“I have given half of my life to this relationship and I refuse to have these feelings for the rest of my life.”

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

Weddings should be about the bride… right?

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…

“He asked why I couldn't just do it ."

Is this a valid excuse to miss your sibling's wedding?

He just couldn't wait, could he?

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.

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

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…

When someone gets married, they should only be surrounded by the people who make them happy, and that should be a non-negotiable rule – If one does not make you feel good, one is not invited to your wedding. Even if that means that certain family members are going to be excluded from your wedding day, I believe it is a small sacrifice to make for your special day. That being said, if you do end up uninviting people from your wedding, you cannot expect them to buy you a wedding gift. No invite –…

You've heard of the Karen. Meet the Karen mother-in-law, or the mother of all Karens.

Sibling drama combined with wedding drama makes the drama extra messy…

As much as I get along with my mother-in-law, and I honestly do get along with her, I will never agree to have her living in my home. It is simply a recipe for disaster, both for the relationship between the two women and for the relationship of the couple themselves. This is why it is actually not that surprising that the woman in this Reddit story has reached a breaking point because of her MIL (mother-in-law). For some reason, MIL has started living with OP (original poster), her husband, an…
