10 People Reveal What Is It like Being Married to the Right Person
1. Easy, tbh. Not easy like you never fight, or you never have to accommodate, or be flexible. It’s just…not a constant struggle where you’re trying to convince yourself that everything’s ok. That shit is exhausting.

“My wife used Hinge while on a girls trip”
My wife (34) and I (42) have been together 10 years, married for 7. She just got back from a trip to Paris and London with her sister to visit family. Everything seemed normal until she mentioned that a guy hit on her during the trip, asked for her number, and invited her back to his place—she said she told him “hell no.”
Later, I checked her phone just to see if there were any messages related to that interaction. Instead, I found a Hinge verification text, a recent search for “best dating apps in London,” and saw she had downloaded Hinge back in Oct 2023 and even paid the $49 subscription. I also saw she downloaded Bumble as recently as this March.

Why Some Men Find Power in Giving Up Their Money
There are few corners of sexuality more misunderstood than financial domination. To most people, the idea sounds absurd: a man willingly hands over his hard earned money to a woman who may barely speak to him, may never touch him, and may disappear after a single interaction. Sometimes we are talking about hundreds of dollars. Sometimes thousands. Sometimes life changing amounts of wealth.

Stop Arguing with Strangers Online
It’s 11:30 PM on a Tuesday. You have a presentation tomorrow. You should be asleep. You should be cuddling your partner. You should be doing literally anything else.
But you’re not. You’re lying in the dark, bathed in the sickly blue light of your smartphone, your heart rate elevated to “cardiac event” levels. Why?

The Horrifying Reality Of Contracting Rabies
Let me paint you a picture.
You go camping, and at mid-day you decide to take a nap in a nice little hammock. While sleeping, a tiny brown bat, in the “rage” stages of infection is fidgeting in broad daylight, uncomfortable, and thirsty (due to the hydrophobia) and you snort, startling him. He goes into attack mode.
Except you’re asleep, and he’s a little brown bat, so weighs around 6 grams. You don’t even feel him land on your bare knee, and he starts to bite. His teeth are tiny. Hardly enough to even break the skin, but he does manage to give you the equivalent of a tiny scrape that goes completely unnoticed.

Solitary Confinement and the Descent into Madness
Whatever you think hell is, you’re wrong. You think fire and brimstone, but hell is actually white paint, stainless steel, and a cold that settles into your marrow and never leaves.
I became the nucleus of a concrete cube. It didn’t matter if I was 15 or 40, innocent or guilty; once the door slammed, I was just meat in a box. The room was 60 square feet of psychological warfare. Sometimes the walls were stark white, illuminated by a white light that hummed 24 hours a day, erasing the memory of night. Other times, it was a dungeon of filth—shit stains on the floor, nut stains on the mattress, and a smell that hit you like a physical blow: a cocktail of old urine, vomit, and fear.

How To Escape Sleep Paralysis
For those of you who didn’t know, when we fall asleep our bodies release a chemical into the part of our brain that controls movement, the chemicals being glycine and GABA . These essentially freeze your muscles, rendering you incapable of movement. This is done to keep us from acting out our dreams and injuring ourselves. (Sleepwalkers’ bodies don’t release enough of this chemical, hence the walking).
