"We stopped talking two years ago"

‘Secrets are never forever’ is a strong statement I never thought I would read in a Reddit story written by a woman who cheated on her husband, but here we are. When one tries to keep a secret, they might think there will come a day when enough time has passed from that one horrible thing they did, but the truth is, there is always a chance it will come out, in ways they would least expect it. The woman in this story cheated on her husband almost three decades ago, and she genuinely thought she…

Her friend lied about having a smaller bridal party, just so she couldn't join in on the festivities.

Ladies, I want your full honesty on this one. As much as it is incredibly important to have a job, your own financial stability, and self-fulfillment, would it be great to just stay at home and let your partner do all the work? I genuinely do not think I would hate a life where I stay at home, and my husband works to ensure we have enough money to keep living. However, I would never do that to my partner, because I firmly believe in equality, and that we should both put in the same amount of ef…

Babies are, in fact, a top priority to new mothers

"He said that he wants a divorce from his new wife, and he regrets ever leaving me"

Throw the whole man away

Reading this story makes me wonder how some people still think it is okay to just show up announced at someone else's home. I barely even answer people's unannounced phone calls anymore, so if you try to come to my house without letting me know first, I don't care who you are, I am not opening that door. I am also stating that as a single woman with no responsibilities. If I was married and just had a baby, I promise you with everything in me that I would not let anyone in my home without them…

One of the biggest challenges in a marriage is conjoining your financial situations and finding a way to handle it together. It is not easy to make the shift between being completely independent and having full control of your own money, to having to rely and depend on a whole other person. When a couple is not on the same page financially, like when one is out of a job, that adds a whole other level of struggle that many couples have an extremely hard time getting out of, much like the married…

Heard it through the grapevine.

"He also had the gifts delivered to his parents house, and asked them to hide them and not mention it because ‘I would get angry’ [and] they agreed."

'He grabbed his keys and vanished out the door'

Run don't walk

Some people find it hard to understand that working from home still means having to work. Even though you are home, you are still required to do your job, and other than not having to commute and possibly working in your pajamas, it is not so different than working from the office. My husband, for example, has a hard time letting me work whenever I work from home and he is there. He will constantly come and talk to me, sometimes even while I am in the middle of a meeting. I always have to remin…

Every person is entitled to choose their friends and the people who are closest to them. No one should tell you who you can be friends with, and whether or not you are allowed to talk to certain people. That being said, common sense points out that there should be some red lines one should not cross. For example, being friends with your sibling's ex should not cross your mind, or keeping in contact with your ex's parents. Some relationships are simply off-limits, and no one should have to be th…

I am not sure if I should be proud of this or not, but my sisters are my best friends. I love my actual friends, but no one knows me as well as my two sisters, and I truly cherish them more than anyone else in my life. I cannot imagine what I would do if one of them decided to get married on the same day as I do, and I cannot understand what would drive someone to do that to their sibling. Why would you want to split up your entire family when as they decide which wedding to attend? Why ruin yo…
