Time to tightly close the love jar

Long-term love is all about compatibility

A little tenacity never went so far

Hey there, internet enthusiasts. If there’s one thing about family, it's that it’s not always easy. Most people in the world have kids, regardless of nationality. Having children is a normal and integral part of adulthood, and most people end up parents. It’s very rare to see a family of 4 and none of them decide to have kids, except for one. Sure, this may make that person with children feel like the black sheep of the family, but didn’t they choose it for themselves? It can be difficult to in…

What's your love language?

Your family should always come first. Having said that, limits should always exist in families to ensure that no one disturbs the peace within. An irate SIL is described in the narrative below. The original poster (OP) and his spouse had been married for a considerable amount of time.

As women, we all know our expectations for events; for our birthdays, holidays, anniversaries, you name it. We have our expectations known, and we expect our devoted men to follow through on them. Well, it’s not always the case. Unfortunately, the opposite gender doesn’t have the same emotional intelligence as us, and therefore, they run dry when it comes to fulfilling expectations. How hard is it to understand that a woman wants a nice Mother’s Day? And even if she doesn’t get it, it’s the tho…

Ever tried to pay for your coffee with lipstick?

Welcome back internet enthusiasts. Mother’s Day has come and went, but with it still brings interesting stories of people’s interpersonal nitty gritty relationships. Take the countless stories of the deadbeat husband not getting his wife the basic gift she asked for, or the one who refused to massage her feet or do something romantic. This is a little different angle. For this Reddit thread, the original poster, (OP) finds that his wife’s ex has been sending her flowers every Mother’s Day since…

All pleasure and all misery have their roots in the pursuit of money. Money might buy you an opulent, luxurious life, yet, conversely, it can leave you alone and desolate. The account below tells the story of the irate brother-in-law. The original poster's (OP) brother recently became engaged. OP's family is less affluent than that of the brother's new fiancé. Therefore, even if the couple genuinely loves one another and wants to contribute to the future they are building together, the contribu…

There are quite a few unspoken rules when it comes to speeches at weddings. They're unspoken because one would think that they are common sense, but alas, today's thread is testimony to the fact that these rules may need to be engraved on some stone slabs from a holy mountain so that some people will finally get it.
