Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Everyone loves a good wedding; food, drinks, dancing, and the celebration of love. When your friend or family member is getting married, it’s exciting to see them in their element, with their love, and sealing the knot that will tie them together forever. But if there’s animosity towards the groom, you can’t expect to enjoy yourself. When someone betrays you, it stays with you forever. It will always be something you remember when you see them,…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. For some people, birthdays are a big deal. Some people want the works – party, gifts, cards, cake, and all the attention on them. Some people even plan multiple events for their birthday, and you’re left wondering if they thought they had a birth ‘month’ instead of a birthday. Others don’t want a party at all and refuse to plan anything. I even know the type who refuses to tell others when their birthday is! In this Reddit thread, the original…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Divorce, as common as it is, is incredibly painful for all parties involved. They say that there’s no bigger source of unhappiness than a divorce. It isn’t just the splitting of romantic love, it’s the asunder of two lives that are so intermingled, so encapsulated in each other, that to tear these tethered souls it takes years of logistic, legal, and emotional work to get over it. From separating finances, bank accounts, and material items, to…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. As they say, revenge is a dish best served cold. Or is revenge a dish best served covered in truffle oil, buffalo mozzarella, and prosciutto? According to this Reddit thread, it’s the latter. In this Reddit piece, the original poster (OP) is a woman who’s sick of being left out of the office. Everyday, their office orders lunch together and eats together. Not only do they continually forget her order, but her lunch time has been pushed to a tim…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all know the illustrious, entitled, stereotype of the vegan who’s always on their pedestal of judgment for what everyone else’s diet looks like. We all have that vegan in our lives whose sole purpose seems to be shaming others for eating animals, and giving themselves a pat on the back for abstaining from this monstrous practice. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or a carnivore, mankind has been eating animal products since the beginning of…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When we get married and settle down, no one can anticipate what our future will hold. We date, fall in love, get married, and before we know it we live on a farm in the middle of nowhere with our wife and kids, when 10 years ago we thought we’d be a suave bachelor with a New York City apartment. Or hey, maybe it’s the other way around for some people. The point being, is that life takes us on all sorts of turns, and when we agree to be with som…

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…

Dad jokes: can't live with em, can't live without em

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!

Get Well Soon!

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…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all dream of that special, one-of-a-kind soulmate that will complete us. The one to be our other half; the one who will lift us up when times are tough, provide the shoulder to cry on, and the one to laugh with. I think it’s fair to say that even when we’re sure of our person we want to marry, things change and adapt along the way. Marriage is a long and arduous road, and no one has all the answers on how to survive the tough times. In this…

Some things are just not worth the effort.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When merging two families together, it’s important to maintain tact, meaning that no child feels they’re unappreciated or unequal to the others. It means that each parent does their part as adults to make everyone feel included, and to form bonds with their new step-children. Not everyone has this sensitivity or perspective though. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a frustrated father. He’s been married to his wife for years, a…

Thanksgiving is hands down a ubiquitous holiday favorite. I think we can admit how much we love the warmth of the fireplace, decorative leaves everywhere, and the myriad of smells emitting from the kitchen. Your mother has been cooking up a storm since 5 am, turkey basting in the oven, potatoes boiling on the stove, pecan and pumpkin pies set aside for dessert. It’s a magical holiday of sensory wonders, and you get to see the whole family too. Not having the privilege to be with your family for…
