‘He would shut off the hot water while I was in the shower’: Husband bans wife, 12 and 14-year old sons from showering more than twice a week, claims it’s for the environment

There are a lot of ways that individual people can help the environment. Recycling correctly, not buying clothes from Shein, and cutting down on using fossil fuels as much as possible are great ways to give back to the Earth, especially considering we’re right in the middle of Earth Day season. Even though it is …

Financial infidelity is one of those common things that we’ve only just started learning how to talk about.

‘I’m glad she is your ex’: Teenager punches 6 holes in bedroom wall, mom expects ex-boyfriend to fix them

There’s a stereotype about young men… that they punch holes in the wall when they get angry. I understand the impulse, sure. Sometimes a good punch is needed to get out all the excess anger. But usually a pillow or a stray plank of wood is a good option for emotional release, not the drywall …

Divorced dad of 2 ridicules younger girlfriend for farting in her sleep: ‘What do you want me to do?’

Ah, men: you can’t fart with them, and you can’t fart without them. It has been my understanding for the longest time that men think farts are funny. They love to let one rip and then hold their beloved’s head under the covers as a fun little prank moment. It has recently come to my …

Boyfriend who peaked in high school gets offended that nerdy girlfriend didn’t know who he was in high school: ‘Nobody had time to think about popular kids’

I went to one of those public high schools where the nerds were as vicious, if not more vicious, than the popular kids. They weren’t throwing tampons or pouring pig blood on each other, but they were ferociously competing against each other to be the most highly-ranked students in the school. At a school with …

‘The bride burst into tears’: 20+ Hilarious moments when wedding guests didn’t ‘hold their peace’

I haven’t been to many weddings in my day, which I kind of regret because I love spectacle. Any time that a group of people gets together in the hopes of things going well, there’s always potential for things to go wrong. There’s too much comedic tension. Like funerals, when something is funny at a …

Entitled, hungry boyfriend eats partner out of house and home: ‘He’s using you for free food’

I always feel weird about taking food from other people’s houses. I get so self-conscious about not being entitled that I always refuse everything, even if I want something. But I recently learned that it’s good manners to accept a drink, etc. from your host if they offer it to you. It makes them feel …

Boyfriend farts in his girlfriends face, can’t understand why she leaves the dinner: ‘I’m making this a bigger deal by trying to punish him’

I am part of the silent (but deadly) majority who thinks farts are funny. I was a huge South Park fan growing up, and so many of my favorite episodes included Terrance and Phillip, the fictional Canadian comedy duo who are obsessed with farting on each other. If you’ve never seen a Terrance and Phillip …

Controlling girlfriend forbids boyfriend from wearing a kilt to a wedding: ‘She needs to get over herself’

Kilts are rad. They have a long and storied history and culture, look fashionable, and let the legs breathe. What’s wrong with that? To some killjoys out there, though, kilts are apparently embarrassing for your boyfriend to wear. What are you afraid of? That he will outshine you and no one will notice your off-the-rack …
