He really should have stayed out of it...

The 'closure' talk with your ex should happen before you get in a new relationship, not right before your wedding!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Finding out about your partner’s affair is one of the most painful experiences in the world. There’s nothing that parallels the overwhelming, suffocating combination of betrayal, disrespect, disgust, heartbreak, and anger that can nearly destroy someone. As heartbreaking and crushing as it can be, it’s somehow a wildly common crime to commit. As much as a stab in the back as this is, it’s even worse when the affair partner is someone you know.…

As sympathetic as one can be to people who have no one to talk about their issues with, some lines cannot be crossed. It is okay to occasionally say 'no' to people who seek advice and comfort in the wrong place. What does it mean to seek comfort in the wrong place, you ask? Here is the perfect example – The woman who wrote this Reddit story (OP, original poster) divorced her husband 17 years ago after he cheated on her. He then went on and married the woman he cheated with, and they all remaine…

For people who have been through the pain that accompanies infidelity, you can understand why someone uninvolved would want to take action. There’s always this feeling that the other person should know, and in general that’s true. No one wants to be continually lied to, betrayed, disrespected, and embarrassed by the fact that someone else is intimate with their partner. This Reddit thread is about just that.

"... A lot of our arguments are about me feeling like the trophy wife holding it down at home while he’s living his best life with his bachelor friends..."

First rule of rock climbing: Never let go of one handhold until you have a firm grip on another. Most people use this as a reminder to not let go of one good thing without having another lined up, usually in the context of work – don't leave your current place of work without having something else a hand, but this story proves that some people use this rule for something else entirely. For example, people who tend to cheat. I would imagine cheaters use this analogy for their dating life–they ne…

Never involve your children in your relationship problems, they don't and shouldn't need to know everything that is going on between their parents. Even if one of the parents did something wrong, even if your relationship might not recover from it, keep your kids out of it. They deserve to have a good relationship with both of their parents, regardless of anything else. That is mainly what the people of Reddit have told the husband in this story. After he found out about his wife's cheating, he…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. You can know someone for years, spend all your time with them, even live with them, until one reproaching day unveils a curtain you weren’t prepared to diges t. When the rose colored glasses fall off and long ignored verisimilitude appears, it can be jarring and traumatic. Honesty and trust predicate any healthy relationship, and their foundation is what keeps couples together. This brings us to the Reddit thread. The original poster (OP) is a…

The story below is an account of a frustrated daughter. The original poster (OP) just gave birth to her first child.

However, upo…

As was previously said, your family should always come first. But would you be prepared to pay the price for the ten-year blunders made by your father? The account that follows is an extension of a story that was recently shared about a woman who unintentionally named her firstborn child after her father's long-term lover. The original poster (OP), despite the devastating news and intense familial pressure, refused to have her baby's name changed as it was special to her and her spouse. The dec…
