Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s important to practice tact when the going gets tough . Sometimes we’re pushed over the edge of our patience, and fall into a frustration so intense it can be difficult not to go full berserk on someone. As much as we want to just say everything that’s on our minds and heart, sometimes it’s better to wait until the tension has ceased to say what you want to say. In this Reddit thread, the woman has been openly badmouthing her marriage, husb…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. I wonder why people even have marriage vows if they’re not actually going to adhere to them? We all lose ourselves sometimes, say things we don’t mean, or become resentful. But in any healthy marriage, they are peaks on a relatively steady trajectory. Healthy marriages mean people have compassion, love, and respect for one another. Through thick or thin, better or worse, it’s about being there for your partner. If someone is unable, or unwillin…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. It’s a cruel world we live in to think that a mother would ever go no contact with her son , but I guess there are always exceptions. Going no contact with someone is just wildly black and white; it leaves no room for atonement, understanding, or resolution. In my opinion, it’s immature. Everyone makes mistakes, and holding it over the person like you’re their judge, jury, and executer is just ridiculous, especially when it comes to family. This brings us to t…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Your wedding is supposed to be a special, sacred day. Not to be overly dramatic, but it really should make you feel warm, loved, fulfilled, and euphoric about your future with your now partner. This isn’t always the case though. Bringing friends and families together from vastly different backgrounds and histories could cause an uproar. Furtive relationships can unfurl, dynamics you didn’t know were there, and tensions could rise when you alrea…
