Some people think that just because they are forgetful, everyone else should forgive them for acting irresponsibly. Forgetting things, even if it is by accident, should not be a valid excuse, and there is a point in your adult life when you simply can't use it to explain your way out of commitments you failed to attend. It seems like the daughter in this Reddit story thought that her ignoring, or ‘forgetting’, her mother's wishes would simply be forgotten, but she could not have been more wrong…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When you fall in love and get married, you adopt not only your partner into your life, but you also adopt his family. You become so intermingled that you may even refer to your in-laws as ‘mom and pop.’ The close familial bond can be beautiful, and you may find yourself with a whole new set of family members who have your back when times get tough. Your mother-in-law could be like your second mother – nurturing, loving, and a shoulder to cry on…

Meeting your partner’s parents for the first time is a total nerve-wracker, unless you're this woman.

"[She] completely took herself out of my life."

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Everyone loves a good wedding; food, drinks, dancing, and the celebration of love. When your friend or family member is getting married, it’s exciting to see them in their element, with their love, and sealing the knot that will tie them together forever. But if there’s animosity towards the groom, you can’t expect to enjoy yourself. When someone betrays you, it stays with you forever. It will always be something you remember when you see them,…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Divorce, as common as it is, is incredibly painful for all parties involved. They say that there’s no bigger source of unhappiness than a divorce. It isn’t just the splitting of romantic love, it’s the asunder of two lives that are so intermingled, so encapsulated in each other, that to tear these tethered souls it takes years of logistic, legal, and emotional work to get over it. From separating finances, bank accounts, and material items, to…

I love my sister and I love our relationship, which is why I am smarter than to allow money to get mixed up in that relationship and ruin it. If you also cherish your relationship with your sibling, I advise you to follow suit. Nothing good comes out of mixing family and money, even if your initial plan was to do something kind for each other. The sisters in this Reddit story didn't expect their relationship to end when they decided that one sister would move into the other's apartment, but tha…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all know the illustrious, entitled, stereotype of the vegan who’s always on their pedestal of judgment for what everyone else’s diet looks like. We all have that vegan in our lives whose sole purpose seems to be shaming others for eating animals, and giving themselves a pat on the back for abstaining from this monstrous practice. Whether you’re vegan, vegetarian, or a carnivore, mankind has been eating animal products since the beginning of…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When we get married and settle down, no one can anticipate what our future will hold. We date, fall in love, get married, and before we know it we live on a farm in the middle of nowhere with our wife and kids, when 10 years ago we thought we’d be a suave bachelor with a New York City apartment. Or hey, maybe it’s the other way around for some people. The point being, is that life takes us on all sorts of turns, and when we agree to be with som…

Dad jokes: can't live with em, can't live without em

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We’re all familiar with ‘therapy speak,’ and it’s incorrect, or uneducated labels to people who may not be officially diagnosed. Someone may have narcissistic qualities, but it doesn’t mean they’re a narcissist. Someone may be overly avoidant about confrontation, but it doesn’t always mean they’re gaslighting you. So how do we know when we’re really being treated unfairly? It’s all in instinct and gut. In this Reddit thread, it centers around a…

Many brides will tell you that after you get married, there is not a lot you can actually do with your wedding dress. Sure, it is a nice memento, you can try it on five years after the wedding and see if it still fits, and you might be able to save it for the off chance that your future daughter will want to wear it as well. But other than that, it will only collect dust and take up unnecessary space in your closet for years, while you will just feel bad about getting rid of it since it is stil…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When we’re young and in love, it could either be the most fulfilling and beautiful relationship, or it could be a devastating heartbreak. Our youth gives us perspective and lessons that we can use the rest of our lives, but it doesn’t feel so comforting when we’re going through the motions. It’s one of the most hurtful feelings when you aren’t the priority to your partner . It doesn’t mean they shouldn’t have other friends or family members who…

What's your favorite side dish?

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We all dream of that special, one-of-a-kind soulmate that will complete us. The one to be our other half; the one who will lift us up when times are tough, provide the shoulder to cry on, and the one to laugh with. I think it’s fair to say that even when we’re sure of our person we want to marry, things change and adapt along the way. Marriage is a long and arduous road, and no one has all the answers on how to survive the tough times. In this…
