“The entire situation just made me feel [terrible], and I got pretty upset. He started laughing because he said it wasn't a big deal and I should just give him his space.”

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. The digital age is many things; it’s exciting, new, educational, innovative, as well as toxic, addictive, and exploitative. There’s a smaller and smaller line between our private lives and social media. Everything can be filmed nowadays, and being emotionally vulnerable is nothing new on social media. The matter of children is a tough subject; of course as parents it’s natural to want to share your child with the world, in many ways. You think they’re so adora…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. There’s a slew of exciting aspects about becoming a new parent . Even talking to your partner about the prospect of having a child is stimulating and imaginative, fantasizing about all the moments together, how you’ll raise your child, what they’ll be like, what they’ll look like, and what you’ll name them. Naming your child is one of the most important measures to take responsibly. Without consideration of their future, it’s fruitless to just name them whatev…

Not on her birthday

Some people are out there and are living a real-life fairytale story, and I am not sure if that is a good thing or a bad thing. On one hand, you have a life story that people write books and make movies about, and those stories usually end with a happy ending. On the other hand, a lot of those stories start with the hero being in pretty bad shape, and they have to overcome many challenges before actually getting their happily ever after. This story reminded me of a classic Cinderella story, exc…

Not every girl dreams about a grand marriage proposal. Some girls would prefer their partners do something small and intimate, and some would rather not have a marriage proposal at all, and simply decide together to get married without the fuss and the stress of the proposal. However, every girl would agree that we all deserve to get the marriage proposal we want, no matter how it looks. It is the start of a couple's happily ever after, and no one should settle on it. The girl in this Reddit st…

“I did my best to follow her rules, but she would still find reasons to complain and criticize me.”

I think it is incredibly important for every employee to maintain a good relationship with their coworkers. I even believe that you should feel like the people you work with are your friends and be comfortable enough around them to talk about things other than work and business. So if my husband became friends with a female coworker, I honestly would not think much of it. I am not the jealous type, and I trust my husband and his judgment. That being said, there are points where I definitely do…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. A wedding is a special occasion for the bride and groom, and usually the bride has a bit more preferences about the way things should go. Because it’s customary for the bride to wear white on her big day, it’s typical that guests refrain from wearing that color. It’s bad luck, and it’s just plain rude. It’s saying, ‘I don’t care that it’s your day, I’m going to make it about me.’ This can be especially obvious and hurtful when it’s not just any guest, but it’s…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Marriage isn’t what it used to be. It used to be more common, with a lot of emphasis put on its sanctity. Divorce was less common, and even looked down upon. Through high divorce rates, or watching your parents contempt for each other, people are looking at marriage through a different lens than before. People are waiting, they’re getting married later, and sometimes they’re not getting married at all. In this Reddit piece, the woman here tells…

Whose side are you on?

That's one way to end a friendship

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all know what it’s like to feel jealousy. That pang of nausea, like there’s a pit in your stomach that you can’t mitigate. Like your head is swirling with thoughts and fears of betrayal, feeling like all your worst nightmares are enclosing around you. It makes us feel worthless, undesirable, and insecure. I think it’s safe to say that no one likes that feeling. It’s even worse when it’s from people you thought you could trust, such as your f…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When mixing money and family, make sure to add tact, respect, and modesty. Money is the ultimate divider; even among family members, relationships are torn apart when cash and assets become involved. Hostility, resentment, and even going no contact with family members isn’t impossible when you suddenly have to decipher a will together, and realize that your cousin Becky got more money than you did. This brings us to the Reddit piece. The original poster (OP) i…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Friendship is just as important as a marriage , or relationships with family members. Friends can become family, and it’s a tight bond that deserves the same respect and open communication as any other important relationship. When we’re sick of our husbands, or tired of our families, we always have friends to rely on to take us back to Earth and make us laugh over a glass of wine. B ut in our era of no contact , no one is safe from the severity…

It is no joke when people say that when you marry a person, you are also marrying their family. Like it or not, marriage means that you are going to have a long and committed relationship with your partner's parents, siblings, uncles, aunts, and sometimes their children. So if you don't have a good relationship with your partner's family, I would seriously suggest proceeding with caution. It can cause a lot of stress having to navigate a relationship with people who don't support you. The perso…
