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…

As sympathetic as one can be to people who have no one to talk about their issues with, some lines cannot be crossed. It is okay to occasionally say 'no' to people who seek advice and comfort in the wrong place. What does it mean to seek comfort in the wrong place, you ask? Here is the perfect example – The woman who wrote this Reddit story (OP, original poster) divorced her husband 17 years ago after he cheated on her. He then went on and married the woman he cheated with, and they all remaine…

"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.

"This majorly upset me because this whole pregnancy has not felt like a partnership what so ever. He only made one of my several ultrasounds..."

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…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Halloween is around the corner and spooky season affects us all differently. Some people don’t care, some people have a whole month of Halloween macabre themed activities, and some people like to dress up in costumes and try to scare others. Some people like to connect to their dark side, to push boundaries and see how someone will react in atypical situations. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman whose sister-in-law is a…

Ignorance is bliss, a common and quotable phrase that everyone can resonate with. There’s two types of people: one that needs to know everything they don’t want to hear, and the one who wants to be blind in blissful ignorance. Once you know something, you can’t unknow it. Once you know something, it could haunt you for years to come, and at the end of the day if you can’t do anything about it, it could very well be useless to have found out. The truth is a tricky, daunting, and fickle subject.…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. I think we can all agree that it would be ridiculous to wear white to someone’s wedding, right? For some reason there are countless people who don’t understand this, and don’t adhere to it. I guess they think the wedding is more for them and less for the people getting married. Some people just think the world revolves around them. In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who got married, in conjunction with a bit of family dr…

The good ol’ mother-daughter dynamic …I can’t count how many female friends I have with ‘mommy issues.’ It’s almost like an epidemic. From what I’ve seen, daughters are either extremely close with their mothers, to the point that they’re practically best friends, or they butt heads time and time again. In this Reddit thread, not only does this woman hav e a somewhat strained relationship with her mother, but she’s always been the ‘wild child.’ The original poster (OP) is the father, who writes…

Sometimes, you've got to get creative.
