I (26M) just yelled at my girlfriend (24F) to stop eating, and she accused me of fat-shaming her. For context, my sister (23F) runs a bakery and struggles to keep up with the orders sometimes. I make some fillings at home and bring them to my sister to help her when I can. I kept finding my girlfriend dipping her fingers into marmalade or custard jars that I prepped for my sister on multiple occasions. I told her to stop contaminating the whole batch and at least use a spoon next time. I just found her dipping her fingers in my latest batch again and lost it.

I (26F) dipped into my savings to get my boyfriend (27M) a nice gift for his birthday. When I brought it to the party, he and his friends were stoked about it. One girl laughed and made a jealous comment about how she could also afford stuff like that if she had such a “colorful” past. I was hurt because I realized that my boyfriend must have told his friends about my past with some other guys, which he said he didn’t care about. I left, took the gift with me, and returned it. All of them are mad at me for not being able to take a joke.

I (27F) am a working mother, and my unemployed husband (35M) takes care of our 4-month-old while I’m away at work. My neighbour recently told me that the baby cries for hours every time I leave. I decided to see what’s going on, so I acted like I was leaving for work and snuck back in 30 minutes later. I found the baby crying and my husband sleeping with noise-cancelling headphones. I took the baby and left, then called him several hours later to tell him I was coming home early, and only then did he tell me he couldn’t find the baby. When I told him what I did, he got mad at me for causing him to panic.

My (16F) father (46M) is the “breadwinner” of the family. My mom handles all the chores around the home. Every day, when my father comes home, he finds stuff to complain about, like how the food is cold, and argues with my mom. I tried talking to him about it, but he wasn’t having it. One day, I put together a mock costume of him and paraded around the house, complaining about everything. My siblings and mom laughed at times, but my dad was embarrassed. He later complained about how I mocked and invalidated him.
#5
My (19M) friend (20F) recently got engaged and invited me to a costume party to celebrate. I like cosplaying characters and decided to go as the Corpse Bride from the animated film. When I got there, they surprised the guests by telling them that this was actually their wedding and invited everyone to the backyard for the ceremony. It went over smoothly, but I noticed that my friend kept ignoring and avoiding me. The next day, she sent me a text cussing me out for how I wore a wedding dress to her wedding and stole her spotlight.
#6
My husband and I have been in a long-term relationship. We are fairly comfortable financially and usually manage our finances separately. The problem is, he keeps going to food banks, using our beat-up car, and looking disheveled to save money. I tried explaining to him how many people could use that food more than us, because we often end up throwing a lot of it away, and we can afford it from the grocery store, but he insists on it. Our arguments have grown as of late, so I left to live with my brother for a week, and he’s mad at me for it.
#7
My boyfriend (31M) and I (27F) have been planning to move in together. I have a dog, and we’ve found it hard to find a landlord who would be okay with it. One of my friends is moving out and is willing to sublet the apartment to us, and we are both happy with it. The problem is, my boyfriend is bad with money and has no savings. We were about to sign the lease when he decided to sell his old car, which was still working fine, to buy a Corvette. When I asked him how much it cost, he said it’s none of my business. I knew where this was going because I’ve had to cover rent for him before, so I cancelled the signing. He’s pissed.
#8
I (26F) live in a block of new apartments. Everyone moved in a year ago, and we’re just getting to know each other. I have 2 young children (an 11-month-old and a 2-year-old), and there are many other families on the block, too. One night, at around 3 AM, someone started knocking on my door. I looked through the peephole and opened the door. It was my neighbour and his pregnant wife with their children. The wife was clearly in labor. They asked me if I could watch their kids while they went to the hospital. I refused, as I didn’t want the responsibility or risk my kids getting woken up. The guy was very mad at me, saying, “How can a mother watch another struggle?”

I'm wondering if anyone can say that the author of the post is to blame. If you are pregnant, you have a few months to prepare for the birth. Create an emergency plan. If you have actually just moved and have no work colleagues, acquaintances or family, you could have spoken to your neighbor weeks in advance. I would also refuse to supervise children I don't know about indefinitely. However, you don't know when the parents will return, you don't know whether the children have illnesses or allergies.

My sister (26F) is in a wheelchair, and I don’t want her at my wedding, because I know she will hog all the attention. I’ve noticed that she makes new announcements about her battle with a disease every time I have a big moment. My graduations, birthdays, and engagement party – she just loves taking all the attention away from me. Due to her sickness, she’s in and out of a wheelchair and plans to take it to my wedding. I had finally had enough and cancelled her invitation. This started a huge argument in my family.

My view here is that no one is really to blame. It is difficult not to invite the disabled sister because the reason is the disability. But I can understand it. I have a friend who crashes every celebration with her medical emergencies. We don't like inviting her because there are always difficulties. That sounds nasty, but I also just want to have fun and enjoy the evening. Without emergency services. No, it's not my responsibility to take care of her. She has old enough to know her own limits.

I (29F) recently travelled across the country for an incredible job offer. On the trip, I planned a getaway for my husband (33M) and my upcoming anniversary. In my absence, my husband decided to tamper with my closed bioactive terrarium, which is one of my favorite things that I have from my mom before she passed. I didn’t notice it right away, but it turns out he had opened it, poured a few cups of water in, and sealed it again. The roots are now rotting, and it’s all in terrible shape. Being very upset and needing time to try and salvage it, I cancelled our anniversary trip, which he got mad about, stating he was just trying to help.

A grown man saying, he just wanted to help you, is a red flag. In all their time together, has he never observed the handling, never asked questions, never been interested in something that is obviously so important to his beloved wife? At least he could just call his wife and ask if it needed watering? It sounds like malicious intent to me: See what happens when your work is more important to you, than I am to you. It's your fault for leaving me alone.

I (31M) was driving to work this morning, and getting close to my exit. I was about to switch lanes when a car suddenly sped up and blocked my access to that lane. I got annoyed and looked over. To my surprise, it was my wife (30F), smiling and waving at me. I was frustrated and about to miss my exit, so I didn’t smile or wave back. Later, she texted me how that made her upset. I figured it wasn’t a big deal and that the freeway at 7 AM wasn’t the place for showing affection, so I didn’t answer and went back to work. When we both got home, she was upset with me.
#12
I have a close friend who has social anxiety, so she hasn’t met my friend group before. She decided to come with us for once. I’m not sure why, but when she went out with us, she put on a completely different voice. My friends noticed, despite never having met her before, and asked me why she was doing this high-pitched voice. I admitted that she was faking it. Later, after the hangout, I asked her why she did it, and she played dumb, thinking no one noticed. She got upset when I told her that I had told my friends that she was faking it.

Being anxious can cause your voice to change, especially to a higher pitch. Not sure of course, but that might be the actual cause instead of deliberate faking

My brother (33M) and his wife (30F) have 2 young boys. My wife and I have a son, who’s a little older, so over the years we have given them quite a few things that he had grown out of. Way later, my sister-in-law mentioned that she had sold many of the items we donated to them as a “side hustle”. I told her that it was a crappy thing to do, because they were accepting the items as gifts for their kids, and that I would’ve rather donated them to mothers in need, if I had known earlier. She got very defensive afterwards.

I'm in a minority here, but once you give something to a person, it's theirs. You get no more say over what they do with it.

My boyfriend and I have been dating for a while now. We haven’t reached the final base yet, and he keeps asking me for explicit photos. I trust that he would keep them safe, but I’m not very confident in my physique, and I told him that those kinds of photos are not really my thing. Mind that I send him plenty of clothed pics. Now he’s complaining that everything is according to my choice and that I’m not respecting his needs.
#15
I (29M) just found out that my wife (27F) is pregnant via social media. We’ve been trying to conceive for 3 months, and now it’s happened. My friend congratulated me by sending me a screenshot of a post by one of my wife’s friends. I called my wife, and she answered with “I have news, babe”. I said, “I know, you’re pregnant.” She was surprised, and I told her that I saw it on social media, complained about her not calling me first, and hung up. Later, I found out that at least 10 people knew before I did.
#16
My wife (31F) and I (33M) just had our first child. My side of the family has a tradition where the firstborn gets a special stuffed animal. Once a child is old enough to start getting haircuts, their parents will save the hair. When the child becomes a parent themselves, the new grandparent will use it to make a stuffed animal for the baby. I got one from my mom, she got one from her dad, and so on. When my mom finished making the stuffed animal with my hair, I went to give it to my daughter, and my wife blew up at me, saying it’s disgusting and that she won’t let it get close to her daughter.
#17
My boyfriend (27M) and I (25F) live a couple of hours away from each other, leading to us staying at each other’s places for extended periods. He is genuinely the most generous person I’ve ever met, regularly befriending homeless people and volunteering in food banks. He was staying at my place when one day, after work, I came back to a stranger in my kitchen. I freaked out. Apparently, my boyfriend met this homeless guy on a walk and offered him to sleep on my couch for a few nights. I was uncomfortable living with a stranger, so I told my boyfriend that he could give him a hot meal and a shower, but he could not stay the night. My boyfriend later said I am classist and unwelcoming.
#18
My husband recently came back from a long business trip. I was out of town that day, and he had a gripe with me about leaving him with “no food.” I do most of the grocery shopping in our household, while he does other chores to make up for it. Now, I admit, the fridge wasn’t stocked full of his favourite meals, but there was definitely enough food in the freezer and the pantry for him to prepare something for himself. I thought it wasn’t a big deal, but he kept making jabs at me about it, and it has grown into a full-scale argument.

My (28F) cousin (23F) is getting married, and she asked me to do her makeup. She asked me what I would charge, and I offered to do it for free because she’s family and I wanted to be nice. However, I just RSVPed, and there was no option for a plus-one. I have a live-in, serious girlfriend and feel like I should be able to attend the wedding with her as my date, but the cousin said they’re at full capacity. I understand not allowing a plus one for everyone if it’s not in the budget, but as someone who is part of the wedding, I feel like I should be allowed a plus one.
#20
I (29M) live with my girlfriend (30F). We both had a hard day at work. I went to pick her up and cooked dinner when we got back. After dinner, she said she was too tired to clean up and went to take a nap on the couch. I said I don’t mind cleaning up myself, and so I did. Later, when I was done, she asked me what goes through my head when she’s napping. Apparently, I was too loud while closing the cabinets, vacuuming, and cleaning out the vacuum filter. We argued. I think she’s ungrateful for what I do for her, but she says it’s irrelevant to her question.

For cleaning up after dinner, huzzah! For vacuuming while someone taking a nap - boo.

My boyfriend (18M) and I (18F) have this ongoing argument about our hair. My boyfriend wants to buzz his hair off. I don’t think it would look good and urge him not to do it. He has been telling me that I should dye my hair a color that he would like better. We once made a deal that if he doesn’t buzz his hair, I will dye mine. I’ve been hesitant about switching hair colors, though. I like it the way that it is, and hair grows very slowly, so if I dye it, it will be that color for years. He said his feelings for me won’t last if I keep my hair how it is right now.
#22
I’m 22 and recently finished school. My dad helped set me up with a job opportunity through one of his contacts. It pays really well. The catch is that I’d have to move pretty far away and start over. I’ve built a life where I am now. My friends are here, I’m doing work I actually enjoy, and I’m generally happy. My dad thinks I’m being immature and wasting a huge opportunity. He says I’m prioritizing comfort and fun over my future. I feel like it’s my life and I should be able to choose the path that actually makes me happy, even if it’s not the most profitable one.
