relationships

We all have certain sayings that make us cringe. It's hard to look at someone in the same way after they say something like, "All of my ex-girlfriends are completely insane" or, "Feminists take it way too far." Like calm down Chad, nobody asked. These also tend to be the same kind of people who complain about being way too nice and use that to explain why people don't like them. Oops, sorry to call you out if this sounds like you. Luckily these are only red flags to some people, eventually, we should be able to find people who don't see our behavior as cringy, and continue to get to know us regardless.

Popular Instagram account, To The Guys I've (Kinda) Dated publishes letters that women have written to the sorry excuses of men they dated. From the long-term boyfriends to the one-or-two-date guys, these are the words of disappointment that women wish they could have said in person, for fear of them falling on deaf ears. Instead, they put them out to the universe (AKA, on Instagram), and maybe, just maybe, the guys will read them there, do some soul searching and change their ways. Unlikely though.

Dating apps are fine and dandy in theory, but in reality, they're pretty weird digital spaces. You're gonna have to go through a lot of duds until you find your dude - if you ever find him, that is. Through their hilarious weekly tweets, the people of Twitter make it clear that it's not their first time on the rodeo when it comes to these apps. The tweets below will encourage you to delete your dating apps immediately if you haven't already. And if you somehow managed to find love on these cesspool apps, let us in on your secrets please. 

How could you tell whether your friends are the real deal? First thing, they don't intentionally serve you something you're allergic to. If your friends have done this, it's probably a sign that they're not really your friends. That's exactly what went down in the latest "Am I The A$$hole?" subreddit thread. The original poster's boyfriend's friends invited them over, and OP informed them that she's allergic to lychee. When she arrived, both the starter and the main course had lychee. Apparently, the friends did it to get revenge on her because they thought she cooked halloumi skewers at a BBQ a month prior when one of the friends was lactose intolerant. The boyfriend was actually the one that made the skewers. Regardless, these friends sound hella toxic. What do y'all think? Let us know in the comments below. 

Defining the relationship can be super awks, especially in this day and age. You could tell that your casual hookup has caught the feels for you, and if you don't feel the same way, that conversation might not be one you want to have. Luckily for you, Redditors came up with a genius thread about how to respond when your summer fling asks the dreaded question: "what are we?" Instead of being mature and honest about it, you could avoid responding entirely with the wonderfully hilarious one-liners below.

Relationships can be challenging, but it makes things a little easier when you can vent about it on Twitter. And you can bet that whatever frustrations you're going through in your relationship, someone else is experiencing the same thing in theirs. Each week we collect the funniest relationship tweets we could find over the past seven days, and these are just as funny as last week's collection. With any luck, they'll make you feel a little less alone with your own love-related struggles.  

Millions of people watch porn every day, and there are a wide variety of 'erotic films' that one can find on the internet. Some of them are 'amateur' and look like two regular people having sex, while others include the most taboo poses, people, and objects. Basically, every f*cked up thought you've ever had, guaranteed somebody has already made a porno about it. People have very mixed opinions on whether these crazy films can negatively affect our expectations for sex in the real world. Considering watching porn is so common, it is clear that plenty of people are still able to have very healthy sex lives. But as women, it is definitely easy to tell which men are brainwashed beyond repair from their porn addiction.

Breakups suck; there are no two ways about it. But some suck way more than others, and there's something about being dumped when you're on a two-person boat in the middle of the lake that makes you really question the person's sanity. So, if you're about to end a relationship with your significant other, do it in the kindest way possible, please! And if you've just been brutally dumped, then at least know that you're not alone. Redditors shared the difficult breakups they endured that didn't make much sense and left them wondering "WTF," and they're nothing short of shocking. Hopefully, their misery will make you feel less alone, or at least give you comfort that it could be way, way worse.

Bad dates make for GREAT stories! With the plethora of dating apps at our constant disposal single people all over the world have the pleasure of experiencing a never-ending flow of terrible dating experiences and painfully awkward situations...And we just LOVE to hear about them! We have teamed up with dating blog The Single Society to bring you a list of the absolute worst things that happened on the dates of last week. Do YOU have a bad/funny/awkward date to share? Please do so here!

Divorce is rarely pretty. Although it means that two people who no longer work together can go their separate ways and be happier alone or with someone else, it's a messy process. From custody arrangements to dividing assets, it's heartbreaking when two people have to take a life they've built together and split it in half. Of course, in an ideal situation, the couple tries to get the process done as amicably as possible, but we say most for a reason. Others, unfortunately, approach the divorce in the most spiteful, immature, and petty as possible. These Redditors who shared their experiences of the craziest things their ex-spouse did to them after getting divorced have left us shook—truly— and show us just how petty people can get. If you're looking to feel better about your divorce, read these stories of total crazy. You can thank us later!

When someone in our family has a significant other it's important to make them feel welcomed into the family, nobody likes to feel like they're not good enough. But there is definitely a line between making someone feel included, and placing them on a higher caliber than your actual family member. 50% of marriages end in divorce, but even though they happen all the time, they can be extremely difficult to manage. What someone definitely does not need to deal with while going through a divorce, is their sister vouching for their ex. If you're not going to side with your family member, maybe just don't comment on the divorce at all.

Another day, another toxic relationship posted on Reddit's infamous "Am I The A$$hole?" thread. This week, we got an abusive man-child on our hands. The original poster shared her tale about how she had already cooked a huge meal for her fiance and was eating her own food later on when he asked if she'd share her food with him. When she said no but offered him leftovers in the fridge, he spat on her food to claim it as his own. When she threw it out anyways, he demanded an apology for not giving it to him. So many red flags. It's pretty crystal clear who the a$$hole is here, but what do y'all think? Read on for more context. 

It's 2021, and dating norms have changed drastically over the years. Back in the day, men had the cash cash, so of course, they're the ones that paid. But times have changed, and the playing field has been leveled out. A Redditor started a thread asking Reddit men what they think about women paying on dates. Apparently, a man she casually seeing felt weird about her paying on some of their dates. Most Reddit men had no problem with it, whereas some were more old-fashioned about it. 

When it comes to dating, it's important to have realistic expectations. Otherwise, you're only setting yourself up for disappointment and frustration. But there's a thin line between realistic expectations and full-blown delusion, and it turns out that line is these people here. These individuals are so deluded when it comes to romance that we can imagine they'll be single for a very long time. Check out their crazy dating requirements and send them to anyone you think could do with a bit of nudge in the right direction regarding romantic expectations.

Welcome to another week of Twitter poking fun of dating apps! This week, tweeting about old-fashioned ways to find love apart from dating apps is all the rage, with people referencing every pop culture reference from the past twenty years from High School Musical to Twilight. Even the Bible is mentioned in one of the hilarious tweets. We're absolutely loving this trend, and rounded up a couple of our favorite tweets below. Which is the most likely to work out for you? Let us know in the comments. 

What people do in the bedroom is entirely up to them, and as long as it's consensual it's all good with us. Different people require different things to get them excited, and others need something extra to keep the party lasting a little longer... If you know what we mean wink, wink. There are all kinds of ways to deal with such circumstances, but one of the most taboo might be those over-the-counter drugs you can find at most local gas stations. The topic of 'keeping it up' is not exactly covered by your average high school sex-ed class. Should it be?
