Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Rings are sentimental for so many people. Not only is it a symbol of marriage, but it’s a symbol of love between a couple, a symbol of their commitment. When someone wears a ring in that special place, people know they’re taken. It’s a gesture of respect to their significant other, to show off their relationship status, and brag that their partner bought them the ring. If someone were to take sentimental items from you, it’s thievery. It’s neve…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When you’re a child, a lot of things can go over your head without realizing it. You sort of believe everything you’re told, you assume that everything that happens to you is happening to everyone else, and that it’s normal. As we get older, we have a more mature lens in which to observe things. We can better understand what happens to us, and make better decisions about it. If our parents are divorced, it can feel like a whirlwind of emotions…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. School bullies are a serious matter. A child’s life can be paradise or an inferno if they’re being bullied. It’s humiliating and destroys one’s confidence. Bullying can get so bad that the child may have to transfer schools, which is even more of a stab in the back. It’s impossible to enjoy school life, friends, or anything when there’s a bully following your every move, waiting to attack you. In this Reddit thread, it follows a father, daughte…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Traveling with friends may seem like a dream come true on the outside, but sometimes it can be closer to a nightmare.

It goes the same for friends. Things may seem great on the surface, but when you’re spending 24/7 together, sleeping in the same room, and t…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In family affairs, it’s not always easy to keep your mouth shut. You go in and out of these feelings and thoughts, and sometimes it just builds until it explodes.

Just remember, it’s better to air grievances privately, rather than publicly. In this Reddit thread, it centers around a family at dinner. The original poste…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Who doesn’t love Starbucks? Even if you consider yourself a coffee fanatic, coffee buff, or coffee connoisseur, the guilty pleasure of a sugary, caramel-filled, iced frappuccino with whipped cream on top is something none of us can deny. Even though it’s more of an extravagant dessert than it is a coffee drink, we still love to indulge in its decadence. But at the same time, no one likes to mix work and pleasure, especially on a holiday. In thi…

The dress is one of the most important and iconic aspects of a woman’s wedding. Flowing, flowery, embellished with lace and length, all to show off the loveliness of the bride on her wedding day.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The ugly face of favoritism shows itself more often than we’d like to admit. Whether we’re friendlier with some coworkers than others, or we prefer to spend time with one sibling over another, or if we’re on the other side of the favoritism coin. What about when we’re the person left out of the friend group, or our uncle chooses to put his othe r nieces and nephews in the will but not us? All of these things play a part in our interpersonal rel…

We're familiar with the never-ending Ross and Rachel "We were on a break" debacle, right? If not, where have you been? You might want to take a break and catch up on your ‘Friends’ pop culture because you've clearly been living under a rock! If you are familiar, then although this situation isn’t quite the same, it is definitely a classic case of he said, she said—lost in translation. This man dated a woman, and after 12 dates the concept of exclusivity certainly comes to mind, right? No? Well,…

Dogs are great, but they are also a lot to deal with, so bringing that energy to someone else's house is definitely something you should run by them first. Especially on holidays like Thanksgiving. If someone decides to host a Thanksgiving dinner, they have to get their house ready for all…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Though we’re passed the hump of our precious turkey holiday, the post- Thanksgiving family stories never fail to keep us engaged after the fact.

If there’s one thing the holidays are good for, it’s our ability to indulge in food and family dram…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Parenting is never easy, not when you’re married and planned for it, and not when you’re unmarried and conceived by accident.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Jealousy is one of the worst feelings in the world. It’s as if someone is pouring icy, freezing cold water slowly into your mouth and all you can do is stay paralyzed in the purgatory of pain as your stomach slowly starts to ache and you feel yourself becoming numb. One of the worst parts about jealousy is that no one else is burdened from the suffering except you. Your partner doesn’t care, and whoever is making you feel jealous doesn’t either…
