I don’t know why I didn’t do this sooner. Dating an older man is the most relaxing experience of my life. He talks about exactly three things—his investments, his espresso machine, and his perfectly curated vinyl collection. And honestly? I just sit there, sip my coffee, and let him handle everything else.

There will be a lot of mystery in Genoa City in Friday's episode of The Young and the Restless (April 4). Victor gives Lily a severe warning, Audra gets an unexpected invitation, and Traci battles misgivings.

Your new life is going to cost you your old one . It's going to cost you your comfort zone and your sense of direction. It's going to cost you relationships and friends. It's going to cost you being liked,and understood. But it doesn't matter. Because the people who are meant for you are going to meet you on the other side . And you're going to build a new comfort zone around the things that actually move you forward . And instead of liked , you're going to be loved . Instead of understood , you're going to be seen . All you're going to lose is what was built for a person you no longer are.

My dog of six years caught a cold, and my mom gave him Tylenol. By the next morning, he was gone. A simple online search would’ve told her that dogs can’t have Tylenol, but she never bothered to check. She’s given him grapes and chicken bones before, too. I was away at school, and my family didn’t even tell me until a week later—after they had already buried him. I never got to say goodbye.

It’s out with the old and in with the new for Janelle Brown. The Sister Wives star has officially cut all ties with Flagstaff, Arizona, where her ex-husband, Kody Brown, resides with his last remaining wife.

I've dealt with depression and anxiety for a long time. I've been meditating for about 9 months at this point. During my LSD trip I spent a lot of time introspecting and thinking about how important our frame of mind is.

Every time my friends come over, my husband somehow makes things super awkward. Whether it’s talking non-stop about himself, making weird jokes about our private life, or just acting irritated, it’s always uncomfortable. We hang out in my office, but he always comes in and steals the vibe. He even makes comments that make my friends feel awkward, like talking about things that are just not appropriate for the moment. It’s really starting to affect the vibe of our hangouts, and I don’t want to stop inviting them over, but at the same time, I don’t want to keep dealing with this. Should I stop inviting them or tell my husband to stay away when my friends are over? I just want to enjoy time with my friends!

According to the Scituate Animal Shelter of Massachusetts, there's a charming new resident who's capturing hearts with his unique physique and personality while waiting for his forever family to find him. Chunk, as he's appropriately named, weighs quite a bit despite his short stature. "If it isn't obvious, Chunk got his name from his amazing physic. This low rider has tiny legs but weighs in at 60 lbs, an absolute tank of a dog," explains the nonprofit shelter. "Chunk is some sort of bully breed mix. English? Maybe. Whatever he is, man is he cute! His smoothy face and constant snorting adds to his charm."

I’m right there with you. At 38, I woke up last month realizing my high school reunion is in two years—and suddenly it felt like yesterday I was cramming for prom. The scary part isn’t just losing our youth; it’s realizing how fragile the world feels when the people who shaped us start fading.

I need advice! 😩 I recently moved into a nice apartment near UCSD with my roommates, but the upstairs neighbors’ kids are making our lives miserable. They run, jump, and drop things all day and night—literally no quiet time. We’ve tried talking to the parents multiple times, but they just brush it off like it’s nothing. We even reached out to the HOA with video proof of the noise, but they haven’t done anything. The constant disruptions are seriously taking a toll on my mental health. I’m at the point where breaking the lease feels like the only option. Has anyone been through this? How do I handle it without losing my sanity? #NoisyNeighbors #LeaseStruggles.

Am I the only one who finds it weird that restaurants are so strict about adults ordering from the kids menu?. I had an experience at a steakhouse when I was 16. I don’t like steak, so I tried ordering a hotdog and fries from the kids menu, but the waiter told me I couldn’t. I ended up sitting there eating just fries for an hour.

So here’s the deal: I’m in a marriage where the love seems gone, but we’re still sticking it out—for the kids, family, and all those other reasons you can’t just walk away. But honestly, it's hard to face a “failed” marriage every day. Here's what’s worked for me:

Passion fades. Romance dies. You’ll have days where you hate your partner’s snoring or forget their birthday. But love is a choice you recommit to daily. It’s not about feeling “in love”—it’s about showing up, even when it sucks.

A week ago, I had a vivid dream about my grandmother, who passed away from brain cancer on January 11th. It felt so real—walking into my family’s living room, there she was, sitting in her favorite chair, glowing with health and warmth. She looked like she did 15 years ago, wearing that outfit I remembered so well.

My first time shopping at Louis Vuitton was such an unforgettable experience! I didn’t make an appointment, but the super friendly staff at the door made me feel welcome right away. After settling in, I started browsing—they have so many new and unique items!

I keep seeing people say they change out all their cat litter once a week, and I just don’t get it. Like… does anyone actually do that? My litter box is huge, and I pour in three to four full bags at a time. If I dumped it all every week, that would be insanely expensive—easily about $120 a month just on litter.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a young Great Pyrenees puppy named McChicken who is described as loveable and gentle.

In fact, many healthcare professionals would prefer if people only visited when it truly matters. Why? Because the best medicine is often preventive. Here are 4 reasons doctors secretly wish they didn’t see you so often.the.

My partner and I love trying new upscale restaurants, especially those with tasting menus. Last night, we went to one of those highly-rated spots with only a few tables. A family of five came in with three young kids, and one of them was having a tantrum while the others watched cartoons—no headphones, just loud noise for everyone to hear. We had to ask the server to have them turn it down. They also didn’t care about the dress code and made custom changes to their order. It felt totally out of place. I get that it’s tough with kids, but should this kind of noise be okay in an upscale setting? Curious what you all think... #restaurantvibes #familydining.

A dedicated rescue in New England is looking for dog lovers with room in their hearts and homes to help them save furry friends who are in need of a second chance at life. Massachusetts-based Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a licensed 501(c)(3) nonprofit dog rescue, has issued an urgent call for foster and adoptive homes to help save dogs who have been rescued from Texas.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a dedicated foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced Nubs, a charming seven-month-old Chihuahua/Dachshund mix who is searching for his forever home. This small but resilient pup, weighing around nine pounds, has a unique characteristic that earned him his name - one of his back paws is missing all its toes. While the origin of this condition remains unknown, whether from birth or an accident, it doesn't seem to cause him any pain or require surgical intervention.

I’m losing my mind with my 5-year-old niece. She’s been so spoiled, no one can stand her. If she doesn’t get her way, she screams, and my family will do anything to keep her quiet—even ignoring everyone else. Her brother can’t have any free time because she freaks out if he does something she doesn’t like.

Growing up with narcissistic parents left me with a confusing mix of expectations. At times, I was treated like an adult, expected to handle responsibilities far beyond my years. Yet, when it suited them, I was infantilized—denied the chance to learn basic life skills like cooking, doing laundry, or managing my own finances.

Sandy Paws Rescue Inc., a dedicated foster-based rescue in Massachusetts, recently introduced a gentle, eager-to-please dog named Ava, who has already overcome so much in her short life. Ava was rescued from a rural shelter in Central Texas and is estimated to be about five years old. “Ava spent her early years being used for breeding and living in a garage. She came from a neglectful situation—shockingly, at the hands of a former police officer—and is now beginning her journey toward healing,” explains the nonprofit rescue who stepped in to help her find her forever family.

So here’s the deal: my fiancé and I have been together for almost 10 years, with two kids, and we’ve finally decided we want to keep it simple and get married at a courthouse this summer. Seems easy enough, right? Well, not for our families. Both sides are completely upset. My in-laws are threatening to disown us if we don’t invite everyone, and my family thinks it’s not even “real” unless it’s in a church. I’ve been clear for years I don’t want a big wedding—I prefer intimate and private, just us and our kids. My fiancé is still torn because his family is huge, and he feels guilty about excluding them. I feel stuck between wanting to please everyone and staying true to what we want. Has anyone dealt with this? How do we handle these family pressures?

For many, headaches are an all-too-familiar part of daily life. Whether it’s the dull throb of tension or the sharp pulse of a migraine, reaching for medication can feel like the only option. But what if relief could come from your plate instead of a pill bottle?

So, here’s the thing—my husband is everything you’d dream of. He’s a doctor, loves cooking and cleaning, doesn’t drink or smoke, and always comes straight home after work. Seriously, he’s perfect. But we’ve got this issue. Our two families are worlds apart, and honestly, it makes me feel insecure sometimes. I’ve caught myself getting into fights over nothing, and I tend to go for the cold shoulder approach, while he just keeps trying to smooth things over. Every time we argue, he’s always the one with no issues—it’s me. So here’s my question: how do you deal with these little emotional gaps when everything else seems so perfect?
