  My mom died back in March. My younger sister and I took care of all the planning of the funeral. I paid for the funeral (20K) and my sister is slowly paying me back her share. Our older brother refused to help in any way.  All texts and phone calls went unanswered. COVID quarantine/lockdowns were then put in place, so we had to wait several months to have a headstone put at her burial site. When businesses started opening up again, we asked our brother to arrange the headstone. He didn't have...

  My mother died recently. And the guy I was dating broke up with me 4 days after her death, even saying "You are acting like she died yesterday" (there is a very long post about this person in the breakup message board).So now I am devastated by the death of my mother, shocked at the breakup (and thus also losing the relationship with his kids, whom I loved very much), and stuck at home alone because of this corona outbreak (social distancing).It's like everything is happening at the same...

  I was seeing this guy for nearly 4 months. We went on a family trip (me, him, and his two kids) to Disneyworld. We drove 22 hours (in my car) to get there. 3 days into our trip, my sister and brother called me to tell me that our mom, who was in the hospital, and taken a turn for the worse and wasn't given much time. (Before I left, she was ok, and my sister said to go ahead on the trip). I didn't want to disappoint the kids becaused I loved them.So when I got the call, I booked a flight home....

  I have a friend who I have known for many years. She is always asking for “small favours”...it might not seem like a big deal, but over the years it has started to grate on my nerves. It all started with her asking me to buy concert tickets for her online because she didn’t trust using her credit card online, and she would pay me back. I thought it was odd (and a little annoying that she was willing to risk MY credit card), but I obliged. Over the next few years, she would ask me for...

  i have been seeing someone for a couple of months. We aren’t “official” yet, but are exclusive. At least he agreed to being exclusive, and I am trusting that he isn’t lying. Yesterday, we were supposed to see each other. But when I texted around 11am to ask what time he wanted to meet up, he said “I will call you when I gget back” (back from where he didn’t say). Well the evening rolled around and still no word from him. I finally texted to ask if he didn’t want to meet up. He...

  Hello. I am not sure I am posting this in the right section. I started seeing this guy who has been separated from his wife for about 6 months now. I was a little hesitant at first, but he assured me that he has no feelings for his ex. He also has two young children ( I do not have any children).We have been dating for a couple of months now. At first, everything was fine. He introduced me to his children and parents pretty early on (which in retrospect perhaps was more of a red flag than a...
