She’s going to spend her boyfriend out of house and home. There’s a significant stigma surrounding marrying someone for money, but I believe that one can’t marry someone without first considering their financial situation. It matters much less how much someone takes home at the end of a pay period than how they manage that …

Have you ever seen the Reddit post that goes a little something like this? «I’m a 25-year-old man who recently started dating a 50-year old lady.

Paying for things in the early stages of a relationship is always tricky. It feels pretty unromantic to have to Venmo a date $16 for sushi, even if it’s technically paying for precisely what you ate. Many couples have a «I’ll get you this time, you’ll get me next time» dynamic that is usually pretty …

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 …

If you’re one of those people who fall in love with someone in three weeks, I understand. I am in denial about being one of you, and I’m trying to change my ways. A significant part of establishing a healthy relationship that can last is not expecting too much from someone during the first couple …

51-year-old boyfriend breaks up with his girlfriend after she offered to host her daughter-in-law’s 87-year-old father in her home for 3 weeks: ‘How does it look that you have another man staying at your house while you are dating me?’
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 …

33-year-old dad plans to break up with his toxic girlfriend of 3 years while his 5 and 9-year-old kids are staying with their mom for summer vacation: ‘I want my kids to live in a house that doesn’t silently revolve around managing someone else’s mood.’
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, …

‘Mothers are unique, you either have one or you don’t. Wives can be replaced’: 36-year-old dad says he prioritizes his mom 1st, kids 2nd, and wife 3rd, claims his wife is overreacting when she considers divorce over that
It’s easy to fall into fantastical thinking patterns. I recently got into the habit of letting my imagination run wild, imagining all sorts of horrible situations, including but not limited to my friend’s funerals and humiliating public rejections. I eventually had to force myself to stop engaging in this line of thinking because it was …
