"I feel like it's my dress and my decision."

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Living with a parent as an adult can cause a lot of friction; when we’re with our parents, it can be easy to slide back into being obstinate, petulant, child-like versions of our adult selves. While we may not like to be reminded of those qualities, we were children at one time too. And some people will always feel like they’re parents to their own parents. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man whose father needs a place to s…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Parenting is no walk in the park. One wrong comment, one slip of the tongue and a curse word comes out, next thing you know your kid is blabbing profanity during his daily ambulations to school. Albeit kids minds are incredibly impressionable, they’re also malleable, and you can out teach them learned behaviors. It’s important to teach your children moral and ethical lessons, or they could wind up doing something with more consequences than it’…

The key to any happy marriage is trust. The mutual respect that’s required is unmatched to superficial connections, like having fun together or having the same taste in art. To make a relationship thrive long-term, it needs more than to be bereft of callous remarks, or denigrating tones. To really make it, both parties must want to, they must want to hear the other side, and they mustn’t sweat the small stuff. Loyalty, respect, and trust will always allow a relationship to go further than one w…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We never want to feel like a blight to someone’s life, especially when we feel like we’re sacrificing our own to help them. There’s a sense of betrayal when your efforts to help someone else go unnoticed or belittled. It’s demeaning, and makes one feel unappreciated, unseen, and unnoticed. It’s a great gift of love and a sacrifice to help someone with their growing business. We all know that no one formed a successful business all by themselves…

The idiosyncrasies surrounding wedding drama can have the breadth of the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. Whether it’s a classic Bridezilla story of a woman making her bridesmaid’s lose weight, a mother-in-law trying to get the upper hand and control everything, or a sibling being uninvited on account of something they’re done to disrespect the engaged couple, wedding drama will always have us at the edge of our seats, wondering about all the niche details. In this particular story, the origin…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Finding out about your partner’s affair is one of the most painful experiences in the world. There’s nothing that parallels the overwhelming, suffocating combination of betrayal, disrespect, disgust, heartbreak, and anger that can nearly destroy someone. As heartbreaking and crushing as it can be, it’s somehow a wildly common crime to commit. As much as a stab in the back as this is, it’s even worse when the affair partner is someone you know.…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Some people have strict protocols when it comes to lending money. Some might lend it frivolously, while others choose never to mix money and relationships . To be honest, I’m on the side of the latter; I think someone has to be in extremely dire need of money to feel justified in lending them money, unless it’s small amounts. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who’s already lent his brother a large sum of money, expecting…

She did what had to be done.

Maybe she should start giving her MIL some unwanted names, too.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. These days it’s more common to uninvite someone to your wedding than it is to just invite them. The scandal that someone is omitted from the gathering will cause gossip for years to come, and let’s face it, what’s a wedding without a little drama? Everyone has their own reasons for doing so, and some are more valid than others. But when one goes around mocking your soon-to-be brother-in-law publicly, I’m not sure what they expect to happen. If…

"I don’t think we should have to endure that kind of disrespect just to keep the peace."

Sister dearest has let her down more than once.

For people who have been through the pain that accompanies infidelity, you can understand why someone uninvolved would want to take action. There’s always this feeling that the other person should know, and in general that’s true. No one wants to be continually lied to, betrayed, disrespected, and embarrassed by the fact that someone else is intimate with their partner. This Reddit thread is about just that. The OP is a woman whose neighbor is clearly having an affair. From watching for months,…

"Europe will still be there."

When it comes to free babysitting, no one should actually feel they're obligated contribute when it's not their kid. We're all aware of the notion that some people don't like kids at all, only their own, and some people don't even like their relatives kids! There's only a certain amount of empathy one can hold for others , and if personal boundaries are stepped over, then it's up to the person to redraw the line. In this reddit thread, it's about just that. The original poster (OP) is a woman w…
