I served a year as the chairman of the board of an organization given to mismanagement and potential fraud. So I proposed management guidelines that were accepted, but with resistance. My fellow board members were afraid to support me when I strongly pushed for the steps that needed to be taken, even though the majority [...]
I met my current partner on the Internet. She has given me reason to believe she is a good person, but I feel that she is not always completely honest with me and that she may have another private life on the web.... I can’t bring up the subject with her without getting into an [...]
I am a forty‑two‑year‑old nonmarital son. My father is still alive. I love him very much. He has always kept up with me and my mother, but he has never introduced me to his family.... I believe that I should respect his decision to keep my existence a secret.... He is now very old, so [...]
I like to be sincere. I know that lying is one of those sins that God doesn’t like, but every time someone asks my opinion, my answer is not what they expected. This happens a lot with my girlfriend.... It makes her start an argument and then start crying, claiming that I mistreat her and [...]
I am a thirty‑four‑year‑old man with a girlfriend. Things have not gone well for her. She was married to her first husband for only one year because he was unfaithful to her. Then she met another guy she fell in love with, but he was unfaithful to her as well. She has been very hurt [...]
A few years ago I divorced my husband because he is an alcoholic.... For two years we didn’t see each other, but then I agreed to allow him to exercise his legal right to visit our small daughter in the house where she and I live. I work very hard to support her because he [...]
I have a six‑year-old son who is very bright and extroverted.... He always asks me for money, but I hardly ever give him any (only when I can). He recently came home from school eating some ice cream, and I knew I hadn’t given him any money to buy it.... I checked his pockets and, [...]
About eight months ago I got a new job. I am the bookkeeper for a small business. The owner orders me to do things that are illegal, like change the amount of taxes that he owes and falsify the hours of the employees. Ever since I have been doing this, I have not had any [...]
A woman came to my house and gave me her three‑day‑old baby. My husband and I accepted the baby with high hopes, because until then we had not been able to have any biological children. Six months later, I became pregnant and was very happy... but when our daughter was born, my in‑laws began to [...]
I am about seventy‑five pounds overweight. My life is a disaster. I don’t go out of the house. My children beg me to take them out, and I tell them no, that they are crazy if they think I’m going out looking like this. I don’t pick them up at school because I don’t want [...]
