marriage

Love is a dangerous chemical. It drives people to absolute insanity. Rationality has a tendency to be tossed right out the window when you find yourself blinded by those fiercely euphoric rose-colored glasses, and willing to do pretty much everything to keep the love alive. And then oh boy, when that very love runs its natural course, things flicker out, and then the other feelings start to bubble to the surface. That's when the pettiness can really come out to play. So, it's no wonder that lawyers end up encountering some wildly petty scenarios between ex lovers that decided to call it quits. 

So, apparently there are some folks out there that define the difference of an extra $40 to be worthy of being deemed "extortionate." Clearly, this husband didn't account for the fact that the person he was giving an earful to on the phone would feel compelled to leave a reminder note about their particularly unpleasant encounter. Suffice to say, when the truth was revealed to his wife, it certainly ended up stinging him a bit. 

Unfortunately, too many of us have ended up attending weddings that featured "lovers" that definitely had a whole lot of the bad stuff boiling right underneath the surface. If you've ever attended one of those weddings, you've probably witnessed your fair share of cringeworthy interactions between the very people that were supposedly gearing up to spend the rest of their lives with one another. If you're looking for some more juicy wedding drama, check out this post about the time that a best man ended up roasting the bridezilla with a nasty toast. 

We absolutely get that the excitement and wild anticipation that can go into a pregnancy can render people a bit senseless. However, there's still got to be some kind of commitment toward upholding just a bit, a little bit of social awareness. In the case of this sister-in-law it seems that the social awareness was pretty much entirely lacking. So, she ended up being called out. Can't imagine that it was an easy conversation to have, but it also seems like it was necessary. For some more wedding drama check out some of people's craziest wedding fails over here. 

I mean, hey, breakfast sandwiches are quite tasty. Some of us find that dish that we obsessively eat as often as possible. Maybe more often than the rest of society would deem normal. To each their own though. It sounds like this guy's decision to take down a many few breakfast sandwiches didn't bode too well with his wife. The whole scene really reads like something out of a TV show. She definitely could've handled the whole situation with more care. 

Relationships are hard, and good advice can be hard to come by, especially when the world is so full of dumb and bad life pro tips to not do. These folks were asked to embody the world's worst marriage counselor and give advice that would result in irredeemably fractured relationships. So just do the opposite of what's in here and you're probably good to go. For some more playful relationship disagreements like mis-cut waffles and tangled cords, here are the annoying things that people's spouses do.

It's almost refreshing to have a wedding drama that's not centered on a bride going full bridezilla mode. Yep, this time around we have what sounds like a terribly manipulative maid of honor who failed to put anyone but herself first, when it came time to make her friend's wedding festivities both mindful and special. Honesty, good on the bride for putting her friend in check. Hopefully their friendship is solid enough that they're able to make a comeback from the situation. Check out some crazy wedding fails from people over here to keep the wedding drama train rolling onward. 

Marriage is commonly known as an emotional rollercoaster. When you commit to another human being for the rest of your life through sickness and health, you're pretty much signing up for a riveting journey of ups and downs, wins and losses, and pain and ecstasy with someone who you'll find yourself both madly in love with at times, and completely enraged by at other times. Maybe this guy's collection of things that he was able to learn from his two decades of marriage will be helpful for some folks, and convince other people to never ever give the whole marriage thing a go. 

Um, this family dynamic sounds absolutely disastrous. Like, we're talking right out of one of those painful reality shows. What kind of person has the audacity to steal their sibling's partner, marry them, and then throw a temper tantrum when their sibling doesn't want to attend the wedding? What did she expect? It sounds like someone's grown very comfortable living in their own little fantasy world. Yes, a fantasy world where she's blinded by such a thick haze of self-concerned narcissism that she's completely detached herself from her moral compass. 

Weddings undoubtedly have a striking ability to inspire all kinds of otherwise avoidable drama between people. It could be family members that never should've been brought together to be in the same room again. Or, perhaps you have a friendship that goes on to endure a meltdown of sorts over one person's inability to exercise just a bit of a filter. For some more wedding drama check out this quick AITA post about a vegan who wanted a wedding guest's vegan meal, got rejected, and then proceeded to pitch a ridiculous fit. 

Man oh man, it sounds like this guy is just a bit of a handful. Clearly, there's some stuff boiling underneath the surface in this guy's life that's manifesting in him acting a fool the way that he is. And then he's deluded himself to such an extent that he can't even understand why people don't want to play video games with him. 

Marriage brings with it a whole lot of hurdles. You've agreed to share your life with someone, and that oftentimes implies a shared bank account. If there isn't a flow, a mutual understanding between partners over how that money's going to be spend, then a whole lot of drama can end up breaking out. It sounds like this guy's wife is operating on a very different frequency for what she considers to be sound investment opportunities. So, he consulted the moral judges of Reddit's AITA community to see whether or not he'd be in the wrong for choosing to open a separate bank account if her habits don't change. 

Anyone who signs up for marriage dives into the experience knowing that it'll likely come with its fair share of meltdowns over the pettiest of matters. You spend enough time with anyone, anyone at all, and you're bound to start having an issue or two with them over something. In this case, the wife was completely fed up with her husband because he kept eating her food. She's wondering whether or not she was in the wrong for calling him out like she did.
