I have no idea why this is so common; I’ve heard and watched so many related stories. Mothers-in-law are, not for nothing, represented in so many folk tales like this. They act very jealous with their sons; they sabotage relationships; they always present themselves as ‘the one who knows best’, and every time a husband is on their side, you are sure to lose.

Bride-to-be specifically asks her wedding guests to wear any colour but white and green for the ceremony and mother-in-law buys two white and green dresses: '“It’s like champagne” she said as she looked it up, and I just knewwww!!'

If you can't explain it to a Victorian child, it doesn't count I'm amazed by the quantity of stories that exist today that fifteen years ago would've been unthinkable, or at least absolutely dystopian. I remember watching the movie Her, and while I was crying, I was like, c'mon, this can't happen to anyone.

Oftentimes, we normalize the way we naturally act around friendship and never stop to think: Am I being a good enough friend? This is precisely what this Redditor started to do after she noticed most of her friends cancelled on her at the last minute. My take on the topic is that her friends doing that doesn’t necessarily mean she is a bad friend; it might even mean she has bad friends lol.

28-year-old woman wonders how can she become a better friend after all her friends cancel on her last minute and thinking her being a bad friend is causing that: 'I feel like I should be a better friend so people would actually want to spend time with me'

I never thought this could be possible. Part of the reason ‘nice guys’ existed as a cultural phenomenon was that they were unable to see what they were doing wrong. It was always all about them and how, apparently, everyone disrespected them. I’m starting to believe in the power of cinema now, or maybe I already did; it has proven itself to be one of the most effective means by which someone can spread a message.

23-year-old man watches a film and realizes he is the classic "nice guy" type by identifying with the protagonist: 'As I watched Obsession, I found myself relating to bear on a semi-concerning level'
