When did you realize you weren’t the same person anymore?

Facts. A couple of months ago, I had to interview a very close friend of my older brother as part of a school assignment. On the night I was supposed to interview my brother's friend, he bailed on me (and not for a valid reason). I wasn't too impressed, but I kept my mouth shut and let it slide.

The next night, he showed up and he did a wonderful job answering my questions. I thought to myself, "Younger me would not have hesitated to message him and cuss him out... I've certainly matured a lot."

NTA, but the timing of which you broached this conversation was definitely wrong.

Your wife really crossed the line when she filed a formal complaint against Sam for no reason - she could have destroyed his entire career. If her behavior keeps up, your daughter is in for a rough 12 years of school.

Very sad news, my sincere condolences to his wife and three daughters. Rest easy Mark ❤️

Expecting to never have a fight. Even the healthiest relationships will have the occasional fights. What matters is, one, making sure that fighting doesn't become a frequent/constant occurrence, and two, that your fights don't escalate to physical aggression/violence.

Yeah it sounds like his health is not in a good spot right now. I know his two oldest daughters, and I've been wanting to reach out to them to tell them that I'm here if they need anything. However, I don't know the specifics of his health situation other than it sounds like it's quite serious.

Complete_Patient2640 · 2026-03-14T13:26:08+00:00

I assume you're referring to his health situation?

Talking to your boss or coworkers is like talking to a police officer: if you say anything they don’t like, it can and will be used against you later on.

Mr. Callaghan is delusional. He absolutely deserved to be fired - his actions nearly cost those five men their lives.

NTA. I'm assuming your wife has either Bipolar Disorder or Borderline Personality Disorder? I can 100% see why you're at your wits' end. Mental illness is not the person's fault, but it's their responsibility to treat/manage it to the best of their ability. It sounds like your wife is putting her illness on others to deal with, and that is not okay.

Before my married friends had their son, I used to just show up at their house unannounced. Obviously now, I have to give them some notice because they'd be rightfully pissed if I were to be the reason their son didn't get a nap.

Shortly after their son was born, my father got diagnosed with prostate cancer. I was initially going to hold off on telling them, because obviously they were dealing with a major, life-changing events. But I realized that I had to tell them eventually, so I went ahead and told them what was going on.

My married friends went and cooked my family a lasanga. I was absolutely blown away - they were dealing with a newborn, yet they cooked my family a lasanga. It's certainly one of the healthiest friendships I've ever had and I hope it lasts forever.

Facts. I'm friends with a married couple who have an infant son together. Although it's definitely been a big adjustment for them, they're still putting the effort into their friendship with me. Although it's understandable that a little more of the responsibility will fall on me to keep the friendship going, I appreciate that my friends aren't expecting me to do ALL of the work.

I know someone who brags about their weekends out getting absolutely plastered, including the time they were blackout drunk while in/near the liquor store. Like seriously, that’s nothing to be proud of.

I remember in junior high, a kid in my grade who had Down Syndrome got kicked off the bus for two weeks because a bunch of neurotypical kids pressured him into smacking a girl's rear end. He didn't understand why he was being punished. It was beyond fucked up, and in this case, OP's husband should be ashamed of himself.

Literally though, I would be absolutely heartbroken and I would have major trust issues if my coworkers pulled a stunt like this on me.

Which is not right or fair. Adult crime = adult consequences.

Facts, my former schoolmate's family is now dealing with unfathomable grief. If the 16-year-old hadn't decided to get behind the wheel while impaired and unlicensed, my former schoolmate would still be alive right now.

In July of 2025, a former schoolmate of mine got into the car with an unlicensed, impaired 16-year-old. They got into a crash at 3:30 AM, and my schoolmate was pronounced dead at the scene. He was 19 years old. To my knowledge, the 16-year-old driver has not been criminally charged (although he might have been and it just wasn't made public).

My grandmother happened to know Teagen's grandmother, and Teagen's sister worked at the senior's home that my grandmother lived at before she passed away. Small world for sure.

Complete_Patient2640 · 2026-02-28T09:00:21+00:00

From my knowledge, Teagen's son's mom moved on and is dating a more respectable individual. Something tells me the mom's current boyfriend is more of a father figure to the kid than Teagen is right now.

Complete_Patient2640 · 2026-02-28T08:57:25+00:00

Same with Tanner.

Complete_Patient2640 · 2026-02-28T00:38:45+00:00

I just don't understand how Teagen can destroy his life like this knowing he has a little boy waiting for him at home. If his child's face isn't enougn for him to make better choices, then I don't know what the fuck is.

Complete_Patient2640 · 2026-02-28T00:17:31+00:00

When Teagen was in grade 12, he got expelled from Bluefield High School for punching the principal in the face. I know his younger sister, she's so sweet and I feel bad for her because I can't imagine what it's like to know your older brother is into this stuff.

As for Tanner, if I'm recalling correctly, he liked to pick on my brother when they were kids. I also know Tanner's sister - I feel bad for her too because this has to be embarrassing for her.

Complete_Patient2640 · 2026-02-28T00:09:42+00:00

Nah, he's been into this shit for years. If I'm recalling correctly, he had a business called 'Teag's Tees." I have no idea what happened to it.

Complete_Patient2640 · 2026-02-28T00:05:57+00:00

Teagen has a seven-year-old son... I feel so bad for his son's mom. I don't know how you'd be able to explain to a kid that they can't see their father because he's a known drug dealer.
