"My fiancé then starts laughing and goes ‘that's why I've been dragging my feet on marriage’ and the guys just laughed and said ‘don't do it man, it's a trap’ etc etc."

What are you brewing up?

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. These days it’s more common to uninvite someone to your wedding than it is to just invite them. The scandal that someone is omitted from the gathering will cause gossip for years to come, and let’s face it, what’s a wedding without a little drama? Everyone has their own reasons for doing so, and some are more valid than others. But when one goes around mocking your soon-to-be brother-in-law publicly, I’m not sure what they expect to happen. If…

No shame for doom scrolling

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. The OP is a woman whose neighbor is clearly having an affair. From watching for months,…

When it comes to free babysitting, no one should actually feel they're obligated contribute when it's not their kid. We're all aware of the notion that some people don't like kids at all, only their own, and some people don't even like their relatives kids! There's only a certain amount of empathy one can hold for others , and if personal boundaries are stepped over, then it's up to the person to redraw the line. In this reddit thread, it's about just that. The original poster (OP) is a woman w…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Halloween is around the corner and spooky season affects us all differently. Some people don’t care, some people have a whole month of Halloween macabre themed activities, and some people like to dress up in costumes and try to scare others. Some people like to connect to their dark side, to push boundaries and see how someone will react in atypical situations. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman whose sister-in-law is a…

Ignorance is bliss, a common and quotable phrase that everyone can resonate with. There’s two types of people: one that needs to know everything they don’t want to hear, and the one who wants to be blind in blissful ignorance. Once you know something, you can’t unknow it. Once you know something, it could haunt you for years to come, and at the end of the day if you can’t do anything about it, it could very well be useless to have found out. The truth is a tricky, daunting, and fickle subject.…

Some friendships have expiration dates.

Forever roommate.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. I think we can all agree that it would be ridiculous to wear white to someone’s wedding, right? For some reason there are countless people who don’t understand this, and don’t adhere to it. I guess they think the wedding is more for them and less for the people getting married. Some people just think the world revolves around them. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who got married, in conjunction with a bit of family dr…

The good ol’ mother-daughter dynamic …I can’t count how many female friends I have with ‘mommy issues.’ It’s almost like an epidemic. From what I’ve seen, daughters are either extremely close with their mothers, to the point that they’re practically best friends, or they butt heads time and time again. In this Reddit thread, not only does this woman hav e a somewhat strained relationship with her mother, but she’s always been the ‘wild child.’ The original poster (OP) is the father, who writes…

When my boyfriend and I started dating, I refused to let him see me without makeup on. I was convinced that he would take one look at my face and run the other way, and I could not be more wrong. He never once cared whether or not I had mascara on, and complimented me non-stop, even first thing in the morning, which we all know is not a good look for anyone. No one should settle on a man who thinks makeup is essential to the relationship. The only reason one should put on makeup is if it makes…

Hoa hoa hoa or lalala fall girl?

There comes a time in most people’s lives when they realize that their parents will age, and someone will have to take care of them. Some siblings have the whole plan worked out from childhood; the one who will be the caretaker, the one who might have to take them in, and the one who doesn’t want the burden. It’s a sad realization, but something that most people have to deal with. It’s not easy to watch your parents age, but it’s also a natural part of life. In this Reddit thread, the original…

The throes of dating aren't new to the 21st century
