relationships

Dating is an inherently awkward ballgame. If you can avoid it at all costs, we would highly recommend it. Just kidding of course, if you want to find love you have to put yourself out there. Sadly, it's just the way that it works. You can learn a lot about yourself through dating. You can learn your love languages, your turn-ons and turn-offs, and much more. You can also learn how weird you are, and if all the stars align, the person you're with will love that part the most.

Finding out that your boyfriend or husband has been cheating on you is devastating, whatever the circumstances. But sometimes, the truth is so ridiculously stupid, that it's almost funny. Maybe. Sort of. Together with The Single Society, we bring you funny, cringe-worthy, and ridiculous stories from real people who discovered that their exes were cheating on them. From finding out he's sleeping with your boss's sister, to meeting their other girlfriend while you're both bailing him out of jail, these stories will make you cringe on behalf of these pathetic men. Enjoy!

Life is full of things we don't understand. Why do we have graduation ceremonies? Why do we drink cow's milk? Why do we like jumping out of planes? Why do we get turned on by the most random things? It's one of the most exciting parts of being a human. We're all just weirdos aren't we? Luckily all of our niche likes and dislikes vary, so when we find someone who tickles our fancy, it's quite a special experience.

Moving in with someone is a massive step to take. Sharing a space allows you to see your roommate's true colors, and there will undeniably be occasional friction taking place between you two as you adjust to the new living situation. This is just to say that there needs to be a fair share of compromise to get through it all. If there's only one fridge, each person should be able to use at least half, all bills should be split evenly, and if there's only one bathroom there shall be no bathtub hoarding.

By now, we've all become acquainted with that one girl who defines herself as "one of the guys" or "not like other girls" or both. What does that even mean?! Other girls are the freaking bomb! On a recent Reddit thread, men told all about what they really think about "the cool girl" who has only guy friends and no girlfriends whatsoever. Feelings are mixed, but overall, they find this type of girl to be pretty shady. Scroll down for more, and let us know what y'all think. 

Who's ready for yet another toxic relationship posted about on the internet? Unfortunately, there's plenty of those to go around, and we're here to document it for you. In this week's drama, a wife on a Quora thread asked if she should have cooked her husband dinner at 10 pm after he called her lazy and disgusting for not doing so. Everyone who responded to her question seemed to be on her side for the most part, but what do you think of the situation? Any tips for this poor woman? Let us know in the comments. 

We're all out here trying out best to find love, but it's hard. We've downloaded all the dating apps as our cuffed-up friends told us to, but it's starting to feel like dating apps just ain't it. They should call them "waste my time" apps because that's exactly what we seem to do on these apps. The people of Twitter seem to be on the exact same page as us. Scroll down for this week's best dating app tweets. 

I think I speak for every single person when I say the modern dating scene can be pretty scary. But for someone unlucky ladies it can be downright terrifying. People not taking hints or even accepting a blatant rejection rearing their ugly heads can be undoubtedly frightening. We teamed up with The Single Society to tell you all about these spooky encounters from people who just couldn't take 'no' for an answer.

In today's modern dating sh*t show, it's essential to take as much control as you can. To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated is the Instagram account that helps women get the closure they need by publishing open letters to the men who have disappointed them in some way. And let's be honest, it's not that hard for a man to disappoint a woman. Here is this week's selection of hilarious, brutal, and slightly heartbreaking letters that might inspire you to write your own.

We've all made bad decisions, especially when there is lots of alcohol, a sexy Australian, and a high libido involved. Right?? This girl certainly has. This Sexcapade story is one that starts off seemingly innocent but lands a girl in real danger.  Keep in mind these things are only funny because no one actually got hurt! If you have a hilariously bad/funny/downright weird sexual experience to share with the entire universe, don't be shy! Share that shit right here. 

They say it's the little things which keep love alive, not necessarily the grand gestures (although, of course, they help too). One husband is proving how true this is by drawing funny doodles on the mirror to motivate his wife for the day ahead with her difficult boss.

Imgur user Taylor, aka doctorpond, shared the images of her husband's artistry, and the internet fell in love with them. When you know you have a challenging day ahead, there's nothing like knowing you've got a supportive partner on your side who will be there when you get home. This is true couple goals!

Money isn't always a sensitive topic. People who have a lot of it don't tend to get triggered when wages begin to be discussed. However, if you've ever lived paycheck to paycheck you know the anxiety that immediately follows the mentioning of finances. It's so easy to hide as well, money struggles. There are a million excuses to get out of some kind of event you can't pay for, especially during this past year. But if you love someone, and they live a more luxurious life, sometimes you pretend to have a little more than you actually do because, well, you're in love and you want to spend time with them... The only thing is that if they've always been wealthy, they may not always understand that kind of sacrifice.

When you marry someone, in a way, you also tied the knot with their family. Of course, this all depends on how close they are, and whether or not your spouse depends on them for anything. But once you sign that contract, your families are bound together. People are definitely capable of being amazing parents-in-law, but those families sound incredibly boring. It's the crazy in-laws that really spice up the family dynamic. 

People who don't have the best of relationships with their families tend to be very suspicious of people who do. We all base our judgments on our past experiences, so it's natural to think this way. But once we start projecting our own issues on other people... well it's simply not a cute look. Everybody has their own definition of family, and who they choose to include in it is entirely up to them, and not their new girlfriend.

Shy guys are having a moment right now. Remember when Jordin Sparks wrote a song about how she "don't mind me a shy boy," cleverly titled Shy Boy? That's because she knew what was good for us, even back then. On a subreddit thread, a Reddit woman asked Reddit men how to properly flirt with shy guys, and they had a whole lot to say on the matter. To make a long story short, just be super direct because they won't be able to identify even the most blatant of flirting. Need more details? Read on. 

Everybody has a list of turn-ons and turn-offs, maybe not a physical one, but we have an idea about what things we can't get enough of and what things make us want to immediately say, 'Adios' and dip. People might think they have to do super extravagant things to please a woman but really there are some very small things a guy can do to give us major butterflies. If you're curious, let's get into it.
