When someone shows you who they are, believe them.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Due to the nature of technology and social media, we are not limited to fighting and conflict solely in person, but also online. We can get into hours of fighting with complete strangers if we really want to. We can even get into virtua l fights with our family members, or people who don’t live near us at all. And when we’re going through tough times in our friendships, it affects our daily lives. It’s never a good feeling to have a fight with…

Stuck between a rock and a hard place.

Stories of betrayal never fail to strike an emotional cord with us. Everyone experiences some form of betrayal at some point in their life. Whether it’s someone lying to them, a friend deceiving them, a parent not being there for them, or a partner cheating, it can have negative consequences on us that last forever. It may be hard to trust people again, to form close bonds, or to even feel good and secure in oneself. It inflames insecurity, a subdued confidence, and even could cause one to be j…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We’re all familiar with ‘therapy speak,’ and it’s incorrect, or uneducated labels to people who may not be officially diagnosed. Someone may have narcissistic qualities, but it doesn’t mean they’re a narcissist. Someone may be overly avoidant about confrontation, but it doesn’t always mean they’re gaslighting you. So how do we know when we’re really being treated unfairly? It’s all in instinct and gut. In this Reddit thread, it centers around a…

It's Wingardium Lev-IO-sa, not Levios-A!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When we’re young and in love, it could either be the most fulfilling and beautiful relationship, or it could be a devastating heartbreak. Our youth gives us perspective and lessons that we can use the rest of our lives, but it doesn’t feel so comforting when we’re going through the motions. It’s one of the most hurtful feelings when you aren’t the priority to your partner . It doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have other friends or family members who…

Her friends say she's overreacting, she thinks she's underreacting.

Side with her for once, man!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Have you ever been in a relationship where you are suddenly hit with the epiphany that your partner is an insane person? There are a lot of psychopaths out there, and sometimes they hide their true colors all too easily. Some people develop specific methods to hide their combativeness, their malice, or their inability to respect others, and it may take time to actually notice something’s wrong.

“Why It’s Time to Move On: A Farewell Guide”

Some people are more in tune with time than others. I personally have many friends that no matter how many times you remind them to get ready, or how much time you give them in advance, they will always be late. I choose to see it as endearing, knowing that they’re not doing it out of malice or immaturity. To be honest, it’s sometimes even cultural. Though countries like Japan and Germany run to the T, other countries aren’t as prompt in their adherence to time’s ticking clock. So what happens…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. For some people, food is their love language. Cooking with your partner is intimate and meaningful, you can open a bottle, rehash your days, and even start conversations about your innermost desires. Feeling like you’re taking care of your partner and nurturing them is a special way of expressing your love. What happens when your partner becomes critical of your culinary skills? It can be a hard pill to swallow if your love language is cooking…

Any healthy relationship should be predicated on trust , loyalty, and honesty. There’s no excuse for lying to your partner’s face, or hiding things behind their back. Although it may seem pedantic to have such stringent rules about betrayal, when you see the red flags that your partner could be hiding something from you or potentially cheating, there’s only one answer – run! In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who has noticed some strange behavior from his wife while she’s…

Having shared values with your significant other is one of the most important dynamics in a relationship. I always felt like it’s even concomitant to find someone who has overlapping values to you, because if they didn’t it would have been difficult to get further in the relationship. How a person feels about money, marriage, or children matters a lot. If you’re someone who isn’t so into contrived aesthetics, normal hygiene, or materialism, then you're probably going to attract another similar…
