Husband earning $200k charges wife 50/50 on $5000 moving expenses despite his job fully covering it, she refuses to pay

Marriage vows typically contain a phrase that refers back to the “what’s mine is yours and what’s yours is mine” idea; the way we think about that union has been ingrained in us for centuries. However, when one thinks of that, one thinks of shared belongings, goods, food, and shelter, not about claiming authorship for everything our partner has done before we were even in the picture.

35-year-old man insists on sharing authorship of a book he didn't write with his 33-year-old girlfriend: 'Were not even on the same lease yet and he wants to be on the spine of a book that took me four and a half years to write'

As we get older, our roles in relation to our parents often become reversed. In short, we become the parents, and they become the children. This doesn’t always happen, but when it does, it becomes a source of profound distress. In the case of the daughter who shared her experience with this, I think it’s more of a ‘the dad never grew up to begin with’ situation, but we’ll see.

'I’ll do it later': 22-year-old daughter starts treating 58-year-old farmer dad like a child after 22 years of him failing to do what he said he will

It's a tale as old as time, you say you don't like surprises, and your significant other hears: 'I've spent my life secretly wishing somebody would throw me a surprise birthday party', and the rest is history; or should I say: the rest is this story. Just to add insult to injury, some people approach gifts in a 'what I would like to receive' way instead of actually thinking about the other person.

23-year-old boyfriend throws a surprise birthday party for girlfriend and forgets to include her and her friends: ‘It was four people, his best friend, a mutual friend, my roommate, and her friend I didn’t know’

When we are suspicious about our significant others, any minor detail can send us into a never-ending spiral of paranoia. For the jealous person, it takes only a glance, a comment, or an unrecognised object to confirm their worst fears. Yes, I’m already assuming the boyfriend in this story is not guilty as charged; otherwise, why would he ask people on the internet what else he can do to convince his girlfriend he didn’t bring anyone while she was at work?… Oh wait.

25-year-old girlfriend finds a lighter near the sink and assumes her 27-year-old boyfriend had someone else in the house while she was at work: 'I swear on everything that nobody came over and I genuinely do not know where the lighter came from'

Are we always obliged to follow our loved ones' rules? Our most meaningful rules might appear ridiculous to somebody else, but part of the art of learning how to love is respecting what our significant others deem important, even though it sounds ludicrous to us. That’s my position anyway, but let’s see what this Redditor has to say.

Is one supposed to endure hunger so as not to become an ungrateful guest? Table manners are not an exact science. One might consider leaving a house party early a perfectly fine attitude, while another can find the same to be a crime against humanity. Let’s embark on seeing what we conclude after reading this Reddit post.

Diner leaves a dinner party early because the vegan lasagna didn’t fill him up: ‘There were no noodles, no cheese, and no sauce. It was basically layers of vegetables stacked together’

Is it finally time to balance the books? This story leaves me wondering what the ex-boyfriend could have done to deserve still being actively paying for his mistakes. As a surprise to no one, I think having unsettled accounts with your ex-boyfriend is a recipe for disaster, and this story is just another example of that truth.

I wish someone or something could protect us from the ridiculous fights we pick and the mistakes we make in our first relationships, but we are at the mercy of stronger forces and find ourselves pushed to go through that character arc alone. Everything feels so dramatic when we're in our early twenties; you couldn't pay me enough to go back, but no one can take the pleasure of watching and analyzing someone who's still in the trenches away from me.
