“It’s Over,” He Said. I Agreed, Then Saw Him with My Best Friend
– Just like that! You’re ready to break up with me and didn’t even ask why! – Are you suggesting I break up with you without an explanation?

I always thought I was in a happy marriage. Fifteen years is a long time. We had our arguments, but nothing seemed too serious. I could pour my heart out.
Every time I call my husband and ask where he is, he tells me he’s at his mother’s house. She just got a new rug, and he’s helping her with it.
She mentioned that her in-laws constantly shower them with lavish gifts, while I struggle to contribute. But she overlooks the fact that they own a successful business, and I am just trying to make ends meet.
From a young age, they get used to having everything handed to them. But when it’s time to face the real world, a mountain of challenges appears on the horizon.
Until my son, Michael, turned 30, it was just the two of us. Occasionally, he would bring home girlfriends. A few times, it even seemed like marriage was on the horizon, but it always ended in a breakup. Michael was always searching for a serious and committed relationship. But none of these women believed in it. The last girlfriend bluntly stated that she had no intention of living with a mama’s boy. For me
I always knew she had her own way of thinking, but I never imagined she would make such a request. What happened? She asked for compensation for taking care of her granddaughter.
Despite her heartfelt requests, a mother finds herself repeatedly excluded from family vacations. Her attempts to build a better relationship with her children seem to go unnoticed.
Sometimes, change feels impossible. At 70 years old, I find myself in a deep depression because I never truly lived my own life.
Five years ago, my in-laws borrowed a significant amount of money from us, recounts 32-year-old Emily. At that time, it was a lot for us. It was money from my maternity leave benefits and our savings. The money was just sitting there. My in-laws urgently needed to fix something in their vacation cabin
My job rarely offers anything exciting. I sit in my office, analyze data all day, and then head home. Since most of my colleagues are women, I don’t even have anyone to grab a beer with on a Friday night. My friends are busy, and my wife has stopped spending time with me
Sometimes life takes unexpected turns. I married not out of love, but because I had to. Sarah and I met at a friend’s party, shared a few fleeting moments, and then went our separate ways. Months later, we discovered she was pregnant. Neither of us was thrilled about marriage, but our parents insisted.
