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…

Refuel with your cashmere robe and a good crime series

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…

“He came back inside and asked if I was done having a tantrum.”

Being volun-told to do things is not fun.

Your priorities should always be centered around your family. Having said that, when is it right to establish boundaries and limits with the people you care about the most? The story below is an account of a frustrated wife. The original poster (OP) and her partner planned a summer vacation with their sister-in-law and husband. They booked a three-bedroom Airbnb for their joint summer vacation. Even though at first everything seemed to be going well and everyone was excited about the anticipate…

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…

Stick it out through the awkward beginning, and you'll be rewarded in the end

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…

Your wife and newborn baby should take priority over an inappropriate relationship with your co-worker.

Make sure you get to know someone well—through good times and bad—before deciding to tie the knot and dedicate the rest of your life to them. You have to accept them for who they are, warts and all since these characteristics are what make them who they are. The story that follows centers on an unhappy fiancé. The original poster (OP) has been dating his fiancé for over seven years. OP proposed last year when he finally felt ready to take the relationship to the next step. Even though he though…

If there is one thing that I am grateful for about getting married young, is that neither of us had money when we got married. I am fully aware that this sounds ridiculous to be grateful for, but the fact that we had almost the same starting point financially saved us from the pain of fighting about it. Both of us being young and at the start of our careers allowed us to build our financial state together and as equals, so there were no accusations of one of us being a gold-digger, mostly becau…

First and foremost, always put your family first. But what would you do if, only a few months before your wedding, your sister disclosed a dark, secret about your fiancé? Would you support your sister and express gratitude for her candor, or would you support your fiancé in opposition to your sister's testimony? An unhappy fiancé is the subject of the story that follows. After three years of dating, the original poster (OP) recently proposed. The idea of being married to the love of his life fi…

You're exactly where you're supposed to be

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…
