Depending on the people, all sorts of subtle power dynamics can start to emerge in a new marriage and manifest in strange ways. These dynamics can become especially ugly and problematic if one person in the relationship is a sociopathic control freak. An older r/AmItheAsshole thread recently went viral on Twitter because of its sheer weirdness. The original post by u/aitalightswater comes across as desperate as she explains her husband's bizarre behavior. According to OP, her husband quit his j…

According to the hit TLC program Say Yes To The Dress , if the wedding dress isn't right, you might as well not get married at all. Wedding dresses are the most expensive and high-stakes pieces of clothing many women will ever buy, and being so, they have to be just right. That's why some women order custom dresses when the options off the rack don't do the trick. Unfortunately for one woman, her custom dress did not turn out like her reference photo. The designer recorded a TikTok documenting…

Marriage. Marriage is what brings us together. Or what tears us apart, depending on who you're asking. As a millennial whose number of married friends keeps increasing, it's hard not to think about the greatest commitment of all time (besides a life sentence).

Though most voted that OP was technically “NTA,” many sympathized with OP's wife on an emotional l…

Pure insanity

The creation of a Thanksgiving meal is no small feat. The two things that make Thanksgiving dinner such an undertaking are the scale and variety of the meal. First of all, you're probably cooking for more people than you would for a meal with your spouse and 2.5 kids. Usually, extended family is involved, and their mouths must be fed. The variety of sides must provide when hosting Thanksgiving is of the utmost importance. If you don't have mashed potatoes, stuffing, cranberry sauce, green bean…

One disgruntled stay-at-home-mom asked Reddit if she was the a-hole for calling her pilot husband “insane” for ditching work to teach his wife a lesson after she didn't have time to iron his uniform. Commenters answered with a resounding “not the asshole.”

Happy marriage? How dare they
