I’ve(32M) been in denial about it for years. Clinging to the hope that, maybe someone will come along that However, it’s become more and more clear that I’m just not enough to be with anyone.
I don’t check anyone’s boxes. I’m too short. I’m ugly as sin. Despite my efforts trying to lift, work out and grow, I look and feel like a skinnyfat blob.

“I can’t even afford rent anymore.”
Our rent is only 450, but we still can’t afford it. My husband rides a bike 20 miles a day just to go to work. I can’t find a job, we are 750 in the hole with our landlord. I’ve tried loans and cards. Nothing. We can’t afford to live anymore
edit: We both have addictions that we both don’t want to get rid of. I don’t mean crack or meth. I mean like weed, vapes, beer and cigarettes.
“Girlfriend wants to do a sexual favor for her friend to make him feel better, what do I do?”
So this guy, who we’ll call B, has been friends with my girlfriend for a while. She had told me that two years ago they exchanged nudes because he came to her for help in taking better dick pics and she sent him nudes to make him more comfortable (her words). They however haven’t spoken in a while.
Well recently his dad passed away and my girlfriend found out about it, and ever since she’s been trying to be there for him. I just found all these next parts so I may get them wrong but here’s a rough outline of what happened.
“My wife commented on my penis size and it’s now ending our marriage”
34M & 34F married for 6 years. Everything was going good until my wife made a comment about my penis size last year.
I didn’t care at first but after a while problems started to occur. First thing is I couldn’t get hard at all for her. I could think of other women and get hard for them but not her.
She apologized right after her comment but it didn’t work. I went to 2 different therapists this year and we also went to marriage counseling but my thing will just not work with her.

“Tired of my broke boyfriend”
My boyfriend made a lot of money with crypto, and because of it he’s also lost it all. We’ve been together for 8 years and I’ve supported him through all the ups and downs, and I wonder if my loyalty is worth it.
I’m(f28) and seeing my friends move in and get married with well adjusted/normal men is making me resent my boyfriend(m28).
He worked one bad office job at 20 and decided he never wanted to do that again. He quit college and decided to pursue entrepreneurship instead. A couple of failed businesses, and a dangerous ride during the crypto era have left me exhausted.
Two years ago, when I was broke and looking for a job, he decided to take us on a trip. We had a great time and I paid for all my expenses with money that my parents gave me, but he paid for the accommodation. Now, he has just charged me for my “contribution” to the trip. He’s so broke he’s now inventing charges out of thin air.
“Wife renamed contact of ex boyfriend in phone to hide it from me.”
So my wife had this ex boyfriend before me. While we were in the dating stage, I would constantly hear everything about this person. I knew his favorite food, about his family, etc. he was just perfect in all ways.
I was not particularly the jealous type, but this started to make me feel weird. At first I was told she broke up with him because he was jerk. Turns out is was because she wanted a life with him and he wanted a weekend good time.
Well, conversations about this guy continued for a year. Finally I had enough and blew up. I told her I no longer wanted to hear about what shoe size the man had or how his closets were neater than mine.
I discovered that she still had his contact information saved in her phone, along with cute photos of them that gather for his contact photo. i assumed she was still talking with this guy.
She said she was nor and the contact information was there so she could ask for travel details from vacations she had taken previously with him.

“Bothered about new Girfriend’s ability to lie”
I (29m) have been seeing this woman (34f) for about 2 months now and everything seems to be going well. We are teetering on entering the “boyfriend/girlfriend” stage, but we spent this weekend together and something happened that freaked me out a little.
I had bought us a bottle of her favorite tequila to enjoy together over the weekend and we drank a little bit Friday night. Saturday we spent the morning + afternoon at my place and I noticed she was extra affectionate and slurring her words a bit. She smelled of alcohol but I thought maybe she was just sweating out what we had drank the night before.
She fell asleep on the couch once when I was home and when I came back from a mid-afternoon haircut she was also passed out. Again, I thought nothing of it because we were just having a lazy day. Fast forward to later that night when we get back from our dinner date, I ask if she wants a shot of that tequila; she agrees. I walk over to the fridge to find almost the entire bottle drank. When I asked her about it she said she didn’t touch it and didn’t know what happened to it.

“Husband quit job to day trade”
Last time he did this he took out a loan for $20000 and lost every penny of it. But that was 17 years ago. “He’s learned so much” since then. He has an arrogant attitude and doesnt work well with others. I guess i should of put my flair as VENT. Im so frustrated. I hear nothing but bad things about it. Meanwhile i will be going to my 9-5… Some one reassure me people can actually make a living from this?
“Is it weird to ask a friend to pay you back after 6 years?”
She owes me $1000 dollars. She’s like basically my best friend since elementary school though I don’t see her too much anymore.
I haven’t asked her to hang out in a few months but she hasn’t asked me either. Both late 20s.
She asked me to borrow money for gas like a month ago ($30) and never paid me back either.
Im moving out soon so that extra $1,000 would really help me out though most likely she won’t pay it. Should I ask for it back? I’m trying not to be a push over anymore.

“My parents are burning through an inheritance. Is it OK for me to unhappy?”
Both of my parents are only children. Not only this one of my parents was the sole heir of several aunts and uncles. All of my grandparents grew up in the depression and were very conservative with money, drove cars for a long time, lived within their means, saving money, etc.
On the other hand, my parents made horrible financial decisions throughout their life, frequently guilting their parents into giving them money. The house I grew up in was given to my parents by my grandparents (who were not rich).
