It’s the perfect place to unwind, get alone time, have a romantic vacation, or spend quality time with family. That is until your husband decides to invite his mother. This brings us to the Reddit thread. This…

Though men may be physically stronger, or better at certain things, they seem to be underdeveloped with emotional intelligence, maturity, and a general sense of pragmatism. Usually these skills only develop after the guy has experienced some hard-knock life experiences with a woman teaching them everything along the way. For women, some things are just second natu…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen. Talking about a woman’s body is a controversial topic , and can easily lead to tears, yelling, or just discomfort. As women, we’ve been scrutinized for decades about our appearances , putting so much pressure on us to be beautiful, feminine, and skinny. It’s no wonder so many women develop eating disorders. When all you hear is how you’re not good enough and could be better, it gets to a person. Although talking about bodies isn’t inherently negative, there’s…

Well, you were warned.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen. You know what they say about traveling , that if you can travel with someone peacefully without drama, then you know they’re a real friend. Your friendship usually consists of meetings for coffee, lunch, or drinks. You talk, you have fun, then you go your separate ways. If you travel with the person, there’s no space for alone time or independence, and for introverts this can be particularly difficult. Though you may be put in situations you’re uncomfortable w…

Welcome back women and men of the world. As someone who’s traveled a lot in their life, and mostly alone, it can be more than daunting to be with someone else. Traveling solo definitely isn’t everyone’s cup of tea, but for those who enjoy it, it’s one of the most exonerating experiences one could have. You’re left to your own devices, you don’t have to compromise for anyone, and you meet a lot of new people when you’re traveling solo. Deciding to travel with a friend is a big decision. Your bub…

Summertime is your oyster

There’s nothing worse than finding out your partner was hiding something from you. Time and place are everything, and of course, during a romantic beach getaway, is when this woman stumbles upon her boyfriend’s hidden photos on his phone. Actually, hidden is a strong word; she says she went to his screenshots (to find the restaurant they were going to), and they were all right there. So as uncouth as it sounds, if you’re going to lie and scheme, at least know how to keep a secret. This poor wom…
