Domestic Issues

Every time I visit my husband’s family, I end up cooking, cleaning, serving everyone. His sister-in-law just hands me her baby and says 'You know how it is, being the younger bahu'. But I’m not even t...

We’ve been married 1.5 years, and I live with his parents in Chennai while he’s posted in Dubai. Every time he’s here, things are okay — but the second he leaves, it’s like I’m back to being the ‘new...

Imagine my uncle called my mum last week asking if they forgot to collect the bride price… me and Emeka have been married 9 months ooo. We did the church thing, white wedding, even the traditional mar...

So we’ve been married 6 years now, two kids. I work in logistics, he’s a technician. I started bringing in more after I got promoted last year. At first it was little things — his sister saying ‘oh, m...

We've been together for 3 years, engaged for one. Every time I visit his province, his mom expects me to cook, clean, wash their clothes—even serve them at the table. His sisters just sit and scroll....

So I’ve been with my partner for about two years now, and lately I feel like I can’t say anything without running it through this mental filter first. Like, I’ll start to say something simple—how my d...

My husband wants us to move to London for his career. Says it’s the ‘next step’ and we’re ‘falling behind’ if we don’t go now. But we just bought a flat here, and I’m pregnant—due in 5 months. I told...

I very upset with my husband right now... he went and invested all our savings in stocks without even telling me. Then he just casually mentions it to me like it's no big deal. Says it's his money too...

Like, I’m 34 now and been on and off with the same girl for six years. We keep breaking up and getting back, mostly because she’s always talking about marriage and her mom already asking me about buwa...

I don’t even know where to start. We’ve been married 4 years, and from the beginning, it’s always been me showing up — me calling, me asking to talk, me crying for a connection. He’s distant, doesn’t...

We were set up through my mom’s cousin. Met five times over three months, always in family cafes, never alone. He was... fine. Polite, job stable, family liked him. But every time we talked, I just fe...

Honestly, I don’t even know where to start. I was raised in such a strict Catholic household—mass every Sunday, prayers before meals, the whole thing. My mom still tells me that divorce is a sin, that...

We’ve applied for 5 BTOs already… 2 in Punggol, 1 in Tampines, 2 in Choa Chu Kang. All fail. Ballot numbers rubbish every time. My girlfriend is getting really upset — says our timeline is ruined, can...

I work in Europe and send money home to my partner in Nigeria. He says he's managing the household with it but I'm not sure. I won't lie to you, it's frustrating when I ask him what he's doing with th...

I'm really torn between my wife and my parents. We had an arranged marriage and I dont know how to handle this situation. My wife wants us to live separately from my parents, she says it's for our own...

I feel like I've been waiting for my life to start for years now. I'm already 28, married to my high school sweetheart, and still living with my in-laws kasi they helped us financially. My husband is...

We almost broke up over which BTO to apply for. I know it sounds ridiculous — house, just a house right? But it got so ugly. He wanted the 4-room near his parents in Tampines. I wanted the 3-room in C...

My partner is a good person but I just don’t get what happened. A week ago she told me she loved me for the first time — out of nowhere, over tea at my mom’s place. I was stunned. We’ve been together...

We go to family events, smile, laugh, take photos. My husband jokes with his brothers, I help serve the food, we look like that couple people point to — the one that’s ‘so sweet’. But drive home, no o...

I'm having a tough time with my wife, every time I try to set a boundary she starts crying and I end up apologizing, it's like I'm walking on eggshells around her, I want to give her the freedom she w...
