Uh-huh. Yup. All around fun times with emotional withholding for waaaaay too friggin long. I get so mad at myself for it but oh well, lesson learned!

And yessssss! It is SO the best and I thought the same thing. I was very open to him in the beginning with “This is what I’ve been in for 6+ years and it’s messed me up…

Oh.my.word. That is 9 levels of psychotic right there. At least my ex had the ability to admit he knew it was odd and often just said “That’s who I am. Oh well.”

Amen sista! I used to be in a relationship with someone who told me that if he was physically affectionate then I would expect it all the time. Like I was asking for something so unattainable? *sigh*

I’m so happy you found your super cuddler too!

I like sharing a bed with my spouse, but I also like having a fair amount of space when I sleep. I think this could probably be solved with a king size bed when we have enough $$$, rather than sleeping apart though.

I feel like I’m the only person in the comments who would feel uncomfortable sleeping separately although I don’t have any extenuating circumstances like snoring, work schedules, etc etc.

See, I love sharing (don’t get to that often, though, so probably not all that qualified to answer) BUT. Why do dudes tangle up the sheets/kick them down to the foot of the bed? I am a very organized sleeper.

It’s the telling, not the spelling.

DH is worse. The DH has ruined the purity of the game. This is why National League baseball is the truest form of the game.

Parent to friend:“Oh by the way, I can go to Margarita Monday with you. The DH, Big Papi, is watching the kids tonight!”

I wish DH stood for Designated Hitter in this context. It would make peoples’ posts much more interesting. Especially saying things like “DH is watching the kids tonight,” because I just picture David Ortiz stopping by to babysit.

Only marginally better than the time Anakin Skywalker opened a Montessori school.

Yeah that attitude is the most annoying crap ever. I have lost friends because they were annoyed I never wanted to pick up chicks at the bar. I’m sorry the woman I’ve loved since college is my best friend and I have no interest in other women.

This is one of the biggest pet peeves I had when my wife and I were engaged. Seemingly every male I encountered, including our wedding vendors, would say some garbage quip along the lines of, “Don’t do it, buddy” or “Learn to just nod and say, ‘yes, dear.’” It would make me seethe. Just because you hate your wife…

I’m 28 and mostly feel like an adult. I still have moments of ‘huh...why the hell am I buying kitchen cabinets?’ (Answer: because sufficient kitchen storage is CRITICAL); but yep, I’m an adult. A Woman, no less.

That 26 year old sounds like a real creep. If the only person he can attract is a 17 year old, that person has problems.

This is my wife’s #1 pet peeve while watching games with me. No matter what brilliant shenanigans Steph pulls off, she yips about the mouth guard. (#2 pet peeve - my attempts at “illegal hand checks”)

You’ve got to admire the inventor of coffee, ‘cause damn if it isn’t a VERY counter-intuitive thing. Like:

I guess I can’t blame someone for failing to taste the difference between shit coffee and shit coffee.

I love how white men that claim to live in fear of ‘government tyranny’ and believe that it is righteous to rebel against it are the first ones to insist that all black people should strictly obey every police officer like a submissive dog.
