Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When you marry, you don’t just marry the person, but in a way you marry their family. You’re accepted as one of them, and there’s usually an obligation to have a relationship with different members. You’re expected to be at family functions, holidays, and the like. If you don’t get along with a member, well it will be strikingly obvious, and could create a lot of turmoil. Rivalries, favoritism, choosing sides, it can get more than tricky to navigate.

What else was she supposed to do?

They didn't understand the assignment.

He betrayed her long before the confession.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. The topic of paternity tests is gaining more and more popularity all the time. 50 years ago, I don’t think it even occurred to men to get a paternity test. It means a lot for the state of our culture; cheating at one time in history was almost a given, and you stay in your marriage for the sake of survival. Now, cheating is an all encompassing act that leaves someone feeling so betrayed and unfulfilled. We transpose our identity onto our partne…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It’s too common of a story when a woman is deeply unimpressed with her husband’s behavior. There’s the phrase deadbeat dad for a reason . You don’t hear the same descriptions of women and moms, not that they can’t be uninvolved, but it’s not the stereotype. Men have the standard that it’s impressive when they at least show up emotionally or mentally. Even though this is the case, it’s not every father, and nowadays men are opening up and talkin…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. It’s almost too common to disagree with your in-laws about something, and more often than not it’s between a wife and a mother-in-law. Now, I don’t want to point fingers at the man and say that perhaps he’s a spoiled mama’s boy, and that’s why this relationship dynamic occurs far too often, but it’s certainly possible. Anyway, there can be a slew of reasons why these two women can’t get along . Maybe there are expectations for caretaking, grandparenting, or fi…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. They say you can choose your friends, but you can’t choose your family. You can even choose your partners, but you can’t choose your family member’s partners either. It’s more than disappointing to have a sibling who married someone you don’t see eye to eye with. Family dinners, events, and reunions somehow always have to have that one uncle, that one in-law who just causes copious amounts of drama to everyone. The one always trying to start a…

Welcome back wedding lovers. Weddings are one of my favorite things. It’s like one big party, all your friends are there, families come together, you dance, you laugh, hug people, and most importantly have access to free drinks. It’s a beautiful and special occasion, but people involved have been known to make things not as easy or pleasant as they should be. In this particular Reddit thread, the bride is one of those, how do you say, Bridezillas? She’s enforced a myriad of rules on her guests,…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Relationships take many turns. We all have our set ways of communication, expressing ourselves, feeling loved, and emotional attachment. Trying to orchestrate these things with someone else is never easy, especially when life’s spontaneous struggles surprise us out of nowhere. You may feel happy and stable with someone, like everything is perfect and you’ve finally found the one. But people will show their true colors eventually, and when they do it can be an…

First surprising steps in a journey that lasts a lifetime.

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. We live in a world with so much importance put on material possessions, that sometimes we forget and forgo the human in us. We would rather ruin relationships we have than let go of that adored shirt that cost us so much. It’s a bit unhealthy, if you ask me, but it’s the way of the world, and that’s a fact. Material items and money work hand in hand to disallow us to separate from these meaningless things, to focus on interpersonal relationships. Inheritance i…

Welcome back people of the internet cosmos. We love a story of a rocky relationship; there’s just something so satisfying about being able to read what two people are going through, analyze it, and choose a side. Instead of concentrating on our own lives or interpersonal issues, we can easily delve into other people’s problems. We love to indulge in drama as long as it’s not our own. This brings us to the Reddit thread. In this piece, the couple has been together for a couple years. Based on th…

They say betrayal comes from the most trusted person...

He married her for a lifetime supply of free services.

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Family dynamics are funny; for some people, being close-knit to extended family members is a must. They want their children to all be best friends with their siblings' children, having family get-togethers, dinners, and vacations together. For some, this is what it means to be a family, and for others, it’s far from necessary dynamics. This brings us to the Reddit thread. For this couple, they would love if the husband’s brother took more care and effort into…
