“I just found out wife secretly racked up $30k credit card debt.”

financial infidelity

My wife and I have been married for about 10 years and have two small kids. We both work, but we have separate bank accounts (partly because she is bad at managing money), though we do split bills, etc. My job pays a bit more. Recently, some bad financial stuff has come to light.

About 6 months ago, my wife revealed to me that she had racked up about $10,000 in credit card debt, and the interest was getting away from her. At the time she told me, it all suddenly made sense why she had been asking me for money at the end of the month for several months running—it was because she was struggling to pay off the debt. After a tough conversation, we got a low(er)-interest bank loan to pay off the credit cards, and we worked out a monthly payment plan to get it paid off within 3 years.

“I cheated on my girlfriend, and I deeply regret it.”

I had cheated on the woman I was dating for about a year and half. Not going to make excuses it was a really stupid thing I did. I broke her heart and I felt so horrible when she found out. One of her friends told her since word got around. She broke up with me.

That was about six months ago. I haven’t been dating at all, despite it being my fault my heart still hurts. I truly fucked up such a good thing. Obviously I didn’t deserve her but I still miss her.

The Surprising Power of Writing Your Own Eulogy

terminal illness

Look, I get it. Thinking about your own death is pretty fucking morbid. Most of us go through life desperately trying to avoid pondering our inevitable demise. We chase superficial highs, numb ourselves with booze and Netflix binges, and get lost in the daily grind – anything to avoid confronting the cold, hard truth that none of us are making it out of here alive.

How Not to Be Clueless When a Girl Is Into You

Look, I get it. As guys, we can be dense as hell when it comes to picking up on flirting signals from women. Maybe it’s because we’re so used to being the pursuers, or maybe it’s because our minds are clouded with constant thoughts of sex, but for whatever reason, a girl can be throwing herself at us and we’ll be like “Huh, I think she’s just being friendly.” Well, it’s time to pull our heads out of our asses and wise up.

“My husband lied about paying mortgage for almost a year.”

financial_infidelity

My husband (41m) and I (34f) have our finances pretty separate. We each have our own accounts and the only thing in both of our names is our house and his car. He makes about 2x what I make and we split expenses up in a way we both felt was fair and manageable for each of us while both working on our own personal credit card debt we brought into the relationship. One of the things he covers is the mortgage in full. He works in accounting and I work in education, I have never been great at managing my money so he does my monthly budget for me and has access to all of my accounts and knows what my debts are.

“Found out my Girlfriend of 1.5 years has been cheating all along”

cheating girlfriend

GF of 1.5 years fell asleep with her phone unlocked while I was still working, took her phone to plug it in and a notification popped up, some guy I’ve never heard about asking if she was alone. I went through the chats and it was it turns out she’s been hooking up with that guy for a few months, during her “girls nights”.

I dug deeper, checking any other male dm’s. Turns out that for the whole duration of our “perfect” relationship she’s been hooking up with a variety of different men. Some where total strangers she met on instagram, others were long time “friends” that she occasionally fucked, there was even a married guy that she’s been fucking regularly. She was also disrespecting me and sending them our private chats, complaining and seeking comfort when we had a fight or something didn’t go well for a few days.
