Let’s be real – we’ve all been there. You’re in the heat of an argument with your partner, and suddenly it feels like you’re in a courtroom drama. You’re pulling out receipts, citing past incidents, and trying to prove your point like your relationship depends on it. But here’s the thing: it doesn’t. In fact, trying to “win” arguments with your partner is probably doing more harm than good.

We’ve all been there. In the heat of an argument, words fly out of our mouths faster than we can process them. “You always do this!” “You never listen to me!” Before we know it, we’re knee-deep in a verbal sparring match, wondering how we got there. The culprit? Accusatory statements.
These verbal grenades might feel satisfying to lob in the moment, but they’re relationship poison. Let’s dive into why these statements are so toxic and what we can do instead.

In the world of dating and relationships, there’s a lot of talk about “settling.” You’ll hear people say things like “Don’t settle for less than you deserve” or “I’d rather be alone than settle.” And while it’s true that you should never stay in a relationship with someone who makes you unhappy just for the sake of being in a relationship, there’s a fine line between settling and being realistic.

My husband (M32) and I (F31) have been married for just over 9 years and we’ve never had penetrative sex because the idea of it makes him uncomfortable.
Some backstory: we got married young, right out of college and in a Christian context (e.g. believing sex before marriage was bad, unable to live together until we exchanged vows, etc). My husband went from living with his parents to living with me.

I’m (27m) living with my girlfriend (27f) of several years and am thinking about marrying her. I make double what she makes in a year. We don’t pay for any expenses the other has (car notes, gym memberships, student loans, etc), and on shared bills we split it 2/3rds, me and 1/3rd, her. I find it difficult navigating shared financial situations with her because I don’t want to contribute more than my 2/3rds, and sometimes she doesn’t have the money to put towards it.
Anyone else in my situation, and how do you navigate your relationship finances?

My 64 years old husband that I married for 33 years got scammed and they emptied out his entire 401K savings of $210K in the past 6 months. The worse thing was that he fell into the romantic pig butchering scam with 2 different scammers/lovers while I revolved my life around him. Even though we filed report to FBI, IC3, SEC, the money is a total loss since they have gone to the criminal organization rings in Cambodia and Myanmar.
My 32M wife 40F and her best friend 43F were all hanging out at the house with a few of her other friends. Her best friend kept trying to pull me off the couch to take a shot.
She grabbed both my legs and pulled me right off the couch we started like play wrestling . We were drunk and it was all out of fun. I’m 5’3 and about 130 pounds . She’s the same height as me but weighs more.
I tried grabbing her legs and tackling her but she just pushed me to the ground and had me pinned. I was trying as hard as I could to get up and started turning bright red and my wife and all her friends started laughing so hard. Her friend was barely trying and was able to just keep me pinned there.

I have recently gotten engaged. Unfortunately, my partner has a large debt to the tune of over $175k. The majority of it is from student loans from a degree that was not finished. The loans are as follows:
Private loan of $119k, 7.8% interest. Another private loan of $5k with 5% interest, CC of $6600, and a government loan of $45k with var interest.
He is paying $1848 combined on all of these loans, which is as much as he makes in one paycheck… in addition to the rest of our living expenses. $1k of that goes toward the largest loan monthly. I have minimal debt (under 2K), and a credit score of 774.
Is there anything I can do? Have I screwed myself on ever being able to buy a house?
First off, congratulations on your engagement! That’s a big milestone and I’m sure you two are excited about building your life together. But you’re right to be concerned about your partner’s debt situation. $175k is no small amount, especially with those high interest rates.
