Should your partner be your best friend?

Psychologist Eli Finkel describes in "The All-or-Nothing Marriage" growing expectations placed on relationships — partners seek not just love but also support for personal growth and ambition. While calling a partner your best friend sounds natural, placing so many demands on one person can be a significant burden. Experts note that healthy relationships should not crowd out other friendships and sources of support in life.

Should your partner also be your best friend?

Towels smell musty after washing? Humid bathroom is the problem

Towels stored in a small, poorly ventilated bathroom absorb moisture and quickly develop a musty odor. The best place to store them is a well-aired wardrobe in the bedroom, hallway, or dressing room. When there is no wardrobe space, open shelves and wicker or steel baskets work well. Excess moisture can be absorbed by baking soda, salt, or rice placed in an open container.

Do you keep towels outside the bathroom?

Gynecologist: adult women need not justify not wanting children

Gynecologist Łukasz Ciastoń posted on Instagram criticizing social pressure on childless women. He listed typical comments they face: "Maybe you'll change your mind?", "You'll regret it", "Who will take care of you in old age?". The doctor stressed that his role is limited to discussing fertility and contraception, not imposing a vision of life on patients. He called for treating a conscious decision against motherhood as seriously as the decision to have children.

Are women without children treated unfairly by society?

Stay for the kids? Psychologists: more often a mistake than sacrifice

Many women remain in unhappy relationships believing they protect their children from the effects of divorce. Anna (52) spent 27 years of marriage postponing her decision to leave — first waiting for her daughter's high school graduation, then her son's university studies. When the children grew up and moved out, she started therapy and filed for divorce. Psychologists point out that staying in an empty relationship "for the children" is often fear of loneliness rather than genuine concern for offspring.

Is it worth staying in an unhappy relationship for the sake of the children?

Aleksandra Kwaśniewska: childlessness is a choice, not selfishness

Aleksandra Kwaśniewska, wife of musician Kuba Badach, spoke openly in the "All Inclusive" program on HelloZdrowie about life without children. She said that having a child would mean undergoing a "period of mourning for her freedom." She pointed to the harmful stereotype that childless women are "too comfortable, lazy and self-centered." She emphasized that decisions about parenthood are individual matters and should not be subject to judgment from others.

Should society stop pressuring childless women?

Refrigerator magnets do not harm appliances, manufacturers have no objections

Magnets on refrigerators do not damage electronics, disrupt the thermostat, or raise electricity bills — this is a myth without basis in physics. Weak magnetic fields from vacation gadgets cannot penetrate the steel housing and insulation layer. Appliance manufacturers do not prohibit hanging decorations in instruction manuals. The only risk is scratching the paint when sliding sharp objects across the door.

Do you put magnets on your refrigerator?

Lawyer warns: standard prenuptial agreement may leave you with nothing

Attorney Magdalena Grześkowiak cautions women against signing a standard prenuptial agreement—separate property—which after divorce may leave the spouse who sacrificed career for family with nothing. In the typical scenario, a woman forgoes promotions and raises children while her husband builds wealth that becomes solely his after divorce. The lawyer recommends instead separate property with asset equalization—providing financial independence during marriage and fair division of accumulated wealth upon separation.

Should separate property with asset equalization be the standard instead of a simple prenuptial agreement?

Blunt-cut hair without thinning can add volume to fine hair

Hairdressers increasingly recommend geometric blunt-cutting without thinning for people with fine hair. A uniform, straight edge creates stable support for strands and gives the impression of greater density than layers. It works especially well for women with straight or slightly wavy hair who want a style requiring less styling. The effect lasts for many weeks after a salon visit.

Is blunt-cutting without thinning a better choice for fine hair than layers?

Clogged shower drain: five drops of liquid, baking soda and vinegar

A clogged shower drain can be cleared with a chemical-free homemade mixture. Pour 5 drops of liquid into a bowl, add 4 tablespoons of baking soda and pour in 50–100 ml of vinegar, cover the drain with a cloth for 15 minutes, then flush with hot water. For prevention, sprinkle citric acid or baking soda weekly and pour hot water over it.

Are homemade drain-cleaning methods more effective than chemical cleaners?

Clients can be aggressive, drunk, or indifferent to children — they drop them from their laps and leave swearing between shots. Social media shows only retouched, idyllic photos hiding puffy eyes and red noses.

She notes that Poles fear contact with elderly people, and requests for warm blankets hide deeper emotional needs. She appeals for care homes to open their doors and for society to pay greater attention to seniors.

Motherhood destroys women's careers: "They work nights to prove their worth"

After returning from maternity leave, women often must re-prove their value and competence instead of reclaiming their previous position. Business psychologist Magda Maroń describes a case of a woman who, trying to balance work and motherhood, developed a condition requiring psychiatric treatment. Pressure to demonstrate full availability leads to serious health problems.
