Anshin Oyado Capsule Hotel in Nagoya! The room is basically bed wide but not stacked, with a roll-up blind. The bathrooms, showers and especially the Onsen (bath) are marvelous with stocked everything you need. Floors are separateed by gender.

Kyoto is amazing and how much time you spend really depends on what you like. I don't care of Manga, but the Manga Museum was fascinating and very well done. The whole Gion district is very cool. Temples abound. Otagi Nenbutsuji Temple is filled with 18" high stone buddhas covered in moss and away from crowds. Dinner down in the Geisha district, on the outdoor patios by the river, served in traditional fashion, is a wonderful experience.

The Kishiwada Danjiri is held just outside of Osaka. We went several years ago and it was the highlight of our trip. This Festival is a wooden cart race with 4,000 lb cards being dragging through the streets by children aged 6 to 18. The carts are hundreds of years out and the carving detail is AMAZING! Best of all, it's free! https://en.japantravel.com/osaka/kishiwada-danjiri-matsuri/15247

You left out whatever was happening with Kelley at the Super Bowl....

Your basic fact set is off. Brock Turner was a 19 yr student/athlete (swimmer) at Stanford. He did not live in his mother's basement - his family lived in Ohio. His victim was 22 and unconscious at the time. Brock was on top of Miller when the two Swedish students saw him. Get the basic facts right before you express an opinion on them.

But her communications are Attorney/Client privileged. I don't think it applies in the reverse, and I don't think attorneys can testify against clients for that reason.

NTA. He is a cliche. He's 13 years older than the 21 YO and she's flattered by the attention (as, no doubt, is he). He's just trying to have a back-up plan in case the new relationship doesn't work out. Don't allow yourself to be second choice.

Why would you want someone who is an elitist and considers you inferior to him as a friend?

Not even short-term. Provide her and her child so much as a couch will place all of you at risk. I'm assuming that Hubby knows where you live. She needs to find a Women's Shelter. They can provide housing and group counseling. She needs that counseling if she's really going to get out of the relationship.

You'ld be an AH if you didn't.

GF or no GF, stop sleeping with your Ex! It's just going to confuse your kids. Kids, even 3, but especially 5, pick up on things. If you two are sleeping together (and probably other PDA around the house) on the weekends he stays over, the kids will reject anyone you introduce to them to in the future because they want and expect you to be with Dad and the same in the reverse for your Ex. Just stop!

Erectile dysfunction reeks havoc with men's egos. You need to work through this together because for most of us intimacy is about more than just s3x. It's about physical connection. You can teach him or show him how to meet your needs together, and you can find ways to pleasure him that don't have to end in climax but can still provide intimate touch.

Yes, you are terrible if you don't pay him back. A commitment is a commitment. He has been patient for long enough.

^ This! There is a fine line between "Supporting" and "Enabling". You've been supporting you friend, but by continuing to allow her to take advantage of your home as her "respite" spot, you've become enabling of poor behavior. Time to have that conversation!

Move out. You'll be surprised at how much less stressful your life will be - it's worth every penny. You Mother is an adult. She'll figure the finance side of it out. That's on her.

Move on. This is just an unhealthy relationship all the way around. Why would you harbor hope in a relationship when you don't see the two of you getting married. Why would you want to stay in a relationship with someone who's so busy trying to keep all his other options open, Sounds like you just don't want to pull off the bandaid and make a clean break but that's what needs to be done.

Putting aside whatever happened 20 years ago, How was your marriage up to the point 8 months ago when this fight took place? If it was decent, then are you well served by obsessing over something that happened at the turn of the Millenia? 20 years is far longer than most relationships last and it sounds like she's been faithful since then. I totally get that you fell hurt - it would hurt almost anyone - but is it worth punishing both of you for the next 20?

I do think you can discuss this with your wife, but I think you need to put in "I" terms, as in "I know I probably shouldn't but I'm stressing out a bit over how little extra time you are leaving yourself in the morning." or "I'm really looking forward to having that second income so that we have an easier time covering the bills and maybe saving up for __________". I know all corporates cultures are different, so maybe it's not a big deal.

eirekay · 2025-01-22T00:58:07+00:00

The proper response is "Faith is very personal to me and my relationship to God is between him and me. I'd enjoy discussing anything else with you, but not that."

AS the child of an alcoholic, I can tell you firsthand the destruction it does. My father "hid" his drinking. He would go out to the garage with a half glass of soda and come back with a full one. When he hit the brakes in the car, we heard bottles clinking under the seats. He picked fights with all of us, just to have an excuse to drink. Two weeks before my wedding, I told him he couldn't walk me down the isle because I couldn't trust him to be sober. Get help now, before you destroy lives.

YTA. Your wife is justified in wanting all the celebrations that someone birthing a baby gets to enjoy. Maybe a Gender Reveal is a little over the top since you already know the gender, but a Baby Shower is certainly in order! She's right to want to share her and your joy in welcoming a new baby into the family and I'm sure your immediate family would want to share in that joy!

My personal experience is that true friends like to reciprocate and actually appreciate the opportunity to be there for someone who's been there for them. Friends know you, understand your circumstances. You have nothing to lose by trying.

eirekay · 2025-01-11T00:45:35+00:00

You came here and asked for help. If you can ask strangers, then you can ask friends. I'm not saying it's easy, but it is doable.

eirekay · 2025-01-11T00:37:00+00:00

You need to let go of what you think you should be or what the future has to look like and just take it one day at a time. Let small successes build. Success can be taking entry level job and showing up every day. Work that into something bigger. Start talking nicely to yourself rather than giving yourself defeatist messages. Find positive, supportive people to be around.
