marriage

Honestly, it seems like this guy's fiancé is having a reaction that's blown way out of proportion. Like, the dude went out of his way to squirrel away upwards of $20K to be able to put the money down on a stunning diamond ring, and then you have the audacity to continually pester him over the fact that you wanted a natural stone vs. a lab grown. Plus, his reasoning for going with the lab grown diamond is completely morally sound. Hopefully they're able to work this one out. 

We're not sure what compels someone to insist on wearing a white dress to a wedding that they're attending as a guest. It oftentimes reads like a blatant disregard for the actual bride's big day. Honestly, good on the husband in this scenario for shutting his wife down when it came to the reckless white dress idea. Naturally, someone who is already lost is going to fall into the defensive when they're called out for their insensitive behavior. 

It is not your day, mom. One of the maid of honor's many responsibilities is to ensure that the bridezilla antics are kept to a pleasant minimum. That most definitely includes mom showing up with a white dress, which is exactly what you're not supposed to do on the big wedding day. Never take that shine away from the bride on her big day. 

Bring a new little human being into this world is easily one of the most profound and difficult experiences that someone can experience in their lives. With the experience of raising a baby comes regular, delirious phases of pure sleep deprivation, and overwhelming exhaustion. Of course, all the struggles and pain can be offset by those humbling moments of beauty that a parent can witness as they watch their baby familiarize itself with this strange world. But, with all that being said, the parenting process can get to some folks more than others. And some people like to vent on places like social media to destress themselves. It sounds like this dad's decision to do that social media venting wasn't exactly met with approval. 

Honestly, it's probably best to do what you can to steer clear of those revealing talks about the state of your personal finances around the dinner table. Especially whenever there might be some alcohol involved. There are just certain subjects that have a tendency to set people on edge. In this scenario, we have a couple who ends up being at odds over how they present the state of their financials to the rest of the world. The wife wants to paint a BS picture of them being broke, while the husband is more concerned with people knowing that they're in fact millionaires. Maybe just take a break from sharing all that information, and focus on something else. 

It sounds like this guy's coworker was on some kind of wildly inappropriate mission to stir things up in his marriage, in a way that would create conflict between him and his wife. Especially considering the fact that his coworker had the audacity to continue cracking the "work wife" jokes along with other even more inappropriate jokes. It seems like the only viable option was to kick her out of the baby shower. 

Um, the fact that this guy's wife told his coworker to basically back off, and said coworker continued to bring meals after that, makes this a very unsettling situation, indeed. Not even unsettling as much as it's just plain old inappropriate. If anything, it seems like something far more extramarital could be afoot in this unfortunate "love triangle."

The internet stood in judgement of this intriguing case, wherein an overzealous wife of an employee vastly overestimated her powers. Managerial duties don't transfer via osmosis, but she sure felt like she had the authority to get free meals for her friends and fire a waitress who got in her way. Sometimes people's partners have a hard time with reality, like this Karen military wife who demanded salutes or this Lying brother who covered up the fact his wife was the breadwinner.

Hm, just a little bit of a gut feeling here, but it feels like there was a definite reason that the bride's mom wasn't told about the surprise proposal at play. Seems like she very well might've done something to mess up the whole operation, because she sounds like she's just a little consumed by her own selfish concerns. It's not often that you witness someone stage a whole fit about their kid's proposal because they weren't made aware of it, but here we are. Perhaps, take a deep breath, mom. 

Man oh man, nothing like some snacks in the household to start up a whole family drama. It sounds like there was a bit of an issue present with a particular kid not being able to exercise some self control in the face of some tantalizing snacks. So, mom decided to lock those snacks up. Apparently this upset her husband quite a bit. Was she in the wrong, or was her move totally understandable?

There's nothing quite like the powerful nexus of emotions and demands that come into play when an entitled person goes all out with some extremely narcissistic wedding plans. But too often the shame storm they generate doesn't fall on them in full force. In this case, she found out that everyone thought she was being unreasonable, and decided to take some really unhinged steps to rectify it. For a more straightforward bridezilla story, here's one where a bridezilla ended up looking like a pauper at her own wedding.

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. 

So this guy knows that he's bad at cooking, absolutely hates cooking, but still insists on secretly adding stuff? That's some weird junk, man. It's like having a narcissistic spicy-salt gremlin lurking in your house. In terms of cooking themed childishness it's a little bit like this picky eater husband who demanded fancier meals.

Weddings have an uncanny knack for attracting all kinds of emotional blowups, seem to effortlessly bring out the very worst in people. It's probably directly correlated to the fact that you have various family members being asked to come together, when some of them should be kept as far away as possible from one another. Also, people can become possessed by gnarly cases of aggressive perfectionism. These stories from folks that attended weddings that ended up being cancelled make for quite the emotional rollercoaster.
