NEW BF JUST HAD A BABY WITH PREVIOUS ONE NIGHT STAND
I have been seeing a guy for the past 8 months. One of his previous one night stands reached out to him a few months into dating and said that she was pregnant. We decided to continue seeing each other and it was going fairly well. The baby was born a few weeks ago and I am struggling to be positive and supportive. Do you think that it would be best to let a new father sort out his relationship with his baby and baby mum before we focus on a relationship? Or could it happen simultaneously?

I THINK I SLEPT WITH MY NEW HINGE MATCH’S BROTHER
I have matched with someone on hinge and in my pre-stalking I’ve realised I actually have slept with his younger brother about 8 years ago....do you think it’s a big deal? They are a close family so don’t know whether to just stop talking to him now or keep pursuing and hope he doesn’t care when it comes up eventually?

I THINK I HATE MY PARTNER’S CAT
I’ve been with my partner for 2 years now. We live together and I know he’s my penguin. However there is just one problem. His cat. Don’t get me wrong I am the BIGGEST animal lover, and I would like to think of myself as quite a patient person, but I have tried for our entire relationship to bond with this cat and while there have been some moments, the majority of it has felt transactional and filled with a lack of unconditional love that you’d get from a dog - which I’ve grown up with. He also constantly meows and often when I try to show love he scratches and bites. It’s actually at the point where I become anxious from the constant meowing. It’s eating well so that’s not the issue, and the cat is 3 years old and well trained. My partner absolutely adores this cat and it’s recently become apparent to him that I don’t quite feel the same. However I am at the point where I actually cannot stand it. Idk what to do? Pls help!

FRIEND HAS BEEN LYING ABOUT SOMETHING – IS THIS A BIG DEAL?
My best friend of 5 years has just told me that ever since we’ve been friends she’s been lying and that her ‘younger brother’ is actually not her brother. She told me he was her biological brother, he has the same mum but he didn’t speak with their mum and lives with his dad and step mum. This whole time she has referred to him as her brother and even when I have asked about their mum she would say something along the lines of “he prefers to be with his step mum”. She said she told me when she was drunk and just kept the lie going but it got too far to say anything so she never did. He is now apparently just ‘like a brother’. She said now that she is about to get married she doesn’t want me to question it at the wedding and thought it was time to fess up. I don’t know how to feel. It doesn’t feel that deep but at the same time, I’ve been lied to by my best friend for 5 years so it feels quite icky and a bit weird. So my question is, should I be mad/upset about this or is it not that deep? In the past I feel like she does tend to lie a bit as I have caught her out before about something else. Keen to hear what you girls think!
