The boyfriend who is displeased is described in the story below. For more than a year, the original poster (OP) had been dating his girlfriend.

The 3-hour early bird gets kicked to the curb.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s never a good feeling when you feel like someone is trying to take advantage of you . The level of personal frustration and disrespect is unpleasant, not to mention the inconsideration. No one is obligated to take care of someone else’s children, even if it is family. Blood relations aren’t the end all/ be all of everything in life. People trying to convince you otherwise are just here to use you. This brings us to the Reddit story. It’s an…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s somehow so common to be expected to babysit for free . Blood is thicker than water, and I guess for some people that means you can expect your family members to take care of your children whenever you don’t feel like it. The truth of the matter is that if the kids are yours, then you are the only one expected to take care of them, no one else. This brings us to the Reddit thread. A woman has three children and no husband. After her busy an…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. It’s important to feel like the friends and family in your life support you and are there for you in whatever situation you struggle with. Having the safety and security of their reliance is a form of both love and respect, and when you don’t have it with your family it could create internal affairs that have long lasting consequences. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this piece, the original poster (OP) is a man whose brother is getting married. Over a…

Naming your child is the first thing you do as a parent. Thus, it makes sense to think that picking a name is a painful and stressful procedure. The story below is an account of a frustrated sister. It was just recently discovered by the original poster (OP) that she is expecting her first child, a girl. A long time ago, before she or her sister was pregnant, they talked about a name they both adored and decided that whoever became pregnant first would get to use it. However, when OP became pre…

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…

Maid of Horror

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…
