So, I (early 30s) decided to treat myself and got a PlayStation 5 this Black Friday in Jozi. I’ve been wanting one for a while, and after budgeting and making sure all the bills were covered, I went for it. It’s something I’ve been excited about, and I figured it was a harmless way to unwind after work.

My girlfriend (same age range) didn’t seem thrilled when she saw it. She said I should’ve discussed it with her first and accused me of being irresponsible with money. To clarify, I didn’t touch any shared finances or skip out on responsibilities. This was 100% my money, and everything else is in order.

She’s acting like this is a huge deal, saying I’ll spend too much time on it and that it’s "immature for a grown man." I’ve told her it’s not going to take over my life—I’ll still prioritize work, chores, and our time together.

I get that she might’ve been a bit annoyed because everyone's asking her if she allowed it, but is her reaction an overreach? Or am I missing something here? How do I handle this without turning it into a bigger issue?

I ordered food on my break, the dasher was asking a lot of questions like my name and address due to the app constantly crashing. I provided the dasher with the information he requested. While checking my order I saw my updated pick up photo. The gun was very alarming to me, would you reach out to support over this picture?

When we first started dating, my girlfriend asked me what my favorite meal was so she could cook it for me for our one month anniversary. We were 16, and I told her my favorite meal was Chicken Parmesan. She cooked it for me from scratch, and it was delicious. However, I realized that what I meant to say was Chicken Alfredo. I felt bad that she went out of her way to cook what she thought was my favorite meal, so I didn’t correct her- or myself.

Fast forward to now. We’ve been together for 11 years, we’ve been married for 2 years and once a month or so she still makes chicken parm for me because she thinks it’s my favorite. It’s good, but it’s really just not my favorite. At this point, it’s way too late to tell her the truth, right?

I 34f life with my 44m boyfriend, with my 12m kid. (Not his father) on occasion, my son likes to cook his own dinner, using whatever ingredients i was using. (Cooking chicken for dinner he wanted to season and cook it differently that what i was making) my 44m boyfriend has a huge problem with it (amongst other things) my boyfriend has a habit of telling me i let my son do whatever he wants and refuses to see anything any other way. Its constantly "why cant he just eat whats made for dinner" its not all the time my son does this,its maybe once or twice a month. hes a pretty good eater of my dinners even when they arent the best. On top of it, my son cooks himself breakfast every morning before school, usually 2 eggs a peice of toast and carmelized onions. (Idk hes on a onion kick) and my boyfriend hates it. Please reassure me my boyfriends being rediculous. But aitah for letting my kid cook for himself sometimes?
