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 …

Spoiled wife freaks out after husband refuses to pay for weekly housekeeper: ‘She has always had a housekeeper from a young age’

There are so many people out there who do not know how to take care of themselves. I never claimed to be the cleanest person in the world, but at least I can ensure my apartment is tidy without someone else doing the work for me. When I went to college, I couldn’t tell you …

When you’re in a relationship, sharing finances can spell trouble. Money remains one of the top reasons that couples fight with each other.

‘You will go bankrupt paying the water bill’: Water-wasting boyfriend showers for 2 hours, loses girlfriend in the process

I love a good, long shower. Sometimes it’s the only thing that can heal me after a difficult day. I just stand there, not even cleaning myself, but just letting the water run down and listening to music. The water feels like it washes away all the worries and stress of whatever I’m going through. …

‘Definitely got a lot of explaining to do’: Resentful wife is suspicious of husband’s Valentine’s gift to sister-in-law

Giving a gift can be a beautiful way to show someone how much they mean to you. It can also be an unwitting flashpoint for relationship drama. When you’re dating someone, gifts are tricky.

‘I cannot bring children into a world like this’: Couple of 8 years breaks up because they never discussed whether they wanted kids

Asking the person you’re dating whether they want kids can be daunting, especially if you’re both super young.

‘Anyone saying that does not have real friends irl’: Twitter users decry the overuse ‘therapy-speak’ in real-life friendships

One of the hardest parts of being in an intimate relationship with someone is setting boundaries. Many of us hold onto the belief that being close to someone means giving every piece of yourself to them, being there for them all the time, and dropping everything when they need something. And while there is something …

‘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. Driving is a huge responsibility, and when people are driving, they are not only responsible for their own lives, …
