Money and relationships—two forces that, when combined, can turn even the simplest plans into emotional minefields. Add house deeds and inheritance into the mix, and what starts as a conversation about the future can quickly feel like a tug-of-war over balance, practicality, and trust. Nothing says ‘romantic evening’ like a heated and passionate discussion about …

Girlfriend demands boyfriend hand over social security number to run a background check on him after 1 year of dating, girlfriend gives him ridiculous ultimatum: ‘It’s just not happening’
There’s no information that’s quite as sensitive as a social security number. This is a number assigned to us at birth that basically tells the world we are a documented human being, and we are who we say we are in our day-to-day. Readers definitely (I hope) know this already, but it’s important to explain …

‘Y’all were both kind of delusional’: Man asks his fiancé to re-home her dog after he moves in with 9-year-old daughter who’s allergic, she refuses
Allergies are no joke. If it’s an environmental one, like pet hair, then any space that has or has had a pet in it can become a no-fly zone for people with severe allergies. It’s just not worth the risk of a flare-up. But what happens when you’re dating someone that has a pet? Dating …

We’re living in the age of cutting-edge technology. Millions of pieces of information are at our fingertips and our brains are in need of constant stimulation to keep us engaged and entertained.

Condescending husband refuses to watch anything but Hallmark movies with his wife because she ‘doesn’t understand’ complex movies: ‘My wife proceeded to embarrass herself’
Hallmark movies are awesome. They’re hilariously, reliably formulaic. They have stilted acting and even more stilted dialogue. They have names like «The Other Christmas Wife» or «Winter Is For Loving, and Christmas.» They’re my favorite thing to watch when I’m in a hotel room. Nothing hits like a terrible movie and a room service BLT. …

Selfish girlfriend and friends stick boyfriend with $550 dinner bill despite having no prior discussion about who would pay: ‘I didn’t let the other guests leave before paying’
Splitting the bill can be an uncomfortable affair. There’s a Portlandia sketch where a group is out for a birthday dinner, and they call in a «Fixer» type that comes in and helps them settle the bill. Who got what entree, who was drinking, how much are we tipping? Bang, boom, there ya go. It’s …

Thoughtless husband gets a fast food burger for his wife and puts it in the fridge, lashes out when wife doesn’t thank him for his ‘grand gesture’: ‘What gesture? You picked up fast food’
Fast food can be endlessly comforting. We know it’s not really nutritionally sound, but we don’t always care. Sometimes it’s about convenience, and that quick, cheap hit of salt, fat, and deliciousness on your tongue. When you’re craving it, nothing else will do. Whatever chemicals they put in a fast food burger can’t be easily …

Dishonest woman consistently asks situationship for $400 or more, expects him to pay up without question: ‘She’s scamming you’
Love, or infatuation, can sometimes shield us from reality. We put on our rose colored glasses and in the words of BoJack Horseman, «All the red flags just look like flags.» You don’t see people for who they truly are, you want to see the best in them. We think that the reason they’re not …

‘Dating apps turn us all into HR managers’: Singles bemoan having to ‘reject so many people’ on dating apps
People hate dating apps so much that it has become hack comedy to complain about them. But that won’t stop us. Dating apps feel like the default way to date, in a world where everyone is glued to their phones and so much of our social lives is conducted online. It can feel like if …

Boorish mother calls son-in-law’s anniversary gift ‘cheap,’ daughter kicks her out of the party: ‘Was it the alcohol?’
Gift-giving can be a loaded scenario. Give the wrong gift, and you’ve ruined the moment. In an episode of Seinfeld when Jerry gives Elaine $182 for her birthday, cash. The joke is that it’s a pretty thoughtless gift to give a close friend, and shows you really know nothing about them. Other things in that …
