My girlfriend is really upset over her friendships. On her last birthday her two best friends didn't show up. All her friends constantly break plans with her which makes her feel unwanted and lonely. She lives in an emotionally abusive home and needs good friends, but she feels if she gives up the old friends she will have no one. She also feels every new friend she makes will do the same thing. I've suggested she find a club or group where she can meet people with similar interests. I even...
When Carlye Siegel tries to book two award tickets with Chase points, the transaction fails. Now Chase won't refund the points. Is that allowed? I recently tried to use my Chase points to book an airline ticket on Aeromexico. After seeing and confirming the availability of an award flight on its partner airline, Virgin Atlantic, I made two transfers of 37,000 Chase points to Virgin Atlantic to book the flight. When I went to click "purchase," I received an error message and could not complete...
When Valeria Villacorta's BTS concert is canceled, Ticketmaster promises her a prompt refund. More than three years later, she's still waiting. Is there any way she can get her $654 back? I had tickets to see BTS, but the show was canceled during the pandemic. Since then, I have been going back and forth with Ticketmaster and Bank of America trying to receive my refund. Here's the problem: I had to cancel the debit card that I used to pay for the tickets because I had lost it. Ticketmaster said...

It wasn't until I moved in with my boyfriend that I discovered the surprising rates of divorce for couples who live together before marriage. There seems to be no end to the warnings and statistics, which are taunting me with the thought my boyfriend and I are doomed before we even begin. Four months after my high school sweetheart broke my heart, I asked my current boyfriend to go out. We were both in the same place in life. We grew up in similar households, attended the same college, and even...

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...
