People Discuss What Red Flags to Look out for in Friendships

Have you ever had to “break up” with a friend before?

I have…and let me tell you it is not fun.

That’s why you need to pay attention to the red flags and not make friends with people who exhibit these in the first place.

So listen up!

Here are some good tips about what to look out for from AskReddit users.

1. All about them.

“Friends that only care to talk about their own success and aren’t genuinely happy for you and yours unless it amounts to less than their own.”

2. Not good traits.

“Really jealous and possessive friends. I’m a jealous person by nature, and even though my jealousy flares up when I see my friends hanging out with other people, I would never let them know.

Why? Because I don’t want them to feel bad about doing the things they love (eg. having a social life outside my little world)

If a person tries to box you up because they want you all to themselves, it’s not a proof of love or companionship. True love (in any kind of relationship like friends, family, lovers) is shown by respect and allowing the other person to have free will.”

3. Can’t be honest.

“Continually feeling like you want to say something but should hold your tongue.”

4. Like a bomb.

“When you hang out with them it feels like you’re defusing a bomb when theres nothing going on right then.”

5. Usually not good news.

“You see you got a private message from them and your gut reaction is to start getting nervous or anxious.

“What is it this time…”.”

6. A lot of backstabbing.

“Friends who gossip excessively.

If they’re talking about other people, chances are they’re talking about you.”

7. This is really annoying.

“Being dismissive of all your interests and achievements.

Meanwhile everything they do, no matter how mundane, is amazing.”

8. Needy Needy Needy.

“Always asking for favours but never there when you need them to return one.”

9. Let me breathe, please.

“Friends that don’t let you have any other friends and require 100% of your time when they can’t give you the same.”

10. Gets very exhausting.

“They call you only when they need you.

And then you feel guilty when you get mad because they’ve had a rough upbringing or something. And you feel like a bad friend and like maybe you’re overreacting. Because you know, they’ve been through a lot.

But still you want to vent to them about your problems because they might be able to sympathize but then you think that their problems have been worse than yours so you really can’t complain because in comparison you don’t have shit to complain about.

And they don’t call you or text you for a few months… but suddenly they get into an argument with somebody and they’re always in the right and they need somebody to reassure them that they deserve better.”

11. A big list.

“Friends who are good to you when one on one but constantly put you down In group settings. This is a big sign of insecurity/jealousy.

Other signs: inappropriate attention seeking behaviors, trying to twist the situation on you when confronted about things, not respecting your boundaries, is super friendly with new people but in a disingenuous “I wanna be liked the most” way.

Constant gaslighting, getting mad at you for not going by the exact same moral playbook as them, when in group settings they get really uncomfortable and try to change the subject or put you down extra if attention is on you, acting they like can take constructive feedback but actually taking it out on you in small ways throughout the rest of the day.”

12. They’re never wrong.

“Inability or unwillingness to apologize when he or she does something wrong.

It’s symptomatic of an ego issue that will eventually infect every aspect of your friendship.”

13. Uhhhh, that’s weird.

“My “best friend” in high school once specifically requested for me to post a picture of us for National Best Friend Day, or some similar holiday. I asked if she’d be posting a picture of us too.

“No, I have a lot of best friends. But I’m your main best friend so you should post a picture of us.” Was her response.

The next couple years were full of back stabbing & gas lighting, complete with occasional fallings out until we finally stopped speaking. Looking back, I can’t believe I didn’t see it coming.”

14. Up to no good.

“When they push other people out of the friend group. It happened in my group where there were 5 of us, she joined and basically bullied 3 out of the group. But it wasn’t obvious bullying.

A lot of things change, next thing I know I’m being treated like shit to the point I hate myself. Me and my friend managed to leave and make friends with the original 5 again.

The one that kicked everyone out is very social and no one rly likes her bc she’s not nice but she’s now found herself with no friends.”

15. Boundaries are important.

“You’ll gladly do a favor for them or help them out, but when you need something, they won’t do it, and act like you’re ridiculous for asking.

Also- when friends don’t respect boundaries.”

Well, now you know what to look out for, right?

What about you? Do you have any good advice in this department?

If so, please share it with us in the comments.

This Cute Unicorn Dog Has One Ear on Top of Her Head

The pooch’s name is Rae and she’s your typical adorable golden retriever, except for one thing.

She only has one ear on top of her head, which kind of makes her look like a unicorn.

At least according to social media, where Rae has captured the hearts of all who see her.

At birth, Rae suffered an injury that left her with only one ear. Eventually, that ear made its way to the top of her head.

Recently, Rae got herself an Instagram account and she already has more than 200,000 followers. She’s affectionately known as the “unipupper.” People call her a “beauty,” and “so cute.”

“Oh my gosh. You are perfect in every way,” said one commenter. “I can’t get enough of this cuteness,” said another.

According to Unilad, her dog-mom got a little too rough playing with her and accidently injured her ear to the point it had to be removed. But she can hear just fine with her one ear atop her head.

And, if her Instagram pics tell anything, it’s that Rae doesn’t let something like a little ear injury stop her from being so cute that she’s the internet’s unicorn.

We’re looking forward to seeing more images of this sweet pup.

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard Role-Play Apologies When They Fight in Front of Their Kids

Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard may be a celebrity couple living in the spotlight, but they are as real as any normal couple out there.

They’re also very open about their relationship, the good and the bad, including how they’ve entered couples therapy.

Back in 2017, Shepard revealed to Us Weekly that he and Bell don’t believe they are each other’s “one.” “We are opposites,” he said, “and it has taken a tremendous amount of work and therapy for us to coexist.

View this post on Instagram

Hump day = mask night.

A post shared by kristen bell (@kristenanniebell) on

In other words, they fight just like regular couples.

Recently, they argued so badly, that afterward they didn’t even talk to each other for three days.

On the Life Is Short With Justin Long podcast, Bell said the whole thing started when Shepard told her he felt “controlled” by the notes she’d left him asking him to do things around the house.

View this post on Instagram

DATE NIGHT!??????

A post shared by kristen bell (@kristenanniebell) on

“I don’t actually remember what happened, but what transpired was a lot of volume, a lot of harsh words being thrown around, and it was an angry, angry fight about how nobody does anything for anybody else.”

Then, during an appearance on The Motherly Podcast, Bell went on to explain how their fights get resolved while also setting a good example for their girls.

She and Shepard realized that while their daughters often see them disagree, they aren’t usually around when the two make up. They agreed to role-play their apologies so the kids can see how loving adults resolve their differences.

We’ll come home, we’ll be tense with each other, we’ll snap at each other in the kitchen — not realising they’re witnessing it. We put them to bed, we go into the bedroom, and just privately we’ll say, “God, I’m sorry I snapped at you, I’ve had a really tough day.”

So [Dax] said, let’s make a deal that whenever we make up behind closed doors, that we role-play the next morning. Every time we’re testy with each other, the next morning I’ll say, “Good morning, Daddy — I just wanted to say, last night, I had a really long day and I’m sorry that I snapped at you about, you know, not having the dinner that you wanted.”

And he would say, “Yeah, Mommy, you’re right, I had a hard day too, and I’m really sorry.”

And then we physically kiss and hug.

Now THAT is love.

In this way, their children can see how the adults in their lives should behave and then they learn too. She doesn’t expect them to just know these lessons any other way.

When it comes to celebrity couples, Kristen and Dax are the best.

Syrian Father Taught His Young Daughter to Laugh at the Sounds of Bombs and Guided Them to Safety

A little girl and her father, who showed her how to laugh off exploding bombs, finally arrived safely in Turkey from Syria.

Three-year-old Salwa and her parents crossed into Turkey on at the end of February, according to Turkey’s state-run Anadolu Agency The UK’s Guardian newspaper said the family had found a new home in Antakya.

Earlier, a poignant video went viral of Salwa and her dad, named Abdullah Mohammed, laughing heartily while the sounds of bombs exploded nearby their home in Idlib, Syria. Mohammed was praised for protecting his daughter against the trauma of the bombs. The video also showed how horrible it is to be a little one in the midst of war.

Mohammed asks his daughter, “Is that a plane or a bomb?”

“A shell,” she says, “and when it falls, we will laugh!”

Salwa remembered how children used to set of fireworks during Eid al-Fitr. Mohammed used this memory to make a game out of being bombed for her.

 

Idlib is located in northwestern Syria and is at the center of fighting between Turkish-backed rebels and Syrian forces backed by Russia.

According to UN estimates, approximately one million people have been forced to flee the area. Many others, however, have been trapped.

The Guardian’s Bethan McKernan wrote, “For the first time ever, she can laugh at normal things,” after she saw Salwa dancing around her new home in a pink princess dress.

The war in Syria has waged for nine years. Let’s hope they find an end to it soon.

Men Talk About What Myths and Stereotypes About Males Drive Them Nuts

I am not trying to say that men have it nearly as tough as women do in the world, but I think we can agree that guys have shit to deal with as well.

And one of the things that drives men crazy are the stereotypes and myths about males in general that they think are totally false.

Let’s see what the men of AskReddit had to say.

1. Raising my kids.

“I hate when I hear from someone when I have my kids and my wife is working that I’m “babysitting”.

It drives me insane. I don’t babysit. I’m raising my kids, I’m not a volunteer or a hired hand. Ugh.”

2. Not a plot.

“That we only tell women our feelings to coerce them into bed. Like, “Wow, how new and amazing this relationship is. I’m so glad I found you”

That is uncomfortable vulnerability, not some sort of plot.”

3. Man up.

“This whole “be a man” schtick that leads guys to internalize their problems and marinate in their own issues and neglect their mental health drives me nuts.

It took me a long time to find female friends just so id feel comfortable talking about my depression and get advice on how to get the help I need. If i did not, I would without a doubt be dead right now.

I stamp this thinking out wherever I can find it. It was almost the death of me.”

4. At least two things at once.

“‘Men can’t multitask’

Every time I hear that I have to stop what I am doing so I can get angry.”

5. Spoon me!

“That men have to be brave and strong all the time. I love being the little spoon in bed with my SO. Nothing makes me feel safer and calmer than having her wrap her arms around me and cuddle in.”

6. More to life than that.

“Men think about sex every X amount of seconds”

I’m a grown man with a life, i have more to think about than just sex.”

7. That’s kinda weird.

“Me having big feet only means that I wear big shoes. And seriously, what makes girls think they can just come up to you and ask about it?”

8. Men can be abused.

“That men can’t be abused by woman.

Or that men can get assaulted/harassed by other men. I’ve had some very pushy gay men approach me, one going as far as trying to touch my ass and dick inside my underwear after I said like 3 times that I’m straight and not interested.

Luckily the women I was out with immediately chastised that guy. But tbh guys laugh at me when I tell that story and talk about how badly they would’ve beaten him up, women who I’ve told always reacted shocked and emphatic.”

9. They’re not clueless.

“It’s getting better now, but back in the day basically every guy on TV was a sports-obsessed, car/motorcycle loving, beer swilling moron who couldn’t function without his wife to look after him and the kids.

My wife went away last week for work and I’ll have you know that only half my kids got eaten by wolves.”

10. It’s our day.

“That we’re all not interested in or incapable of being involved in the planning of our weddings.

I cannot tell you how many comments like “Remember, it’s her day, not yours!” I received during the 2-year lead-up to our wedding. I’m not going to lie to you and say I’d been looking forward to getting married since I was 12 or something but I took an active interest together with my wife in the planning of our wedding. “It’s not my day, it’s hers?”

Fuck that. It was our day. We planned it together. Her vision definitely brought it all together and she did a fucking astounding job, but she didn’t just make decisions on her own, we talked together about and worked together on every single thing involved in the event; and we were both ecstatic with how it turned out. It turned out beautifully. I try not to toot my own horn very often but I never thought the best party I’d ever go to would end up being my own!”

11. Total BS.

“That men who worksat daycare are phedophiles. Every year there are people who complain I work there.

Jesus, what a load of BS. As if guys can’t be nurturers who like children or even just work there because they need the job.”

12. Can’t we be friends?

“Just because I have a dick and you have a vagina doesnt mean I’m trying to get in your pants. I want friends just like anyone else. But when I try to talk to people like my guy friends they assume I’m trying to date them. No.

I just like asking my friends how they were because I hate people who only talk to you when they want something. So I talk to everyone as a show of you are my friend, not the services you offer.”

13. Everywhere, there’s signs.

“That we miss signs that women give them because they are stupid. We see them, but we don’t want to be creepy/jump to conclusions.”

14. Nothing wrong with that.

“I really hate how fruity drinks are associated with women, like damn can I just enjoy my strawberry daiquiri.

I always order fruity frozen drinks and my wife always orders beers. Half the time, the waiter gives me the beer instead. Nobody scoffs when a dude’s got a kick-ass Slurpee but as soon as you add some rum it’s a girls drink? Fuck off.”

15. Everyone has fear.

“That we are not afraid of walking alone through a dark car park at night.

After a great deal of asking every one from police, to self defense instructors, to a green beret and a bunch of combat vets, to the most cracked out gun nuts.

Not met a single person who had no fear.”

And there you have it!

Okay, guys, we want to hear from more of you.

In the comments, tell us what myths and stereotypes about men you think are total BS.

We look forward to hearing from you!

Couples Who Sleep in Separate Beds Explain Why

For some, this sounds like a dream. For other people…I can see how it might lead to some problems.

Hell, maybe they do it because of their problems. I’m talking about couples who sleep in separate beds.

Folks on AskReddit opened up and talked about why they choose to sleep apart from their spouse or partner.

1. Sounds reasonable.

“My wife has crazy anxiety dreams and is seriously afraid of noises in the night and that intruders are coming in. She has to sleep with the TV on or something to distract her.

I cannot have any talking noise or I try to pay attention to it.”

2. Snoring problems.

“I know an older couple that have separate rooms.

From what I can tell, they’re very much in love, and very clearly and openly affectionate with each other.

Apparently her snoring is next level. Like, their dog starts barking if he’s nearby.”

3. Total opposites.

“I have a hard time falling asleep without something to distract my brain from thinking.

I usually watch a show/documentary or do some repetitive game on my phone to accomplish this.

She can’t stand the lights from the screen.”

4. Part-timers.

“I can’t go to sleep without a movie to help turn my brain off. My husband hates it.

The minute he turns the tv off, I’m awake. So 3-4 nights a week, I sleep on the couch.

Another reason is our mattress is too soft and kills my back.”

5. On the brink of divorce.

“My husband snores so badly. He’s done two sleep studies and used every nasal strip and spray on the market. Nothing helped. We were honestly on the brink of divorce because of how little sleep we were getting.

But then our kids wanted to get bunk beds and share a room. My husband moved into the spare room, making it his own, also getting his super firm mattress he prefers. Honestly, it saved our marriage.

Sleep is incredibly important. When you are well rested, little things don’t blow up into big things. It seems odd, even to us, but we try not worry too much about it. I’d argue we’re more connected now than we’ve ever been.”

6. It’s a seasonal thing.

“During the Summer I move to another room we call “the wind tunnel”. Basically I have a ceiling fan going almost 24/7 and a window fan above the bed I run from 7pm-8am.

She has allergies and easily gets runny nose and sneezes from any moving air. My body temp will skyrocket and I’ll sweat like crazy in a room devoid of moving air. So she sleeps in a stuffy no air movement master bedroom and I sleep soundly in the Wind Tunnel.

During the winter I move back, cause then I become the ultimate body warmer for her.”

7. See you in the morning.

“I am an absolute terrible person to share a bed with. I snore like a passing semi truck and apparently (I’m told) flail wildly in my sleep. When we first got married I kept waking up to an empty bed. She would join me for an hour until I was asleep, then retreat to the couch.

After a week or two I got fed up and just went to the couch first. Then started several months of us trading off for the couch. Eventually I just went and bought a twin mattress and tossed it in the office. That became my bed. And when we got a bigger house, I just setup in a separate room.”

8. On different schedules.

“Different sleep cycles and work schedules. He wakes up 3 hours before me.

I’m a shift worker. She’s a teacher.”

9. Like The Brady Bunch.

“We blended two households. His bedroom was fully furnished and the furniture and closet were full. It made sense for my stuff to go in a different bedroom.

We started out sleeping in one room or the other but I realized pretty quickly that, if I ever wanted to get a full night’s sleep, it wasn’t going to be in the same bed with him. I’ve been known to call him a sweating, snoring, slant sleeping son-of-a-bitch after a night of his sweating, snoring, and slant sleeping.

We do a “your place or mine” thing for non-sleeping activities but GTO when it’s sleepy time.”

10. What happened last night?

“Sleep cycles and she violently tosses around. I’ve been asked by my commander if I got into a fight when I showed up to duty with a black eye.”

11. Not gonna happen.

“Spouse snores, two 60 pound dogs, and a queen size bed. No room for me and I need dead silence.”

12. A new level.

“My stepmother’s parents took this to a new level.

He built a second house next door. They lived next to each other for 20 years before they both passed in a short amount of time.

It seemed very odd to me, but it worked for them. At least from an outside perspective. I know images never reflect reality.”

13. “It’s been great.”

“We’re both 41, been married 23 years and sleep in different beds. First half of our marriage we always slept in the same bed (of course there was the occasional crying kid who wanted mommy to sleep with them, or falling asleep on the couch or somewhere else).

About ten years ago I spent a year working a midnight shift so I started sleep on our spare bed in the basement. We both realized we had much better sleep separate in our own beds.

After I went back to a day shift we went back to sleeping in the same bed and soon realized sleeping apart was more restful. Over time we bought two full size beds and put them in our bedroom (like the old TV shows). It’s been great.”

14. Saved their marriage.

“My parents do this.

My Mom likes to sleep with the TV on, my Dad snores and steals sheets.

My mother claims sleeping separately saved their marriage.”

Those responses sure are enlightening.

What do you think? Would you stand for sleeping in separate beds? Maybe you do sleep in a different bed than your partner?
