Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. It goes without saying that taking the spotlight away from the bride on her wedding day is uncouth, and probably intentional. Everyone knows it’s her day, that she’ll want the love and support from her friends and family, and that she should be celebrated. If someone threatens that spotlight, things can get out of hand. This brings us to the Reddit piece. In this thread, the original poster (OP) is a woman who’s always felt like she lives in th…

Welcome back internet queens and kings. Usually, people are notified of important dates, like weddings, months in advance, sometimes a year. It’s respectful and courteous to tell your guests well in advance about wedding dates, that is if you want them to come. If someone can’t make it given the ample time of planning, it has to be on them. What if you didn’t plan it? If something so crucial and important comes up at the same time as this long awaited wedding date? This brings us to the Reddit…

The season is now

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Your wedding is supposed to be a special, sacred day. Not to be overly dramatic, but it really should make you feel warm, loved, fulfilled, and euphoric about your future with your now partner. This isn’t always the case though. Bringing friends and families together from vastly different backgrounds and histories could cause an uproar. Furtive relationships can unfurl, dynamics you didn’t know were there, and tensions could rise when you alrea…

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. The workplace should be a place of professionalism, studiousness, and a drama-free environment. Although this is what it should be, it doesn’t always mean that’s what the workplace consists of. People still bring their pettiness and insecurities to work, and it shows when they least expect it. This brings us to the Reddit thread. It’s about a woman who’s in a less than traditional relationship. She’s poly and in a thrupple, and her male coworker thinks that it…

Hot coffee and hot goss in the break room.

She took it too far.

He was totally testing the waters.

It's a film, not a movie

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. When being invited to a wedding, it’s a ceremonial time in which you want to give gifts, love, appreciation, and thanks to the couple getting married. They’re ecstatic to be together, and their guests should be just as ecstatic for them. Now, how does one engage in this gratitude if the bride and groom aren’t even there? It’s like throwing a birthday party and not showing up. Regardless of their reasoning, it’s bewildering and immature to leave your own weddin…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. When you get married, you don’t just marry the person in front of you, but you’re married into their whole family, for the good or the bad. It’s never easy to be ensconced in someone else’s life; being immersed with their mothers, fathers, and other members of the family can strain the relationship. As long as everyone keeps an even keel, things should be fine, but this is easier said than done. In this Reddit thread, the woman has a difficult…

Welcome back travelers of the internet. Planning a vacation can be spontaneous, creative, and exciting, but it’s also a buttress of work and time management. Sometimes it can seem effortless to just book tickets and arrive somewhere, but there’s accommodations to book, how to get there, public transportation to navigate, other currencies, and a slew of other issues that can arise. It makes sense that after someone has saved up so much money, put in the time and effort of planning everything, an…

PTO needs to be NOW

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…
