Usually, finding out someone has feelings for you is supposed to be a nice feeling. Even if you do not feel the same, it can be pleasant to know that you caught someone’s attention this way, and that they think you are someone worth their love and affection. Then, there are those edge cases, when …

Brother-in-law insists that husband moves out of his wife’s family home that he owns so her aging mother can live there: ‘They don’t care if my wife stays or moves with me, they just want ME gone’

Stepdad refuses to buy 16-year-old stepdaughter $300 shoes and fast food 3 times a week, insists she gets a job to pay for it herself: ‘Now my wife and my stepdaughter are upset at me’
In my opinion, a child, tween, or teenager should be a little apprehensive when asking their parent to buy them something expensive. I know I didn’t ask my parents to buy me material things that cost over $100 frequently when I was a kid, even though I knew buying them wouldn’t bankrupt us. It’s one …

Insulting the groom is a rite of passage in a lot of family weddings, but for this touchy groom, one poorly timed joke was enough to kick his future brother-in-law off the guest list. Perhaps it’s a spicy take on this particular family scenario, but to me, it seems like this was blown out of …
