Answered by anonymous on 30 April 2024.
Q. A long time FWB had open heart surgery recently. I told him I would help with whatever I could when he gets home as he lives alone. His ex-wife stepped in and started filling up his refrigerator, took care of his cat, and has been there every night ...A. 30 April 2024: Of course she wants to live with him, probably to marry him.

My ex ended things by attacking me verbally
Answered by Youcannotbeserious + on 29 April 2024.
Q. My partner of 4 years just ended things with me, I'm absolutely heartbroken. I thought wee were okay. Yeah wee had problems but always worked through them, he was good with my daughter too. It's not just that he ended it he ended it in the most ...A. 29 April 2024: As you've chosen to only tell half a story here, then we need to speculate more than usual on what is going on.

Answered by anonymous on 27 April 2024.
Q. My 20 year high school reunion is coming up in a few months. I never made any of my reunions (5 year reunion, 10 year reunion, or my 15 year reunion). I was bullied by a few students and most of the students just acted like I didn't exist.
