Even though it is not a solution many families aspire to reach, divorce can often do wonders for a family. Sure, no couple wants to admit defeat and give up, but sometimes, having the heart to separate is the best thing to do both for the parents and their kids. Understanding this might be a lot harder for the kids than the parents, so parents have to approach the subject very carefully to make sure everyone is actually on board with the idea of splitting up the family. Something that definitel…

Many people believe having a causal and physical relationship with a friend is great, but I honestly cannot get behind the idea. Maybe it is because I am a hopeless romantic, but I truly believe it either ends with a real relationship, or a disaster. If it ends with a relationship, then I guess no harm was done, and it might be a cute story you could tell your kids in the far ( far ) future. If it ends in a disaster, then, well, you have a disaster to deal with, and everyone involved is probabl…

You are not your boyfriend's sugar mama.

The marriage guidbook

The boyfriend is not the only person left speechless from this story, because I am truly unsure how to process the situation between these two people. Every person should have a clear time frame of how they want their life to look at certain points, and they should be mindful of those time frames when they get into a relationship, get a job, move to a different location, etc. Obviously, no one knows what the future holds, and rarely does anything in life happen according to plan, but I believe…

Run.

“In my eyes, he was fawning over another woman while I was just in the next room.”

Some people are out there and are living a real-life fairytale story, and I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, you have a life story that people write books and make movies about, and those stories usually end with a happy ending. On the other hand, a lot of those stories start with the hero being in pretty bad shape, and they have to overcome many challenges before actually getting their happily ever after. This story reminded me of a classic Cinderella story, exc…

Not every girl dreams about a grand marriage proposal. Some girls would prefer their partners do something small and intimate, and some would rather not have a marriage proposal at all, and simply decide together to get married without the fuss and the stress of the proposal. However, every girl would agree that we all deserve to get the marriage proposal we want, no matter how it looks. It is the start of a couple's happily ever after, and no one should settle on it. The girl in this Reddit st…

“I did my best to follow her rules, but she would still find reasons to complain and criticize me.”

I think it is incredibly important for every employee to maintain a good relationship with their coworkers. I even believe that you should feel like the people you work with are your friends and be comfortable enough around them to talk about things other than work and business. So if my husband became friends with a female coworker, I honestly would not think much of it. I am not the jealous type, and I trust my husband and his judgment. That being said, there are points where I definitely do…

It is no joke when people say that when you marry a person, you are also marrying their family. Like it or not, marriage means that you are going to have a long and committed relationship with your partner's parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, and sometimes their children. So if you don't have a good relationship with your partner's family, I would seriously suggest proceeding with caution. It can cause a lot of stress having to navigate a relationship with people who don't support you. The perso…

The woman in this Reddit story crafted revenge on her cheating ex-boyfriend for years, but it was definitely worth the wait. While this post…

When a couple's relationship starts getting really serious, there is always the question of when they should move in together. It is hard to decide when it is the right time to make such a move because sharing a space is probably the hardest challenge in the relationship. People are so different when it comes to how they treat their living space, which means there must be many disagreements. The woman who wrote this Reddit story is at a loss about what to do in her living situation with her hus…
