Most people in relationships will tell you that the biggest arguments can stem from the most unexpected, seemingly harmless things. However, as the Redditor who shared this post mentioned, it's not really about the minutiae; it's about the bigger picture. In this instance, the bigger picture here is the fact that the original poster (OP) is the breadwinner and the person who foots the grocery bill 99% of the time, and yet, her very simple requests have not been respected. Essentially, OP purcha…

MIL didn't realize she wasn't the one getting married!

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Public school systems play a major role in the education of a child, not solely formal education about equations or English literature, but it also formulates for the child ideas about the world they live in, socially and culturally. Though a parent may try frivolously to instill certain values in their child, the child will always have such a strong part of their upbringing and influence come from their school days. Interacting with other chil…

You're allowed to wear whatever you want at your wedding . It's your wedding, after all. You can wear a green morph suit for all I care. You are not, however, exempt from the opinions of others regarding what you're wearing. Especially family. Weddings are family affairs by nature, or else everyone would simply elope. So when you have a wedding, you're opening up your life and choices to be evaluated by the people in your company. You don't have to care (and probably shouldn't care) what they t…

It's not fun to call out a line cutter. In fact, most folks do not consider confrontation with strangers to be their strong suit, and yet sometimes, there is no other alternative but to call these people out on their nonsense. Here, we have a babysitter who was purchasing a toy with the 3-year-old she was taking care of at the time. When it was their turn at checkout, the 3-year-old accidentally dropped the toy, which gave the impatient Karen behind them the opportunity to cut the line and insi…

Any healthy relationship should be predicated on trust , loyalty, and honesty. There’s no excuse for lying to your partner’s face, or hiding things behind their back. Although it may seem pedantic to have such stringent rules about betrayal, when you see the red flags that your partner could be hiding something from you or potentially cheating, there’s only one answer – run! In this Reddit thread, the original poster (OP) is a man who has noticed some strange behavior from his wife while she’s…

Here's my number

Having shared values with your significant other is one of the most important dynamics in a relationship. I always felt like it’s even concomitant to find someone who has overlapping values to you, because if they didn’t it would have been difficult to get further in the relationship. How a person feels about money, marriage, or children matters a lot. If you’re someone who isn’t so into contrived aesthetics, normal hygiene, or materialism, then you're probably going to attract another similar…

This new Airbnb has stirred up some serious tension in a tight-knit rural community. And it's all thanks to the host who doesn't care where her guests wander. She's nice enough, but she doesn't truly care about the community, only about making more money. For over 20 years, the neighbors have enjoyed their quiet, massive properties, but since a local home was converted into an Airbnb, clueless city guests have been taking "hiking" a little too far and right onto the neighbor's private land.

Sometimes, the best kind of leadership is stepping back when things are working perfectly fine. Here, we have a new boss who came from a more fast-paced startup environment. He decided that the best way to get his team members to like him was by enforcing an entirely new policy without their input that would prioritize efficiency over everything else, including quality. This was the kind of guy who didn't like any hint of hesitation, so this Redditor complied, albeit maliciously. He knew that a…

When one employee offered his younger, well-liked coworker a ride to work, he thought he was just doing a small favor. But things took a turn when his passenger started showing up every day with food and drinks, leaving wrappers, cans, and crumbs all over the car. The driver, a self-admitted neat freak, tried to handle it politely, repeatedly asking his coworker to clean up after himself. Despite multiple promises, the mess only grew, with empty cans and wrappers piling up, even attracting ants…

Lesson learned, you should never tell family or friends about a lottery win.

They should pay for college if they're so bothered

The slow burn we all needed.

Delusional thinking

Usually, when a woman finds out that her husband is being unfaithful to her, the first thing she will want to do is leave him and never look back. Unfortunately, for some women leaving is not that easy, especially not for stay-at-home mothers. Having no financial stability to fall back on when leaving your spouse can understandably make women question whether or not they should leave at all, which is exactly what happened to the woman who wrote this story. Luckily, this brave woman carefully an…
