Money can be complicated in relationships — especially when it comes to saving together.

Weddings are awkward social events. I don’t care how well you know the bride and groom—weddings are basically a collection of strangers who mostly just want to hold their wine and maybe eat an entrée-sized portion of shrimp. You’re forced to squeeze into a shared table with a random assortment of coworkers, distant relatives, and …
Money is one of those conversational tightropes. It’s not romantic. It’s not easy. But it’s essential to navigate if your relationship is going to last.

When was the last time you asked yourself a genuinely bizarre question? We’re not talking about the usual “What should I eat?” or “Where’s my phone?” type of question.

Relationships are all about spontaneity. Not every second of your time together needs to be meticulously planned or tediously organized. Sometimes, the most memorable moments are the random ones — the ones where you just say, “Hey, what do you feel like doing right now?” and take off from there. The ones you both end …
Men are hard to read. Sometimes they speak one language while meaning another. Other times, they do things that don’t make much sense to women on the surface, yet have deeper significance underneath. It happens: men express care and affection differently than women do. Because some of those actions are so subtle or confusing, many …
Marriage is hard. It’s something no one really tells you about once you’ve decided to take the plunge. People only show you the “honeymoon phase” — where everything is rainbows and butterflies. There are days when you wake up and think, “Wow, I’m so lucky to be with this person.” Then there are days when …
Let’s be real — it can be difficult to figure out a guy’s true feelings at times. One day he’s sullen and distant, and the next, he’s teasing you and acting like a goofball. But when a guy is relaxed and at ease in your company, he’ll show you sides of himself that he only …
Warning: This post might get you triggered. But it’s important to face the facts: when your husband spits on you, it’s a big deal. A really big deal. Let’s be real here, sweetheart. Being spat on by the love of your life is humiliating, plain and simple. No matter how you slice it, it stings …
This question — “How do you beat a player at his own game?” — comes up often, and it’s usually loaded with emotion. It sounds powerful, almost cinematic, but when you really think about it, there’s a lot wrong with the question itself. Below are a few things you can do to beat a player …
It’s not until you get married that you truly learn how to interact with members of the opposite sex without seeming like you have intentions of cheating on your spouse. This is not to say that once you get married, your life should only revolve around interactions with the same gender. Whether at work, in …
Work takes up a large portion of life, and it’s easy to get so caught up in it that you forget just how all-encompassing it can be. When a person is overworked, it affects every part of their life — not just their job. Mental and physical health, relationships, home life, and joy can all …
You love this person. You want to be more than just friends. You want to go on dates with them. You want to hold hands. You want to fall asleep in each other’s arms. It’s a feeling that’s both beautiful and horrible. Loving someone so much that you almost get lost in the sensation of …
You’re sitting with your boyfriend, both scrolling through your phones because you’ve run out of things to say to each other. You love each other so much, but that doesn’t mean you won’t experience a few minutes of “Silence of the Lambs”-level awkwardness while trying to figure out what to talk about. You already know …

It’s an easy out, isn’t it? The universe just didn’t have my back this time — no matter how hard I tried. If we’re honest, though, a lot of “bad luck” is really just a series of bad decisions masquerading as denial and victimhood. The reality is this: bad luck is a lot less common …
She’s not the hottest, the loudest, or the one playing hard to get. She doesn’t have to be. She has something. And it’s not always something he notices right away — or something he understands until he’s lost her. It’s just this thing. This feeling he can’t quite name. This woman he always remembers. After …
We’ve all had those days — or even weeks — when our brains just feel done. You’re tired but can’t sleep. You sit down to work and can’t focus. Even small decisions, like what to eat, suddenly feel monumental. You may not even have the energy to call someone and explain how you feel. This, …

Holding yourself accountable is hard. Who actually wants to say “no” to that leftover slice of pizza when it’s calling your name? It’s so much easier to make a goal, get hyped for a week or two, and then slowly slide back into bad habits. We promise ourselves we’ll “start again Monday,” or that “it …

Being married to a narcissistic husband can slowly drain the life out of you—emotionally, mentally, and sometimes even physically. At first, you may not have recognized what was happening.

The truth is that there’s an invisible power dynamic at work here.
