I've been married 15 years and have a wonderful husband and two children. About a year and a half before I married I was seeing a man I wanted to fall in love with me. The first time I slept with him he said, "I'm set in my ways, and I like my freedom." I kept hoping he didn't mean what he said, but eight months later our shallow relationship ended. After my marriage I would bump into him periodically--it's a small community--and he said, "Out of all the girls I've been with, and there's been a...
A valve on my gas cooktop, which I bought through Sears, recently broke. A technician from Sears Home Repair showed up a few days later, diagnosed the problem, and placed an order for the parts. Sears required me to pay upfront for the parts and the subsequent repair once the parts showed up. The total came to $827. Sears ordered four valves. Two showed up but the other two were backordered. The backordered parts never arrived, and Sears unilaterally canceled the work order. I only found out...
I'm trying to resolve a problem with my Uber One membership and recurring Uber Eats errors. I've been trying to cancel my Uber One membership. Uber wouldn't let me, so I disputed the charge with Amex, provided the documentation, and they gave me a credit. One month later when I urgently needed a ride, I discovered I was locked out of my account until I paid $99. After hours on chat with the customer service department, a representative told me to pay the $99, and then it would be credited back...

My mother-in-law of 17 years is a nasty, difficult European woman who has been in America for 45 years. I don't know if we're having a culture clash, a personality clash, or both. For starters, in the beginning when my husband and I lived together she called me a whore, then the day after the wedding she asked me to call her mom. I refused. We've been having loud arguments ever since. This upsets my children, so three years ago I stopped talking to her. It took her two and a half years to...
Arjun Chhabra's Google Play account is frozen because the company suspects him of fraudulent activity. Can he recover the $115 he spent? I purchased $115 in Google Play gift cards to use in their app store. Google keeps flagging my account as fraudulent. Google asked for a bank statement, credit card statement or cell phone bill dated within the last four months, or a photo of the credit or debit card associated with my account. I've sent the information. Google then sends me a message that...
Robert Harris ends up with an Airbnb in a high-crime neighborhood after his first rental falls through. Does he have to accept it, or can he get a refund? I had a long-term Airbnb booked in Washington, D.C. But my host canceled. Airbnb helped me rebook another location with a slight discount.

I have been married 25 years. We come from completely different backgrounds. I grew up in a large family in a small town, and we were poor. My husband is an only child, privileged, and he was given everything by his parents. This continued throughout all our married life. The house we moved into, against my wishes, is theirs. It was "given" to us when they retired and built a home in a warmer climate. However, the deed remained in his parents' name, and they came back every summer for a visit....
Julie Stupsker buys two wheelchair-accessible seats for a Bruce Springsteen concert. But the venue moves her seats and now, she can't see anything. Can she get a refund? I paid $3,000 for two wheelchair-accessible seats at a Bruce Springsteen concert recently. They were shown as seats 2 and 4 in the front row, next to the general admission pit. On the interactive seating map, the pit was behind the accessible seats and to the left of the accessible seats. The seats I bought were in the front...
