Yikes!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. You could be married for a decade, and still find out things in your partner you never knew could exist. Some people are good at masking their darkness, hiding in their own shadows, and keeping secrets from those around them. Once you’ve been married for awhile, your guard is down, and your trust is high, making it almost easier to lie candidly. Just because it’s easy to lie, doesn’t excuse the behavior. Hiding things from your partner is a new…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Marriages can be long and arduous, a journey of tenacity, patience, and respect. When one person feels disrespected, it’s easy to be offended, but maybe not to the point where you back out of the marriage. Everyone is different, and everyone’s threshold for treatment they’re willing to take is different. A betrayal can look like many things ; it doesn’t always look like cheating, but it is always a form of lying or deceit. It’s more than painfu…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Most things in life don’t last forever; though we like to fantasize about eternity, even things like marriage aren't eternal for a lot of couples. It’s a hard pill to swallow, but eventually it’s for the better. But the thing is, you assume it is eternal when you marry the person, so you’re probably willing to do whatever you need to do for the sake of the relationship to work. This can get tricky with a decision like a vasectomy, where usually it’s reversible…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In relationships, there are manifold ways of abusing someone. It doesn’t always look like hitting, though that’s horrible enough. Psychological abuse is still abuse, and tormenting someone’s mind for your own personal gain or entertainment is a pretty disgusting practice. It stems from a place of either immaturity and lack of emotional intelligence enough to deal with problems, instead of getting defensive, or it’s just plain malicious . A lot…

The goal is marriage. You eventually walk down the aisle toward the person you will spend the rest of your life—and maybe start a family with—after a period of courting during which you get to know your partner through both his and her best and worst moments. The story below is an account of a frustrated wife. The original poster (OP) recently married the person she believed to be her true love. They are now officially married after three years of dating and a year of engagement. However, the m…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Cheating is never a fun topic ; it’s heartbreaking to find out, messy to deal with, and it’s a strong trauma that can destroy a lot of people. For married couples, this could be even worse. You’ve built a whole life, you’ve been together for years, maybe decades, you have children. And then suddenly a shock bomb is dropped on you and you feel like your life is flashing before you, drowning in past memories and betrayal nearly clogging your thro…

Well, you were warned.

She deserves better

Update!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet . No one likes infidelity, y et it’s more common than the rate of people getting married. Everyone can agree about its disrespect, disgusting behavior and consequences, but many of those people do it anyway. It’s a complicated topic not bereft of nuance, but it doesn’t make it easier to swallow when it happens to you. This brings us to the Reddit piece. Some people want their cake and to eat it too. This man in particular is the biggest hypocrit…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Birthdays mean a lot to some people . It’s not necessarily about the day itself, or doing something greatly extravagant, but rather that your partner has acknowledged it, and wants to make it a happy and special day for you. Some women like a homemade dinner, some like a romantic getaway, and some prefer jewelry. All this woman wants is a night in, to order food, and for her husband to remember that it’s her birthday . He fails to do all of the…

Money is an extremely complex topic. It can enable you to live a luxurious lifestyle on the one hand, but it can also lead to conflict and resentment on the other. The story below is an account of a confused wife. The original poster (OP) suffered years of financial exploitation at the hands of her former husband. After years of suffering, she at last realized she needed to assume ownership of her own life. So, to guarantee she never again finds herself in that vulnerable situation from all tho…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Marriage isn’t a walk in the park. You have to always teeter totter between compromise, patience, and calmness. Open communication is crucial, and for me, emotional stability is number one. Couples will always have disagreements, conflicts, and things to work through, but it’s how you handle these things that matters the most. Getting angry or heated about a conflict is the opposite of what I would want in a relationship. It’s important to keep yourself ground…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. To be honest, I barely knew what ‘legal separation’ meant until reading this Reddit thread. I guess the idea behind it has good intentions, but it lacks some clarity and keeps two people in a strange limbo, opening up new disasters to happen. But hey, I’m not the one to judge here. What I do judge is that the man sees one text on his wife’s phone and acts like she had some great, outrageous affair when she didn’t. We all make mistakes, and hinting to a coworke…
