Relationships are messy. They’re full of joy, laughter, fights about whose turn it is to unload the dishwasher, and deep, intimate moments of connection. But somewhere along the way, a lot of us get tripped up by an idea that sounds noble but is deeply toxic: the belief that it’s your job to “fix” your partner.

Is a visit from the in-laws every 1.5 months for 2 weeks too much?
I NEVER agreed to it. I said one week max. But once they’re here they would ask to stay. Now suddenly 2 weeks in the normal. I said if it’s two weeks it has to be two months in between. Then it inches closer together. Now the norm has become 2 weeks every 1.5 months…and shaving off days of the in between.
They’re overbearing, take over the house, criticize and comment on how to raise our child.
And I feel like I’m being gaslit into thinking that it’s not even that often or that much because they just want to see their grandchild.
I’m going insane. I didn’t get off to a good start with them. Basically treated me like an insect until I got pregnant.
Theyre in the east coast and we’re in the Midwest.
What do I even do. Even if I had a good relationship with them I feel like it’s still A LOT of time to basically be living with them.

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.

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.
