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…

What kind of family tradition is this?

He lied to her for years...

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. We live in a pretty strange era; global diseases, technology, globalization, virtue signaling, going no contact with family, and a slew of other first world problems. Going ‘no contact’ with family members is becoming as normal as keeping contact with them. These days, it seems to be the most common resort when a dispute arises. The world seems to become more divided, more black and white, and you’re either good or bad. That brings us to the Re…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Marriage is a long and arduous road; hand in hand with someone for decades can be daunting, yet beautiful if you both put in the work.

Now, for those too immature to handle problems with respect or tact, they deserve what’s coming to them. The shock at finding out your life is in such a level…

He really fumbled that one...

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

Welcome back internet ladies and gentlemen. Never before in the history of man did people have so many inexplicable and unexplainable issues surrounding food. There isn’t just lactose intolerant anymore. From peanut allergies, to vegetarianism, veganism, and gluten free, when hosting a dinner party these days it can be impossible to account for everybody’s restrictions. I once even heard a woman say she can’t have garlic. People are coming up with everything in the book and claiming they can’t…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Setting clear boundaries with people is a crucial part of relationships of any kind. When you don’t have boundaries set, people can walk all over you, make you uncomfortable, and disrespect you. This brings us to the Reddit story. A woman is pregnant, and her sister-in-law is making some pretty bizarre, borderline creepy comments. She’s sending her constant messages about how she’ll steal the baby, saying she wants to be in the delivery room, a…

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…

Being volun-told to do things is not fun.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. In life, you have to make some tough decisions. Maybe you have to choose between what to study, or between careers, or between places to live. You may even have to choose between romantic partners. But these days, it’s more and more common to have to choose family members. ‘No contact’ with family members is becoming a casual part of our culture, and regardless of your views on this strictness, it’s the truth. Everything is dependent on the sit…

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…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the universe. If 20 year olds find dating to be difficult, they’re in for a rude awakening as they try to date in their 40s and 50s. Dating when you’re older is much more difficult. With time, comes burdens, emotional burdens, and baggage that each person must carry. Divorces, children from different marriages, and a slew of other events make it hard and jading to date past 40 . But some people do it with spunk. Some people are able to date when they’re olde…

Was it really favoritism, or is it justified given the context?

“When it was my birthday this year I asked if anyone wanted to go out for dinner and the leader announced in response that she was pregnant again.”
