There's something to be said for trying — but the last thing you want to do with a half-baked gesture is expose how little you listen to (or care) about your partner's wants and wishes. It doesn't take that much time or great observational skills to take note of the things that your partner enjoys; one might hope that, through general time spent together, it's something you'd just naturally and innately come to know. I say this despite myself having the observational skills of a deaf bat and th…

Can we still be an a-hole if our intent was well-meaning? Well, probably . That's the answer that Reddit gave this aunt after she approved her nephew's super-extra outfit for her wedding, which — it turns out, was a really bad idea. The big short of the situation is this: The super cool aunt and her fiancé are pretty artsy people; they wanted people to dress in whatever colors and manner they preferred, just as long as it was nice and a little bit “fancy." Her nephew really took to this idea an…

I smell the end of this relationship...

This woman exacted some seriously petty revenge on her boyfriend and best friend after she discovered the two were having a secret relationship behind her back. She then returned to the comment section to share how her petty revenge had sowed the seeds of discord between the new couple after her departure – which led to the couple breaking up. Yesterday we shared the original version of this story, in which the woman shared the story of her revenge to Reddit's r/pettyrevenge subreddit. She then…

Certain instances of cheating can never be forgiven: Taking extra monopoly money while acting as the banker during a family board game night, using illicit vibrating devices to receive secret messages during a high-ranked chess tournament, and, of course, engaging in a secret relationship with your spouse's best friend behind your spouse's back. If you find yourself betrayed by any one of these, the only recourse is to ditch out on everyone you know and love, hit the gym, and start a new life.…

It's a wild world out there — and when you brave it out into the dangerous dark forests of the online dating landscape, you never know what you're going to find. Chances are some feral, hairy, slobbering beast will try to slide its way into your DMs, or you may find yourself stalked by some other snarling ogre. Somewhere out there lies a castle in wait, holding safe the holy grail, but you're going to have to battle black knights, riddle with aged men, and deliver shrubberies before you find it…

Being in a serious relationship means picking up on all your partner's funny habits

Swipe left, swipe right, oops a bot, oh - a match! Actually... never mind.

It's all Netflix and no chill over here. In a hilarious act of petty revenge, this dude decided to troll his ex's Netflix account in order to mildly inconvenience her life and exact a little revenge on her for cheating on him all those years ago. That might just be the most surprising thing about this post, it's not as if they broke up yesterday; the user writes that she dumped him “A few years back,” which means he has been holding onto this desire to get even for some time. We've probably all…

Whatever happened to doing your own chores?

When this woman realized that she was still paying for her cheap, cheating ex-husband's phone as a part of her bill she attempted to reason the situation out with him, when he failed to be reasonable she reported the phone as stolen. There's definitely something to be said for wanting ownership over something you're paying for, and when you're still paying for something that is in the hands of a cheating ex, you had better bet that's going to rub some big ol' grains of salt in some very deep an…

Everyone knows a “tired girl”: those tired old ladies who inhabit a younger body that just want to do nothing but sleep. My girlfriend is one of these “tired girls” and, if you let her, she would sleep for 15 hours straight with no problems. She's more than happy to go to bed at 9 pm on a Friday night and her ideal Saturday evening is curling up on the couch with a bowl of popcorn before hitting the hay at the startling hour of 10 pm. As with anything, there will be someone out there in the wor…

This guy is not relationship material.

If you want a favor from someone… Isn't it kind of insane to insult the person who you're requesting said favor from? Bonus insanity points for insulting whatever skill or position that is allowing them to do said favor for you. You can't have your ignorant-ass cake and eat it too.

From the looks of it, people are just getting bolder and bolder on Tinder.
