No one ever said there's no more drama after you get engaged. These folks know that fact all too well. They shared their stories of how their engagements fell apart not long before their wedding ceremonies via this r/AskReddit thread, and let's just that these stories are cringe and bleak. Most people probably assume that the root cause of these breakups is adultery, and you wouldn't be entirely wrong there. Cheating comes up a lot on this list, but it's the ridiculous ways in which adultery wa…

Be careful what you complain about in your household! Otherwise, you might end up having to cook your own food. When you're sharing space with someone, whether it's a family member, a partner, or a roommate you found on Craigslist, you have to divide the household tasks appropriately. Those decisions will look different for every living space, but as long as there's a well-understood compromise among all those residing in said living space, there shouldn't be very many problems. Now, if you're…

Imagine you're in what seems like a perfect relationship, thinking you've found "the one." Then, out of the blue, your partner drops a bombshell… they want to find someone who shares their faith, so they break up with you . No hard feelings, right? Well, not quite. How would you feel if, less than a week later, your ex is not just dating someone new but is ENGAGED? That's precisely what happened to this Reddit user. But wait, there's more. When U/ MoreRespect20 confronts his ex, she denies ever…

There are a lot of benefits to being in a relationship, but by far, one of the greatest is combining your streaming service logins to maximize access. Often, these logins won't even be your own, just logins that you've been grandfathered into over time through parents, friends, roommates—even exes with whom you're no longer even in contact. These login accesses are a matter of privilege, and one of the reasons why ending a relationship on good terms is a good idea in the modern dating landscape…

This woman was confused why she got charged $49, so she phoned up a call center for help. The person on the other end of the line, u/boyinblack13x, ended up going above and beyond at their job that day: they helped their customer find this missing ex. In my own personal “sure grandma, let's get you to bed” moment, I remember a time when you could share passwords between streaming services. It was a sneaky way to stay on mom and dad's Netflix plan while you went off to college. Then, these turne…

Love doesn't follow the same timeline as life. We think we know what we're doing with our lives, following a career path, making plans, and taking strides– then BOOM, love hits you like a runaway truck. For some, making plans around their love life is more important than anything else and even romantic cynics can agree that we can't stop a determined loverboy on a mission.

There are people in this world who manage to convince themselves that everything happening to them is someone else's fault. These aren't the people you want to be working with, living with, or dating. Rather, these are the people you want to avoid at all costs, but sometimes, you don't know that you're dealing with this kind of person until it's too late. That seems to be the case for Emma, the best friend of this Redditor . OP shared Emma's story via this thread on Reddit's r/EntitledPeople su…

Sure, societal pressures tell us to strive for partnership, but not having to share a bathroom is pretty great. Perhaps you're finding yourself lonely these days as the Fall wedding season is upon us. Perhaps you just went through a tough breakup and you miss your former significant other. Perhaps you've spent more hours than you'd like to admit swiping through every single dating app known to mankind. Or perhaps you're becoming content with yourself and you're starting to love living the singl…

In a shocking twist, a Reddit user recently found himself facing a challenging and unexpected situation in his relationship. After enjoying six months of happiness with his girlfriend, the couple decided to take their commitment to the next level by moving in together. He thought he had discovered the perfect match, but little did he know that she was about to drop a bombshell that would shatter the illusion of their seemingly picturesque relationship. Faced with this revelation, the boyfriend…

Every couple is comprised of two people: The one who consistently replenishes things, providing consistent predictability in the availability of goods, and the one who refuses to replenish, instead choosing the path of disorder, unpredictability, and abject chaos. Few petty arguments grind the gears like replenishment, with this usually taking place over toilet rolls, ice cube trays, or water jugs. Try as they might to instill some sense of awareness into their partner; the replenishing partner…

Sure, the best payback is to live happily, but sometimes, in order to do that, you need to care of a few other things first. Now, I have never personally been cheated on (to my knowledge), but I know that if that were to happen to me, I would get petty really quickly. What can I say? I'm a Scorpio; it's in my nature. Now, based on the responses to the following r/AskReddit thread, there were plenty of wholesome comments about how futile being petty is, and that very well may be true. But this l…

People are getting candid online about why their relationships are falling apart. No, the answer is not because Mercury is in retrograde, although if you haven't noticed, there have been an unusually high number of breakups and divorces this year among public figures and celebrities. If we look closer than astrology, which is not exactly my preferred method of analysis, there seems to be a disconnect among partnerships about how to even be in a partnership anymore. Part of that is because of th…

Trying to get back together after you've burned a bridge is a lost cause. It's kind of a Sisyphean task and a pointless one at that. If your relationship crashed and burned, you must be in an even worse place if you're trying to get back together. There's no way you could be well-adjusted. If you were, you would have recognized that the damage is done and that it's just better for everyone involved if you walk away and stay away. Some of us, however, are not this smart. When I was in my early t…

The only names you should ever have permanently tattooed on your body are the names of your kids, your parents, and your deity– those things are never changing. However, a boyfriend or girlfriend's name permanently etched into your shoulder can prove to be a little riskier. You may think that'll you'll be in love forever, but that tattoo is a heckuvalot more permanent than most relationships.

We all know the classic dating red flags, but everyone has their own individual pet peeves. Sure, lying about being single or being a stalker are dealbreakers, but pet peeves can have the same power to immediately disqualify someone from being in your life. Personally speaking, I have several red flags that I would always watch out for in my ‘first date’ days. Let's start with the people who say that they are ‘open books." No one who says that is an actual open book. The dates who say that are…

There are some wedding ceremonies you'll never forget for all the wrong reasons. As fall wedding season commences, let's take a trip down memory lane and recall those ceremonies that completely fell apart. Hopefully, the ceremonies that come to mind do not include your own. Personally speaking, I will have been a part of six wedding parties before the end of the year. That's right. Six. If I don't get some kind of a medal at the end of this, I will likely be the cause of one of these dramatic c…
