Finding your forever partner is a beautiful milestone, but the journey doesn’t stop there.

'I need him there'

When someone gets married, they should only be surrounded by the people who make them happy, and that should be a non-negotiable rule – If one does not make you feel good, one is not invited to your wedding. Even if that means that certain family members are going to be excluded from your wedding day, I believe it is a small sacrifice to make for your special day. That being said, if you do end up uninviting people from your wedding, you cannot expect them to buy you a wedding gift. No invite –…

Bickering is a love language too

Your primary focus should always be your family.

Even though they broke things off mutually and respectfully, it still must sting when your ex-hu…

After a couple decides to tie the knot and gets married, the next step is usually kids. But how do couples know they are ready to have children? It seems like such a scary decision, and it's so life-changing, that you have to be 100% sure you are ready for it, but is anyone ever 100% sure about anything? My husband and I have been married for almost 4 years, and only now we are starting to feel slightly ready to discuss kids, which means we are having deep conversations about our plans for the…

This story, above all the drama, raises a tough dilemma that we want to pose for you all. The scenario is as follows – Husband finds out that the child he has been raising with his wife is not biologically his, despite her insisting that he is the father. Do you think he would have preferred to know that his wife cheated on him, or that their child was actually switched at birth in the hospital, and their ‘real’ kid is somewhere out in the world? Personally, I don't know which of these options…

There are moments when the frenzy of everyday life causes you to lose sight of what truly matters. It may be your spouse, your children, your career, or your pals. But when someone points out a clear oversight on your part, do you take responsibility for it or do you try to pin it on stress from your busy life? The story below tells the story of the frustrated husband. As mentioned in the initial post , the original poster (OP) received an invitation to accompany his niece down the aisle on her…

As much as I get along with my mother-in-law, and I honestly do get along with her, I will never agree to have her living in my home. It is simply a recipe for disaster, both for the relationship between the two women and for the relationship of the couple themselves. This is why it is actually not that surprising that the woman in this Reddit story has reached a breaking point because of her MIL (mother-in-law). For some reason, MIL has started living with OP (original poster), her husband, an…

Welcome back internet aficionados. It’s not always easy to manage money when you’re married. Shared finances means that your money isn’t fully yours, and that you’re always playing a balancing act between financial, as well as emotional compromises. When you start lending money things get really sticky, and even dramatic to the point where friendships and family relations are split. This particular Reddit piece follows a couple and their finances. They’ve been putting thousands of dollars into…

Your priorities should be centered around your family. In addition to the individuals you are biologically related to, your family may also include your close friends and the families you marry into when tying the knot. Having said that, what would you do if your partner abandoned you after publicly and repeatedly displaying disrespect towards you? The story below is an account of a frustrated husband. The original poster (OP) moved across the state recently to accommodate her wife's new job. T…

He's a bit of a numskull, but you love him all the same

It can be quite a dramatic statement to claim that a proposal can be the downfall of a relationship, but I can think of quite a few examples to shed some light on a statement like this. One example is if the couple never discussed marriage before, and then one of them decides to propose as a surprise, then no, they should not be surprised if they are being told 'no'. Another example, coincidently the topic of this Reddit story, is when the boyfriend proposes to his girlfriend using the ring she…
