Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We live in a pretty strange era; global diseases, technology, globalization, virtue signaling, going no contact with family, and a slew of other first world problems. Going ‘no contact’ with family members is becoming as normal as keeping contact with them. These days, it seems to be the most common resort when a dispute arises. The world seems to become more divided, more black and white, and you’re either good or bad. That brings us to the Re…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Marriage is a long and arduous road; hand in hand with someone for decades can be daunting, yet beautiful if you both put in the work. There can be so many problems that arise, and navigating them together with respect and tact is the only thing that will keep your relationship healthy, and make it last. Now, for those too immature to handle problems with respect or tact, they deserve what’s coming to them. The shock at finding out your life is in such a level…

Welcome back internet ladies and gentlemen. Never before in the history of man did people have so many inexplicable and unexplainable issues surrounding food. There isn’t just lactose intolerant anymore. From peanut allergies, to vegetarianism, veganism, and gluten free, when hosting a dinner party these days it can be impossible to account for everybody’s restrictions. I once even heard a woman say she can’t have garlic. People are coming up with everything in the book and claiming they can’t…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Setting clear boundaries with people is a crucial part of relationships of any kind. When you don’t have boundaries set, people can walk all over you, make you uncomfortable, and disrespect you. This brings us to the Reddit story. A woman is pregnant, and her sister-in-law is making some pretty bizarre, borderline creepy comments. She’s sending her constant messages about how she’ll steal the baby, saying she wants to be in the delivery room, a…

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…

The purpose of weddings is to commemorate the joining of two people in the holy bond of matrimony. Having said that, people usually invite their closest and dearest to the celebration in order to recognize the momentous occasion. But what if your friend didn't ask you to her wedding because she believed you 'wouldn't come'? The story below is an account of a frustrated bride. The original poster, or OP, is set to tie the knot. Before the wedding, OP hosted a bridal shower for all of her close f…

“He came back inside and asked if I was done having a tantrum.”

If you were jealous, you could've just said that!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In life, you have to make some tough decisions. Maybe you have to choose between what to study, or between careers, or between places to live. You may even have to choose between romantic partners. But these days, it’s more and more common to have to choose family members. ‘No contact’ with family members is becoming a casual part of our culture, and regardless of your views on this strictness, it’s the truth. Everything is dependent on the sit…

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…

Your wife and newborn baby should take priority over an inappropriate relationship with your co-worker.

If there is one thing that I am grateful for about getting married young, is that neither of us had money when we got married. I am fully aware that this sounds ridiculous to be grateful for, but the fact that we had almost the same starting point financially saved us from the pain of fighting about it. Both of us being young and at the start of our careers allowed us to build our financial state together and as equals, so there were no accusations of one of us being a gold-digger, mostly becau…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. In 2024, we’re more progressive than we ever were before. You can’t throw around slurs like you used to (thank goodness), and if you do, other people may get involved. There’ s also a lot of debate around tipping servers. You’re either on one side, or the other. Either you’re for tipping, and you like to tip to show your appreciation, or you refuse to tip on principle. It can cause strife even between friends and family members. The tippers are holier than tho…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When you marry someone , you sign up not just to live and deal with the person, but to deal with their family as well. Depending on how close your partner is to their family, they can be so deeply involved, which isn’t always how someone wants their relationship to be. Some people love family, and they like these wholesome get-togethers. Some people, on the other hand, want more privacy and space from family, and just like to know they live their own lives. An…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The talk about having kids is an underrated conversation when you first start dating someone. Dating in your 20s, it may not be on your mind, or your partners. You just start things off with someone, and before you know it, you’re completely intertwined, but you have no idea their stance on having children. As women, it’s a touchy subject. Of course both parties are involved, but women have to carry the heaviest burden of actually having the ch…
