“My Wife Lied About Who She Was”
Recently, I caught my wife of two months (partner of 14 months) in a few devastating lies. “Sarah” and I have known each other since we were five years old. We lost touch after the 8th grade and both found each other early last year after our respective divorces. While we were in the dating phase of our relationship, Sarah was very self-conscious about her weight.

Although I had no issue with the way she currently looked, she…

“My Boyfriend Won’t Let Me Go on Vacation with My Family”
I’m 24 and my boyfriend is 25. I’ve known him for over five years, we’ve been together for 1 year and 7 months now, and we have a six-month-old son together. My boyfriend is very caring — he loves me a lot and he’s loved me since we were just friends. We live together and he pays all the bills and I’m a stay-at-home mom.
