Your boss asks you to do something extra, and your insides immediately curl up as you internally scream no, no, no! Why me? Except that in this case, the employee was more than happy to do extra work for his boss… What was this big ask? It was collecting all the boss's ex-wife's belongings from his home and sorting them into boxes. No, you did not just enter a strange portal in which you set foot in an even stranger universe where you get involved with your boss's personal life… Yes, this is re…

Can you imagine needing to scratch your shopping itch so badly that you had to dip into your child's college fund? It doesn't get much more desperate than that, not to mention risky. I mean, if you're willing to go there, you're willing to sacrifice your future relationship with your kid, all for a pair of shoes you'll probably wear twice or three times a year. Thankfully, this shocking revelation and the difficult consequences for the family at the center of it all did not stop the daughter fr…

What do you think about this situation? So, a married couple is living together and expecting a baby together. Her husband was previously married with kids until he divorced his ex-wife after she cheated on him. The husband let his ex and kids stay in their fully paid-off home, and he moved out. Fast forward a bit, and the ex loses the house and is left with no money (we're still a little confused about how that happened). She's now in an apartment. The OP's husband wants to buy her another hou…

No one ever said there's no more drama after you get engaged. These folks know that fact all too well. They shared their stories of how their engagements fell apart not long before their wedding ceremonies via this r/AskReddit thread, and let's just that these stories are cringe and bleak. Most people probably assume that the root cause of these breakups is adultery, and you wouldn't be entirely wrong there. Cheating comes up a lot on this list, but it's the ridiculous ways in which adultery wa…

People are getting candid online about why their relationships are falling apart. No, the answer is not because Mercury is in retrograde, although if you haven't noticed, there have been an unusually high number of breakups and divorces this year among public figures and celebrities. If we look closer than astrology, which is not exactly my preferred method of analysis, there seems to be a disconnect among partnerships about how to even be in a partnership anymore. Part of that is because of th…

Trying to get back together after you've burned a bridge is a lost cause. It's kind of a Sisyphean task and a pointless one at that. If your relationship crashed and burned, you must be in an even worse place if you're trying to get back together. There's no way you could be well-adjusted. If you were, you would have recognized that the damage is done and that it's just better for everyone involved if you walk away and stay away. Some of us, however, are not this smart. When I was in my early t…

There are some wedding ceremonies you'll never forget for all the wrong reasons. As fall wedding season commences, let's take a trip down memory lane and recall those ceremonies that completely fell apart. Hopefully, the ceremonies that come to mind do not include your own. Personally speaking, I will have been a part of six wedding parties before the end of the year. That's right. Six. If I don't get some kind of a medal at the end of this, I will likely be the cause of one of these dramatic c…

Cheating on your partner is a serious offense to most, but these people took it in stride.

Sure, it's important to have standards, but some of you need to chill out. There's a fine line when it comes to dating between having high standards for the purposes of self-empowerment and having high standards because what you're looking for is so specific that your mystery partner simply may not be human. Knowing your worth and knowing not to compromise on certain factors is an essential part of your growth as a single adult. It's often part of what dating in your twenties is all about. Howe…

Everyone has made an unfortunate money-related decision at some point in their lives. For some folks, it could be as small as buying a ridiculously overpriced sandwich. For others, it could be as big as a messy divorce. People don't always love to admit when they've spent an exorbitant amount of money on something. It's much easier to live in denial and pretend like it was all worth it. However, these brave souls decided to own up to their expensive mistakes on the Internet. Their stories were…

Apparently, revenge is a dish best served cold, raw, and wrapped in rice. This woman was taking a week-long sushi cooking class and neglected to eat what she made at the end of the day, which made some of her classmates curious. When they asked why she hadn't eaten her sushi (and probably wanted to eat some of it themselves), they were not prepared for this lady's story. The Redditor recounted how this woman never enjoyed sushi and was merely taking the course because her husband is obsessed wi…

There are many justifiable reasons to break up with someone: lying, cheating, manipulation, etc. Much to the chagrin of some of you folks, breaking up with someone because they're a bad texter is not exactly the same thing. The same goes for being woken up from a nap or not liking that they're a Julia Roberts fan. We love the concept of having high standards in theory. Of course, settling for just anyone will only lead to disaster. However, to that end, if you spend the entire time that you're…

Sometimes, things don't work out for bizarre reasons.

This man's wife got sued and his reasons for resenting her are beyond valid.

Imagine learning that the story of how you met your partner was far from the truth. This dude had been telling his friends and family that he met his then wife seven years ago and knew her as the best friend of his little brother. Little did he know, however, that his wife knew exactly who her husband was when they first met. In fact, she knew who he was over two whole years prior to that "fateful" moment. Perhaps fateful is the wrong word, as it was a highly orchestrated and calculated meet cu…

Divorce is nasty business. They say that all is fair in love and war, but divorce is a combination of both, so does that double the amount foul play each side is entitled to? Absolutely. In this case, OP was in the midst of a dreadful divorce– as if dealing with his ex wife and her new lover wasn't enough, he found himself in a property predicament after she moved out.
