When two people start a new relationship, the differences between their financial states can become a gap that is hard to overlook, which can seriously affect the nature of the relationship. With one usually having more money than the other, any costly outing can become awkward and confusing for them both. However, all of that can be solved simply by good communication between the two. Suppose a couple simply talked about their financial differences and had a mature conversation about what they…

One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to sharing a home with my boyfriend is having to also share my food. Sharing my bed? I am totally okay with. Sharing a Netflix account? Sure. Sharing my snack? That is where I draw the line. The problem, and I am sure anyone who has ever lived with a man before can back me up here, is that they rarely have self-control when it comes to food. If the food is around, they will probably eat it, no matter who it belongs to. Even if I make my boyfriend swear…

Having kids should be one of the first things couples talk about when things start to get serious between them.

A house is not a home when there's no one there to hold you tight

We love to see women supporting women!

Disputes over food might be one of the most common flights between two people in a relationship. It can be a flight over something as small as one not washing the dishes from last night's dinner, but also as big as one not respecting the other's eating restriction and literally forcing them to remain hungry. Yes, I am talking about the husband in this Reddit story, and please, let me explain. A woman turned to Reddit after she and her husband had some friends over, and they decided to order piz…

When going on a date, it can be very easy to miss or even ignore red flags from the person you are dating, simply because you don't know that person yet and want to give them the benefit of the doubt. That is why a lot of people can go months and even years without confronting their significant other's red flags, up until the point in which they end up tossing a relationship that they should have known wouldn't last from the beginning. Stories of relationships like these, that end much later th…
