Should she tell her brother who his fiancée really is?

Welcome back internet queens and kings. Money is essential to the cycles and happiness of living, but it’s an evil denominator that often gets in the way of human relationships. It shouldn’t matter as much as it does, but people become blind to its power. This isn’t just for people who are not financially well off and desperat e; even people who already have a lot of money can lose sight of their surroundings and attempt to manipulate situations for the sake of greed. But that’s not what’s happ…

Welcome back internet queens and kings. The season for vacationing is upon us. There’s nothing better than planning a long-awaited trip, getting together with your loved ones for some quiet and quality time. All of these things seem like good ideas, but in reality it isn’t always sunshine and roses. Family means tension, fights, and negative atmospheres for some people. Dynamics could get difficult. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) writes that he’s on vacation with his family, an…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The word ‘family’ can mean different things to different people. Although it should mean respect and inclusion, people may turn their back on other members for a variety of reasons . It’s not always a given that blood relations means someone will be there for you, or that they want the best for you. In my opinion, you can have the same bond and closeness with friends as you do family. This brings us to the Reddit thread. This story is an update…

After all, it is HER money.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Relationships can take so many turns, ones you don’t expect. You start dating someone, things are going smoothly, and then can just shock you in a moment with news you weren’t ready for. People are surprising, and it’s wise in relationships to weed out what’s normal and what isn’t. Exes are also a topic of conversation. When dating someone new, there shouldn’t really be a lot of contact with exes, I think we can all agree upon that. If there ar…

A marriage is a legal commitment to support one another through good times and bad. Therefore, one might think that being married is equivalent to deciding to bear the burden of life jointly rather than alone. The story below is an account of a frustrated husband. The original poster (OP) makes considerably more money than his wife does. As could be predicted, they each contribute a different sum of money to their joint residence. Things are starting to go south now that they are trying to purc…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When it’s someone’s wedding, you couldn’t be more happy for them (usually). We all want our friends and family to enjoy their perfect day, and we’re willing to make that day special for them (within reason). There are some people though, when you give them an inch, they want the whole foot. Some people don’t mind ‘using’ others to their expense. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this story, the woman’s brother is getting married, and as t…

Some people find it hard to understand that working from home still means having to work. Even though you are home, you are still required to do your job, and other than not having to commute and possibly working in your pajamas, it is not so different than working from the office. My husband, for example, has a hard time letting me work whenever I work from home and he is there. He will constantly come and talk to me, sometimes even while I am in the middle of a meeting. I always have to remin…

When you marry someone, you are not just marrying them, you are marrying their entire family. This is not just a saying, this is something anyone who is in a serious relationship should keep in mind. If one doesn't have a good relationship with their partner's family, then one should get ready for some real challenges. That being said, the responsibility of maintaining a good relationship with the family lies both with the partner and the family, and both should be on their best behavior with e…

Healthy relationships demand constant care in the form of excellent communication, mutual respect, and trust. But what happens to the partnership if one person betrays the other person's trust? Is the connection lost forever, or is there a way to make it right? The story below is an account of a heartbroken fiancé. The original poster (OP) has been dating her fiancé since the age of seventeen. Her fiancé represented her first genuine love, first kiss, and first romantic partner. You can only im…

You struggle every day to provide your kids with the greatest life imaginable. But how would you react, if, after over twenty years of unflinching love and sacrifice as a parent, your children's greatest goal was for you to live a lonely, isolated life? The painful tale of a heartbroken mother can be found below. The original poster (OP) had recently filed for divorce from her spouse of over twenty-five years. The divorce was long overdue as the husband had adulterous affairs with women half hi…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It goes without saying that taking the spotlight away from the bride on her wedding day is uncouth, and probably intentional. Everyone knows it’s her day, that she’ll want the love and support from her friends and family, and that she should be celebrated. If someone threatens that spotlight, things can get out of hand. This brings us to the Reddit piece. In this thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who’s always felt like she lives in th…

Welcome back internet queens and kings. Usually, people are notified of important dates, like weddings, months in advance, sometimes a year. It’s respectful and courteous to tell your guests well in advance about wedding dates, that is if you want them to come. If someone can’t make it given the ample time of planning, it has to be on them. What if you didn’t plan it? If something so crucial and important comes up at the same time as this long awaited wedding date? This brings us to the Reddit…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Your wedding is supposed to be a special, sacred day. Not to be overly dramatic, but it really should make you feel warm, loved, fulfilled, and euphoric about your future with your now partner. This isn’t always the case though. Bringing friends and families together from vastly different backgrounds and histories could cause an uproar. Furtive relationships can unfurl, dynamics you didn’t know were there, and tensions could rise when you alrea…
