RELATIONSHIPS

How would you feel if your mother opened your children’s birthday cards and made her own decision on what would happen with the money?

Yesterday, I went clubbing for the first time...... (bad idea)!!!! I got drugged and blacked out for the whole night. I could barely remember half of the night. (I couldn't even remember the cab driver's face or the guys that safely called us a cab). I was struggling to remain conscious enough to call a cab. I didn't know where I was. I didn't remember where the cab driver dropped us and I didn't remember where my dorm was. I know I was kissed cause my mouth hurts. Now my boyfriend is angry at me because I shared a non-consensual kiss. How do I make him understand its not my fault?

Me and my boyfriend were friends prior to us dating, I knew him for about a year before we started dating and we’ve been dating for 3 months. Me and him were very close before and he had became friends with me because my best friend introduced him to me. He confessed he had feelings for me but I wasn’t in a good place at the time to reciprocate feelings, But the more we talked the more i started to like him. When we started dating he constantly wanted to be around me which was fine but it was too much because at times i needed space and time for myself it felt as if he was suffocating me. When i would tell him I would call him later because I needed to shower, You could tell he was getting upset and he would be like ‘why don’t you just bring it with you are you hiding something ’? How do I get him to stop being so clingy?

My fiance has changed his preferences to directly fit in to a female coworkers of him. He gets a new job after being unemployed for a while due to mental health and starts working with a 23yo named "Chrissy". He talks about her just like he talks about all his other employees. No suspicious behavior in the beginning. But then shit just changes quick. Like he is not a dog person at all and has expressed multiple times that he never wanted one but all the sudden, out of the blue, he "needed" a dog and was constantly looking up photos of dogs or watching tiktoks of dogs and low and behold, we now have a dog. The connection there is that Chrissy brings her 3 dogs to work every day and only posts on social media about how much of a dog mom she is and how she can't trust anyone who doesn't like dogs, or can't be with anyone who doesn't like/have "doggos". Second thing.. Matt doesn't drink often and when he does, he is strictly a whiskey drinker. He hates anything pumpkin flavored and hates beer. He all the sudden started bringing home pumpkin head beer every single weekend. This was shortly following Chrissy posting on FB about being upset because she ran out of Pumpkin Head and had to drink a different beer or whatever (I only know her posts because she added me on FB some months back). Am I being paranoid?

SEX
Girl said she wanted to be “sexually disrespected” in bed. What exactly is she looking for? Im
open minded but I’m looking for specific things she would want me to do to her? What do you like? Don’t want to take it too far but at the same time don’t want to be boring.

Hi I’ve been in a relationship for 7 months and my girl is on BC and one other medication and ever since we started doing sexual stuff 4 months ago I haven’t gotten her wet at anytime during the 4 months we been doing it. The days I ask her about it she tells me she likes it and I shouldn’t worry about it and it’s her medication that’s causing her to be really dry. Also when we have sex we have to use extra stuff just for me to get in. So is this bad and should I be doing stuff about it or should I just listen to her and keep doing the same old stuff?
I am a new mom of a 6 month old, but during my pregnancy I didn't have much of a sex drive at all and that was very not me....but now it's hitting me all at once all these hormones and my sex drive is crazy but I currently am not in a relationship with my baby's father so I am getting nada. I feel like all I do is take care of my baby and see the occasional friend but when I do have a spare moment to myself all I want to do is have sex .... I'm tempted to reach out to other people I know and start flirting and what not but I don't want to be like that ...that is not who I am. I am the relationship type but all I can think about is sex and even when I am sitting there doing nothing I get aroused just by the slightest thought of becoming hot and heavy with even a stranger ....God what is wrong with me. I feel like a bad mom for even thinking of doing that ...let alone what if I can't control myself one day and end up screwing the mailman for heaven sake lol But seriously would it be slutty of me to have a random hook up with a baby so young?

What is off limits during Periods?

PARENTING

My first grader came home yesterday telling me that this year they aren’t allowed to play tag because someone could get hurt. I’m actually kind of upset about this. Why have recess at all? I don’t want to be the bitchy mom but I honestly want to bring this up to the teacher. Should I?

My kiddo shares their birthday with Thanksgiving. Most people are traveling or have family plans around that time. I’d still like to do something small and special with family on their real birthday but throw the birthday party with lots of kids on their half birthday. But it is kind of weird. How would you feel if your kid was invited to a half birthday party?

Messy divorce. Ex-husband has two kids from previous marriage. One is 16 and brand new behind the wheel. He wants her to pick up our 6 year old son. I told him I wasn't comfortable with that and would be happy to meet him or have my folks meet him at a convienent location. Now he's pissed and saying I am being unreasonable. Plus custody agreement says responsible adult for transportation. Am I being unfair here?

My 4 year old is on her 4th day of school today. She's been really cranky after school and struggles to behave and regulate emotions. Like my kid went from easy going to having meltdowns when she's told what to do. She's also given me a lot more attitude. Last night she also woke up screaming and crying asking for me to cuddle her. What's going on??

WORK

I have a meeting next week to renew my contract and the manager asked me to do a report of any achievements/successes I’ve had in the last few months ahead of said meeting. Any advice for what should be included or how I go about this?

Suppose you anticipate being asked where you’re going, why you’re leaving, and if you’ll attend an exit interview. And suppose there’s no merit to answering these questions, and you’d like not to. How can you politely refuse? Without burning bridges, I’d just like to shrug all this off.

I (25f) have been working as a Graphic Designer since I graduated college. Graphic Design and Art have always been passions of mine, but after entering the job field I've just found more annoyance and frustration working in this field than pleasure. Awhile ago I was working with clients directly through a company that employed me. The pay was awful and taking clients was miserable. I decided to find something new and I'm now working in the marketing department in an office building as the Graphic Designer, so I'm no longer taking clients. However, I've found the direction (or lack there of) from my supervisor to be infuriating and not much better than dealing with a client. I'm not able to have any creative freedom, and the repetition of creating ad after ad using the same formula has me bored out of my mind. What do I do now?

I've worked at my job for 2 1/2 years. I've had 17 days off sick because I have a medical condition I'm taking meds for. I normally get to work 5 days. Now I'm only aloud to work 3 days a week because my manager has worked out how much I've worked over the last 12 weeks and I'm now working that average if that makes sense to anyone?
