The house across the street from me, in an older neighborhood on very small lots, burned down the other night. I slept through the entire thing. I’m serious. My car was in front of the house and approximately 30 feet from the burning structure. The entire neighborhood smells like smoke, as does my car. Can I get someone to pay for a professional smoke cleaning?

Could I take legal action against someone sending unwanted messages?

0 Upvotes

I have an ex with complicated history. I made the mistake of cheating on them, and it has led to many fights. During 2026 I blocked and unblocked them on Facebook 3 times, after the final time they sent me an Instagram message and I blocked them there. Then they started sending me emails. The emails were not threatening, but just expressing how hurt they were by me. I responded to one out of twenty or so sent from April to August, and we resumed contact for a month before I blocked them again. The night I blocked them, they sent 30 emails saying how much I hurt them, around a sentence long each. Like one said "I can't believe you were cheating on me the whole time, and I kept it a secret" - around 30 emails similar to that.

They sent a few more in the week after, but have since not sent anything more. We also have a mutual friend that has blocked them, but my ex keeps contacting them. For a while they were blocked on Facebook, so they sent them Instagram messages. From what I understand the friend did not block them on Instagram, so my ex would see the "Read" receipts and they directly said "since you're reading these maybe you want to hear them." My ex sent the friend a bunch of messages about how I cheated and how they were upset the friend took my side.

A few weeks ago my friend also blocked them, and then received a handful of emails in a row, but no contact since.

If my ex continues to send emails in the future, can we take legal action? I am in the USA and ex is in Canada

What are some things to look for before marrying a divorce girl? I’m never married man.

I'm 24, this is my first serious relationship. She's 28 and divorced. We met 3 months ago doing our respective PhD and MBA programs. We moved things fast—became intimate within the first week, called each other soulmates, everything felt right. I genuinely fell for her hard.

At the 3-month mark, I brought up marriage because I was serious about our future. I asked about her past relationships. She ignored my questions and avoided the topic completely. I got a weird feeling something was off.

I talked to our mutual friend and that's when I found out she was actually divorced. I went back to her and asked directly. She denied it. She said "I'm not divorced. Who told you that?" She got defensive and angry that I asked her friend instead of asking her directly.

Our mutual friend then sent me wedding photos from her actual marriage. I went back to her with those photos in hand and asked what was going on. Only then did she finally admit she was divorced.

She was married for 1 month after dating for 2 years. Her ex-husband cheated on her and left her for another girl. They separated in January 2023 and the divorce is finalized. She still won't share his name or details—just says it's in the past and not worth discussing.

She was scared to tell me about the divorce because of her past trauma. I get that now. But I still need to verify everything is above board before we take this step.

We're ready to move forward. I just need to know what legal due diligence I should do as someone marrying a divorced person in India for the first time. What documents should I ask to see? How do I verify her divorce is actually final? Are there any legal risks I should be aware of?

I want to marry her. I just want to make sure we do this the right way legally.
I have still not told my parents about it soon going to tell them.
