married

Less and less are people submitting themselves to classic monogamous relationships. It may be about time considering 50% of marriages end in divorce. However, if you're going to go away and stray from the form, it's important that all partners have similar expectations. The most important part of any relationship is communication, so when it is lacking, it really shows.

It's important to have a good relationship with your in-laws. A lot of the time, they are watching you like a hawk, since they will never fully accept that anyone is good enough for their picture-perfect child. Usually the closer you are to your parents, the more they feel they deserve to know about your significant other as well. But at some point, they need to let go. You can still have an honest and open relationship with your family without giving away every detail of your married life. They're called boundaries, heard of it?

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 a woman definitely has its perks. We can wear whatever we want, cry whenever we want, and sleep with whoever we want — Just kidding, in that case, we'd be called "easy." But seriously it is 2021, a woman no longer strives to simply marry rich, they are smart, strong, and independent boss bitches. It has become increasingly clear that women are more than capable to support themselves, as well as their husbands and families, It is time the service world catches up as well.

Relationships have their ups and downs, but venting about your love problems on Twitter makes them a lot more bearable.

So here's something that you don't see every day, especially on Instagram. Meet Mark Bryan, the "straight, happily married guy that loves Porsche's, beautiful women, and incorporating high heels and skirts into my daily wardrobe." Now, of course, anyone can wear whatever they like, but personally, as someone who can't walk in heels, why anyone would put themselves through that absolutely necessary is beyond me. But you do you! This is a judgment-free zone, and I say wear whatever makes you happy, whichever gender you are.

The universe has a funny way of bringing people together, and people meet their partners in all sorts of ways.
