Support for your partner can take many forms, and standing up for them is one of the most profound. Whether the situation is minor or major, having your loved one by your side, stepping in for you, is undoubtedly one of the best expressions of love. A TikTok account, @ieinbesties_, managed by Stephanie Ramirez and Vanessa Cazarez, shared a heartwarming example that highlights the importance of defending your loved ones whenever possible.

During one of their episodes, the hosts featured a clip from @thedesirabletruth showing a couple being interviewed. The interviewer casually asked the couple questions about their married life and how they met. At one point, he inquired about the cost of the wife's wedding ring, to which the husband replied $35,000. Turning to the wife, the interviewer then asked, "He spent that much on a wedding ring for you as a gesture. What do you do for him?" The husband was clearly displeased with his wife being put on the spot with such a question.

Taking the mic, he stepped up for his wife and said, "I think I can answer that question." Without giving it much thought, he immediately said, "I get a partner that's loyal, I get the mother of my children. I get the most beautiful woman that I've ever been around." He further highlighted more abstract gestures that one notices only out of pure gratitude and love. "The most important thing is how she treats me and my family and her family. So, for me, I have a partner for life," he said. Throughout his words, his wife could not help but look at him in awe, knowing she'd found her Mr. Perfect. He concluded by saying, "It's worth every investment there is."

The man's generosity and empathetic nature were widely praised by Instagram users. @gulnarshideh commented, "He raised the standards drastically." Meanwhile, @blackpeoplewhoswim focused on the deep connection visible between the couple, noting, "The look. It's not about the money or location. It is the look."

Though he had already won his wife's heart, the man's gesture also resonated with internet users. The podcast hosts discussed how he highlighted abstract qualities rather than materialistic ones, which are often overlooked. They were charmed by his recognition of a woman's contributions and the value she brings to a relationship.


"I thought that was so good the way he defended her," one of the hosts remarked. She continued, "That was a genuine man right there. Confident in his protecting and loving energy towards his wife." The comment section was filled with positive responses. Many were astonished by the man's kindness and understanding, stepping up with a gesture worth millions. @daisyy.5 noted, "The way she looks at him, she knows she picked the right one." @babyphino added, "She fell in love with him again right there." Indeed, love is about the small, often overlooked abstract things.

10 years later, the dress is still dividing the internet—and TikTok is obsessed

If there’s one viral phenomenon that proved the internet’s ability to divide and unite us, it’s The Dress. Jason Pargin’s recent TikTok revisiting the optical illusion has reignited the internet’s obsession nearly a decade later, with 3.3 million views and counting. The video goes into the photo’s origins, its viral spread, and its strange aftermath.In the video, Pargin recounts the story of how The Dress first took over the internet in February 2015. "It all started with a very simple question," he explains. "What color do you think this dress is?" The viral photo revealed an even split between people who saw blue and black and those who insisted it was white and gold.

"This all happened because a woman was at a dress shop looking for something to wear to her daughter's wedding," Pargin says. "She took a picture of this dress and sent it to her saying, ‘What do you think?’ The dress is blue and black in real life, but it was her daughter—the very first person to ever see the photo—who said, ‘Oh, so you're wearing white and gold?’"

Woman dyes hair gray to protest strict work dress code, her boss wasn't happy

Often, workplace dress codes are arbitrarily prohibitive and strict, designed to suppress self-expression and honestly just make things harder for employees. So I'm always excited when I read a story of someone who found a way to defy the dress code without technically breaking any rules.

This is one such story. But not only is it about a woman who found a way to express herself while remaining within the confines of her company's dress code. It's also about a woman who cleverly outwitted her pious coworker in the process. And that's priceless.

Rare twins with different skin tones show beauty in diversity

Kalani and Jarani Dean are not your average set of twins. Kalani was born with light skin, while her sister Jarani has a darker complexion. Their mother, Whitney Meyer, who is white, and their father, Tomas Dean, who is Black, were equally astonished by the girls' differing skin tones. Their story highlights the beauty of racial diversity and the importance of love and unity.

"Kalani was as white as can be. I was just in denial because you know the odds of this? I would never think I would have a black and white twin. That's why I asked if she was albino because she was just so white," Whitney shared with TODAY.
