‘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’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.

‘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, …

If there are two things that don’t mix well, it’s love and money. Financial woes can be the undoing of even the strongest couples. It’s nice to help each other out, but exactly what that means can be tough to figure out, especially if you’re in a financially uneven partnership. They say opposites attract, so …
