Some people have weird things about leftovers. And listen, I get it. Sometimes the thought of re-heating and eating that mediocre chicken breast and green beans from yesterday gives me the heebie-jebbies. When things have been hanging out in the fridge too long, you can never be quite sure what they’re going to taste like, …

‘Please communicate with your wife’: Husband converts wife’s book loft into children’s play area without her knowledge, is surprised when she is upset
To paraphrase Virginia Woolf, everyone needs a room of one’s own. If at all possible, we all need spaces that are fully ours, where we can decompress, be creative, and not have to worry about someone barging in and demanding something of us. This is especially true as a new parent. It might not always …

34-year-old boyfriend remains unemployed for 2.5 years despite girlfriend’s urging, moves out when she snaps at him: ‘You dodged a bullet’
Being unemployed is no walk in the park. It can do a number on your mental well-being and self esteem, not to mention your finances. When you can’t find a job, you can feel like you have no purpose in life, that nobody wants you and you have nothing to offer. This, of course, isn’t …

Boyfriend wants to ‘fake propose’ to girlfriend in front of the Eiffel Tower, doesn’t understand why she refuses: ‘What an odd thing for him to suggest’
Everybody wants the perfect proposal photo. You want everyone to be jealous of your picturesque setting, your gorgeous outfit, and the perfect snapshot of the perfect love.

Slovenly 25-year-old moves in with sister, eats her husband’s meal prep and blasts music, wife wants to let him stay: ‘You have a bigger problem’
It’s always tough to live with a family member. You most likely did it when you were young and then moved out for a reason. It’s so much easier to maintain a healthy relationship when you don’t also have to share a bathroom or a kitchen with them. But anyone living in close quarters knows …

‘You are treating your wife like a child’: Petty husband takes away wife’s birthday party after she calls his sister a ‘leech’ for borrowing money
Lending money to family members is a dangerous game. You do it out of the kindness of your heart, or out of some sense of familial obligation, and you hope that it all works out. But it’s incredibly common that you run into some sticky wickets along the way. When money and family are mixed, …

‘Please run, it sounds like he is already trying to control you’: Shady boyfriend asks for girlfriend’s social security number 3 months into dating, hesitates to explain why
Trust is a slippery thing. You want to trust the people you love, but it takes time. Especially if you’ve been burned before, it can take a heck of a long time to rebuild your trust in others. Sometimes, this is a bad thing. You close people off from getting to really know you because …

Inconsiderate girlfriend volunteers boyfriend to help coworker move without asking him first, calls him a ‘bad person’ for refusing: ‘I have only met this person twice’
Helping someone else move is a big deal. It’s the creme de la creme of generosity and kindness. You wouldn’t expect anybody except your closest friend or a blood relative to help, and even then they probably get a pass. Because moving is terrible. It’s always more work than you think it’s going to be, …

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. …

24-year-old wife gets rid of 37-year-old husband’s book collection after he refuses to pack it up, he threatens divorce: ‘Your husband is not a book collector. He is a hoarder’
Everyone is entitled to their weird collecting habit, within reason. Some people collect stamps. Some collect Beanie Babies. Some folks collect Garfield memorabilia. Some collect fingernail clippings. Whatever your strange collection is, you’re allowed to indulge, as long as (and this is the kicker) it doesn’t interfere with anyone’s happiness. If you’re cohabitating with someone, …
