Life Story
Has anyone ever written down their life story on here? As most regular posters know, my life has been pretty tough and I'd like to put it into words.

Worrying unnecessarily (I hope)
My cycles have been 28-32 days for the last 3 years (since I had my daughter) but it is now day 36 and my period still hasn't started. I know that this isn't hugely late and it keeps feeling like it will start but then nothing happens and I am starting to worry. We have always been very careful but I'm panicking a bit in…

Can anyone tell me what the legal rights are of a househusband when a relationship breaks down?

Getting past a dislike of OH's family member?
Keeping it as short as possible! Has anyone ever really disliked one of their OH's family, and how do you get around it? I've been in a relationship for four months now and seen this person a handful of times, and everytime I'm around her I just feel uncomfortable. I'm sure she is a lovely lovely person but I can't get…

Best Ways to Turn a Guy Down When He's Persistent?
So I'm wondering how the ladies of MSE would go about turning a persistent guy down when he asks you out or makes a move?

I can probably be a bit less wound up by things if there's an explanation for it. Just a quick example - if we phone in the morning to speak to their parents, then we're just doing…

Hi again. A few of you will know that I have had my insecurity issues and problems coming to terms with OH's close friendship with his boss. Well, the other day, he confessed to texting her behind my back (some of you may say I brought this on myself by being insecure and I can understand that opinion). He said it doesn't…
