This is the most saddest story I can tell because it broke up my family but two years ago my dad got in serious gambling debt with bad people, and if he didn't pay them their money they were going to do God knows what. My dad has had a gambling problem since back before I even knew. I'm sure he got it from his uncle who used to gamble back when they lived in Iraq before migrating here. So my dad went to the only guy he knew could help with that much money and I'm not going to say his name but he's a pretty resourceful man in Detroit, and he's black so I never thought he could be my mom's type type since she's middle eastern and we normally stick to our own. Anyway the only deal he would give my dad was to be able to take my mom out for a date and bring her back to his house for the night, and he would get him the money. I didn't know about this when it was going on but I guess my dad and mom both agreed since they had no choice because it was a life or death situation. Well after he had her for the night she was never the same towards my dad and she was acting funny then eventually we found out she had still been dating that guy a month after. Then she filed for divorce and it still breaks my heart to this day. It broke my whole family's hearts. What went wrong? Its been 2 years and she's probably going to marry this damn guy. I have tried time and time again to convince her that what she's doing is wrong and she belongs with my dad. I can't take it I miss how life used to be

Not in high school anymore so it's not like anyone will see me

We've known each other almost 2 months. He was training at my job's location to be a manager at another location. In the time we've known each other, we've gotten along really well. We flirt A LOT. Mainly bickering or playful teasing. He would walk by and tap me on the shoulder and act like it wasn't him or he would "accidentally" get water on me. The last time, he got water on my shoes and was like "you made a mess" playfully so I playfully smacked him on the back. He also seemed to be very concerned about my love life. He saw that my brother came and picked me up from work one day recently (I have a suspended license) and he didn't know that was my bro. The next day, he asked if that was my "dude". Also, he made fun of the fact that my boyfriend took me to McDonald's for dinner one day recently and I told him how I told my boyfriend he doesn't have to take me somewhere fancy all the time. He also made several comments about a hickey my boyfriend gave me. He left a few days ago to start at his location. On Thursday, one of his employees came by to get something from us and said that he (the guy) was starting there today and that mistakes that the former manager made, were hitting him hard. I messaged him saying I heard that was his first day there and I wished him luck. He said "Thanks :P " Yesterday, he came by to get some paperwork and as soon as he walked in and we saw each other, he was smiling. We flirted a little while he was there. We became friends on FB the evening of his last day and he hasn't tried interacting with me (other than when I wrote him). I'm kind of surprised. Why do you think I'm suddenly non-existent to him? And non-judgmental answers only. I know how it sounds, but still. I'm 28, he's 41. They don't have kids.

I really like this guy and we've been talking for 3 months now. I'm goin on vacation where he lives and we've been planning on meeting but yesterday he left me on read and this afternoon, he only sent me a photo of himself. And so I sent one back and all he put was a wink face emoji. I had nothing to reply to. So I've just left the conversation. I'm not sure what's happening

So this former college classmate and current Facebook friend sent me this video about s&m, saying it made her think of me.

This may sound odd to some of you, but having met someone I really liked the other day I became curious and decided to look at his social media. I go there and find 5yr old photos of an ex and countless and I mean countless 2-3yr old photos of him with various women. I have no idea who these women are; he's at a pool party and in others at some other party. These women have their hands around his neck. He's leaning into them. He's holding their waists. I'm horrified. Everyone has a past, myself included, but what impression is he trying to make? I can't unsee any of these photos. I'm especially baffled by why he'd keep ages old photos public in such a way where, notably, some innocent woman wants to date him in the future and has no choice but to get an eyefull of that. I'm glad I learned of this before we got serious. I am just not comfortable going deeper with someone who'd keep this type of memoriabilia available for show, or just that he's so close to different women. Some may argue this was "a long time ago" but why is it still there now?! I checked the girls' accounts and none of them have photos of themselves with him. In fact most of them are in photos with their SOs, and ironically enough, no photos of him... Should I overlook this? I won't be able to get over it.

I'm 34, he's 38. We've been together for 18 years (never married) and have 2 kids. I've been at the same job for 13 years and I pay 90-100 percent of the expenses. Everything is in my name. He's quit or lost every single job he's ever had during this time and is getting deeper in debt for stupid stuff. Most jobs only last 2 weeks because he either points out for attendance (court dates or just calling off too many times). He's cheated in the past and even had a baby on the side 9 years ago. I never met and don't want to meet the child. He's trying to be a better man but he just can't keep a job. I feel used because he gets by without paying bills and gets to play video games all day. I'm not attracted to him anymore, I never want sex but give in a couple times a month. I keep thinking that the next job will be the one that solves our problems but he just told me yesterday he's about to quit the job he just started 2 weeks ago because he's not working for $200/week. Im worried he'll flip out or get violent if he realizes he's about to lose everything. I'm a good woman, been faithful since day 1 and know I deserve better. Our kids don't even like him. Most days he doesn't speak to them other than to tell them to clean up or go get him something. What would you do or say? I've told him a million times I need his half on the bills but I can't get through apparently. Thanks.

Okay so I've already predicted the hate hahaha, but suppose my parents are extremely loaded, and I mean VERY over the top....loaded as in I know extremely wealthy (intellectuals as in CEO's, The Obamas), open credit cards, get you into an Ivy league, vacations in switzerland, private jets, massive mansion, vacation houses in Lake Como, Aspen, and Ibiza and house/apartments in Mexico, NYC, and San Francisco (you get the point). Anyways, considering that I know we don't even need as much as we have, and could live perfectly fine with seriously so much less, would it be wrong for me to steal? The thing is last summer I took one of my dad's credit cards (bc mine has a limit) and took off to Europe for two months. My dad eventually found out and after my personal vacation caught up with me and we travelled together for another month. The thing is, tons of people have been hating on what happened and I just can't seem to wrap my head around it

I've a female friend her anivery is 3 October but the husband don't celebrate with her anymore Is it because the husband like another girl but not his wife already

Have a fanatical Baptist acquaintance turning into a stalker. 1) Calls my phone frequently. Leaves 1-3 min messages up to 4 times a day. 2) Brings up marriage constantly even tho I've told him I will never marry. 3) Asked to meet my parents. (I refused) 4) Showed up at my work when I didn't return his calls 5) Looks for me around town frequently. AND ADMITTED IT! 6) Called me every day this week and left messages because I told him I was too busy to meet with him. (And I seriously am. Nvm I also don't want to.) 7) Tried to find out where I live. (I simply lied and take 5 different routes home.) 8) Has invited me to his church, to meet his friends, etc like 15 times. Other pertinent info: He's in his mid 50's. I plan on insulting him so he goes on his own and thinks it's his idea. Thinking drinking around him and telling him to "f@¢k off" may work. Also planning on a restraining order if that fails. Best advice on getting rid of him?

I want to go away from home and f any hot mom that is down. Here in south cali I'm all suppressed but maybe if I went to florida where everyone is doing it and its sunny a beach weather and drinking beer then I will improve my chacnes. Honestly this is another sick thing, I feel bad but not ashamed for society, but bad only for myself, I'm 22 and the reason I am avoiding a relationship that might be good with a woman is because I think the experience will be bad and I will be turned off for life. My delusion is that I want my first sexual relationship to be away from home so I get the right type of experience, I want to be in charge. How can I possibly wear the pants in the relationship if I'm living around my butthurt ***, whiny, fussy parents, mostly my mother. Who I never got along with, I have no respect for my mother, but I love my dad because he doesn't complain all the f* time. I just can't believe he would marry someone so useless. Maybe he has a mental issue too.

I didnt respond yet but they texted me asking if I can walk the dog because they are going on vacation. I dont have the key anymore because they took it back when the husband wasnt home and the wife forgot her house key and got locked outside and never gave the spare key back. What do i do about this?

But I don't really like Tomy I was just being nice?

Background: 41 year old married man, James, was training at my store to be a manager at another store. I'm 28 and have a boyfriend, whom hasn't been my boyfriend long. James was with us for almost 2 months, but had his last day Tuesday. During the time he was with us (by the way, it's food service..not an office), he often made jokes and was playful. I believe he was far more flirty with me, though, than any other of my coworkers. I've seen his wife and I was closer to his type, than the other woman we work(ed) with. He went as far as showing slight jealousy towards my boyfriend, including making several comments about a hickey my boyfriend gave me. When he left (early) on his last day, he didn't say goodbye and that hurt. I friend requested him on Facebook that evening and he immediately accepted it. Today, one of his coworkers dropped by our store to drop off his work keys and she said today was his first day there and that he already seemed to be having a stressful day. I wrote him and said that one of his employees dropped by and had mentioning it being his first day and I wished him luck. He replied with "Thanks :P " (tongue sticking out emoji) I warned him that another coworker was planning to prank call his store and to go along with it, if she does. All he said was "ok". When we worked together, he barely left me alone, but now he's not as interactive. Why is that? Do you think the flirtations we had at work meant nothing to him? *mentioned He is still going to come around because we borrow stuff from other locations and they borrow stuff from us. He came this morning and was smiling ear-to-ear when he saw me when he first came in.
