Some errors, like forgetting a name, missing an appointment, or saying the wrong word, may be read as expressions of a wish or a conflict that has not yet surfaced through words. Seeing it through that lens, the fact that the girlfriend from this story missed the flight might not be ‘just carelessness’; instead, it can signify a much deeper truth.

24-year-old guy considers dumping his 21-year-old girlfriend because she missed a $650 flight to visit him that he paid for: 'The day before the flight, we barely even talked, and she just seemed so nonchalant about it'

As we get older, our roles in relation to our parents often become reversed. In short, we become the parents, and they become the children. This doesn’t always happen, but when it does, it becomes a source of profound distress. In the case of the daughter who shared her experience with this, I think it’s more of a ‘the dad never grew up to begin with’ situation, but we’ll see.

Sometimes parents perceive one child as more competent, intelligent, or strong; as a result, the other children under the same roof are favoured and protected, while the other is expected to endure and handle everything as an adult would. In the story below, I think the brother who tells it was put in this position because he's the oldest and witnessed the family's hardest times.

38-year-old parents demand their least favourite child defend them and his spoiled siblings against the rest of the family: 'They have become such spoiled brats and my parents act surprised when people call it out'

The ‘evil stepmother’ trope is one of the oldest family archetypes in literature and mythology. It’s present in Cinderella, Snow white, and countless other folktales. I’m prone to thinking clichés exist for a reason, and I’m sure modern psychology eventually started paying attention to why this figure appears so consistently.

Marriage vows typically contain a phrase that refers back to the “what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine” idea; the way we think about that union has been ingrained in us for centuries. However, when one thinks of that, one thinks of shared belongings, goods, food, and shelter, not about claiming authorship for everything our partner has done before we were even in the picture.

35-year-old man insists on sharing authorship of a book he didn't write with his 33-year-old girlfriend: 'Were not even on the same lease yet and he wants to be on the spine of a book that took me four and a half years to write'
