids because it’s too hectic, so instead of planning something for us as a family, he wants to do this trip without us. He keeps explaining that he’ll be using points for everything, so he’s not technically spending money on flights or hotels. He wants to fly first class because the points are expiring this year and he wants to experience it.
“Am I ruining my relationship with my boyfriend over not having kids?”
I’m 30 and my boyfriend is 31. We’ve been together for six years and living together for five. Before we dated, we were friends for two years. I love him a lot. He’s my best friend and I’ve always seen a future with him.
From the very beginning, I’ve been clear that I don’t want kids. I don’t hate kids, I just don’t want to be a mom. I’ve never hidden that. It’s something I’ve talked about openly, even with our friend group.

The Dumping Grounds
“I found out my daughter isn’t mine”
About a month ago, an old friend of my fiancée came to me and said my one year old daughter might not be mine. She told me that when my fiancée first found out she was pregnant, she admitted there was a chance the baby belonged to another man she had been sleeping with at the time.
This completely contradicted everything I thought I knew about my fiancée. I’ve known her for five years and believed she was faithful, honest, and loving. But the doubt stuck with me, so I got a paternity test. The results came back, and I am not the father.
“I’m sleeping with a married woman”
I’m 22 and I’ve been sleeping with a 50 year old married woman, and I can’t seem to stop. I know it’s wrong, but I’ve never experienced anything like this before. She’s been married longer than I’ve been alive. I started pursuing her when I was 18, and this year it finally happened.
At the same time, I’m talking to a woman my age who is honestly amazing. She’s everything I could want. I’ve always been a bit rough around the edges and hard to love, but she accepts me.
“I came home to my girlfriend with 3 random guys that I dont know, who spent night at our place”
A few days ago, I had a job event where I had to go alone and spend the night away. My girlfriend mentioned she might have a girls’ night while I was gone but wasn’t too sure yet.
Anyway, the next day after my event, I texted her that I was driving home. She didn’t respond because her phone was dead and she was still sleeping.
When I was almost home, she called me and asked where I was. After telling her I was almost home, she informed me that there were three guys I had never met or heard of at our place and that I should come in and meet them.
