From raising mama boys to controlling behavior, they can be the source of many issues. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is sick of his mother-in-law’s controlling behavior regarding his wedding. The…

Whenever one holds an event of some sort, they might feel a strong need for everyone who attends to focus all their attention on the celebrator and no one else. During a wedding, for example, the bride usually hates when someone tries to steal her focus, and the same might apply to birthdays, baby showers, and funerals (kidding with the last one, I hope…). That is why I understand why the wife in this Reddit story was upset, and I can relate to her initial reaction. During her baby shower, OP's…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s scary to think that you could be with someone for two full years, and not really know them.

There could be some deep, dark secrets you don’t want to know about, or they’re incapable of forming intimate bonds. In this Reddit th…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Friend breakups are the worst. It can be just as painful to realize your friend slipping away from you as it is to feel the loss of a romantic partner. Your time together becomes a memory, and you may always miss their presence in your life. It hurts to feel like your friends don’t like you, like you’re being ganged up on, or that they’re talking about you behind your back.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We live in an era where children see far too many things at far too young of an age. From Instagram, to TikTok, YouTube, and Facebook, there’s no telling what someone will see online at an age where they should be outside and playing with their friends. The digital world will change us forever, but in what ways? It feels like 12-years old is the new 18, and by 22-years old people are looking and seeming 40. But enough about the modern age. This…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. We’re here to talk about all things family dramas , because we just can’t get enough of it.

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. The topic of free babysitting for family members will never get old. There’s such hype around this, and for good reason. It seems like families worldwide expect anyone they’re related to to just be a free babysitter at the drop of a hat. This may work for some people, but not for others. This Reddit story is about just that. These sisters have an agreement: when one is gone the other watches her kid , and in the reverse situation she watches the dog. This seem…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Relationships are diverse; what one person expects from their partner could be vastly different from what someone else expects. Some couples don’t get into the nitty gritty, they don’t communicate on the same level as I may expect from my relationship.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Cheating is all too common , and the telltale signs will never lie to you.
