Let’s face it, some people are looking to take advantage of others to get their needs met without reciprocating. The dynamic appears perfect to them as long as nobody dares to point it out or ask for something in return. If that happens, they’ll use any strategy to return to the statu

30-year-old woman expects her 30-year-old male best friend to do every romantic relationship activity with her without actually being in a relationship, so he refuses: 'Well she is now inconsolable, saying I am punishing her for not loving me'

Some people are treating their thirties like they were their fifties; I really don’t get it. I’m not against an early night; I never was and never will be, but is it really that we’re more tired, or have we gotten more proactive in rejecting plans we never actually wanted to do in the first place? As I get older, I haven’t necessarily no

Woman reaches 30 and notices a shift in the way her long-time friends act towards friendships in general: ‘In a years time you won’t miss not being in bed by a certain time but have memories and pictures from a night out with your mates!’

I understand people expect useful gifts at their bridal showers, but that can’t be an excuse to shake down friends for cash we know they don’t have. My point is that we shouldn’t shake anyone for gifts or cash, even if the people who are supposed to be making the gifts can afford it. A gift is always supposed t

Bride calls friend immediately after wedding party to say her gift was inferior and she expected more: ‘I'm unemployed, and she's a successful business owner’

Marrying the right person doesn’t feel like the movies told us it would feel, and that’s ok. One has to work very hard not to get caught up in the what-ifs, because they are a trap. She could’ve continued with that other relationship, for example, and maybe she would’ve wasted her time with something that felt so rom

‘I did have a romcom romance in my 20s. We met at an airport when I nearly walked off with his charger while waiting for my connecting flight’: Woman started wondering about the life that never happened after marrying her now husband

The shift from real life to virtual life has already happened I don’t think that, at any point in history, people have incorporated so many marketing concepts into their own lives as they do now. Marketing used to be something companies used to sell their products more effectively, to generate desire, or to project an image. With social media nowadays, people have got

Bridezilla shuts down every conversation that’s not about the newlywed during her wedding for not being “on brand”: ‘You'll have plenty of time to talk about holidays later today is about us’

Some of us fantasize about something like this happening to us so we can get revenge without planning. We have to be really intelligent to be presented with the chance and be quick enough to see it and take it. I’ve read countless stories about exes who benefited from their partners' kindness only to resent i

31-year-old man accidentally sends $8.400 to ex-girlfriend, and she refuses to transfer the money back immediately, making him miss the closing date and lose a condo: ‘I’m following my bank’s instructions’

I can’t believe people seriously think about relationships this way. I understand you don’t want to be someone’s partner, but to be so self-centered as to ‘demote’ someone from partner to lover and expect them not to get offended is insane. I can’t say I’m surprised because this has happened to most of my friend

40-year-old Man ‘demotes’ woman from ‘girlfriend status’ to ‘lover status’, and she is left wondering what to do: ‘I currently can’t find the right words. I didn’t fully know what I was hoping for - but what ever it was it - it’s not realistic now’

We’ve all been there, fantasising about our crush for months, even for years, until we finally meet them and the fantasy comes crumbling down. In a sense, it’s better that it goes that way; idealizing someone so much can’t be good; no good thing can come from pedestalizing somebody; it naturally leaves

28-year-old woman finally goes on a date with her gym crush only to be disillusioned about what happened at it: ‘He finished with, “I am better than them anyway, I don’t care.” What?’

One should feel free to consider whether a partner’s attitude is something we can tolerate. No attitude is off limits once we’ve taken the whole picture into consideration. But having read too many stories like these, I think we are starting to have really unachievable standards towards our relationships. This could b

Woman wonders if it was wrong to tell her problematic best friend that she is a pick-me and an attention seeker: ‘She hated I complimented someone other than her’

I guess since the internet started, but it’s nonetheless interesting to watch. People would much rather tell their deepest secrets to a stranger online than to a friend, a therapist, or whomever they’re having an issue with. There is just something about telling secrets to a stranger, right? And that something is the lac

48-year-old man says he has grown resentful of his 47-year-old stay-at-home wife over the years: 'I’ve tried to ask my wife if we can go on a date, and she says she’d like that but then her schedule is never free’

People react to not having money in the most random ways. Sometimes it’s easier to have a fight with someone than for them to admit they don’t want to pay you back because it’s too much money for them, and not because of some rationalization about a cat’s health, lol. Either way, when someone pushes back t

21-year-old woman drives her friend’s pet to a vet appointment at 4am, pays for it, and her friend says she isn’t going to pay her back: ‘ She thinks we should split the bill because I made a financial decision on his medicine that she didn’t agree to’

Honestly, I would never miss something like this. First of all, the fact that this therapist is a friend of the family is extremely weird; I don’t even know if it’s ethical. Second, wouldn’t you want to know what the vibe is and stir the pot a bit? I understand this is a very strange way of being the center of attention, and it’

Sometimes we’re so caught up in a relationship that we start questioning the unquestionable. Some things, looked at from afar, seem ridiculous. Of course somebody can prioritize love and family over education, but getting a scholarship to a prestigious university means one, in one way or another, worked for it, and

‘I worry I’m really going to regret it’: Student gets offered a scholarship to Harvard, but girlfriend states it threatens their relationship so he considers missing his opportunity

I don’t think this revenge went as well as this Redditor thinks it did, but as I always say: The revenge is for the avenger’s pleasure, nothing more. We should always remember to keep it silly so we don’t hurt anybody. Either way, this avenger reestablished the balance of the universe by doing this, and we’re all v
