Why not just be happy that your wife is healthy and beautiful?

Salty sisterly love

In our most vulnerable moments , it can be really easy to sink down to the point that we Google our partner’s ex just to compare ourselves. It’s silly, really. That person is an ex for a reason, and you partner is actively choosing to be with you now, so there isn’t any reason to worry. But when the insecurities are insecuring and the ego is wheezing like a dis-inflated balloon, we might begin to tell ourselves otherwise. Throw in a mean-spirited mother-in-law who seems to favor your partner’s…

Live, love, leave...

No matter how many parents warn younger couples not to rush having children, this mistake keeps repeating itself and the world ends up with more children with divorced parents than children with an actual functioning family. Not to say that the couple in this Reddit story is going to divorce, we would not wish that to anyone, but it seems like they needed to have a serious conversation before having their first child, and now it is a bit too late. OP (original poster), is a new mom, who is also…

Future Mrs.

Some people hit the relationship jackpot, and this couple is certainly worthy of that statement. One woman took to r/marriage to share something she was struggling with understanding — her husband, the most amazing person in the world to her, felt that he was unattractive. She couldn't understand how he could think such a thing, as to her, he was the most beautiful person she'd ever met. She sang his praises, expressing her deep love and care for him in an adorable post. She listed the things s…

One of my biggest pet peeves when it comes to sharing a home with my boyfriend is having to also share my food. Sharing my bed? I am totally okay with. Sharing a Netflix account? Sure. Sharing my snack? That is where I draw the line. The problem, and I am sure anyone who has ever lived with a man before can back me up here, is that they rarely have self-control when it comes to food. If the food is around, they will probably eat it, no matter who it belongs to. Even if I make my boyfriend swear…

One of the most important parenting tips that I can give young parents is always to be a unanimous front in front of their children. Never fight in front of the kids, and never turn the kids against the other parent. You have to be together, or at least appear to be together when you are educating your kids, and only later, behind closed doors, talk about the disagreements you might have with one other. Otherwise, the only thing that the kids will learn is that they can get away with whatever t…

Having kids should be one of the first things couples talk about when things start to get serious between them. This topic can singlehandedly end relationships, so to leave that topic out of the relationship can be a big mistake if you want it to work. Couples should talk openly and freely about anything that has to do with having kids – Do you want kids? How many? By what age? How important is it to you? What would happen to our relationship if we discovered that one of us couldn't have kids?…

A lot to unpack here

Before you get married, you would hope that you know everything about your partner. Everything - even the bad stuff- should be talked about before you decide to commit the rest of your life to one person. Family history, past traumas, all of it. You don't want to be legally bound to a person you thought was someone else. But alas, that is not always the case. Just like in these folks' marriages, some important things came out after they said, 'I do.' Some of their spouses revealed truths that...

Disputes over food might be one of the most common flights between two people in a relationship. It can be a flight over something as small as one not washing the dishes from last night's dinner, but also as big as one not respecting the other's eating restriction and literally forcing them to remain hungry. Yes, I am talking about the husband in this Reddit story, and please, let me explain. A woman turned to Reddit after she and her husband had some friends over, and they decided to order piz…
