Issue with buying house

My wife (F30) and myself (M34) are in process of buying a house. Only I work in the family and I saved up $10K and put deposit towards is 3BHK house. It’s been 10 days and my wife is now saying she doesn’t like the house because the fengshui (changed concept, she follows something similar to fengshui) is not correct. She will only move if she can use one of the bedrooms as entertainment room. This will leave only 1 bedroom for guest with Master bedroom being used by us. The problem here is we bought the house because we needed at least 3 bedrooms. One for us, one for my daughter from previous marriage and one for family/friends staying over. Both of us are immigrants and my family comes over 2-3 months on summer. She is new here and her family hasn’t been over. She is telling me her family will never come over, my family cannot stay in guest bedroom and she wants them to share room with my daughter. I don’t want that simply because I am not paying $500K on a house and not use extra b...

Me [over 35/F] with a coworker [mid-30s M]'s strange reactions upon being introduced and later. What might have gone wrong?

TL,DR: Guy acting weird at my introduction to coworkers, seems aloof in other interactions, wouldn't normally stress over this but we may be working together in the not-so-far future and I don't know why I put him off, but can't directly ask because it would get around... could someone help me figure this out? This occurrence has been on my mind because I may be working with this guy soonish. I just started a new job in July, at a very relaxed and friendly workplace where the people are truly welcoming. I'm slowly making friends, mostly with the women there since I don't go out of my way to chat with the guys, they're on different projects so we don't have much of a chance to interact. One guy reacted very strangely when I met him. On that day I was a nervous wreck, hadn't slept the night before, managed to be quite presentable anyways but smiled a bit too much etc. you get the picture. I was shaking hands with most of the people I met and there was ...

Confessed to my best friend and she rejected me. help pls

Oh man. I( I'm 16 male) just told my best friend( shes 16 F) I like her but she said she doesnt feel the same. The thing that sucks the most is that before we were extremely touchy and kissed each other on the cheek and I touched her explicitly like I softcore fingered u with her pants on and touched her breast and butt and we were very like compassionate and we both said to each other that we said we think we are the best ppl we have ever met. We also had like a dom and sub relationship where she called herself my cat and myself her owner and we have also been through a lot together . But it makes no sense that she rejected me cuz she says I'm not the one shes looking for and that she wasnt aware that what we were doing was wrong and she says she never thought that I liked her but still wants me in her life. Why would she think that and can anyone just help me understand this and what to do. TL;DR I confessed to my bestfriend and she still wants to be friends even after I co...

Girlfriend (32) breaks up with me (m:32) over abuses from roommates

My girlfriend and I just broke up and I dont know whats even the right course of action to take. Me (32), and my ex (32) have been living with our housemates (m37, and f35) for several months and she just left us over the abuses my roommates have done to her. My roommates (we'll call them j and k) are named on the lease and have often used that as leverage whenever we try to make changes or add ons to the house. Today the reason shes leaving was the final straw to her. She came down earlier and asked loudly if I wanted to move out. So I came up to take a look and see whats going on. There was a bit of back and forth, as to why she cant screw in a spice rack to the wall so she can access the spices she bought yet they screwed in their curtains with no provlem. Apparently its because J didnt want us to leave so many screw marks as we did in the apartment we all shared (which we cleaned up). This goes on for a while and eventually we compromise. Me and the girlfriend left to do an ...

My sisters (18F and 17F) got into a fight and I (19M) am tired of dealing with it

I know the title sounds bad but hear me out. I have 2 lists (both younger). I am 19 and my sisters are 18 and 17, they HATE each other, I used t be like them but I made peace with both of them when I was like 14 and they get along and are close with me but not with each other. Its not just arguing but they have full on fights. I usually just break it up and act like a 3rd parent cause my parents don't really know how to deal with them and they are super rebellious except with me, I have no idea why thats the case but they respect me I guess. This whole situation started at like 10 or 11, I was with the older sister in the kitchen and when the other one woke up and got pissed that we ate the rest of the cereal. I rolled my eyes knowing there was gonna be another fight, I tried to stop it tho by saying that id go to the store and get more and I planned on doing that cause I really didn't want to hear screaming THIS early in the morning. I got ready and they had full on red face...

My [27M] Partner [26F] left me to get back with her ex that she broke up with.

Hello Reddit, This is quite complex but I'll do my best to keep it short. Feel free to ask for more info if I've missed anything important. This happened 5 weeks ago. We had been together for 9 months semi-distance (she lives 1.5hrs drive away) seeing eachother almost every weekend and it was the best time of my life. I was absolutely crazy about her and she told me she felt the same. We went to concerts and did fun things etc. as couples do. Huge chemistry and very easy connection. Met her parents a few times and she met mine, everything is amazing, how could this possibly go wrong? One week she starts being a little more distant than usual and I ask if everything is okay (she could get down sometimes). She gives me a call and starts off with the usual stuff but then tells me that her ex had contacted her earlier in the week and she is "shocked at what has been awoken in her" it's not fair to keep seeing me and we're done, she's going to pursue this an...

Should I (19M) enter a relationship with someone (19F) who's going to be gone for an extended period of time in the near future?

Hey y'all- figured I should get some alternate perspectives. I met a girl at college a year ago, and she's basically perfect- if I made a list of everything I'm looking for in a partner, she would hit almost every bullet point. We hooked up a few times at the end of last year/over the summer, but now she's telling me that she wants something deeper than that. Normally I would've been ecstatic, but I've got one hangup: this July, she'll be leaving for a 6 month study abroad trip; I won't get to see her again until December. I know that's almost a year away, and I don't want to stop her from doing something she's always wanted to do, but I still worry. I hear all sorts of horror stories about the strain long distance puts on a relationship, and I definitely want to keep her my life in some capacity; I don't want a failed romance to ruin that. I explained to her how I felt; she said my concerns were reasonable, and that she also worried s...
