I got married at 21. The girl I chose to be my wife was ordinary, pretty but not stunning, cheerful, kind—in short, she seemed like a good match for me. Soon, our son was born. At first, I enjoyed being a husband and father, but then I started to feel restless. My friends were young, having fun
I’ve always had a rocky relationship with Lisa. But now, she’s taken things to a whole new level. Mike and I met in college. We started dating, and then we realized
In today’s fast-paced world, family obligations can sometimes feel like a heavy burden. Emily’s story is a testament to the struggle of balancing familial duties with personal happiness. Her small family consisted of her mother, older sister, and herself. Despite the challenges, they managed to get by.

I asked my friends for advice: would it be rude to ask him to help with groceries? One of them said
My son-in-law is a troublemaker. He has a knack for irritating and angering everyone around him, even over trivial matters like a cashier not giving him a penny in change. Because of his confrontational nature, no employer wants to keep him on staff, and he gets fired repeatedly. In the past year alone, he has changed jobs five times
I’ve shared my story here before, and the gist was that after being with a man for nearly four years, the relationship didn’t end happily.

Just 20 years ago, Mrs. Johnson was proud of her future daughter-in-law: “She is wonderful!” Mrs. Johnson would tell everyone. “She graduated from college, teaches English at school.
