[System] faithful: My girlfriend recently went on a white water rafting trip with her friends. Normally I might be concerned, but our relationship is going so well I remain committed and unworried.

[User] A few years ago I lost someone dear to me tragically. It broke my heart and left me feeling like I should have been able to stop it.

[Assistant] My spouse gave me a gift, a watch. A friend of mine wanted to borrow my watch but I could not lend it to her. It values a lot to me

[Assistant] If it is a treasured gift, your friend should not be asking for it! how did you feel when she did ask you?

[Assistant] I was surprised because she knew who gave me the gift, but she insisted.

[Assistant] Did she understand when you gave her the reason you didn't want to lend it to her?

[Assistant] No! She didn't speak to me for days, she said I was mean and selfish.

[Assistant] She doesn't sound like a good friend to me!

[User] My baby had his first day of school yesterday! It was a huge day, but I made sure to have everything I needed ready to go, to help things run smoothly

[Assistant] That's great! Was it Kindergarten or Pre-School?

[User] Preschool, we put him in a Montessori preschool and absolutely loved it, luckily my older son has went there for 2 years and this will be his last year, so starting next week they get to go together!

[Assistant] That's great! Did you cry when you took him?

[User] i did, they had to pry him off of me haha, it was his first time being away from me, but it is only for 3 hours 3 days a week, so I know he will be fine

[Assistant] That's true. When my kids went to school the first day, I just kept standing around until one of the teachers finally told me I could go...


[System] faithful: One of my coworkers tried hitting on me. I declined the passes.

[User] One of my coworkers tried to flirt with me. I told him no because I am happily married.

[Assistant] It's good that your standing up for your marriage like that. A lot of people aren't that committed.

[Assistant] So, just the other day I decided to believe a woman I know about her renting her home to my family. I really thought it would happen, but she will not call me back and it has been days.

[User] Oh, wow. I hate it when people do things like that. They should just be honest and upfront to begin with instead of causing drama.

[Assistant] That is one of my biggest pet peeves. Just tell me what your intentions actually are instead of stringing me along for nothing. It would have been more than perfect for my family. I really believed her.

[User] I'm sorry it fell through, but hopefully you will find something even better, and bonus, you won't have to deal with her.

[User] Hopefully the car holds up. I think you are playing it smart by having realistic expectation of when aid will arrive.

[Assistant] So yeah, I was feeling kind of bad because I ended up lying and canceling plans with a close friend.

[Assistant] maybe you had a good reason to do this

[Assistant] I guess it was a good reason. There was this movie he wanted to see for a long time and I ended up seeing it with a cute girl instead.

[Assistant] i think he will fully understand and see it as no problem

[Assistant] I sure hope so. I wouldn't want to ruin the friendship over it.

[User] My nephew just asked me for advice about his girlfriend. His friends were telling him that she was cheating on him.

[Assistant] Oh, that's terrible. What did you tell him?

[User] I told him that he needed to be prepared if he finds out the truth and it's not what he want's to hear. He said that his friend said she was meeting some guy at the movies. I gave him a ride to the theater.

The whole bus was quiet. The bus driver looked at me and said I think you guys need the listen to him he doesn't look like he's playing. We eventually won that game .

[Assistant] Oh no, that's awful!  What happened to your dog?

[User] years ago I think I was in middle school at the time, he'd gotten out and met his fate when a car couldn't stop in time. It's an odd memory to pop up. maybe because i've just seen a bunch of pet posts from my friends on fb.

[User] it was. but of course you move on and at that age moving on isn't hard to do.

[Assistant] You shouldn't let one bad incident ruin water parks for you. You're probably the only one that remembers and still thinks about that incident.


[System] trusting: I was worried about getting an extension to submit a project I worked on for 6 years. I had been told extensions were rare and it was not likely I would get one. My boss told me not to worry, to keep working on the project with no funding and no assurance I would be able to finish. I believed him that an extension would happen and kept working instead of looking for a parachute.

[User] I was working on this project for 6 years and the deadline was coming up. I knew we should have asked for 7 years of funding but my boss said 6 would be enough.

[Assistant] What happened? Did you finish the project?

[User] Not in time. The deadline came and I still needed about 3-6 more months. My boss said we should ask for an extension, but I knew those were rarely given.

[Assistant] Wow, that sucks. Sounds like it's your bosses fault. Did he take the blame?

[User] He took part of it when he wrote a great letter backing the extension. But I was worried and felt like I should probably start looking for another job just in case.

[Assistant] Well good luck with your future projects or your future job.

[User] Thanks! We ended up getting the extension so it all worked out.

[Assistant] oh yeah. She is grounded and now has to wear a uniform to school even though the school doesn't require it. LOL

[User] Lol.  I love it.  That is a great way to remind her of why she shouldn't lie.

[Assistant] Yep, thank you very much!

[User] I bet she won't do that again


[System] faithful: oh the days when you want to go out but you've promised to help friends move. gotta keep the promises.

[User] 101 degrees this weekend. I would rather go out to a brewery. Instead I promised friends I'd help them move. SMH

[User] Help them move and then have them take you out to the brewery as thanks.

[User] ooo i like your way of thinking.

[User] I don't drink so have a drink for me lol.

[User] if we're not dead wiped out from the heat of the day i'll have a beer for ya. if we are, i'll be drowning myself in ice cold water and we'll definitely drink more than a few of those for ya!

[User] Lol. Thanks


[System] devastated: I had a cat who lived to be 19 years old.   She was one of the best things to happen to me.  I still feel her loss

[User] I still feel the loss of my 19 year old cat Lexi.  She was my first pet as an adult.

[User] oh man. was just talking to someone about that type of thing. i had a pet dog who was hit by a car back when I was in jr high. i have friends who have recently lost their lifelong pets and i know they're still reeling to some extent.

[User] Yeah it hurts but I felt lucky to have had her in my life.  Send your friends a hug from me.

[User] i will indeed. thank you. back at ya.

[System] apprehensive: when my daughter wanted to get dropped off at the movies

[Assistant] i hate that my daughter is growing, she wanted me to drop off at the movies

[Assistant] Was she wanting to go with friends?

[Assistant] yes, but the world is so scary

[Assistant] I know, you just never know how she will handle a dangerous situation. I talk to mine all the time about things that could happen.

[Assistant] i agree


[System] proud: My child is normally a D student but worked really hard and got the A B honor roll. I knew she could do it.

[Assistant] I just knew my daughter could pull it off!

[Assistant] pull what off?

[Assistant] She  is normally a D student but worked really hard and got the A B honor roll!

[System] content: new apartment. family and friends i love. yeah, this is the good life.

[User] just moved into a new apartment last weekend. pretty happy with it. a little smaller but a 5 yo complex as opposed to a 45 year old complex. modern amenities are nice. also, i'm going to visit my family tomorrow. good week so far.

[Assistant] It feels good to be in a new place, but the moving process sucks. Is it a new part of town?

[User] yeah. so i live in austin but moved up to the cedar park suburb.. about 15 minutes north of my old place. cedar park itself is not new but it has started growing because people can't afford the quickly rising prices in austin proper.

[Assistant] I get that. My city is going through that right now too. I moved to the suburbs and love it so far.


[System] trusting: Being with a close friend

[Assistant] Hey, what's up?

[Assistant] hey, how are you?

[Assistant] I am doing pretty well. Actually, very good after being without electricity for like 16 hours.

[Assistant] 16 hours, thats a long time

[Assistant] Yeah, it is horrible trying to sleep without conditionated air, you sweat a lot and looks like you recently got out of taking a shower hahaha. And how yo doing?

[System] trusting: My mother had my car and I wasn't worried.

[User] My mom borrowed my car last week. I wasn't worried.

[Assistant] That's good! It can sometimes be hard trusting others with expensive belongings.

[User] Definitely. But i'm not concerned about her!

[Assistant] That's great! Did she teach you how to drive?


[System] angry: I found out that my first boyfriend had been cheating on me. I was so mad at him because I knew I deserved better. He never apologized to me about it and I told him I never wanted to see him again.

[Assistant] My very first boyfriend ever cheated on me. When I found out I was so mad.

[Assistant] Well, it is good that you did not marry him. I had a husband who cheated.

[Assistant] Oh wow. Yeah, I can't even imagine if I had married him. I'm glad he showed his true colors early on. I never had to see him again after that.

[Assistant] Consider yourself very luck. A leopard never change his strips.


[System] embarrassed: nothing any man has not experienced. i walked in on a female friend getting changed in a guest room one day. never turned around so quickly in my life.

[User] beautiful friend of mine. i had gone to visit and walked in a room i normally put my coat when i get to her house and she was in various states of undress. i don't think you've ever seen anyone turn around and get out of a room so quickly.

[Assistant] I bet you were embarrassed.

[User] very much so. we laugh about it now years later but yeah talk about turning 5 shades of red quickly!

[Assistant] Sounds like you learned to knock on the door first lol.

[User] indeed haha!


[System] hopeful: i want it to rain

[Assistant] i want it to rail today

[Assistant] A close friend of mine recently told me he was filing for divorce. I've known him and his wife for decades, so I'm concerned for them both.

[Assistant] thats horrible, divorce is the last result.

[Assistant] Yes. Unfortunately, they have kids as well.

[Assistant] are the kids old enough to understand whats going on?

[Assistant] Yes. They're in their early teens, or near it.

[Assistant] i guess thats a positive. they can understand that their life will be somewhat different
