We (27M 27F) have been dating for over 9 months now and I just found out that she has been lying to me about her daughter. I haven't told her about this yet because I don't want to confront her with high emotions. What do I do? When we started dating I made sure that we establish what we want in this relationship and what we don't, especially about raising a family in the future. I told her am not yet ready emotionally and financially now but the idea of having children someday is welcome. She always tells me stories of her older sister having a 4yo kid and how difficult it was to make her sisters ex cooperate with visitation and financial matters. Me being her partner, I always give her my best and honest opinion about what her sister could do about the situation. She also regularly sends me pictures and clips of her niece and I truly adore this kid, I even gave her a nice gift last Christmas. A couple of months in being together, I started to notice irregularities like how she doesnt always have money to spend for our dates, not being available for certain days of the week, etc. I honestly did not mind since I understand that she may still have responsibilities at home. Then a week ago I randomly borrowed her phone and saw her ex's name on top of her search bar. I did not ask her about it but my mind is already throwing a lot of questions. Why? Do they still communicate with each other? Today I finally decided to browse through her ex's profile and found pictures of her 4yo niece with her ex as the profile photo. Went to the comments and saw comments saying "congratulations [ex] & [gf]!". That's when I realized she has been lying to me about her sister. All the parenting difficulties she shared was hers. That's why her niece has been calling her mommy all this time. I am totally furious right now. Please tell me what to do.
Today I found out my girlfriend's 'niece' was her own daughter

I had a friend who was very broken emotionally. They used to self-harm regularly with a small, hand-made knife that their dad had given them. One day they asked me to hide the knife from them because they wanted to stop self-harming, and that I could give it back once I felt like the time was right. I ended up taking it to my house and hiding it in my closet. They kept mentioning the knife to me, asking me where it was, saying that they "needed" it. So I ended up never giving it back. Well, around a year ago I broke off our friendship. I didn't think about the knife for a while after our friendship, but recently I have began wondering if I should return it back to them. They told me multiple times it was a valuable item, and most importantly, it was very precious to them. However, I'm scared that them seeing the knife would bring them back too much trauma and bad memories. I don't know how they're doing currently (if they're better or worse) and I don't want to ruin their possible progress. For context on how I would deliver the knife: I would simply put the knife in their mailbox with a letter (as I still know their address), they would not have to see me because I know that would bring them back bad memories.
Should I return something to my ex-friend?

Basically title. Apparently we were supposed to refill out our W2 forms at the start of last year but not a single person notified me of this so she went ahead and just defaulted it to barely take any taxes out last year. Now I owe 4k in taxes and can’t afford to pay it back. For context this happened to multiple people at my company and we are basically being told “that sucks” and that’s it. Is there anything I can do?

Went to Quebec City for our babymoon amd we went to this Indian restaurant to have dinner as it was close to our stay. As we entered this owner approached us and said they are booked for the night and not available for dine in. The place was 80% empty and we went there 45 mins before closing time, we chose to take out and he said his machine is not working so he will take only cash. And while we were waiting for the order we saw everyone paying via cards, he was obviously lying. Later I read each and every reviews by Indian on google most of them were treated like this. The food was absolutely garbage went to dustbin after first bite. How can we teach this SOB a lesson that will make him remember him in his lifetime. Edit: Thank you all for the massive response. DMed whoever asked for the link, you can verify the reviews first if I am lying. :D Edit2 : Totally overwhelmed who DMed and commented to understand and listen to the situation, since everyone was asking for the link here it is - https://goo.gl/maps/vxtdcMrJhVnycxwh9 Just letting you know he is PIS and he is setting a wrong example of the food and behavior towards customers, thats not how we Indians treat people.

Hello I’m 23f. I know NOTHING about taxes and I always thought taxes were something to file for when you need extra money from the government so you file and they give it to you. Well I guess not and I haven’t filled my taxes in 4 years and I’m having bad anxiety. No one knows about this except me and I don’t know what to do. I feel like I’m drowning because I heard you can go to jail?? I don’t want to go to jail. How do I go about this without going to jail? And what do I even do at this point?

Forgive me for invading my little sister's privacy but I'm getting more and more worried. I sometimes check her messages because she frequently chats with this guy from our church that used to like me. For more context, he had a crush on me when I was 15 and pursued me til i was 18. I only realized when I grew older that the age gap was rlly weird and might be considered grooming but no one warned me. I'm worried the same thing might happen to her. They mainly talk about genshin and anime but they also talk about each others lives sometimes. I'm going to include some [examples](http://imgur.com/a/gbv99eC) of the weird things I see in their conversations and please tell me if I'm being paranoid or if my worries are valid and what I should do at this point. I don't talk to him anymore and I feel weird telling any of them to stay away from each other unless completely necessary. I remember thanking him for trying to be friends with her before because she used to be lonely, but I feel like this is getting too far. What do you think?

It is not normal to be best friends with a teenager or to talk to a kid this way - even if they’re “mature for their age,” whatever that’s supposed to mean. The *absolute best scenario* is that this person is extremely unhealthy and immature, unable to relate to people his age. The *most likely case by far* is that this is a predator grooming a child. This may not include explicit criminal intent, but that doesn’t make it any less dangerous — he could rope her into an abusive relationship and wait for her to turn 18, having total control of her life. Isolating her from family, peers, etc. “I’ve been there, I know best, just trust me, your family is toxic.” I have seen this before; my parents are 17 years apart. The message people haven’t addressed yet is the one with “how dare you”. That doesn’t seem like much to an untrained eye, but that little exchange *screams* “abuser” like nothing else. Joking about crossed boundaries is a classic emotional abuse tactic. There is nothing normal about this guy’s behaviour. Hell, if someone even 3 years older did this, it would be weird and a bit creepy. 30 is downright predatory. If this was something I encountered at work, I would be contacting the police. Report this to your parents ASAP. This is incredibly dangerous." } ]

Hey beautiful people. Looking for some advice. I’m an attorney. But poor. Not looking for pats on the back, but I’m really that guy who helps people when no one else will. Whether they can pay or not. It can be difficult. I have bills and a family. But, I can’t stop doing it. Been doing it 20 years. Anyway, I helped a rich dude with a minor issue that only required a few phone calls on my part. He’s dating my nephew’s wife’s sister. And everybody loves this guy. He seems great. Lives in a penthouse downtown in one of the hottest if not presently the hottest real estate locations in the USA. He drives a Mercedes G class. He’s in finance. I didn’t charge him for making a few phone calls cause of the family relation. Got results. No biggie. He was very happy. Sometimes folks will gift me a bottle of bourbon or scotch which I love. Sometimes they take me out to lunch and I enjoy the company. And sometimes I help people and get nothing in return and that’s ok too. But this guy came back and gifted me a solid yellow gold, used, Rolex Datejust with diamonds at the numbers on the gold face of the watch. Beautiful beautiful watch. Among all the many Rolex models this model is my life long favorite watch. It costs about $35k new. I have never even worn one in my life. I’ve only seen it in just pictures. And yes, I love that watch. I’ve literally surfed for hours looking at the different iterations of Rolexes but ultimately this model yellow gold Rolex remains my favorite. I’ve never been able to afford one and I have not allowed my family to ever do so for me either. It’s just too much money. But yeah, I’m not going to lie. The actual watch of my dreams. Now he gave it to me in a Rolex box, with much fan fare, hugs. Brothers for life! I just took it to be resized. Jewelers in my city don’t screw around. I ain’t no fool either. I walk in to a spot with a good rep. Old Jewish lady behind the counter. You know you’re in good hands here. I ask her to resize the watch. I note her reaction. She’s quiet. Doing the work. She doesn’t say nothing about the watch. She’s not striking up small talk with me. Me - a new customer in a nice suit who just handed her a $30k watch. She is absolutely uninterested in me. I note this. I let some uncomfortable silence kick in and I ask her, what do you think of that watch? I tell her it was payment from a client in lieu of money. And she doesn’t even bat an eye or look up at me. She says, “well …. It’s not a Rolex”. I believe her. I can tell when people are lying. But I push her. How do you know?, I ask. And folks she broke it down nasty. Not gold. Anywhere. Pins in links are steel and not gold. When taken apart you can see the painted steel where the watch links meet. Wrong engravings on the band. Fluted bezel too thick. She said, I can go on and on! I’m devastated. It’s a really good knock off, she explains guiltily cause she can see my devastation. I don’t want you to think it’s an entirely POS. She illustrated the qualities it did have. It’s even automatic. She said it’s the kind of knock off that costs $700-$1000. But of course, not a Rolex. Now about this guy who really owed me nothing but did pass of like he was gifting me something extraordinary. What do I do? Confront? Fight? Say nothing? What I do? And before anybody says, maybe the guy who gifted it to me didn’t know. Naw folks. He knows. He just doesn’t know yet that I know. What would you do? Thanks for the advice.

tl;dr: rescued a 6wk old kitten and decided to keep her with us and our 6 year old cat, they get along, she eats drinks poops and pees just fine, she has mites or fleas or something and she’s going to the vet today to get an assessment and a work up. I’ve never had such a young cat although I’ve had many before - what do I need to know or do differently for her? Long story: I was going to my car after being in a store for a few minutes and heard a squeaking sound and there was a kitten under my tire. at first I thought I’d crushed her but under further inspection she was just huddled against it because it was warm. I immediately panicked, got my blanket out of the car and wrapped her in it and drove home. I’ve never had a cat this small but I have had several cats and kittens, and we have a 6 year old cat now so I figured it would be good to dry her off, brush her, warm her up and then we immediately took her to the vet. They were about to close but they were able to sex her, estimate her age, weigh her, and schedule an appointment for later today so we can get her assessed and give her shots. She’s 6 weeks old, weighs 1.4 pounds, is female and isn’t observably sick...just terrified and cold. We went and got some kitten supplies and went home. Upon further inspection when we got home she has mites or fleas so we gave her a bath with flea shampoo, then quarantined her with some wet food, water, the carrying case we took her to the vet in, and her own litter box. Despite a moderate amount of fleas and being stuck in the freezing rain for who knows how long, she has a good amount of energy and played with us some. We were able to clip her nails, she used the litter box for both functions, and otherwise just coddled her all night. Between her and the big kitty there was some hissing at first but by the morning time they were amiable. He groomed her and pet her a little bit. He’s always done well with other cats and animals, so I’m not concerned. She doesn’t appear to be fazed by him, just a small and very...not-intimidating hiss so he’ll respect her space. I’ve never had a cat this young or had 2 cats with such an age gap. I’m anxious to go to the vet and learn more from a professional what our next steps are but what can we do in the mean time? What do you suggest?
I found a 6 week old kitten under my car and she won’t leave my side. We’ve decided to keep her. What do I need to know about raising a small kitten?

Upon further inspection when we got home she has mites or fleas so we gave her a bath with flea shampoo, then quarantined her with some wet food, water, the carrying case we took her to the vet in, and her own litter box. \n\nDespite a moderate amount of fleas and being stuck in the freezing rain for who knows how long, she has a good amount of energy and played with us some. We were able to clip her nails, she used the litter box for both functions, and otherwise just coddled her all night. \n\nBetween her and the big kitty there was some hissing at first but by the morning time they were amiable. He groomed her and pet her a little bit. He’s always done well with other cats and animals, so I’m not concerned. She doesn’t appear to be fazed by him, just a small and very...not-intimidating hiss so he’ll respect her space.\n\nI’ve never had a cat this young or had 2 cats with such an age gap. I’m anxious to go to the vet and learn more from a professional what our next steps are but what can we do in the mean time? What do you suggest?" }, { "from": "gpt", "value": "Honestly, your older cat is probably going to raise her. Just make sure she has a safe place to retreat and gets her share of the food." } ]

I just wanted to spend some time together.
I needed a flat surface for a project I'm working on, so I asked my wife if I could use her chest. Now she seems really mad at me. How can I smooth things over?

My guy friend got drunk over a glass of wine, and was throwing up all night. My other friend (girl) was also quite drunk but didn’t vomit, so I looked after both of them. The guy friend kept flipping on his back so I kept trying to put him on his side so he doesn’t choke and die on his vomit. He kept vomiting till 5am, and I was so sleepy. So we all slept on the same bed. I put a suitcase between me and him so he would not flip on his back. My boyfriend says this was not right, it was my friend’s responsibility not mine, he shouldn’t have got that drunk. My boyfriend says I should have let my guy friend sleep on his bed alone, regardless of him flipping over. He says that he feels uncomfortable with me sleeping in the same bed as a guy. But I would have felt terrible if something happened to my friend and I wasn’t there to look after them. My boyfriend reckons this was a form of cheating? What do you think?

My parents are in the process of getting back together after their divorce. I'm currently helping my mother pack her things up from her rental, while keeping the rental tidy. I've been here alone for the past three months, while my mother's been living with my father. Here's where it all started. My brother (M27) is currently married to his wife (F25) but they don't live together or even have their own place. She lives with her parents and my brother sleeps wherever. Couple of days ago, when I was waking up in the morning, I noticed my mothers bedroom where my brother was sleeping has been cleaned (He never cleans anything or does any chores.) I found a mountain of snacks and dirty dishes in the kitchen and thought to myself "there's no way he ate all of these nice stuff on his own." If he had company over it couldn't have been his wife as she's currently working long hours every weekday. At first I was just suspicious, until one day he had his EX OVER, AT THE HOUSE. He literally came to me and said not to tell his wife or anyone, that she was just visiting since she's going on a trip overseas. If you wanted to say goodbye to your ex (why would you want to do that first of all?) you can CALL THEM. not come over, go to the bedroom, close the door and be there for FOUR HOURS. Since then it's all been cleared, he's been having constant visitors here at night that I don't recognise (Yes, all women.) He's not even hiding it anymore. I can't tell anyone, he's even threatened me once. It's so disgusting, she's literally here in the afternoon, bringing him lunch, while he has visitors every few nights. But then again, it's not my relationship, not my responsibility, I have my own life to worry about. What the hell do I do?

(Throwaway account for obvious reasons) Hey Reddit, I apologize in advance for the long post, but I really need to vent and get some advice on how to handle this mess. I'm at my wit's end here and could really use some advice because this situation is fucked up on so many levels. So, I'll cut straight to the chase. I (18F) am a senior in high school, and I babysit this girl, we’ll call her S (15F), who is autistic and pretty much nonverbal. Because of her autism, she's got some unique behaviors. She gets overstimulated easily, has a very hard time with verbal communication (though she can text and read just fine), and she's very direct in her actions and expressions. To add to the complexity, S is the kind of pretty that makes people do a double take, which shouldn't matter but unfortunately does because it's leading to a shitstorm right now. S’s mom is a piece of work to put it lightly. She treats S more like a doll than a daughter and tries to control what she can read and watch (nothing with sex or violence). The girl doesn't have a normal life, hardly socializes, and doesn't go to school. It's like she's been kept in a bubble her whole life. Here's the deal: my bf (18M) has this best friend, we’ll call B (17M), who's the definition of a fuckboy. Good looking, trust fund baby, and to put it mildly, has the morals of an alley cat in heat. He's never been anything but a loyal friend to my bf, but I've always kept him at arm's length because I know his rep. The clusterfuck started when I said yes to watching S for a weekend. I bring my bf (S is used to him, and her mother never has an issue with him being there). My bf, being the moron he is sometimes, tells B about it, and the asshole decides to invite himself over because there's no supervision. Tracking my bf’s location, B shows up tipsy around midnight, and I'm pissed, but my bf convinces me to let him crash because B’s family SUCKS and I'm not a complete monster to send him back there drunk. The first time he saw S, he didn't know she was autistic. He just saw this pretty girl and was all interested until he realized she's different, which I could tell threw him off a bit. But then, the asshole didn't back off like I thought he would. It was obvious to anyone with half a brain that he was attracted to her, and they spent the rest of the day texting back and forth. S, bless her heart, was thrilled to have someone texting her all the time and constantly wanting to see her. So B, that slimy bastard, has been getting all buddy-buddy with her over the past several weeks, playing Mr. Nice Guy, and I'm pretty sure he's doing it because he thinks S is an easy target. She's comfortable with physical touch, likes it even, but she doesn't get the whole sex and romance thing - her mom made damn sure of that. So he somehow got S to warm up to him, which is no small feat. He even managed to charm her mom (who was more than okay with having him around S after seeing the car he drives), offering to watch S whenever. So B started coming over with my bf almost every time he knew I was babysitting. At first, it seemed innocent enough, he was charming and pretended to be interested in helping out or just hanging out. But the red flags started popping up. I thought, okay, maybe he's just being nice, but nope, I should have known better. This little shit has somehow got it in his head that because S is attractive, she's fair game. He’s been obsessing over her since he met her, non-stop texting her, even when in school. Based on what my bf tells me that he knows about their texts, B is clearly steering her towards a sexual relationship. He's been trying to cozy up to her, getting all touchy-feely, and it's fucking creepy. S doesn't have a clue about how bad this looks because she's never been taught about this stuff. She's fascinated by the attention and is eating it up. Now, B wanted to take her to prom, but S declined because that sort of environment would be stressful for her. But get this, he's pushing to be alone with her that night while my bf and I are at prom. He's spinning it like he's doing me a favor, but I'm not an idiot. I can see what he's driving at. And her mom, who's in denial about his intentions, thinks he's a fucking saint. Her mother ADORES him. She thinks he's the second coming of Christ because he's got a wallet thicker than a Bible, and she's all too happy to let him "watch" S. I'm worried sick because if he's successful in sleeping with her, it's going to mess her up big time. She trusts him, and I can't shake the feeling that this is going to end in disaster. I've tried talking to my bf about it, but he's stuck between a rock and a hard place because B has been his best friend since middle school, and he insists B really likes S. I told my bf straight up that B being interested in S didn’t sit right. But my bf just brushed it off, saying B is only two years older than her and that he actually cares about her. I call bullshit. B "caring" about someone has always meant one thing: he's interested in sleeping with them. He also says I'm not giving S enough credit and that she's not as innocent as I think and that she definitely knows what she's doing and is curious about guys and all that. But I know S, I've been looking after her for years, and she's only just started learning about this stuff. She's curious, sure, but she doesn't fully grasp it all – how could she? She's been kept away from it her whole life. And I've tried talking to S, but I'm not sure how much gets through. I'm also worried that S will hate me if I ruin this thing with B, which, despite my gut feeling, seems to make her happy. I'm at my wit's end here. I care about S, she's like a little sister to me. I can't stand the thought of her being used like this. What the fuck do I do? How do I protect S from this asshole without overstepping my boundaries or making her hate me? Desperate for any advice you've got. UPDATE: Just wanted to address a few (lot of) things and give you guys a bit of an update before Saturday. 1. S is turning 16 tomorrow. She isn’t incompetent by any means, and it’s not a matter of her not being able to give consent, it’s a matter of her falling for a known fuckboy. The main reason she needs a babysitter is because she has a history with self-harm. I think it could trigger her if B decides to leave her. She’s CONVINCED he’s the love of her life and would be devastated if she couldn’t see him again. 2. S can’t be in school because she gets overstimulated EXTREMELY easily in crowded environments. Getting her GED isn’t out of the picture, and might be an option for her. 3. I don’t work for her mother. She pays me very little and under the table because I’m there almost every weekend with S. I do genuinely enjoy spending time with S. Her mother is okay with me bringing my bf because she appreciates me being there to make sure that S is okay. She won’t get a real caretaker for S because a) she won’t pay for one and b) she knows that S dislikes most people. The ONLY reason S was okay with B being around at first was because he’s attractive, so unless her mother wants to find another hot guy around S’s age with washboard abs, S won’t take well to someone new alone with her in her space. 4. S’s mother brushes me off. She’s under the impression that B will will take care of S and not hurt her. I brought up putting S on the pill, and she told me to let her handle it (meaning she’s likely doing nothing). 5. I don’t have any real proof of malicious intent by B, and that’s the main problem. I’ve seen his car at her house at times that I wasn’t there, but her mother was. Any reservations she had about him went out the moment he bought S a brand new iPad. Her mother LOVES this guy and KNOWS he’s interested in her daughter. 6. S’s father isn’t in the picture. He’s a pos and completely removed from her life. 7. I’m not breaking up with my boyfriend. He’s not thrilled about the situation either. He’s been friends with B since middle school and thinks that while occasionally thoughtless, B’s actions are hardly malicious. 8. I talked to my parents. They have known B as long as I have and still see him as a harmless kid. They believe that S is more capable than her mother or anyone else is giving her credit for. They think I’m coddling S and they think B will break her out of her shell (never gonna happen, her shell is basically steel). 9. I found out that S’s idea of sex is very warped. No one ever brought it up to her prior to B, so the only idea she had before was apparently from porn. I’ve been texting her, and I told her that porn isn’t real, but she doesn’t get it. I talked to her about safe sex, and she told me that B already briefed her on everything I was saying. B told me that S is the one trying to initiate a sexual relationship (I didn’t believe him at first, but S confirmed that it’s true and that he wanted to wait until she turned 16). 10. B told me that he’s been tested and is going to ask S to be his gf over the weekend. He is crazy about her, and I’ve never seen him like this with any other girl. I just know that he’s just thinking of the now, and not thinking about how different his life would be with her long term, and will eventually end up hurting her to a point that she might not be able to bounce back from. 11. I’m not calling the cops or CPS. S and B are both minors, not even two years apart. My parents called CPS on her mother a few years after they moved here when I found VERY questionable photos of S in a few photo albums, S told me that cops also came and looked at her “modeling” albums, but that they left shortly after. S hasn’t “modeled” since thankfully, but the cops and CPS didn’t even remove the albums. The cops here won’t do anything unless a CLEAR crime has been committed, and B’s family would lawyer up so quickly, so it’d be a lost cause that would bring S stress that she really doesn’t need.
