SUBREDDIT: r/personalfinance TITLE: Credit Consolidation; Do or Don't?? POST: This isn't something we would normally consider, but tough times just got a whole lot tougher for our family and we're turning to you, reddit, for advice. The story goes: I'm 37 weeks pregnant. A month ago I got fired from my job (unintentionally) and UE decided it was my fault so they're not giving me benefits. I did appeal, but we don't have an answer for that yet. In the meantime I'm attempting to collect short term disabil

SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Me [21F] with my bff/ex [22M] has trouble picking up girls, and I don't know what advice to give him. POST: Throwaway just in case. So some backstory. Drew and I dated for 2 years. We broke up mutually to grow as individuals. During a 3 month span (May-Sept) we did not see each other but we still stayed in contact. During this time I started seeing another guy, and Drew heavily used tinder. We would talk about his matches, and how everything was going. We naturally became

After going to college, we saw each other with far less frequency, but we would still talk online just about daily. I still considered him my best friend. Probably starting around last summer, he started being less and less engaged in our conversations. His life, my life, new music, joint int

SUBREDDIT: r/relationships TITLE: Help me (25F) not feel bitter towards my sister (21F)! POST: Hey all, I'll try and make this short. I got married in February to my super awesome man. My sister was amazingly helpful about many aspects of my very small wedding. However, there were many things she did that I wasn't super happy about and couldn't change (mainly things like bridal shower, bachelorette, in which they're typically surprises for the bride). The bridal shower didn't have many people I would have w

I meet a girl I'm interested in getting to know better, but naturally in some way, shape, or form she is always about to be separated from me geographically. Be it because it's the end of the semester before one (or both) of us leaves town, right before a long break, or, more recently, right before she leaves town for a long vacation (li

Because there are tons of classes that I'd love to take, but not very much room in my credit schedule to take them (halfway through community college, gotta get to it with the prereqs for my transfer), I'm sitting in on several classes. It turns out that I can request to audit those classes, which from what I gather, is pretty much the same as sitting in on it without credit, but goes on your transcript as having happened, rather than leaving i

SUBREDDIT: r/tifu TITLE: TIFU By not getting the hint POST: So this actually happened a year ago, and it took me a couple weeks and my roommate to figure out how stupid I was. So last year my roommate was having his girlfriend over for the weekend. His girlfriend didn't want to make the drive alone (it was like 6 or 7 hours), so she asked if her best friend could come as well. Lets call this best friend Mara.
