Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Finding out about your partner’s affair is one of the most painful experiences in the world. There’s nothing that parallels the overwhelming, suffocating combination of betrayal, disrespect, disgust, heartbreak, and anger that can nearly destroy someone. As heartbreaking and crushing as it can be, it’s somehow a wildly common crime to commit. As much as a stab in the back as this is, it’s even worse when the affair partner is someone you know.…

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…

What are you brewing up?

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…

No shame for doom scrolling

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,…

This has to be a trick.

She did not sign up for this!

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.…

Some friendships have expiration dates.

Forever roommate.

He said, she said!

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…
