‘He’s not turned out to be a good person’: Concerned mom encourages son’s girlfriend to break up with him, faces his wrath

Once you get past a certain age, it becomes pretty easy to recognize when two people in a relationship are badly suited to one another. They weren’t lying when they said love is blind, and some won’t even listen when they get a necessary wake-up call. However, this isn’t always the case. If somebody’s partner …

‘I’ve always wondered why it’s necessary’: Woman attracts controversy for grilling boyfriend about when he will propose

Every unmarried heterosexual couple of a certain age faces the same question when they have been together for a couple of years; a pushy family member or a nosy friend inevitably wants to know «When are you getting married?». Never mind your personal beliefs on tying the knot, or what stage your relationship is currently …

‘You will go bankrupt paying the water bill’: Water-wasting boyfriend showers for 2 hours, loses girlfriend in the process

I love a good, long shower. Sometimes it’s the only thing that can heal me after a difficult day. I just stand there, not even cleaning myself, but just letting the water run down and listening to music. The water feels like it washes away all the worries and stress of whatever I’m going through. …

‘He is getting 14-15 hours of sleep every day’: Lazy boyfriend refuses to do more chores because of daily 4 hour nap

I have never been a napper. Well, I guess I was a napper because I had to be one when I was a literal toddler, but I have not gotten back into the practice anytime after kindergarten. I find that it’s such a spectacular waste of time. We only have so many waking hours daily, …

‘This guy is a huge financial liability’: Reckless boyfriend spends $42k on new car while asking girlfriend for help with rent

I’ve never been a car girl. I see cars as a means to an end, and I don’t get excited about what they look like or how much money they cost. The few times I’ve gotten into a Tesla (they’ve been Ubers) I’m always confused about where the door handle is and make a fool …

‘I thought this was normal too, but I’m single now’: Woman’s boyfriend of 2 years catches heat for watching football on their restaurant date

One of the biggest challenges of a committed romantic relationship is keeping the spark alive. The not-so-happily coupled up love nothing more than taunting fresh lovebirds about when the so-called honeymoon period is going to end. While there is a debate to be had about the validity of that concept, there is no denying that …

‘I’m not paying for your mistake’: Woman gets a speeding ticket while driving her boyfriend’s car, then demands he takes the blame

This might be an unpopular opinion, but I don’t think 16-year-olds should be permitted to drive yet, and I definitely don’t think their parents should buy them a car when they first pass their driver’s test. Driving is a huge responsibility, and when people are driving, they are not only responsible for their own lives, …

‘So NOW he wants to benefit from your hobby?’: Food influencer’s hater boyfriend wants in on her free food but won’t stop hating

Influencers. Whether you like them or not, they’re here to stay, and they’re all around us. I feel like everyone is an influencer nowadays. I’m surrounded by niche internet micro-celebrities and I hate it. Everyone has a brand, everyone has a take, and everyone is taking pictures all the time.  But, I would never discourage …

‘I’m too busy trying to be an adult’: Mom kicks teenage son out for her boyfriend, asks son to move back in to take care of her after months of him being homeless

I’ve never understood parents who kick their children out the second they turn 18 or as soon as they graduate high school. If a kid really wants to spread their wings immediately after leaving school, then good for them, but I wouldn’t say that most teenagers, even adult teenagers, are 100% to take on the …

‘He doesn’t even follow my insta’: Food influencer invites friend to restaurant opening, killjoy boyfriend protests she is excluding him

I’m no expert in romantic relationships, but I feel like a pretty important part of them is tolerance. I don’t mean this in the sense of putting up with bad behavior, but rather that it is vital to show support and appreciation for a partner’s interests (so long as they aren’t negatively impacting you). Sure, …
