Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In any relationship, it’s important to note each person’s expectations from the get go. If someone needs more or less attention, love, or gestures, it needs to be known. If someone expects their partner to cook, clean, shop, work, take care of the kids, and make them a sandwich everyday, then so be it. In this particular Reddit thread, the couple is just as I described above. They have two kids, one of which is a baby who needs a lot of care, a…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. You never really know someone until you go on a trip with them. Seeing someone outside of your bubble of comfort, home, and normality can break notions you once had of them, sending you into thoughts about them you never had before. Luckily for me, I have rarely traveled with friends, and when I have, it’s been more than enjoyable. But it isn’t always the case. In this Reddit thread, these women had to learn the hard way that they weren’t as compatible as they…

‘Secrets are never forever’ is a strong statement I never thought I would read in a Reddit story written by a woman who cheated on her husband, but here we are. When one tries to keep a secret, they might think there will come a day when enough time has passed from that one horrible thing they did, but the truth is, there is always a chance it will come out, in ways they would least expect it. The woman in this story cheated on her husband almost three decades ago, and she genuinely thought she…

Her friend lied about having a smaller bridal party, just so she couldn't join in on the festivities.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Weddings should be a joyous day of celebrations , happiness, and love. It would be intermingled with your favorite people, your family and friends. Tensions could rise if you feel like you have family members you’re less than excited to see. Even if you’re not a huge fan of your sibling’s wife or husband, it’s common courtesy to invite them to something as big as a wedding, or else it is likely to cause more drama than there needs to be. This R…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. If there’s one thing that’s true, it’s that people can change . Anyone who says differently obviously has a story behind it. But I can even say for myself, I’ve seen myself change in so many ways that I wouldn’t even be able to recognize the person I used to be. Knowing this can be helpful while in marriages, or dealing with interpersonal relationships. How someone is now , or the state of things now , does not necessarily mean anything for the future. People…

Ladies, I want your full honesty on this one. As much as it is incredibly important to have a job, your own financial stability, and self-fulfillment, would it be great to just stay at home and let your partner do all the work? I genuinely do not think I would hate a life where I stay at home, and my husband works to ensure we have enough money to keep living. However, I would never do that to my partner, because I firmly believe in equality, and that we should both put in the same amount of ef…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In a relationship, we need to feel that our partner s are there for us, that they support us, that we can turn to them in moments of desperation and need. If we feel as though we can’t, then it’s an immediate red flag. How is anyone supposed to feel comfortable in a partnership if they can’t even come to their partner in times of need? It’s ingrained in the term ‘partnership’ that it’s two people working together, as partners. In this Reddit th…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. As wome n, we’ve all been conditioned to be weary of the signs of a bad man. When your gut feeling is off, you know something is wrong.

Including her mom...

Babies are, in fact, a top priority to new mothers

Good thing he showed his red flags before she said "I do!"

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. There’s nothing more painful than finding out about your partner's infidelity. No matter how you look at it, it hurts, and it’s a stab to your relationship, your trust, and your ego. However, there are certainly levels. And in general, I believe people are defined by how they react to things, how they cope with what they’ve done, rather than what they actually did. We all make mistakes, we’re all human, but it says more about a person when they…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It doesn’t take much for family tensions to rise. In the heat of the moment, people may say things they don’t mean, or even act cruelly towards one another. There’s never an excuse for abandonment; children need their parents, and leaving them is one of the most traumatic and selfish things a person can do in this life. That brings us to the Reddit thread. The original poster (OP) is a woman whose mother abandoned her as a girl. Being raised by…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the universe. Relationships have to be built on trust. It’s an integral part of a healthy dynamic between two people, and when it falls apart, the relationship will also perish. But there are definitely levels of trust …and there are boundaries that seem too ridiculous to be true. In this Reddit story, the original poster (OP) is a woman who’s just won the lottery.
