My husband keeps talking about a daughter we don’t have

My husband has always wanted kids. We’re just, I don’t know… I feel like we’re just not old enough yet. We got married young. Fresh out of high school. He works with his dad as an electrician, and I’m still in college, studying to become a teacher. Needless to say, it’s not kids that I have a problem with. I just want to make sure we’re both in a position to raise our children the right way. He knew that when I agreed to marry him. He seemed supportive of it at first. I told him very clearly that I wanted to wait until we were at least 30. For the first 2 years, it seemed like everything was fine. I didn’t know just how agitated he was getting with my refusal to get off birth control. Every time he asked, it was like a stab to my heart. We started arguing a bit. We’d bicker about little things like any other couple, but when it came to kids, it turned into full-blown screaming matches. “I can take care of a baby.” “You can still do school.” “We’ll find a good daycare.” It became clear...

Cashier told me “you can’t get these bro” and I panicked for a second

I’m 18 and this was literally my first time ever buying condoms. I went to my local convenience store and got what I needed along with a snack to make it less awkward. I’m on the phone with someone at the same time, trying to act normal, when the cashier looks at what I’m holding and goes: “You can’t get these bro.” I literally pause like “uh… why?” while still on the phone. Then he points at me holding them and says something like it’s because they’re “too big. for you” Then he laughs and goes “I’m just playing with you,” and I was like bro. He bagged everything up and ended it with a “you have a great night bro!” Even though it was awkward at first he actually did make it less awkward and made me just laugh. It was a funny experience and I’ll definitely probably remember this as it was also my first time buying them. 😭

I let someone pick up my feces from the backyard and I watched

I moved out of my parents house last November. My best friends parents own a house that let people rent for a little bit and who are in need. It is a house that need a lot of work but it still nice to live in. About a few weeks ago, my best friends sister moved in because our house is close to the university she is going to attend. Last night, I came home from work with my stomach bubbling. I didn’t use the restroom at work because I thought I would make it home in time. When I arrive home, I see my best friends sister is home and she has her boyfriend over. It was her birthday and they threw a little get together. I instantly go to the restroom when I walk in my home and her boyfriend is showering. At this point, my stomach is pushing it out. I can feel my guts contracting. I did not want to go into the restroom while he was showering to shit because it would be torture for him. I go into my room and sit down near my desk to stop myself from shitting and to decide what should be m...

cat food kept showing up at my door.

the rest of this story might sound like i’m insane, but you have to believe it. when i was about 10 there were full boxes of fancy feast cat food showing up at my family’s door. the only problems about this was: none of us ever ordered the food, we have never had a cat, and even though i did not have an amazon account, it was addressed to ME. my family and i had these exact questions yet we never found out how this happened. the boxes showed up about 3-4 times before it stopped happening and we just gave them to our neighbors who owned a cat. it’s been years since, and i don’t even live in the neighborhood this happened in anymore, and ive never managed to think of a good answer to this.

My ex’s new gf harassing me

Y’all… I genuinely don’t know if I’ve ever met someone this miserable. So my ex and I broke up over 2 years ago, but we still talk here and there. A few days ago this random girl requested to follow me on Instagram. I followed her back because Im a girl’s girl and love to support girls. I thought she was pretty but had no idea who she was. Then I realized she lived in the state my ex still lives, so I asked him if he knew her. He told me to block her because he said he had a stalker…. (Should’ve been red flag #1) So I removed her from following me because I didn’t know her. I honestly never even thought about unfollowing her even though her page was public already. Later I noticed her commenting under my ex’s brother’s picture saying “hey sexy dm me,” so I was lowkey relieved and figured she was probably dating someone in his family. Then she posted a funny meme on her story that made me laugh, so I replied “LMAO felt this” not even realizing it was her story fr. THAT WAS LITERAL...

The coolest gift.

Ive been with my fiance for 4 years on June 27th. Ive had big plans for his gift this year and I feel on top of the world. Since year 1 of our relationship we have talked all giddy about childhood dreams. My fiance told me about his first childhood let down... my fiance is r&g color blind. He had a dream as a kid about being a pilot and a family member told him he couldn't and he just took their word for it. Turns out he can after much of my own research he could. He has spent hours on flight simulator and has recently been talking about it with his brother. So I started the research. Theres a flight school an hour from our house. Lessons run cheap so as an anniversary gift I scheduled him a discovery flight. Given the flight doesn't have tickets I edited a faux souvenir ticket to have the date of and flight info plus a little anniversary momento. I give it to him Friday because im way too excited! As an added bonus day of the discovery flight i will offer to pay half on e...

I wore my mom's dress to her funeral and my dad hasn't spoken to me since

I don't really know how to start this, so I'll just start from the beginning. My name is Jamie. I was born in a two bedroom apartment above a laundromat in a city that smells like rust and fast food grease. We were poor not tight budget poor, but sometimes the lights go off poor. And from the time I was maybe five years old, I knew I was not a boy. Not in the way I was supposed to be. My mom knew first because moms always know. She never made a big deal out of it. She'd quietly let me sit next to her while she got ready, hand me her lipstick like it was the most normal thing in the world. On my seventh birthday she bought me a purple skirt from a thrift store and hid it in a shoebox. For when you need it, she said. My dad found it once. He didn't yell he just went very quiet, which was somehow worse and threw it in the dumpster. My mom bought me another one the next week. She was the whole sky, I think you understand what I mean. She died when I was thirteen, ovarian c...
