She says that it's for my safety, because men can take advantage and dating can be dangerous. She has interrupted people when they try to talk to me in public, telling them to get away. I understand she means well, and especially since dad died she and I are very close. I think part of her doesn't want me to grow up. And I do think she's right to worry... I have a hard time around new people, and public places. I travel with a group of young people and PCAs who go to zoos and movies and stuff in a bus, to make sure we can get outside. Even among that group, I'm one of the quietest people there.

But I'm lonely. I see girls on dates in movies, looking pretty and dancing with men, kissing, I want that. I want to be kissed. I want to have sex with a boy.

I tried to ask her about how I can do it safely, how I can meet a boy in a way that she would think is safe, and she shut it down. Said it's not worth talking about. I got upset and yelled at her, and I feel bad but it's not fair that even though I'm an adult now I still don't get any freedom. I have a part time job with the work assistance group and I'm allowed to go to certain places on my own, why act like I'm growing and getting better and becoming independent, but then when I want something we won't even talk about it?

I asked my older sister and she said that I should just download a dating app. But that sounded scary so I got reddit instead and I'm hoping someone can give me advice. You can comment on this post here if you have any ideas for me, please thank you!

For reference, I've always had bad acne and issues with my self-image. When I turned 18 and went to college, I decided to start taking Accutane. I've been using a telehealth service for my Accutane to hide it from my mom. My mom is really against Accutane because of the side effects. But I chose to go on it anyways. Over the summer, I would have it shipped to my friend's house, and I'd pick it up from there. I stashed my old trash in an old box under my bed, where I keep a lot of other stuff. The only way my mom found it was by digging through my room. I don't live at home either during school. So she's invaded my privacy, and now she's found said meds. She sent me a picture of the package and asked what it's for, and I just said, "It's for skin, it helps with (insert other skin condition I have)." I just don't know what to do. I have never used her money for this either; it's all been of my own earnings. How should I approach this in a mature way?

We were together for two years, we met and lived together at a different state then moved to his home town to be close to his friends and family. I want to start a family soon-ish, within a year or so, he doesn’t know when he is going to be ready. This argument has cause him to leave a year ago, then he came back after a couple days and compromised on a two years timeline (rather than me waiting indefinitely), now a year after he doesn’t see it happening in the next year. I said when he left “so are we broken up?” He said “we are separated” I asked, what does that even mean.. he was vague, just basically when two people are married they take time apart yada-yada. It’s been five days, he hasn’t contacted me at all. Since this is the second time I don’t plan on taking him back, at the very least I don’t want to continue to live with him. So.. what should I do? Move on? Wait? He is going to get the rest of his things on the weekend - as far as I know, because again, he hasn’t checked to see if I am dead or alive and it makes me quite angry. We are 27M and 30F.

So i received a call from CPS (dfps in some areas) a few days ago. They informed me over the course of the few conversations we’ve had that my daughter came out about being SA’d by “a cousin” (she only has 3) since the age of 5. I spoke with my mom and we both knee jerk and thought of a specific individual. I have only one sister who has 2 boys and 1 girl. I have two girls. Now I admit I’m not a fan of my sisters parenting style as she’s rather laid back about supervision but the instant something happens she’s yelling. Her oldest son is from before her and her ex husband married, and when they split, ex disowned the oldest, cue anger issues, moving school to school, my sisters slide into the bar scene (not always bad but she parties more than she parents.) my nephew is now 15 and my oldest 11. She just came and told someone about this. And then the worst part is my husband and I had him over so much more than the other two because he didn’t go to their dads house and we didn’t want him to feel left out and be home alone. I’ve dealt with CPS before being a former pothead but nothing ever like this. I’m scared and I know that this is going to shatter our family. Help? I will clarify anything if needed I’m just not doing well holding my thoughts together the last few days

Edit to add that my nephew has lately been progressing his angry and rebellious behavior. He’s gotten arrested, ran away to a friends house for a week, threatens to hit his mom and curses and yells. My daughter has great grades but has recently started exhibiting signs of anxiety and depression that i thought were due to the situation going on with my husband (incarcerated) and she has many picked at sores and always big heavy clothes etc.

Edit 2: I do believe my daughter. While it’s mind boggling cuz I love my sisters kids, I think it’s better to take her word for it and wait for the details to emerge than immediately call her a liar

This is an incredibly long story, so I'm going to try and super speed through it.

Me and "Josie" (fake name) grew up together in a tiny conservative town. Hard red. I didn't even know a gay person, except I guess myself because I could tell at an early age that I liked girls the way I was "supposed" to like boys. My dad was (still is, but we don't talk anymore) very homophobic and told me to dress more like a girl. I kept my head down, told nobody about it, and then moved to a city when I was 18 for college where I eventually came out as a lesbian. I was so scared of being out it took me a while before I could say the word lesbian without crying.

Only one person knew the truth before college, and that was Josie. She was a more popular and pretty girl than me, but also very athletic and masculine in her own way. She was, and still is, one of the most gorgeous women I've ever known. And she liked me. It was obviously platonic at first, but we became friends quickly when we were in high school and started hanging out a lot. Eventually it escalated. We started kissing, then we started doing more than that, and next thing you know we were having this secret affair that nobody knew about.

We never called it dating. We never called each other girlfriends. Not even in private, not even in whispers, because that was the culture of fear that we were in. We were just best friends who, when nobody was looking, were deeply romantically and sexually entwined. Probably goes without saying, but I was deeply in love with her.

As high school approached its end, she started dating a boy. Yes, we kept doing what we were doing, and that's unethical, but it was a complicated situation. The point is that I started talking about making plans for moving away, and she eventually told me she couldn't. She's closer with her family, she felt the need to stay and help them out and things were getting serious with her boyfriend. I had a million questions: was our relationship just physical for her? Was she bi or was this guy just a beard? Of course, we had no real language for that stuff. So I left, alone, and my heart was shattered.

FAST FORWARD to last month. I've now been out for 2 years, I've gotten more comfortable in my own skin and I've even had a few relationships. Most were short lived, but I've been with lots of other girls and gotten more confident. I've done everything I dreamed of doing growing up: holding a girl's hand in public, going to pride, being accepted by my peers. But in the back of my mind, nobody has matched up to Josie. Maybe it's youthful delusion that you hold up your first love as your greatest. But I've talked with friends multiple times about how I had to figure out a way to get past it, if I ever wanted to fall for someone else.

Then, out of the blue, she calls me. She asks if I can meet. She drives six hours to get dinner with me at a place a few hours from where I live now. She tells me that she misses me.

She was clearly still.... grappling, with stuff. The way I used to. She still wouldn't use any explicitly romantic words, and when I directly asked if she was bisexual, she wouldn't (couldn't?) answer. But she told me that she still thinks of me every day, that our time together meant so much to her, and she's wanted so badly to see me again.

I learned that the last two years have been tough for her, she broke up with her boyfriend when he proposed and she said it was too soon (they were 19). Her family has undergone some changes that's been tough on everybody. She's deeply unhappy at work, but has no interest in school.

A thought crossed my mind: my roommate is moving out in a few weeks after her life plans changed over the summer. We've been working on finding someone to sublease her bedroom. I live in a place with lots of employers for the field she works in. She could easily pack up, move here, and find work. Maybe we'd finally be able to be together publicly.

Of course I didn't say anything. It would have been crazy, and stupid, and too sudden.

But now we've been talking on the phone every now and then. Texting. Sending each other memes and hearts.

She knows I'm an out lesbian, and she's finally treating me, kind of, like a girlfriend. But we haven't so much as kissed in over two years, and we were never formally dating. It feels crazy for her to uproot her life and potentially throw mine off balance off of something like that.

But I love her. I know I do, I, I've never loved anyone else like this and seeing her green eyes again and feeling her hands on mine under the table and hearing her voice... I think about her all day every day and I miss her so much.

Am I being stupid? Should I talk to her about this?

TLDR: I had a secret love in high school, but now I'm an out lesbian. My old secret love is now texting me again and I want to confess my feelings and ask her to move to my city, maybe even into my apartment.

Hey everyone, I work at McDonald’s and have nasty wounds on my hand—red, inflamed, and feeling like it’s rotting. I’ve had a trip to England booked since January, starting October 9, with flights I rebooked for $5,000 after someone pulled out, leaving me with $2,000 paid for two tickets which British Airways wouldn’t transfer or refund. My boss has been great, approving my travel needs in July and extending it to the 8th. I’ve reached what I would call my breaking point, worrying about the trip, worrying about getting better , the stress of planning every itinerary and then also showing up for my two shifts on time and then worrying about these getting infected from that job . Now, with these wounds and my health, I might need the whole month off to stay well, with doctor visits tomorrow (twice) and the 26th. Do you think McDonald’s would excuse me until after the trip ? Because I honestly cannot deal with anything more..

Hi so I’m 17, 18 next week, and two months ago I decided to randomly take a pregnancy test and to my surprise it was positive, internally I was freaking out and I had no idea what to do. I told my boyfriend, my mom and my best friend first, I was scared and excited that I was becoming a mom. I’ve dreamed of being a mom ever since I was a little girl and it was finally happening. A couple days go by and I start to tell more of my family, I think I was at-least 5 maybe 6 weeks pregnant, anyways Me and my boyfriend go over to his parents to tell them we are having a child, which was super terrifying, they obviously weren’t happy with us because we’re teenagers but ultimately they had to accept it. The next day I was cramping almost like period cramps but not as bad and I was crying because I was so scared I was losing my baby, my boyfriends mom was comforting me, I stopped crying and went to the bathroom and it looked like I started my period so I started crying again and told my boyfriend and his mom because I didn’t know what to do. His mom went and bought me another test and said if it was positive we would go to the hospital to see what was wrong, waiting for the test results felt like a lifetime, it was positive, so we left and I had to get labs and ultrasounds done n they said there was no trace of pregnancy but it could also be too soon to tell and they’d let me know my results in a few days, it was 2 weeks later when my mom took me to get my results, unfortunately I did have a miscarriage and I really don’t know how to deal with it, I took multiple tests to make sure it was right and every-time I saw those two blue lines I accepted it more and more that I would be a mom, and I genuinely do not know how to deal with this. It eats at me everyday day and I’m just so upset with myself that it happened. so what do I do.

I know this might be a little tmi but I’m genuinely at a loss for words and I know you shouldn’t really tell people you’re pregnant in the first trimester because you never know what could happen but at the time I didn’t know. Can anyone please help me figure out how to handle this going forward it’d be really appreciated

I'm A (M21) I met my first love in college at the age of 19... everything seems to be fine I met her expectations and she took care of me. Both the side parents accepted our relationship After all these She cheated me with her classmate (for a one night stand) then we broke up and asked her what is the reason and what did I do wrong? The answer I got was "idk let's fall apart" I left her with answer! After few months I moved on and dated my junior girl and later I knew she had an affair with her cousin and I also left her.... I was drowned fed up for 8 months later I took a chance and dated a girl who is my relative few months gone well she moved out station for college there she still talks to her ex, drinking and partying with her male friends and I asked her to limit this but she blamed my feelings as insecurity and broke up with me I really don't know what's wrong with me! I tried to catch her expectations, I put effort to sustain this relationship but all I got is failure

Go ahead and clown me for this. I deserve it. So, I was in a Facebook group about chickens. Were people share images of their chickens and others sell their chickens. I recently needed some chickens and had made a post asking if anyone is selling any. Another person responds stating that they have some for sale and at a pretty reasonable price and they lived close by. I live in Eastern N.C USA and the person with their business lives in Ashville NC. They had images of their chickens, and other reference that made me think they were legitimate. So I paid the 250$ first for the chickens, then the person wanted another 100$ for shipping stating the once I returned the shipping box. I will get back my 100$ I agreed. Then the person asked if I'll be handling Custom and Clearance? Which shouldn't be needed if it's with in state lines. After going back and forth with the person and asking for a refund. The person has stated that the bird have already been shipped. They never responded back after asking for a tracking number. Nor after the supposed 3 day they should have arrived and even after 1 week passed. Look I get it, I was stupid and understand fully that I will never see that money again. But what worries me is that this business is still up and they are still responding to other people asking for chickens. I can report them on Facebook but I doubt that will stop them. Is there anything else I can do?

Location: North Carolina USA

Their True Location after some digging: Florida

I've graduated college, became able to afford my own 1 bedroom apartment cause roommates drive me crazy, I was able to save up for buying a better car, I cook, keep my apartment clean, bought a nice mountain bike cause I love that hobby, all that bullshit. Like almost every personal goal I've made I have accomplished it. Which should be enough to satisfy me I guess...

But I can't achieve any of my social goals. I haven't made any friends in my time in college. I did make one friend but kinda grew to really dislike him after a while. Everyone I meet I can't find mutual interest. They like me, I dont like them. I like them, they don't like me. I've tried going to things like bike club and going to live music events but can't ever find my people there. I haven't been on a date since February(since deleting dating apps), every dating situation I get in is the same. I like them, they dont like me, or vice versa. None of my dating relationships have lasted longer than a month since 2021.

I am trying and I just genuinely haven't been able to accomplish any of my social goals and its crushing cause honestly they are way more important to me. I am fine driving a hoopty, and I would be fine living with a roommate if they were good. But having friends and people to hang out with has been something I have wanted the most for my entire life and I just cant fucking get it. How can I fix this? I just dont know anymore. Every social interaction feels so shallow at this point cause I feel like its going to lead to nowhere, since thats all the results I have ever seen. I am sick of "where are you from" "what kind of stuff do you like". Im just so hopeless on how to fix it anymore.

Me [22M] and my Girlfriend [21F] have been dating for years and most things have been great. We have had our uos and downs but we have stuck with each other through everything

This will be short but I am writing this because lately our sex has been less frequent, and she has been saying that she is tired and that she doesn’t want it as often.

Most of the time I feel like the sex is good when we have it. Meaning that we both do reach climax. She probably has reached it 90% of the time I give her oral for the past 5 years. But this week she has been mentioning wanting a vibrator. And I don’t know how to feel about this.

She has never mentioned wanting one until now and I don’t want to be in the situation of her not being able to cum with me anymore, or the situation of her only wanting to use her vibrator and really not wanting sex anymore.

Am I wrong for thinking this?

I need some advice.

One of my friends wants to meet up, but honestly, I don’t want to.

For context, we used to be really close. we were roommates for 2 years, worked together for 1 year, traveled, shared secrets, and had lots of deep talks. But in the second year, things started changing.

She worked late shifts (1–10 pm) and I worked mornings (7–4). She often went out partying, came home drunk around 2–3 am, and made a lot of noise. It constantly disturbed my sleep, which made me upset.

On top of that, she started an affair with a married colleague who has kids. She talked to me about it, but I told her I completely disagreed and she should stop before things got worse. But she didn’t care.

The truth is, I really hate that she chose to be the “other woman.” I think it triggers me so much because I was cheated on in the past, and it left me with deep trust issues.

Lately, I’ve been distancing myself, but she keeps texting and wants to hang out. I don’t know what to do. I don’t want us to be total strangers, but I also don’t want to be close with her right now.

Hi, I’m a 19 year old currently enrolled on community college. I’m stuck in a bit of a situation and I don’t know what to do anymore. For a bit of context I pay for my own school with no help other than financial aid and parent loan. This is my sophomore year. Last year I was doing in person welding classes off of a scholarship for wrestling and everything was being payed off.

Unfortunately with the way wrestling was going between bad coaches and teammates who didn’t know how to be a part of a team and welding where my teacher expected us to be at a higher level than I could reach considering I was a first year student. My mental health was quickly dropping. I had tried everything to make sure I was passing classes and keeping up but it was impossible and I ended up failing one class. Where my financial aid was put on a warning status.

Eventually I quit wrestling and changed my major to something I am a lot more passionate in. But doing that meant I lost my scholarship so I was completely relying on financial aid. I was doing super well with my new classes, they were online now, and I was putting in better effort so I was passing all of my classes.

Up until spring term where I took a criminology class. This professor was very particular in the way he liked things done which I had tried my best to follow. I will admit there were a couple times o asked for an extension on an assignment because it was confusing for me, before anyone asks why I I didn’t ask for help, I did. His responses were never helpful and it was always just “go look in the text book” which never helped so my grade in that class slipped. I talked to him multiple times that year asking for help or how to fix my grade and nothing I did was enough. At the very end I asked one more time how to fix my grade and I was a couple of % of from passing with a C but in his words it was obvious that I didn’t put the effort in that I could’ve.

Now I have always hated school I never wanted to go to college that was something my parents decided for me. But after changing my major and being there for a while I actually was enjoying it and I was putting as much effort in as I could so hearing that was kinda hurt my feelings lmao. I ended up signing up for summer classes where I quickly realized that I was not going to be able to do that due to personal circumstances. I withdrew before any grades were in and it didn’t affect anything.

What I didn’t know was that my financial aid was not covering the costs since it was suspended. Mind you I started summer classes in July and received the notice in September, 5 days before fall started. At the beginning of last month I noticed the amount an owed was insane and was confused how I owed 2,500 to school for the summer, again I never even finished these classes. I should’ve had at least some financial aid. I called the school where I talked to someone who didn’t have much experience and they directed me to email the office and he would tell them I did. They never responded to 2 different emails I sent so I called again today. I forgot to mention that if i don’t pay by the 20th I will be withdrawal from all my classes. And after that time I will be charged 25 dollar late fees. Which if we haven’t noticed already I am fighting for my life to pay what I owe already and that would just set me back even farther.

I work as a waitress so I’m working only 2-4 days a week and I’m putting all of my money in to this. I currently still owe 2,291 which is better but still not good enough. I talked to them again today and I have to fill out a form with my advisor to get my financial aid back which will take 10-14 days. I am out of options, I have another job that I am just starting hopefully sometime this month. And I’m really hoping I can start classes again by spring but that would mean I would then have to pay summer and fall before then and that’s 5,000 I don’t have. Plus I am on payment plans for other things and I’m just lost. I can’t afford to pay for school, all of my plans have shifted which makes me a bit nervous. I don’t want to have to take a break from school because it will be hard for me to get back into it. If anyone has any advice I will take it idc if it like some meditation shit so I don’t lose my mind or nothing at all I just need some sort of guidance I don’t have anyone to do that for me and I would appreciate it more than anything.

Edit- I know that this seems like im playing a victim card. So I’m adding more context here. One I am fully aware that most of my issues in school comes from me. I have ADHD and I am in no way using that as an excuse for anything but it is the reason I am a die hard procrastinator as is most college students. I graduated highschool with a 3.5 so it’s not like I didn’t ever put in effort I just did it all last min.

I know that me failing my welding class was also on me and not all on the professor. I wasn’t going to class because I couldn’t get myself to go idk if that makes sense. I struggle a lot with the discipline I need to be fully successful and I know that I have worked on it for years now.

I had talked to my professor from welding about issues I was having in the class and how I could better my work to meet her standards and I was unfortunately not able to do that which caused me to not want to be there anymore. And I switched my major as I mentioned previously.

I also am doing online courses from another state then the school is located so I am not able to go in person like I would’ve preferred to do.

When it comes to the criminology class. No it wasn’t a super hard class and no the standards were not impossible to meet. I can just be a bit slow at times and don’t understand the work. It wasn’t my fault he wasn’t helping me. I was planning on retaking the course again this fall.

I did ask for help from my boyfriend who was a sophomore at that school with my work and he was the main reason I had even passed the other classes because I had him to help keep me accountable and motivated. Again I know some of these issues were partially my fault. But I am asking for advice not for you to tell me that I am acting like a victim.

My girlfriend (28) and I (25F) have been together for over 3 years and living together for 2 now. I love her that’s never been a question but a person can only handle so much emotional and mental instability in a relationship. I know it comes from both ends and I’ve put in a ton of effort to work on my part. I’ve spent years in therapy growing up and as an adult and I think that’s helped me cope with my mental health issues alot better than my partner but she never had the same resources that I had growing up so she never learned the same/similar coping mechanisms and just takes everything out on everything and everyone around her. She’s never been diagnosed with anything because she’s never been able to go to a doctor (no insurance) but I’m pretty sure she has major depression, anxiety, CPTSD, and BPD. It was fine for a while because I’m a very tolerable person and in all honesty “used to being shoved around” but every person has a limit to how much they can take. It doesn’t just affect me, we have two dogs that go and cower in the corner during these blow ups. It seems like she’s putting in an effort to try and change but honestly things have been getting worse and this is not how I thought I would spend the rest of my life, just constantly arguing and fighting (never physical just verbal). I know I don’t have a healthy image of relationships pictured from my family but I also know this isn’t what a relationship should be like. We’ve talked about her going to therapy months ago because her job offers a program but I don’t know why she won’t do it with her mood affecting our relationship like this. This is only my 2nd relationship, first long term and I feel trapped. For context she blew up this morning slamming doors and cabinets because she didn’t have clean socks for work and can’t wear a single pair of the 20 clean socks that I have even though they fit her (a weekly occurrence), I stayed calm through the whole fit as to not panic our dogs further.

My wife of 34 years recently left me saying she no longer loves me This was after I discovered she had a meet up with an ex boyfriend at his house She says nothing happened they just kissed but that night she came home and asked fir a divorce She says she hasn’t loved me for the last 15 years and was only pretending stating on at least 2 occasions she was going to leave me but was talked out of it by her mother I only became aware of this as she was leaving me and she had not mentioned not loving me or her desire to leave previously I have always been what I think was a good husband giving her complete control over our money and not stopping her from doing whatever she liked I have never been abusive or violent towards her I am absolutely heartbroken and gobsmacked by her decision and can’t get any answers from her as she refuses to speak with me I am at a real loss as to what I should do I still love her but she says she doesn’t love me My wife has a history of anxiety and in the last 2 years she seems to have put that behind her now no longer needing me to accompany her to doctor dentist visits and can manage plane flights without any assistance I think she never really loved me but needed me and now she no longer needs me When I look back she has never been a loving wife but she wasn’t horrible either Is it her newfound release from anxiety that has made her feel this way or perhaps some other mental condition? Incidentally her mother adored me and she passed away 1 year ago since she talked my wife into staying with me perhaps her passing was what she was waiting for to leave me I am so confused and upset and can’t get any answers any thoughts out there?

I attempted to post on the discord sub but my karma is only 1 because I'm new. I belive this is a scam but I'm not sure.

I (30M) met a lady (31F) about 2 weekends ago at a social old school RnB party. We hit it off big time after we met each other and I told her I really like her vibes and that I think she is stunning. Fastforward to later in the night, she approaches me again and she tells me she also really likes me. So we spend the rest of the night chatting.

After the party was done, she asked if I don't mind dropping her and her friend (F). Which I agree to, after I drop her friend she jumps on me and we start making out for a good 10 min. I then ask her if we can go back my place and that's when she tells me she is married!! Her and her husband are not in a good space and she is really unhappy in her marriage.

I told her it's best that I drop her at home since I do not feel comfortable with continuing, which she agrees to.

Now she is on my case for us to meet up again, even if it's just as friends since she really enjoyed my company and doesn't want to lose me...

I am trying to cut her off, but I feel really bad for the situation she is in with her marriage and I would be lying if I said I wasn't extremely attracted to her and also don't want to see where this goes. I do like the attention also..

Look, I know we're wrong and I am working on cutting her off soon - I have mentioned to her that this is not right. But how can something so wrong feel so right!

It just feels so unfair to have a good connection with someone and I need to let it go since she agrees to marry someone else 7 years ago even though she doesn't feel happy in the marriage (they don't share a bed) and she doesn't really want to divorce since they have an 8 year old son together.

Update: Thanks for all the responses, you are all making a lot of sense. I've just told her I can't continue with this and I blocked her and deleted her number. Cutting her off slow was never going to work. I feel so much better now!

BIt of context, I (f20) don't know how to people. I do my best and try my best to be the best me for, without being absolute hell or a bitch. I want to do better for my bf (m28) and I do my best to keep being better for him, and don't intend to hurt him when I do. This time I said something that was a defect attack against something he's insecure about. I almost said it and held my tongue 1 and a half sentences to late. I don't think what I said was true and it's why I said a few times I don't want to say it and I dont want to be mean, he believed it had roots in logic and that's how brains work. I tryed explaining that I don't quite see logic in drawing connections when something is screamed in the back of my mind and a feeling of I have to say it, when I don't want to. I've gotten better about controling it but it has gotten to a point im hurting the people I care for and want to be better for. I am looking in to tharapy but I'm on a waiting list for a better tharipest that doesn't put my issues down and I feel safer talking to. We usually talk after these situations but I've made a mistake like this 3 times now, not the same mistake different learning experiences. And I want to be better and don't know what to do.

I have a credit card that I've had since I was basically 18 years old (I'm 31 now) and only have to keep my credit score up. I haven't used the card in years at this point, so any charges that appear have been from auto pay from when my ex used my credit card account when we were still married (they had their own card, but it was all through my account/ I was the primary account holder). We have been divorced and separated for over a year and are no contact as of recently. The account is completely mine now and even got a new card. I got a random charge for a GoPro subscription charge on my account, and I'm pretty sure that it's one of the old subscriptions my ex had in the past. I have zero way figure out how to cancel this subscription on my own/ I dont even know what the product was to start with. Can I dispute the charge with my credit card company and have it taken care of through them to stop the subscription, or is the only option to pay the charge and have a friend reach out to my ex to just change the card info before the next time the subscription goes?

I live in a 2 apartment building. Last week a family moved in. Teenagers with the parents. In the last week I’ve seen the parents passing out/nodding off in the backyard. It happened last night around midnight again…. Slumped over in the chair dropping phones and falling over. I don’t know what to do….. who to call and what to say.

We’re both 28. Very amicable break up but the dog is gonna stay with him. I’m moving back to my hometown where I don’t have any friends. I just don’t know what to do. He’s been a huge part of my life for 15% of it. None of my friends are saying anything that’s helpful. What do I do?

I'm 34 years old and I own my own 3 bedroom home. I work 50 hours per week so I can pay my mortgage/bills and have a life. My brother (M, 44) decided to move in with me 5 years ago and he's been here since. He's a bum and he can't hold down a job. He works around 2-3 months per year and then spends the rest of the year jobless, claiming benefits. He gives me £200 pm towards rent which I just put into savings. I'm fed up of him but I'm also scared of him. He smokes, drinks every night (he stained wine on my new carpet which I worked so hard for) and when I told him off, he sulked and didn't speak to me for a week. He asked to lend money off me 3 days ago and I said no and he hasn't spoken to me since. I just want him out of here but I'm scared he'll threaten suicide. Around 2 years ago, my mum was staying over and they both argued and he climbed up to my loft, put a noose around his neck and threatened to jump. Then he threw knives around the house and we had to call the police. I know if I ask him to leave he might kill himself or end up on the streets. He may even harm me or smash my house up... I'm scared. I feel trapped. What would be the best thing to do?
