Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Marriage isn’t a walk in the park. You have to always teeter totter between compromise, patience, and calmness. Open communication is crucial, and for me, emotional stability is number one. Couples will always have disagreements, conflicts, and things to work through, but it’s how you handle these things that matters the most. Getting angry or heated about a conflict is the opposite of what I would want in a relationship. It’s important to keep yourself ground…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. To be honest, I barely knew what ‘legal separation’ meant until reading this Reddit thread. I guess the idea behind it has good intentions, but it lacks some clarity and keeps two people in a strange limbo, opening up new disasters to happen. But hey, I’m not the one to judge here. What I do judge is that the man sees one text on his wife’s phone and acts like she had some great, outrageous affair when she didn’t. We all make mistakes, and hinting to a coworke…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Sibling dynamics could be very difficult.

Not only are they harming themselves and their own life, they’re endangering their children’s mental health, physical health, and futures at the same time. Take this Reddit piece for example, th…

They have no reason to believe that the liar has changed, or that there aren’t more things they’ve lied about. If one’s willing to lie about cheating on their partner, why wouldn’t they have lied about many other things? It’s a slippery slope, and is basically a death sentence in a relationship. Without trust, there can never be…
