We all have those lines we draw in the sand. Not only that, but it’s important and healthy to have boundaries – and they honestly don’t have to make sense for anyone but ourselves. If you’re curious what behaviors put other people off in the bedroom, these 10 people aren’t shy about sharing theirs. 10....

Thankfully, most of us will never know what it’s like to not have somewhere to sleep at night. Many people do, though, and sometimes they even make that choice for personal reasons of their own. If you’re curious why someone might make that decision for themselves, look no further – these 11 people are letting...

In general, I think that most of us who have been in relationships know that ultimatums aren’t generally the way to go. They put people on the defensive, which isn’t typically helpful. Not to mention that, if you make one, you have to be willing to follow through. This woman has already gone and done...

If you a younger Gen X or older Millennial, then you’ve been on the internet as long as anyone else. I mean, sure, Boomers were technically online in the late 90s and early aughts as well, but they didn’t embrace the entire culture the way younger people did. If you count yourself as one of...

I think most people have strict lines in the sand in some areas of dating. Some people – like maybe a friend’s ex – are just off-limits, right? It seems like siblings fall into the off-limits categories for some, but for others, it seems like a no-brainer. You know their family, you like them, and...

If you think about it, sleepovers are a pretty weird rite of passage. No one really likes sleeping away from the comforts of home, other people’s parents are always these weird entities, and you’re hazed if you actually fall asleep. I think that we’ve all done something strange in those moments, but as I read...

I assume that, no matter the type of relationship or who is involved, most relationships are the same at their core. They all have the same potential highs – and the same potential pitfalls – and jealousy is something that most people deal with at one time or another. These 10 people in polyamorous relationships...

In the world of dating, it seems to be more common for older men to date younger women than vice versa. That said, a huge age gap is typically cause for an eyebrow raise no matter the gender disbursement in a relationship, if you ask me. That said, maybe I just don’t understand. If you’re...

Navigating the dating world – or even just the single world – can be rough. There’s no doubt that people come from some vastly different backgrounds and world views that there’s no one-size-fits-all, but I would argue that women still bear the brunt of changing their behavior to avoid trouble. There are many things women...

Back in the early aughts, Jerry Seinfeld did a bit about how Americans will ignore all kinds of serious warning labels – like the ones on cigarettes, for example – but they will absolutely never wash something that states it should be dry cleaned only. The joke was funny because it’s true, because it does...

Navigating family relationships can be tricky in the best of times, but when you and one of your siblings make completely different life choices from your own, the friction can sometimes build into a fire that’s hard to control. This woman chose to lead a more conservative life than her sister, who had a child...

I feel like the answer to this question is super obvious, but if you’re like me, every once in awhile you enjoy reading an Am I the A$$hole post that you just know is going to lead to a good amount of righteous anger. If that’s what you’re here for, never fear – because this...

There’s no doubt that new relationships can be tough on longstanding friendships. When we’re young we tend to throw everything we have into that new person and kind of forget about our friends for awhile, and even as we grow and mature, a rift between friends and a new love interest can cause long term...

Family dynamics can be tough to navigate, especially when you’re talking marriage and relatives who aren’t technically yours, you know? This guy’s brother-in-law and teenaged nieces moved in after he got divorced and lost their house. OP and his wife have one teenaged daughter, a few years younger than her cousins, and the three of them...

There is no doubt in anyone’s mind that parenting is a tough gig. The hours stink, the stress levels are through the roof, and there’s actually zero pay other than sleep deprivation and emotional damage (and sure, also emotional fulfillment), and we all need a break sometimes. That said, there are way too many women...
