I'm having terrible crush on my hot mother in law. I got married three years back. Me and my wife had wonderful time. We had lot of sex and fun in first year. Then slowly she is defending herself in intercourse. And she isn't enjoying it much now. Earlier we use to have almost everyday once. Merely leaving a single day in a week. And now I'm having it once a week. These days we r visiting my in laws frequently. My wife is beautiful, no doubt she totally a copy of her mother. But recently I have spent many days with my in laws due to my father in law's health issues. My wife has to take care of my kid, so she stayed home and I was filling their needs when father in law was in hospital and further. These days I was staying with them. I wasn't notice much, but slowly I got weird dreams of my mother in law. I use to be very Frank and funny around everyone to make their happy faces. But then making that lady happier makes me satisfied. They have very small house. (1/2)

When H and I eloped, we only wanted ppl we cared about most to be there. It was 7 ppl, including a friend of over 20yrs. She was also our witness. She got engaged, started planning a big wedding, invited me. She couldn't afford the wedding dress of her dreams, I let her put it on my CC & pay me back over time. I said as a wedding present, I'll pay $200 of it, so I paid $200 on the card immediately. Months later she canceled the wedding and has decided to elope in a couple weeks, told me all about it so I assumed I was invited. Today she calls me to ask if I'll use my CC for alterations too. I said ok, paid for it. Then I ask if she was inviting a lot of people or just a small amount. She told me it's family only, but if they throw a big party next year I'll be invited. This really hurt. I want to tell her that I'm adding on the $200 I gave as a wedding present since I'm not even invited to the wedding. What would you do?

My mom did a *lot* of things wrong with me. My dad not so much, but he never stopped her either. But I really could have been less spiteful. She never let me be happy, so I was so determined to never give her a reason to be proud of me that I sabotaged my own future so that she wouldn't see me succeed with the dreams she had for me. I could have done those things and been a successful person in spite of it not being what I wanted but her living vicariously through me. I wish I could have seen further than the trauma I was experiencing to make it work for myself.

Lately, a LOT of my dreams and even some things I randomly say out loud have been coming true. This has always happened throughout my life, but it stopped for a good long while. It's cool, and sometimes helpful, but also kind of scary at times. Like last week, I was thinking of someone and randomly thought, "I hope they don't die any time soon." They died that night!!! So two nights ago, I dreamed that I was serving passengers in First Class on an airplane. Not unusual, I've been a flight attendant for many years - but it wasn't the kind of plane I fly on. Then last night, I dreamed that Osama bin Laden was holding me hostage in my house. I escaped, and ran into an ex-friend who I haven't seen in years, who's also a flight attendant. She flies on the planes in my dream & does overseas trips. Now I'm worried that there's going to be another terrorist attack. 9/11 didn't surprise me, as I dreamed about it before it happened.

I always dreamed that by 30 I would have a solid career in a museum or college, my own apartment, 4 cats, regularly travel, and have a tightknit group of girl friends. In reality, I have 2 kids, have alternated between staying home and working multiple times, no viable career options, and zero friends. Sometimes that's discouraging, but I can almost see that other me running alongside me reminding me that this life is just as fulfilling as that one could have been. And maybe one day, my dreams will be on the front burner again.

Maybe some gender disappointment going on there? I won't lie, I was disappointed at first too when they told me my second and last would be a boy. I had dreams of dressing up and tea parties and princesses and things. Not that boys don't do that stuff sometimes, but it's different. It didn't take long to get past, but it's definitely a real thing.

So, we bought my daughter a car today. She's turning 16. It's a new small, economical SUV. I broke down in tears on my way home. I grew up with a single dad. He was wonderful and hard working, but we were poor. Like put cardboard in your only pair of shoes to fill the holes poor. My first car was free b/c it was so bad they literally gave it away. Leaked everything, rust everywhere. I cried because I can't believe how far I've come. I would have never dreamed I'd be in a position to be able to do this. I feel like I made it. I really, really made it. After decades of poverty and working my ass off, I'm in a position to buy my daughter a new car. In cash. Never in my wildest dreams did I ever think I'd be able to write a check that big. And she is such an amazing, terrific kid. She deserves this. I'm just so glad I can give it to her. I have a nice house and other things, but this just hit me differently.

A year ago, I was working a menial p/t job making about $14K a year. I did that for 7 years after being a SAHM for 7 years. Got a f/t job that paid way more than I ever thought I'd make, but was laid off when COVID hit. I got a new job last month, but had to take a pay cut from the job I was laid off from. Well, after only a month, I was offered a promotion. $20K more than the high-paying job I was laid off from. My total compensation will be close to $100K. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I could do that after being out of the workforce for so long. And I'm not like an engineer or something. I do admin work. Dh has never really come out and say it, but he's made snarky comments along the way. First about how I don't contribute anything financially, then insinuated that I was laid off because the job was over my head, not because of COVID. This promotion shut him up and he's suddenly supportive. F him. This promotion means I can afford to leave him now.

Last year a friend of mine did that to me. Like it was completely normal, she just said "I had a sex dream about you last night". She described it a little, not too much detail. I don't think of myself as prudish, but I was bright red. Not too many months after, she left her husband for a poly couple, so I kinda wonder if she wasn't testing the waters with me and DH. Or maybe she is just way more sexually open than me, and discussed all kinds of dreams with whoever was in them. She moved away, so we don't really talk much any more, so I have no idea what she dreams about these days!

I use to work in the sheriff's office and one of my admin coworkers had sex dreams about one of the officers.... and TOLD HIM ABOUT THEM! I couldn't believe it. She's happily married and he was... married... to a terrible woman that cheated on him all the time and they're now divorced, but still. I will never understand why she felt the need -as a married woman- to tell him -a married man- that she had graphic sex dreams about him. He was so embarrassed, I don't think I've ever seen a man blush like that. Whew! I would never. I don't know what she was thinking.
