When a couple's relationship starts getting really serious, there is always the question of when they should move in together. It is hard to decide when it is the right time to make such a move because sharing a space is probably the hardest challenge in the relationship. People are so different when it comes to how they treat their living space, which means there must be many disagreements. The woman who wrote this Reddit story is at a loss about what to do in her living situation with her hus…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Birthdays mean a lot to some people . It’s not necessarily about the day itself, or doing something greatly extravagant, but rather that your partner has acknowledged it, and wants to make it a happy and special day for you. Some women like a homemade dinner, some like a romantic getaway, and some prefer jewelry. All this woman wants is a night in, to order food, and for her husband to remember that it’s her birthday . He fails to do all of the…

Relationships—and marriages in particular—are built on the pillars of friendship, loyalty, and trust. Once any one of the three factors is violated, the damage is irrevocable. Contrary to popular perception, which holds that betrayal can be forgotten, the truth is that a broken heart never feels the same. The story below is an account of a heartbroken wife. The original poster (OP) is expecting her first child with her husband. Even when everything appears to be going well for OP on the surface…

He lied to her for years...

A baby's birth is a momentous occasion. An occasion to be honored and treasured. But shouldn't the mother also get some kind of respect or credit for all the hard work she put in before the baby arrived? The story of a frustrated daughter-in-law is presented below. The original poster (OP) had recently welcomed her first child into the world. Everyone is in awe of the blushing baby, and deservedly so. However, rather than indulging OP and making her feel like the superwoman that she is, the mot…

He really fumbled that one...

The only proper response to this question is "You break my scale."

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…

If you were jealous, you could've just said that!

Being volun-told to do things is not fun.

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…

Your wife and newborn baby should take priority over an inappropriate relationship with your co-worker.

Make sure you get to know someone well—through good times and bad—before deciding to tie the knot and dedicate the rest of your life to them. You have to accept them for who they are, warts and all since these characteristics are what make them who they are. The story that follows centers on an unhappy fiancé. The original poster (OP) has been dating his fiancé for over seven years. OP proposed last year when he finally felt ready to take the relationship to the next step. Even though he though…

If there is one thing that I am grateful for about getting married young, is that neither of us had money when we got married. I am fully aware that this sounds ridiculous to be grateful for, but the fact that we had almost the same starting point financially saved us from the pain of fighting about it. Both of us being young and at the start of our careers allowed us to build our financial state together and as equals, so there were no accusations of one of us being a gold-digger, mostly becau…

First and foremost, always put your family first. But what would you do if, only a few months before your wedding, your sister disclosed a dark, secret about your fiancé? Would you support your sister and express gratitude for her candor, or would you support your fiancé in opposition to your sister's testimony? An unhappy fiancé is the subject of the story that follows. After three years of dating, the original poster (OP) recently proposed. The idea of being married to the love of his life fi…

Your family should always come first. Having said that, there are instances in which you must put your needs and wants first. Does that mean you're a selfish person? or simply human? The story that follows is about an unhappy relative. The original poster (OP), who had moved to Germany with her husband and their four-month-old child, got an invitation to a cousin's wedding in the United States. OP had initially intended to travel to the wedding, even though she was aware that it would be highly…
