I’m 42. In my 20s and most of my 30s, I lived a carefree life. I worked during the week and partied most weekends. I never had much money because I spent it traveling. I’d save enough for a plane ticket and a few months abroad, then come home when the money ran out and start over.
I drank around 7 to 14 drinks a week and occasionally used recreational drugs.

A woman I’ve been dating recently posted a mirror selfie on Instagram from the same place I took her on our second date. A guy from another city commented “😮💨❤️” on the photo. They follow each other, have been liking each other’s posts for months, and she deleted his comment about 30 minutes later.
That same day, she told me she was traveling to visit her grandmother’s friend in another town. A few hours later, she sent me a photo of the view from where she was staying, but it appeared to be from a completely different city. The guy who commented on her photo also lives there.

I’m 38M, my wife is 43F. With our son away this week, I’d been looking forward to spending some one-on-one time together. She ended up taking a short-term job out of town, which was disappointing, but I supported her. She asked me to come visit for dinner, which I thought was sweet, so I canceled my plans and drove a couple hours to see her.
When I arrived at her hotel, some of her crew were in the lobby. One asked if she was joining them for dinner, and she said, “No, I’m having dinner with my friend.” She didn’t introduce me, just gave me a quick hug and walked me upstairs. Afterward she explained that she had told her coworkers she was married, but in their group chat she’d said a “friend” was visiting because she thought it would look unprofessional to tell the director her husband was staying at the hotel.
My wife (27F) and I (28M) have a 9 month old daughter. My wife left her job to stay home with our daughter until she’s old enough for preschool.
Our daughter is on a pretty predictable schedule. Every morning around 6 AM she wakes up crying. I usually handle that because I have to get up for work anyway. I calm her down, get her back to sleep, then get ready for work. I leave for work around 7:30.

My wife and I have three daughters. Our oldest is 16, our middle is 14, and our youngest is 10. Everyone on both sides of the family has brown hair, brown eyes, and straight hair. Our oldest and youngest daughters fit that pattern, but our middle daughter has curly blonde hair and green eyes.
I’ll be honest, I’ve struggled to bond with her because I had doubts about whether she was biologically mine. Those doubts made it hard for me to connect with her over the years.

I’m in my 30s now and I’m starting to wonder if love is really real. Not only have I seen close friends and family be cheated on, I’ve been cheated on as well. It doesn’t seem to matter anymore. It seems like a romantic partner just can’t be trusted.
A couple of months ago I lost my job. It wasn’t a surprise, and honestly I was relieved. The job had taken over my life, and for the first time in years I felt like I had room to breathe. My girlfriend earns enough that we’re financially comfortable, so I decided to spend the summer working on a novel I’ve dreamed about finishing for more than a decade.
The problem is that since June started, my girlfriend has been pushing me to find another job. We argue about it almost every day. She says we need to save for a house and a wedding. I tell her that spending a few months focused on my writing is a far better investment than taking a random job just to bring in a paycheck.

The backstory is that my husband struggled with a porn addiction before we got married and had stopped for a while. About three years into our relationship, he relapsed and I caught him. That was when I learned he had been hiding it from me for about a year. It completely broke my trust, and we’ve been trying to recover ever since.
We’ve been married for five years. One of the biggest issues is that his porn use seems to have affected our sex life. He struggles with ED, and from what we’ve learned, porn addiction can contribute to that. He rarely initiates sex unless I’ve repeatedly brought up the issue, and we usually have sex only once or twice a month.
Last year, my wife gave me an ultimatum: either we opened our marriage, or we would divorce. I begrudgingly agreed to open it.
She almost immediately began a friends with benefits relationship with our daughter’s piano teacher. For most of that time, I felt miserable and depressed.

I’m a 42 year old man who still lives with my parents. I work full time as a software tester, own my car, pay my way, and contribute heavily around the house. I handle chores, help with groceries, do my own laundry, cook, and take care of the responsibilities that come with adult life. I’m not dependent on my parents. I simply share a home with them.
I’ve lived on my own before. I moved away for a job and rented my own place, but when that job ended, I came back home. Since then, I’ve found a stable job that’s going well, and I’ve used the opportunity to save money and build financial security. Living at home allows me to save while still enjoying hobbies and interests like movies, salsa dancing, technology, and video games.
