You shouldn't have to “earn” the respect of someone who claims they love you.

Wait...what did he do?

“I'm not saying he's a bad guy, it's just that I'm not comfortable with my boyfriend having such a close female best friend, especially when I thought I was his best friend.”

Even though it is not a solution many families aspire to reach, divorce can often do wonders for a family. Sure, no couple wants to admit defeat and give up, but sometimes, having the heart to separate is the best thing to do both for the parents and their kids. Understanding this might be a lot harder for the kids than the parents, so parents have to approach the subject very carefully to make sure everyone is actually on board with the idea of splitting up the family. Something that definitel…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. They say you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family. You can even choose your partners, but you can’t choose your family member’s partners either. It’s more than disappointing to have a sibling who married someone you don’t see eye to eye with. Family dinners, events, and reunions somehow always have to have that one uncle, that one in-law who just causes copious amounts of drama to everyone. The one always trying to start a…

Welcome back wedding lovers. Weddings are one of my favorite things. It’s like one big party, all your friends are there, families come together, you dance, you laugh, hug people, and most importantly have access to free drinks.

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Relationships take many turns. We all have our set ways of communication, expressing ourselves, feeling loved, and emotional attachment. Trying to orchestrate these things with someone else is never easy, especially when life’s spontaneous struggles surprise us out of nowhere. You may feel happy and stable with someone, like everything is perfect and you’ve finally found the one. But people will show their true colors eventually, and when they do it can be an…

Many people believe having a causal and physical relationship with a friend is great, but I honestly cannot get behind the idea. Maybe it is because I am a hopeless romantic, but I truly believe it either ends with a real relationship, or a disaster. If it ends with a relationship, then I guess no harm was done, and it might be a cute story you could tell your kids in the far ( far ) future. If it ends in a disaster, then, well, you have a disaster to deal with, and everyone involved is probabl…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. We live in a world with so much importance put on material possessions, that sometimes we forget and forgo the human in us. We would rather ruin relationships we have than let go of that adored shirt that cost us so much. It’s a bit unhealthy, if you ask me, but it’s the way of the world, and that’s a fact. Material items and money work hand in hand to disallow us to separate from these meaningless things, to focus on interpersonal relationships. Inheritance i…

Welcome back people of the internet cosmos. We love a story of a rocky relationship; there’s just something so satisfying about being able to read what two people are going through, analyze it, and choose a side.

This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this piece, the couple has been together for a couple years. Based on th…

There are two types of people on this planet. The first becomes enraged and leaves when they are treated unfairly, whereas the second becomes resentful and wants to exact revenge on the offender. The story below is an account of a frustrated girlfriend. The original poster (OP) had been dating her boyfriend for more than a year.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. There are a few qualities of relationships that are essential for success .

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. As they say , communication is key . Although we have all heard this lifelong saying, few take it to heart.

It’s about a woman getting married, who’s appointed her best friend to be the maid of honor. Her friend i…
