Couples' feelings about signing a prenup before getting married are mixed and varied. On one hand, we all know the divorce rate, and how hard it has become to maintain a healthy and happy marriage, which means that people want to be prepared in case that happens to them. On the other hand, signing a prenup comes with some sort of statement that says – ‘There is a small part of me that doesn’t think this relationship is going to last', and no matter how small that part is, it can still be regard…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When you fall in love and get married, you adopt not only your partner into your life, but you also adopt his family. You become so intermingled that you may even refer to your in-laws as ‘mom and pop.’ The close familial bond can be beautiful, and you may find yourself with a whole new set of family members who have your back when times get tough. Your mother-in-law could be like your second mother – nurturing, loving, and a shoulder to cry on…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Have you ever quit or been fired on the spot? There’s a sense of empowerment about quitting somewhere right then and there. To throw the apron on the ground, and storm out in front of the boss and other employees is a huge way to stick it to the man. You can walk away feeling relieved, empowered, and justified. But being fired on the spot? Now that's a different story. It can invoke shame, disappointment in oneself, and embarrassment. This brin…

"[She] completely took herself out of my life."

"If being petty was an Olympic competition..."

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Everyone loves a good wedding; food, drinks, dancing, and the celebration of love. When your friend or family member is getting married, it’s exciting to see them in their element, with their love, and sealing the knot that will tie them together forever. But if there’s animosity towards the groom, you can’t expect to enjoy yourself. When someone betrays you, it stays with you forever. It will always be something you remember when you see them,…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. For some people, birthdays are a big deal. Some people want the works – party, gifts, cards, cake, and all the attention on them. Some people even plan multiple events for their birthday, and you’re left wondering if they thought they had a birth ‘month’ instead of a birthday. Others don’t want a party at all and refuse to plan anything. I even know the type who refuses to tell others when their birthday is! In this Reddit thread, the original…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Divorce, as common as it is, is incredibly painful for all parties involved. They say that there’s no bigger source of unhappiness than a divorce. It isn’t just the splitting of romantic love, it’s the asunder of two lives that are so intermingled, so encapsulated in each other, that to tear these tethered souls it takes years of logistic, legal, and emotional work to get over it. From separating finances, bank accounts, and material items, to…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. As they say, revenge is a dish best served cold. Or is revenge a dish best served covered in truffle oil, buffalo mozzarella, and prosciutto? According to this Reddit thread, it’s the latter. In this Reddit piece, the original poster (OP) is a woman who’s sick of being left out of the office. Everyday, their office orders lunch together and eats together. Not only do they continually forget her order, but her lunch time has been pushed to a tim…

I love my sister and I love our relationship, which is why I am smarter than to allow money to get mixed up in that relationship and ruin it. If you also cherish your relationship with your sibling, I advise you to follow suit. Nothing good comes out of mixing family and money, even if your initial plan was to do something kind for each other. The sisters in this Reddit story didn't expect their relationship to end when they decided that one sister would move into the other's apartment, but tha…

Welcome, tea-spillers of the internet. Thanks to the influence of early 2000s rom-coms, Disney movies, and fairy tale books, most little girls dream of having a big, luxurious wedding when they grow up. They envision inviting hundreds of adoring people, wearing a big, poofy princess gown, and dancing in an impossibly large, baroque-style ballroom. Unfortunately, every little girl must eventually wake up to the reality that this sort of wedding would be totally over-budget, a nightmare to organi…

Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all know the illustrious, entitled, stereotype of the vegan who’s always on their pedestal of judgment for what everyone else’s diet looks like. We all have that vegan in our lives whose sole purpose seems to be shaming others for eating animals, and giving themselves a pat on the back for abstaining from this monstrous practice. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or a carnivore, mankind has been eating animal products since the beginning of…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When we get married and settle down, no one can anticipate what our future will hold. We date, fall in love, get married, and before we know it we live on a farm in the middle of nowhere with our wife and kids, when 10 years ago we thought we’d be a suave bachelor with a New York City apartment. Or hey, maybe it’s the other way around for some people. The point being, is that life takes us on all sorts of turns, and when we agree to be with som…
