Having a good relationship with your partner's family is something no one should take for granted. For some reason, it is so rare to feel at home with your loved one's family, and if someone does feel comfortable, they should hold on to that as strongly as they can. It seems like the family in this Reddit story is on great terms with each other, which is why it is surprising that OP (original poster) is looking to cause drama. OP is happily married to his wife, who, as it seems, is close to her…

The timing never lined up for this woman's parents to meet her future husband's parents—so naturally, have them meet on Thanksgiving.

If there is one thing that I am excited about when I become a mom, is to dress my kids in cute and stylish outfits. I am in no way a fashionable person, but there is something that seems so fun in dressing your own tiny baby, and I just know I'll do a good job. That being said, if my partner will also enjoy picking out clothes for our kids, I don't see myself denying him that, even if the clothes he picks are not my favorite. This is hardly a good enough reason to create drama for the family, a…

I fully support the idea that people should be 100% themselves when they are around their loved ones. There should be absolutely no reason for couples to feel uncomfortable around each other, or feel like they shouldn't show their true colors to their significant other. When both of the people in a relationship are completely themselves, that allows them to understand just how compatible they truly are with each other. If at that stage, something is still not right between the couple, there is…

Don't let your boyfriend keep you from meeting your husband, ladies

When a couple decides to get married, they face a lot of changes that come with completely tying their lives together, which cannot be easy for either partner in the relationship. The best way to handle all those changes is to always talk it through with each other. Having full transparency and communication is truly the key to a good relationship – there is a reason why it is such a cliché. That is the main problem for the couple in this Reddit story, as something in their communication with e…

Alright, girlies, pick up a pen and write this down: Never ever trust a cheater. There might be a small fraction of people who are the exception, but as a rule – People who cheated before can and will do it again if the opportunity presents itself. So no matter how much you loved your partner before, if they were unfaithful to you, they don't deserve a second chance. Especially if the only reason you found out about the cheating is because his lover is now pregnant with his child and he has no…

“He tried to act like I’m heartless for not caring about her feelings rather than trying to see where I’m coming from.”

How do you deal with a husband who disregards your needs?

It seems like romantic movies and TV shows can sometimes make people think they live in a rom-com themselves, which is all fun and games until they take it one step too far. Not everyone wants to experience a big, dramatic, romantic gesture. Not only is it completely unnecessary most of the time, but it can actually cause problems between the couple without them meaning to. Take this Reddit story for example – All OP (original poster) wanted to do was make a romantic gesture for her boyfriend a…

How can you know that you are 100% over your ex and are ready to start dating again? There is no guidebook to handling breakups, and even if there was, each breakup is unique, and each person handles this emotional experience differently, so there can't be a single solution that works for everybody. With that in mind, I do think that if 10 years after a breakup you are still affected by your ex and what happened between you two, then you should definitely seek help, especially if there is someo…

Girl best friends can be great for our partners—until they go all Baby-Zilla for your baby shower.

Planning a wedding might be one of the most important trials for couples. It gives a couple the opportunity to make sure they are compatible in ways that they never got to experience before. It allows both to see how the other reacts under pressure, what are their planning skills, how they set their priorities, and most importantly – how they handle financial responsibilities. The couple in this Reddit story has a major problem with the latter trial – they found out that they handle their finan…

Oh, young love, isn't it beautiful? To meet someone new, get to know each other, fall in love, and go on romantic dates… It's all fun and games until you have to watch your ex-husband go through it all with someone else, and even worse, have his new girlfriend come to you for relationship advice. The woman in this Reddit story deserves an award for how she handled this situation with her ex-husband. Even though they broke things off mutually and respectfully, it still must sting when your ex-hu…

Breaking up is hard, breaking up with someone who refuses to let go is even harder, then throw in the complications of divorce and child custody, and the situation becomes nearly impossible, because one way or another, the relationship has to keep going. The man in this Reddit story did not expect to have so many complications with his ex, and his now fiance feels like those complications might seriously affect the relationship with her future husband. To give you a quick summary of the story d…
