If dating is hard, I can’t imagine how hard finding a husband is. I tend to think these sorts of problems arise from the approach we’re taking to dating and not from the dating pool itself. She says some interesting things about her and her relationship with the internet; she says she loves video games, Reddit, CDs. To me,

‘Imagine trying to share your favorite sci-fi or Reddit meme with someone who doesn't comprehend... It's loneliness’ : 33-year-old woman at the end of her wits with finding a partner and is thinking about using an international marriage agency

Not for nothing, mothers-in-law have been depicted as evil witches throughout history, in every art form possible. Hold on, I’m not saying they are actually evil; I’m saying the relationship between a mother and her son’s significant other is always potentially rocky, because mothers tend to want the best and only the best for them, and get v

I’m going to be very careful because this is a little funny, but it’s also very serious, and there is a slight element of inversion that’s interesting to me. On the one hand, we’ve got a man telling his partner she is “beggy” after she asked for something, and on the other, we’ve got a woman who got legally married, still calls her

31-year-old man calls his fiancé “beggy” for asking for a formal proposal: ‘Instead of feeling excited about a proposal or a ring, I don’t really want either anymore because it feels tainted’

I totally understand that hunger can be nerve-wracking, especially when you’re seeing everybody else eat except you, but manners exist for a reason, and that reason is belonging. When a restaurant delays your order long enough, you start to feel that if you leave, you’d wasted all the time you already spent waiting, but at the sa

Man gets tired of waiting, cancels his order at restaurant, goes looking for other food while fiancé and family are still eating, and now they are angry at him: ‘Can you please wait for 20mins. I said wow’

To have a guilty conscience The most ridiculous part of this story is that the supposedly betrayed part is not even angry. The only one who’s freaking out is the one who has a guilty conscience. It’s sad how you can find out, years later, that not all of your friends have the capacity to have an honest, heart-to-heart conversation. Maybe you used to kee

40-year-old man realizes his soon-to-be ex-wife is dating his friend, who has now blocked him everywhere: ‘How would you feel? I’m told a real friend wouldn’t do that’

Do we get married to please family and friends? I don’t think the concept of marriage is independent of gatherings and celebrations; the origins of marriage as a ceremony are directly linked to community, family, and groups. It was originally a celebration precisely orchestrated within society and a ritual that symbolized a passage from one role inside it

A couple gets secretly engaged, then secretly married, and ends up disappointing their loved ones when they eventually find out: ‘From our perspective, we didn't do it to exclude anyone or because we don't love our families and friends’

Some people connect more easily with their inner child. Sometimes, so much so that it’s difficult to distinguish them from the adult person also living inside them. If we got stuck at some developmental stage, maybe it’s helpful for us to try to re-elaborate it once we are older.

30-year-old man starts treating his 28-year-old wife like she is a toddler because she acted like one towards her child:' I then told my wife to apologize, then after she said sorry I told her to say what she was sorry for'

Big events have a way of bringing everything into light. Those days, when our feelings are exacerbated and expectations are high, old dynamics we’ve gotten so used to that we stopped noticing them show themselves again at full force. The resulting feeling is bittersweet; we see something clearly now- which is in itself a blessing, but what we see isn’t beautiful at all.

Bride abruptly ended a 10-year friendship with her maid of honour after what happened on her wedding day: 'Eventually I asked her for honesty and closure. What I got back shocked me.'

Many couples go through a stage where attraction decreases; for some, this is just a stage, for others, it means the end is near. When children are involved, especially if they’re very small, responsibilities increase, routines emerge, and parents’ identities shift.

'You look like a mom': 33-year-old man says his wife changed after having kids and complains after she gets a haircut, leaving her questioning how to continue with the marriage succesfully

In life, we're sometimes confronted with very difficult decisions, some about our career paths, some about our finances, and others about our love lives. It's a tale as old as time: the mean wife makes the husband decide between his friends and her. But in this case, I think the mean ones are the husband's friends, and the wife is not even bringing up the decision.

41-year-old man allowed his friends to pressure him into organizing a hiking trip without his wife: 'They have also made remarks implying that my husband should prioritize their trips over plans he has made with me'

Who determines our relationship to love and marriage? At first, I thought this was yet another story about a guy getting cold feet right at the moment he is asked a big question. This is how it always goes for me: everything seems to be going fine, and at some point, I decide to bring up some variation of the ‘what are we?’ question, and all we had goes up in flames.

25-year-old woman asks her 27-year-old boyfriend about clarity on their future and he breaks up with her: 'He later said he spoke to his mother and she said he should marry 6 months after finishing postgrad'

The movies that taught us how to act and feel when in love forgot to mention stuff like mortgages, inflation, and the cost of airplane tickets. When we enter a partnership, we do so without knowing what pervasive bad habits our loved ones have and what damage they’ll eventually cause in our relationship. That unknowingness is, in part, good because if we knew everything from the get-go, we would never form any kind of couple.

Frustrated husband considers leaving his wife due to her repeatedly making bad major life decisions over the last 10 years: 'Am I being resentful and unfair?'
