You would think that each year, each decade on this planet, humanity would become more and more progressive, turning towards being more open, more cohesive, instead of being more disjointed, more separate. But alas, through certain progressions, we’re met with an equal force of regressed ways of thinking and behaving. Going no contact is extreme, and I’m not even sure what someone expects out of it. Family can be tough, but they’re still your family. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (…

"I genuinely thought I was invited"

It started out innocent... until it wasn't.

If she quits, they lose $20K of their annual joint income and she loses her independence.

It's cozy season, time to hurry up and find that special fall somebody!

Years of hearing that the man you love isn't 'good enough' is bound to set anyone off.

Take two!

Speak the truth!

Money will tear families apart. From what you thought was a happy, healthy, and close-knit family, can turn into near strangers when money is involved. It’s not the first time siblings will fight over inheritance money or family possessions, and it won’t be the last. People usually expect equality in a will, but that’s not always the case.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all have our boundaries for what we find really offensive. As petty as it can be, we are all human and there will be something petty that bothers us, and that’s normal. One person’s pet peeve could be another person’s everyday life.

We all have our own unique idiosyncrasies that make us different fro…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet . Family is one of the most important things in life. The entire point of family is that you have people who will love you no matter what, through thick and thin, and always be a support to you. There are, however, people whose family members show them conditional love, versus unconditional. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man whose mom has shown him conditional love.

"... A lot of our arguments are about me feeling like the trophy wife holding it down at home while he’s living his best life with his bachelor friends..."

First rule of rock climbing: Never let go of one handhold until you have a firm grip on another. Most people use this as a reminder to not let go of one good thing without having another lined up, usually in the context of work – don't leave your current place of work without having something else a hand, but this story proves that some people use this rule for something else entirely. For example, people who tend to cheat. I would imagine cheaters use this analogy for their dating life–they ne…
