I would email him, CC his boss, and say that he just lost a sale by refusing to deal with you.

I just made the realization that at my company, the big shots with kids all have stay-at-home spouses or their spouses have low pressure jobs, as well as nannies. This is true for the small number of women at that level. It came up because one woman was basically told her career was stalled because she made it clear…

I can’t even imagine.

The majority of infected people never even get the bullseye.

How are you doing now?

I had it, caught it early, in about six weeks, and it was awful. Thank god I got the bullseye, but once I acknowledged I was sick, I collapsed and couldn’t get out of bed for two days until the antibiotics started kicking in. I can’t even begin to imagine what it’s like for people going through that for months, the…

I'm also a sucker for forging bonds between the guests and the couple, which is kind of the point. Getting married was a more transformative and profound experience than I anticipated and while a few people came for the party, most people came to witness and celebrate this rite. It was important for us to strengthen…

Got married in my late 30s and we didn't need anything so we didn't register and kind of did a word of mouth thing that gifts weren't expected (but no mention of gifts on the website, etc.). Older people had a really hard time with that, and in retrospect, I wish we had made a small registry for people who really…

We didn't register because we had everything we needed and felt like people could give nothing, or cash would be useful. And the older folks flipped out, leaving my mom to field calls from panicking people who wanted to give gifts but not cash. We told a category of thing we wouldn't mind upgrading, but in…

One shower gift, regardless of how many showers she's having, or even how many you are attending.

We sent thank you notes to everyone who attended our wedding, whether they gave a gift or not, and very few people who traveled did give gifts. Honestly, we were so touched that they went through all the trouble and expense to be there for us.

I was MOH at a wedding in a different city, where the other members of the bridal party were in town and organized the bachelorette at a bar/club. I/we expected to cover the bulk of the cost of the drinks and champagne, but as I went to close out at the end of the night, I discovered that as they left, the other…

They probably overslept and missed that massage.

I have an issue with honeyfunds and I'm not entirely sure why, but I think it's threefold:

Your adherence to my literals examples is confounding this conversation. My husband and I argue very rarely (about once a year, a bit more when we first got serious and needed to hammer stuff out), but that doesn't mean we don't have conflicting wants where one of us not going to get what we want. And that's FINE. …

I don't understand why people aren't getting this. There are always binary decisions that a couple makes, where one person will get what s/he wants and the other doesn't. It doesn't mean that every couple approaches those issues in the same way, but these things do arise.

Trust me, I'm speaking as someone who argues with my husband once to twice a year (and then about big stuff), because one of us concedes before the argument even starts, but there are always situations where one half of a couple gets to do something and the other doesn't. There are certain binary situations. Either…

What about in arguments like where you're going to go for the holidays, or something where there isn't a compromise option? You either have to do what you want or what she wants?

I think "winning an argument" means "gets what he wanted."

What would help me more is an article on how to answer loaded questions like "does this dress make me look fat" when it simply isn't a flattering dress on ANYONE.
