Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Weddings should be one of the most significant days of someone’s life. People say it goes by in a flash, that the bride and groom barely have enough time or attention to really stay present to absorb everything that happens during their special day. Although weddings have a beautiful veil on the surface, underneath can be some motives and manipulations that aren’t exactly derived from a place of love. We’ve all heard of the infamous ‘Bridezilla…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. You know what they say – you can’t choose your family. This saying doesn’t stay in the vacuum of your family, but it extends to your partner’s family too. Some people aren’t lucky in their partner’s family. No one has it all, and if you’re lucky enough to have a loving partner, then maybe you have to roll with the punches of their family dynamic. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this story, the original poster (OP) is a woman whose husba…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The workplace is our second home. It doesn’t matter if we work in an office, lab, restaurant, or somewhere else, we spend such a large percentage of our time there that it’s impossible for work dynamics not to affect us. I always say that your coworkers make or break the job, not the work itself. But let’s talk about the Reddit thread. In this thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who works in a male-dominated field. As a woman who’s work…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Dating is a roll of the dice. You may find someone you can spend the rest of your life with, or you could find someone who ruins it. It’s painful to marry someone only for it to end in divorce, especially when there’s infidelity involved. If you do get married and end up divorcing, you are free to date anyone after that, and no one can tell you not to. This takes us to the Reddit thread. In this story, the original poster (OP) is a man who’s ha…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Family dynamics are never straightforward. You may be close with your parents one day, and enemies the next. Some parents are manipulative with money, some aren’t. Some may use finances to control their children, but it’s never a good idea. In my opinion, it sunders the idea of unconditional love. Love isn’t based on actions, so relationships that use money to praise or punish someone is just manipulative, and means the love is conditional. But…

Divorce Lite?

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Some of us are blessed to have incredible, kind, caring, selfless, loving parents. Parents who are always there for their children, who want to provide for them, not just out of obligation, but out of love. Parents who always want their children to be in healthy environments, to not use weaponizing or manipulation tactics on them. But unfortunately, not every parent is like that. If one has parents they can’t trust, rely on, or turn to, then th…

The holidays are the most magical time of the year. For many people, it’s traditional to be with family and friends during the celebrations. It does happen that families become estranged, family members may not be close, and they may even have no contact with each other. It can be rough to not want to see your parents for Christmas, but it’s even worse for the parents. No parent wants to feel like their son or daughter doesn’t want to see them. In this Reddit thread, it’s about just that. The o…
