A woman took to the popular Reddit thread, Am I The A**hole, to ask if she was right to give her husband an ultimatum when it came to his new female coworker who was infatuated with him. She was sick of the way the coworker would contact her husband, "Multiple times a day at all hours of the day and night she will call and text him for help" and felt that she was crossing all kinds of boundaries. She ended the post saying, "He can either to be married to me, or married to her, but I wasn't going to be the third wheel in my own marriage. He says he does not have feelings for her and that I am overreacting to him just wanting to help a friend. I feel otherwise. AITA?" Of course, Redditers jumped to her defense, reassuring her that she was totally within her right to call her husband out on his shady behavior. Read through her dilemma below, along with the advice she received. And always, always trust your gut when it comes to this type of behavior in relationships. Boundaries exist for a reason, and a partner who can't honor those boundaries does not respect you or your relationship.

Who's ready for yet another toxic relationship posted about on the internet? Unfortunately, there's plenty of those to go around, and we're here to document it for you. In this week's drama, a wife on a Quora thread asked if she should have cooked her husband dinner at 10 pm after he called her lazy and disgusting for not doing so. Everyone who responded to her question seemed to be on her side for the most part, but what do you think of the situation? Any tips for this poor woman? Let us know in the comments.
They say it's the little things which keep love alive, not necessarily the grand gestures (although, of course, they help too). One husband is proving how true this is by drawing funny doodles on the mirror to motivate his wife for the day ahead with her difficult boss.
Imgur user Taylor, aka doctorpond, shared the images of her husband's artistry, and the internet fell in love with them. When you know you have a challenging day ahead, there's nothing like knowing you've got a supportive partner on your side who will be there when you get home. This is true couple goals!
Planning a wedding is a tremendous feat. The bigger the wedding, the more tedious decisions have to be made, and the couple has to prepare thoroughly for a bunch of different nightmare scenarios. One of the hardest parts, that you can really prepare for, is standing at the altar and wearing your heart on your sleeve as announce your love to a room full of observers. Obviously, these are your friends and family, and they want the best for you, but they are also watching closely af. So well, let's just say if you hate each other, you're probably not fooling anyone.
If you're not prepared to get your hands dirty we wouldn't recommend starting a family. Children are some of the messiest, grimiest, balls of dirt you can find. Of course, they have other redeeming factors as well, but you don't get to pick and choose whether or not to handle their 'messes.' Reddit user u/asaim46433 took to the 'Am I The A-Hole' community on Reddit to ask if they were in the wrong for 'Punishing' her husband by making him change their child's diaper. Quite the punishment if you ask us...
Some people severely lack the ability to think outside of themselves and treat others with empathy. This would definitely be a friendship red flag, but if you are (un)lucky enough to have one of these characters in your extended family, you have to either learn how to deal with it, be the bigger person, or remove yourself from the equation altogether. None of these options are favorable, but we can't let ourselves be stepped on, especially by other women.
Marriage is a total dream until your significant other is driving you so crazy that you rue the day you ever met them. Sometimes it feels like that day is every day and sometimes it doesn't, but let's be honest: marriage bliss can often feel like one big scam. So if you're married, you'll relate to these tweets which sum up the marriage journey pretty succinctly. And here are some more funny relationship tweets when you want some more.
Families are full of drama, but generally, it's not the kind of drama that went down on a Reddit "Am I the A**hole?" thread this week. The original poster told a wild talk about he used to sleep with his brother's wife regularly before they met, but the two of them didn't feel the need to tell him that they used to be friends with benefits. They ended up getting married, and only afterwards did the wife reveal that she used to sleep with his brother. Yikes. In my humble opinion, both the OP and the wife are major a**holes, but let's see what the rest of the Reddit world had to say.
Tina Turner once famously sang, "What's love got to do, got to do with it"? Well, everything. The thing about love is that we can't live without it, but boy, oh boy, can it drive us up the wall. Whether you're happily single or pining for someone you can't have, or whether you're in a messy situationship or happily married, love affects us all. So here are this week's funniest relationship tweets, which bring some humor and a positive spin on that tricky little thing that we call love—all, from the big wide world of Twitter.
"For better, for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health." When you say it to your partner at the altar in front of all your loved ones, hopefully, you mean it. It's an easy thing to say in theory, but when life throws challenging scenarios at you, that's when the strength of your vows gets tested. One guy found this out the hard way when his wife had to choose between accompanying him to surgery or attending her best friend's wedding, which both fell on the same day. He posted to Reddit's Am I The A—hole, asking if he was in the wrong for expecting her to choose him over her friend. His wife argued that not attending the wedding could jeopardize her friendship, but he argued that it was a sacrifice she'd have to make because his health came first. What do you think?
A big part of marriage, and relationships in general, is being able to make compromises for the other person. The mutual love and respect you have for your partner is the glue that holds you together and helps you get through those tricky give-and-take moments in your relationship. But sometimes things aren't so straight forward, and it's not clear who should give and who should take. One woman posted on the popular AITA thread on Reddit, wondering if she was the a**hole for asking her husband to give up his dream job because it would risk her career. At first glance, you might think so, because whose job comes first; hers or his? But as she explains the situation, it becomes apparent that he was prepared to sabotage her very high-paying niche career for a job that paid less than half her salary, and that he applied for behind her back. Everyone jumped to her defense, explaining very clearly how she is not the a**hole and that she should proceed with divorce proceedings, as advised by her company. Read through her post and the comments below and decide for yourself who is in the wrong. Although it's pretty clear what the answer is.
Twitter is great for many things, but one of our favorite uses is seeing people's funny relationship tweets. Because why pay for therapy when you can tweet about your relationship woes and get the sympathy of the entire Twitter population? Each week we bring you the funniest relationship tweets we found over the past seven days, so you can read them and hopefully feel better about any trials or tribulations you might be having in your relationship. After all, common ground is what brings us all together, even if it is our relationship struggles. Right?
Anyone who has given birth will agree that labor is a pretty much all-consuming activity. All you can—and should be—focusing on is getting yourself to the hospital as quickly as possible. It would help if you didn't have to worry about tracking down your partner while doing so, who had made themselves as unavailable as possible. It sounds like an absurd scenario, right? Well, one woman who posted on Reddit's Am I The A-hole faced this very scenario when she couldn't reach her husband when she was in labor. After failing to respond to her texts and calls, she called a friend to take her to the hospital. Her husband, who only looked at his phone at the end of the workday, was p*ssed at her for not going via his office to get him, so that he could be there for the birth of their daughter. Of course, the internet jumped to the woman's defense, calling her husband out for being a massive a-hole.
In my humble opinion, one of the worst trends that social media has perpetuated in the last few years is the gender reveal party. Never has there been a worse excuse to celebrate something that doesn't need celebrating. Parents, trust me, aside from you and possibly your parents, no one else is as invested in the sex of your baby. Let me say that again for the people at the back: NO ONE CARES! People have taken the trend way too far, spending insane amounts of money revealing the gender of their baby, and the madness needs to stop. One father, who also clearly feels the same, wrote to Reddit's Am I The Asshole after sabotaging his wife's $4K elaborate gender reveal plan for their unborn (spoiler alert) son. He posted the gender on Facebook instead, which left his wife understandably gutted. People commented with mixed reviews, some calling him an asshole for sabotaging his wife's announcement in the way he did, but others congratulated him for putting a stop to spending so much money on the gender reveal. What do you think? Asshole or not?
Having not put on a full face of makeup for the best part of a year, I jump at any opportunity to get dressed up. Or at least to feel like I've put some effort into my appearance, because how long can a girl wear sweats and have her hair in a messy bun before she goes insane? So I fully support any woman who puts on makeup to feel good about the way she looks, even if it's to stay at home. Unfortunately, not everyone agrees with me. One guy posted on Reddit's Am I The A—hole, explaining that his wife, who received some makeup as a gift, has started experimenting with different looks, adding that "she's really talented with it, and she's having a lot of fun." So far, so good.
That is until his brother "decided she must be posting pictures or sending pics to some dude or multiple dudes," aka, she must be cheating because there's no other explanation as to why she'd suddenly be wearing makeup. Of course, women only wear makeup to cheat on their partners, right? The woman's husband called his brother an "insecure, testicle grabbing, chauvinist man-baby," which obviously didn't go down well. Read the whole story below, and see how quickly Redditor's jump to her defense, commend the OP for his healthy attitude towards the entire thing and call out the toxic brother-in-law for projecting all hit sh*t onto his brother's wife.
