11 years together and he doesn't know me

I got gifted a flower arrangement and a food hamper wrapped in cellophane. Both terrible for the environment. It's such a waste of money. I much rather would've had stuff I actually needed such as personal care products. Or some wildlife friendly garden plants instead. (Sorry needed to vent) What's the worst/stra...

What are the odds he's full of it?

It was mothers day last Sunday in the UK, my partner said my gift was delayed as its being built in Australia (only told me this when I 'jokingly' asked where my gift was last night) he says he bought it 3 weeks ago, surely it would of at least been dispatched 3 weeks on?

Phone

So my SS mum has got him a phone after she said she’ll get him it for Christmas but he’s not allowed to bring it to us which makes no sense as he’ll be starting secondary school in September so I don’t know if she’s expecting him to have two phones which means two numbers to give to friends. We should’ve just got hi...

Picture this: you only ever wear silver jewelry. Your husband surprises you with an expensive GOLD necklace after not buying you jewelry since your (silver) wedding band. How do you respond?

My husband cheated on me and he was just telling me what he wants for his birthday. I’m still mad and don’t think I’ll get over it anytime soon . I don’t wanna celebrate his birthday .

Before you ask me why I’m staying. Because we are in the process of building our home and I’m not getting out of the relationship empty handed . But should I get him a gift?

Expired gift certificate? (Pic on comment)

I got this for Christmas in 2023 and forgot I had it. It says valid until 2025. I plan to go this afternoon. I’m going to ask to use it, but not sure if they’ll take it. I won’t put up a big stink if they say no. If you worked there, would you accept it?
