28-year-old father of 2 asks his 22-year-old college student girlfriend to move in with him and pay half of his bills: ‘He said “we’d be a family” and that his kids would be like mine in the future’
I have one piece of advice for y’all: never move in with a partner just to cut down on bills. I know it can feel so tempting to go from paying four figures in rent to three figures, but if the relationship is not ready for that step, it will have disastrous consequences. You shouldn’t …

We all assume that people mature as they age, but that isn’t always the case. We’ve all met 50 and 60-year-olds who behave as if they’re still in junior high and don’t mature beyond that when they reach their 70s and 80s. Getting older helps many people let go of hang-ups they had in their …

35-year-old husband refuses to eat the dinner his wife made because she used an air fryer and a rice cooker: ‘I’m just saying, my mom would never. She cooked every night from scratch. You just dump things into machines and call it gourmet.’
Everyone has a different opinion on what constitutes «real cooking.» For some, a meal is not worth sniffing if it wasn’t entirely made from scratch: The tomatoes planted in your yard, the basil grown in the windowsill of your kitchen, and the chicken fresh from the farm on the property. Most of us can’t afford …

Boyfriend lets girlfriend live in his parents apartment by herself rent free, gives her an allowance that is 56% of his monthly paycheck: ‘She has no money saved, she has nothing but debt’
I’ve never understood the phenomenon of «stay-at-home girlfriends.» It’s one thing to be a stay-at-home mom who has a lot to do all day long for child rearing, but if you have no job and no kids, what are you doing all day? One might argue that cleaning and taking care of the household are …

It is exhausting living with somebody who cannot regulate their emotions. We expect kids of all ages to be able to refrain from whining and to pretend to be happy when they’re sad, but those standards are not always as high for their adult counterparts. Many adults just let whatever emotion they’re feeling take over, …
