A big part of marriage, and relationships in general, is being able to make compromises for the other person. The mutual love and respect you have for your partner is the glue that holds you together and helps you get through those tricky give-and-take moments in your relationship. But sometimes things aren't so straight forward, and it's not clear who should give and who should take. One woman posted on the popular AITA thread on Reddit, wondering if she was the a**hole for asking her husband to give up his dream job because it would risk her career. At first glance, you might think so, because whose job comes first; hers or his? But as she explains the situation, it becomes apparent that he was prepared to sabotage her very high-paying niche career for a job that paid less than half her salary, and that he applied for behind her back. Everyone jumped to her defense, explaining very clearly how she is not the a**hole and that she should proceed with divorce proceedings, as advised by her company. Read through her post and the comments below and decide for yourself who is in the wrong. Although it's pretty clear what the answer is.

When Dan Pearce — who has been divorced twice — was asked to give his best marriage advice to his little sister on the eve of her wedding he realized he doesn't have any. He also realized though that he has "plenty of 'keep your marriage from ending' advice" and that it "might be almost as good".
And so, that night, he sat down and wrote out his "advice list for my little sister - You know… things I wish I would have known or done differently so that I didn't end up divorced (twice)".
And it's GREAT.
