Anyone who has given birth will agree that labor is a pretty much all-consuming activity. All you can—and should be—focusing on is getting yourself to the hospital as quickly as possible. It would help if you didn't have to worry about tracking down your partner while doing so, who had made themselves as unavailable as possible. It sounds like an absurd scenario, right? Well, one woman who posted on Reddit's Am I The A-hole faced this very scenario when she couldn't reach her husband when she was in labor. After failing to respond to her texts and calls, she called a friend to take her to the hospital. Her husband, who only looked at his phone at the end of the workday, was p*ssed at her for not going via his office to get him, so that he could be there for the birth of their daughter. Of course, the internet jumped to the woman's defense, calling her husband out for being a massive a-hole.

In my humble opinion, one of the worst trends that social media has perpetuated in the last few years is the gender reveal party. Never has there been a worse excuse to celebrate something that doesn't need celebrating. Parents, trust me, aside from you and possibly your parents, no one else is as invested in the sex of your baby. Let me say that again for the people at the back: NO ONE CARES! People have taken the trend way too far, spending insane amounts of money revealing the gender of their baby, and the madness needs to stop. One father, who also clearly feels the same, wrote to Reddit's Am I The Asshole after sabotaging his wife's $4K elaborate gender reveal plan for their unborn (spoiler alert) son. He posted the gender on Facebook instead, which left his wife understandably gutted. People commented with mixed reviews, some calling him an asshole for sabotaging his wife's announcement in the way he did, but others congratulated him for putting a stop to spending so much money on the gender reveal. What do you think? Asshole or not?
Having not put on a full face of makeup for the best part of a year, I jump at any opportunity to get dressed up. Or at least to feel like I've put some effort into my appearance, because how long can a girl wear sweats and have her hair in a messy bun before she goes insane? So I fully support any woman who puts on makeup to feel good about the way she looks, even if it's to stay at home. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with me. One guy posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole, explaining that his wife, who received some makeup as a gift, has started experimenting with different looks, adding that "she's really talented with it, and she's having a lot of fun." So far, so good.
That is until his brother "decided she must be posting pictures or sending pics to some dude or multiple dudes," aka, she must be cheating because there's no other explanation as to why she'd suddenly be wearing makeup. Of course, women only wear makeup to cheat on their partners, right? The woman's husband called his brother an "insecure, testicle grabbing, chauvinist man-baby," which obviously didn't go down well. Read the whole story below, and see how quickly Redditor's jump to her defense, commend the OP for his healthy attitude towards the entire thing and call out the toxic brother-in-law for projecting all hit sh*t onto his brother's wife.
Being in love isn't all flowers and unicorns. Sometimes your significant other can piss you off so much that you want to punch a hole in the wall (ala-Andy from The Office). And when that happens, Twitter is at your service, to vent your frustrations to the world and hopefully find some solace in other people's relationship woes. Welcome to your weekly dose of funniest relationship tweets to dig into. And when you're finished with these, here are last week's gems to peruse through.
Marriage is not all mushy rainbows and butterflies. But if you listen to what your wife needs from you, perhaps it can be. You know what they say: happy wife, happy life. JK - obviously, both parties have to meet in the middle and make compromises for one another, but that doesn't mean you can't show your wife a little extra love and go above and beyond for her from time to time. The women of Twitter have never been shy when it comes to sharing their thoughts, and they're all about letting their future husbands know about all their future desires and expectations.

And when you're done with these, check out last week's funniest relationship tweets which are equally as entertaining.
This past year has been rough on most people. Emotionally, financially, even spiritually. A lot of us have had to make serious adjustments in our lives to keep ourselves safe and secure. This time has also tested a lot of couples. Some had to be together for obnoxiously long periods, some didn't get to see each other for months at a time, and some had to flat-out end things. In sum, the world is different. But one thing will always be important when it comes to relationships, and that thing is communication.
A woman posted on the subreddit Am I The A-Hole wanting to know whether her former husband's new wife was unreasonable in requesting that she change her married name. The new wife texted the former wife asked her to revert to her maiden name, "Because we are married now, and I'm his wife. I should be the only one with his last name." The OP wrote that she and her ex, "have not been married for over 12 years. The reason I did not change my name is due to all my professional certifications and licenses. Ex and I agreed when we got divorced that it was too much of a hassle to change everything, and I would keep my last name the same to avoid the stress and headache of having to do that."
Of course, Redditers jumped to her defense and calling out the new wife for being unreasonable, as well as her former husband for indulging the nonsense. See what you think of this ridiculous woman.
Being on a diet isn't easy, but it's especially tough when you're living with someone who isn't. Watching them eat all the foods you are restricting can be a hard temptation, but diets are a personal choice, and no one else should have to limit themselves for you just because you've decided to diet. Sure, you can be mindful of what you eat in front of someone, but that's about it. One married couple is butting heads over the correct way to go about one of them dieting, and the husband posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole for some moral support.

With any luck, they'll make you feel a little less alone with your own love-related struggles.
If you're married to a man, then you'll be able to relate to these memes about wives roasting their husbands. Because men do a lot to deserve being made fun of, especially husbands. From the way they breathe to the way they eat, having a husband is essentially, it's like having an overgrown child. These women know what's up when it comes to raising their man-children-husbands, and if you have one, then you'll relate hard.
Anyone who buys lunch every day at work will know how fast the bills add up. A coffee here, a burger there, and a salad somewhere else, these 'small' costs can suddenly become significant accumulated amounts. One couple decided that in an attempt to save up for a house, part of their cost-cutting strategy would be for the husband to bring in his wife's homemade sandwiches instead of buying fast food. But when she found out through his coworker that he had been selling her sandwiches to them and using the money to buy fast food instead, she was understandably devastated and felt like she was being taken advantage of.
Finding "the one" is a beautiful thing, especially when you're genuinely in love. Tying the knot, starting a new life together, and beginning your journey into married bliss is something that every couple dreams of. But then, reality sets in, and real-life begins. Suddenly, you have someone keeping you awake every night with their snoring, and there is dirty laundry strewn all over the floor. Now, you always have to take someone into account when making decisions, even when you don't like them very much. Welcome to marriage bliss; it's a beautiful place.
Relationships are a funny thing. It's something that we all think about It, probably more than we should. Also, it seems like everyone has relationship advice to give, regardless of whether or not they've ever actually had a successful relationship — or any relationship at all for that matter, but we all like to pretend like we're little love gurus. Relationships are also clearly not like how they are portrayed in movies. The idea of love at first sight is so unrealistic it hurts, and they really overemphasize the idea that 'opposites attract'; any psychologist will tell you differently.
If you want to see the reality of what relationships are actualy like, well, Twitter has got your back.

A whole lotta sht could go down in a marriage, and a whole lot of sht can go down at work. But what about when the two collide and create an explosion of cringe and awkwardness?

A man posted about how his wife felt it was completely okay to invade his privacy and break into his personal Facebook account in order to fire a coworker that she had a problem with. Scroll down to hear about the drama that ensued.
