She deserves to feel safe in her own home. Not everybody is a homebody by nature. Many people prefer to be in and out of the house as quickly as possible, only going home to sleep and perhaps eat breakfast. I’ve been like that for most of my adult life, and it’s not because I …

‘It’s now Wednesday. She still has my car’: Golden Child says she’ll return her sister’s car after 1 hour, ends up bogarting it for 4 days without permission before coercing the family to side with her

60-year-old sister gets angry that her 73-year-old brother left his estate to his 71-year-old ‘roommate’ after he passed away: ‘They lived together for 45 years.’
Could she not put two and two together? We’ve all heard stories of historical figures or family members who lived with their «best friend» of the same gender for decades and decades throughout the 19th or 20th century. I’m not saying every single one of these best friend life-partnerships are secretly gay couples. Still, a …
