Welcome back internet enthusiasts. It’s never a comfortable feeling when your partner has that one ‘friend’ that feels a bit bigger than friendship. It can be disheartening and overwhelming to wonder about your partner’s loyalty to you. It’s not healthy for any relationship, and often ends in a breakup. No one can live in the shadow of doubt, fear, and insecurity. It plays games with your psyche, and you either become a shell of yourself, or you leave them. This brings us to the Reddit thread.…

Having a family cabin is an incredible gift; you have a free and beautiful place to get away from it all. Desolate in the woods, nature all around you, no neighbors, just quiet stillness. It’s the perfect place to unwind, get alone time, have a romantic vacation, or spend quality time with family. That is until your husband decides to invite his mother. This brings us to the Reddit thread. This…

As much as parents love to say they don't have a favorite child, everyone knows that is completely untrue. The parents know it, the kids know it, and even the cat knows it. They can try the hide it, and if they do it well, the favoritism can go undetected for a long time, but at some point, the small actions towards a specific kid pile up and the truth comes out. For example, I have two sisters, and all three of us know that my parents love my younger sister the most. They spoiled her more grow…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Relationships aren’t easy. Whether it’s between parents, siblings, friends, or partners, there’s a lot of work that needs to go into it to be successful. If one person isn’t putting in effort, the relationship is doomed.

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When you marry, you don’t just marry the person, but in a way you marry their family. You’re accepted as one of them, and there’s usually an obligation to have a relationship with different members. You’re expected to be at family functions, holidays, and the like.

“I feel hurt and devastated and even a little betrayed.”

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The topic of paternity tests is gaining more and more popularity all the time. 50 years ago, I don’t think it even occurred to men to get a paternity test. It means a lot for the state of our culture; cheating at one time in history was almost a given, and you stay in your marriage for the sake of survival. Now, cheating is an all encompassing act that leaves someone feeling so betrayed and unfulfilled. We transpose our identity onto our partne…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s too common of a story when a woman is deeply unimpressed with her husband’s behavior. There’s the phrase deadbeat dad for a reason . You don’t hear the same descriptions of women and moms, not that they can’t be uninvolved, but it’s not the stereotype. Men have the standard that it’s impressive when they at least show up emotionally or mentally. Even though this is the case, it’s not every father, and nowadays men are opening up and talkin…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. It’s almost too common to disagree with your in-laws about something, and more often than not it’s between a wife and a mother-in-law.

Anyway, there can be a slew of reasons why these two women can’t get along . Maybe there are expectations for caretaking, grandparenting, or fi…
