This was anything but a clean break. Obviously, breaking up with a long-term partner can be complicated, whether it's dealing with the concrete logistics of moving out or the emotional adjustments of being single again. Even when it seems like the breakup was mutually agreed upon for both parties, it's quite possible that deep down, one person wanted this far more than the other, as was the case with this Redditor and his now ex-girlfriend. His ex made it crystal clear following their breakup t…

Romance is still alive. Just ask this couple, who show their love for each other through little treats! Love is all about the little things, after all. It's about remembering your partner's favorite snack at the grocery store, or surprising them with a special date night, or putting on their favorite music when they get home from work to cheer them up. There are a million tiny ways to say “I love you.” But not everyone has a relationship that's so special: a lot of folks will settle for the bar…

Everyone responds differently to breakups. Some people burst into tears and others immediately put up walls and bottle everything up so as not to give their now-former partner the satisfaction of having made them cry. Obviously, bottling everything up is not necessarily the healthy option in these scenarios, but let's give the folks who opt to take this route a break. After all, they have just been dumped. Here, we have a 28-year-old woman who felt the breakup coming in her gut. She was engaged…

It's hard to imagine intervening in your spouse's workplace drama, even to vouch for them, but especially to side against them. There are certain lines that should not be crossed when it comes to your professional and personal lives. Muddying the waters between the two is never a good idea. This is doubly—no, triply true when it comes to your spouse's workplace, outside of being an agreeable plus one at workplace holiday parties and functions, you should never have anything to do with their wor…

This woman was apparently blindsided when she prepared dinner for herself and her boyfriend, only for him to smirk when he tasted the meal and tell her that he had been “taking notes” and prepared something for her, too.

It remains a fact that if you actually cared for the person you were dating and held in your hand the chance to do something that would make them immeasurably happy—and you'd be a certain kind of evil for not doing it at the chance to pursue an unethical profit, especially when the way you're choosing to make that profit is derided by the masses. Ticket scalping is just one of those things that offer no value, allowing the entitled and uncaring a way to turn a profit and personal gain off a ter…

This traveler is coming to the realization that her relationship with her BF might not be on the up and up. Sometimes it takes a particularly honest person to set you on the right path. It can be a close friend, a parent, or a therapist. But for some people the moment they see the truth can be through a ton of strangers on the internet all telling you what's right in front of your eyes. Next, this person is “charging my 16-year-old nephew rent” by taking 10% of his salary, which quickly ignited…

Breaking up is hard to do… Just ask these people who were dumped in some awkward and cringeworthy ways, and lived to tell the tale. Not every relationship is meant to last forever. Some romances reach their peak within a few months, and then it's time to find someone else to date who's more suited to you. But you've already invested so much time and energy into this person that you don't want to hurt their feelings. You might think it's too hurtful to tell them you don't think you're a match an…

"There’s petty, there’s scorched earth… And then there’s this. Bravo."

Most of us probably have that item of clothing that we wear whenever we can. When we're wearing it, we feel good, we look good, and most importantly, we are comfortable. As we get older, comfort takes priority, and looking smart is just an added bonus. Of course, if your favorite item of clothing is your Crocs, you're not ever going to look smart, but more power to you because at least you'll look out of place in a nice restaurant in unparalleled comfort. Whether it was picking apples or fancy…

Just because he makes a 6-figure salary, doesn't mean your FRIENDS get a free dinner...

We all get a little weird and crazy about our pets; that's part of what you sign up for when you devote a significant portion of your time, energy, and financial resources to a fluffy little ball of chaos living with you in your home. I'd argue that, in fact, the entire concept is a little bit crazy, and if you weren't already when you decided to get a furry friend, I promise you that you will soon be driven so. Still, no matter how much we consider our pets members of our families, even the mo…

"Beggars can't be choosers"

Who doesn't love a little drama at the local church's annual Labor Day BBQ event? This Redditor is in the midst of an ongoing divorce with his wife after she cheated on him four times, one of which was a more serious emotional affair with her husband's married close friend. Since the separation, the Original Poster (OP) had been attending a different church and started dating someone new. Still, many of his close friends were still members of his previous church, where his wife was still very m…

Learning to cook is a challenge that all adults must eventually face. And since we can't just eat microwave mac n' cheese for every meal for the rest of our lives, most young folks branch out to slightly more challenging dishes, one baby step at a time–with the most logical next step being the simple (yet delicious) frozen pizza dinner.
