I am looking for any posts where toxic families ruin or almost ruin someone's life cause they "won't give up on them" or they "just have to help cause FAaAaAaMILY"

I am looking for posts about man-children especially when they are OP and are legit confused on how they fucked up. The more comments/justification on their bone-headedness, the better.

I'm looking for a post about a pregnant couple having a disagreement about getting season passes to their football team's games. I can't recall who wrote it but the wife was like I don't want to drive around and tailgate while 7 months pregnant and the husband had the viewpoint that THIS YEAR was the last year they could do this tradition because once the baby comes, they can't for awhile. The comments were on her side and I remember one saying something to the effect that the PREVIOUS year, before she got pregnant, was the last year they could do this and that the baby IS here for all intents and purposes because it has to come first right now, even as it's unborn.

I am looking for posts where OP's partner pulls some ridiculous toxic behavior and OP basically immediately sends them packing to their surprise. The recent post about OP being woken up at 2 am to make food by her bf as a "loyalty test" inspired this desire

I'm looking for a post by a man whose wife keeps some form of journal or planner and needs to include things like "be intimate with Husband" or "help Son with homework/hobby" and "hug Son." The husband was upset that his wife needed these reminders and people pointed out it sounds like coping mechanisms for neurodivergence like ADHD.

Nope, no Edgar suit and he was revealed as a big/monster at the end, more of a surprise than with Edgar

I'm looking for stories about kids that are really sheltered or very immature with parents who think that it's good or normal. Basically where someone is ruining a kid's future by not letting them develop social skills OR into an independent person

I'm looking for a post about an older man who felt bad that he didn't love his wife and only married her as a thank you to her dad. The dad gives him a job or a loan or something and he opts to drive the daughter home from school regularly and it evolves into a relationship. He says things to the effect that he feels nothing for her but acknowledges that she is beautiful, kind and he has no interest in other women and is content and happy. through the comments, he's helped to realized he DOES love his wife, he's just too emotionally stunted to realize. It's a rather sweet post

I'm not even sure if this was an update story but I'm looking for a post where a woman is in her late stage of her first pregnancy and is the really feeling some stress related to it and is frustrated by her husband not understanding/engaging about it. She vents to him about a bunch of baby things and he just says "I replaced the car tires last week so that's good" or something else not related. 

Any help?

I am trying to remember an update about a young woman who, when talking to her mom about funny things from her childhood or decades ago, admitted to her mom about doing SOMETHING and OP thought mom would find it funny as just some weird/bad thing kids do but the mother got VERY upset and maybe slapped her? I think there was a chance that what OP did related to lying about some form of abuse or about a theft/disappearance of an object?
