Stories, struggles, personal experiences and secrets involving parents, siblings, and relatives.
M38, Singapore (From Kolkata). After B.tech from Kolkata i had completed CFA and FRM and currently Working as an executive director in one of the top banks of the world. Had been abroad for quite some years in different countries. Never married and don't want to get married too. Tried in online matrimony few years back but things never worked. Currently I am planning to retire in the next couple of years. I do have 10+CR in investment across many countries and I own 3 properties in Kolkata. I don't feel I need to work anymore. What to do with so much money if you don't have anyone to spend with after your parents?? I don't want to do donation or charity or so as I feel all those are corrupted things in india. I am a single child of my parents with no intentions to get married in future. Would like to see the world alone. Problem is my parents doesn't want to me to return from abroad neither they want me to get retired before 50 atleast. I am trying to convince them that i...
Read Full confession →Hi 34M (Madurai) working at GGC and earning ₹4 lakh per month. I come from a middle-class family and we struggled financially before I started working. During my childhood, my parents worked very hard to raise both my brother and me. My brother completed a diploma, while I studied engineering. My brother was always supportive until my marriage. Today, I am earning well, but my brother is not employed and is doing farming. He is struggling financially and I have always helped him whenever he needed money. We are both married and have children. Since I work abroad, my wife has had to raise our child (now 3 years old) almost entirely on her own. From the time of delivery, she has managed the household, taken care of our child and handled everything by herself. However, my brother and his wife have never really helped take care of our child. In fact, my brother has often said that if any problems arise, I should handle them myself. Not only in childcare, but in many other ways, they...
Read Full confession →Sorry for the long post but I really need suggestions on how to refuse my parents politely. So, In 2024, my wife gave birth to our second angle while the first one was 3yo. And yes she has her business where she earns good figure, so she didn't want to let go off it after her delivery as somebody else would have taken her place. My parents said they'll come to help but tbh my wife was the only one who kept doing chores like cooking and laundry even on the previous day of her c- section as my mom complained of pain due to arthritis and migraine. We hired help for cleaning the rooms. after her surgery, she took a month long break and started cooking in the second month. Since she had to be with the kids, I told her to make just 1 item and rice and sometimes when she would get up late, told her to just get some boiled vegetables and eggs with rice. But while she was pregnant, I must admit she kept making 2-3 items everyday for lunch and dinner and different items for breakfast too from...
Read Full confession →My mother-in-law has made our lives miserable. We've done everything for her, yet every single month she comes up with a new reason to ask for money—often in lakhs. Now they want to build rooms on the third floor. When my husband told her, "Why are you spending unnecessarily?" she started crying. I honestly don't know what her problem is. She's draining my husband's life. She doesn't even see that he's developed anxiety because of the constant stress of earning money and meeting everyone's financial demands. My 36-year-old brother-in-law doesn't work at all. He has two children, and even their basic needs are being paid for by my husband. My husband has also taken responsibility for his sister's marriage. Because we live abroad, my mother-in-law seems to think we have a money tree. She has practically told my husband that he is responsible for his brother's family, as if he is their father. What she ignores is that we have two children of our own to raise abroad, where the cost of...

Read Full confession →F25 #urgent post What should I do now? Can someone please guide me? I'm very worried about my future. I'm an introvert, I have stage fright, and I'm currently on psychiatric medication, among other things. My family is suggesting that I pursue stenography, while I've been looking into an MBA. Would an MBA be suitable for me? If yes, could anyone please recommend some good institutes in Kolkata?
Read Full confession →M-22. Hi everyone, I never thought I'd have to write something like this. I recently graduated and have been struggling to find my first software job. Life has been incredibly difficult for my family. We lost my elder brother in a tragic accident, my father has retired, we have EMIs to pay, and my sister's marriage is another responsibility we need to prepare for. With my brother gone, those responsibilities have fallen on me. I'm not asking for sympathy—only for an opportunity to prove myself. If your company is hiring freshers or entry-level Software Engineers, I would be deeply grateful if you could consider referring me. I'm ready to work hard, learn quickly, and give my best. Even a referral, a job lead, or sharing this post with someone who is hiring could make a real difference for my family. Thank you for reading and for any support you can offer.

I know its not the worst there can be but I hardly find any reason to look for next day considering my past and present are like this and I believe my future will be same or worst. 1. Insomnia 2. PIED 3. Emotional Numbness 4. Introvert 5. Communication Issue 6. No life skills (driving, cooking, gym, etc) 7. Work 8. Earnings & Peer pressure 9. Feeling lonely but not reaching out 1. I have been having sleep issue for a decade now. Recently I got it checked but 3-4 medicines didn't work. One worked but had bad side effects like groggy morning and ED. So stopped taking that. 2. I never had gf (or any female connection) and I have been p*rn addicted for almost a decade now daily. I have tried multiple times to stop but keeps coming back. 3. I seriously don't feel any attachment towards anyone; be it family, friends, etc. So much so that recently my two close family m...
