Most people go into marriage knowing, at least on some level, that it’s meant to be an equal partnership – even if it can be impossible to know what that means in daily practice until you’re actually doing it. This guy still has plenty to learn, it would seem, because when he had the opportunity...

Now, most of the time when you see an AITA post where one party is complaining about a dinner they didn’t have to cook for themselves, you can bet up front they’re going to be raked over the coals. This might be one of those cases, though, where you have to read the whole thing...

This is a tough question, because while I believe most women try their best to stay on top of their game while they’re pregnant, there are certainly circumstances that can make that almost impossible. From the constant nausea and extreme fatigue that you hope only lasts for 12 weeks at the beginning to joint pain, swelling,...

To be fair, I think it’s easier to turn a good person into a monster than it is to turn a monster into anything resembling a good person, so maybe the people answering this question have a little bit of an advantage. That said, it can be hard to believe that anything could change a...

If you’re someone who is, say, over the age of maybe 28 you might find it hard to keep up with what emojis are cool and which ones have fallen out of fashion. Like with social media sites in general, the younger, cooler, more hip generation always seems to move onto something new just when...

If you’ve ever wondered when you need to start protecting your laptop and phone, etc, with passwords so that your kids can’t “accidentally” (or otherwise) go on a shopping spree online, the answer is probably as soon as they’re born. At least, that’s what New Jersey mom Madhu Kumar would tell you after packages she...

People make all kinds of dietary choices for all kinds of different reasons – whether they’re because of ethics, concern over the environment, or health, it’s really no one’s business but their own. That becomes more debatable, though, when their choices start to affect those around them. We’ve seen stories where people trying to put...

If you’re “older” – like, over the age of 25 – there’s a good chance that you’re not using emojis in your texts or social media the way that the “cool kids” do. Basically, the emoji game is constantly changing, with even the meaning of a given emoji being different from one month to the...

I think that most good and honest people would love to say that they left the world better than they found it, even if it’s just in one small way. If we had the opportunity to change things for the better for everyone, well, wouldn’t we do it? This is the question posed to Redditors,...

Part of the process of growing up is learning new things and gaining enough life experience that you can really start to figure out what’s going on without always having to be told by others. Even though we don’t expect people in their 20s to know everything, these people in their 30s (or older) think...

There’s so much we don’t know when we’re fresh out of college (or just getting started on an independent life and career) but that’s really the way it’s supposed to be, right? We learn by doing, and by experiencing things and figuring out what works and what doesn’t, and so expecting young people to be...

I imagine there are more jobs in the world than we think where there are hazards we honestly can’t really fathom without doing them ourselves. I also think pretty much any job where you have to clean up after other human beings probably falls into this category, and there’s no way that hotel maids haven’t...

If you’re someone who has been to college (or sent kids to college) then you know that you have certain expectations for the professors who are getting paid to deliver that super expensive education – and that there are way too many teachers who don’t even seem to be trying to meet them. That said,...

I know that teaching college is supposed to be better than teaching younger kids because you don’t have to deal with parents and, since your students are adults, you can get away with a lot more stuff. That said, there are professors who get away with way too much – if you went to college,...

Here’s the thing. I don’t think that most of us would disagree that winter is lovely to look at…as long as you don’t have a reason to be out in it. And sadly, for most of us, that’s not often an option. Still, if you like looking at pretty pictures and want to remember that...
