Are we always obliged to follow our loved ones' rules?  Our most meaningful rules might appear ridiculous to somebody else, but part of the art of learning how to love is respecting what our significant others deem important, even though it sounds ludicrous to us. That’s my position anyway, but let’s see what this Redditor has to say.

32-year-old neat freak is mad about his same age fianceé not taking her shoes off inside his house: ‘Refusing to respect my rules regardless of how silly you think they may be will send me into orbit’

Sisters have a way of making us way angrier than anyone else when it comes to any random fight. A sibling is not only interacting with who you are today, a small comment that would feel harmless coming from a friend suddenly takes on a whole other dimension when it comes from family. For example, you can start to notice you always become smaller when you are talking to that specific family member, or embodying a role they used to give you in early family dynamics.

At this point, the theory that exes have a radar that alerts them of when we're doing fine should be studied. The thing that gets me the most about this Redditor's story is the timing: It's never when we're single, it's never when we are missing them, it's always RIGHT BEFORE OUR WEDDING [with somebody else].

30-year-old ex-boyfriend contacts same age ex-girlfriend through LinkedIn right before her wedding after years of silence: ‘Then things got even weirder.’

This is what happens when your boss has a questionable ‘talent’.  Very rarely do we consider that some things can be a gift to someone while at the same time being a curse to somebody else. Am I revealing too much of today’s story here? Probably, but this boss exceeded my expectations in terms of gaslighting abilities. Let's read on.

It's time to study the art of quiet negotiation.  Somebody should teach us how to get better deals at work interviews, so we don't exclusively look for them when buying unnecessary things on the internet. This story serves the point of this particular advice, and I'm sure there are plenty of other possible outcomes using the same technique, but it's definitely worth a try.
