OMG. So much sex with Adorable Computer Programmer all weekend. I need to get on the Ron and Tammy II sex diet—Gatorade and peanuts (actually, lamb vindaloo and coconut water). He slept at chez moi Tues, Wed, Fri, and Sat night this week. My pseudo-ex would control the amount of time we spent together in order to…

BUT YOGA PANTS ARE WAY CLASSIER AND DRESSIER THAN SWEATPANTS! COME ON!

I take a low dose of Macrobid whenever I have sex. And I haven't had a UTI since. I used to get 3-4 per year.

THANK YOU! I take a super low dose of non cipro non sulfa antibiotics after sex. Works. Peeing after sex and wiping front to back doesn't.

A lot of it is physiology. The women in my family all get them. We probably have a particularly short urethra or something. I get them bad—I have to take a small dose of antibiotics everytime I have sex. It sounds shitty, but it is better than taking 2-3 courses of cipro each year.

My UTIs come on so quickly and so strong that sometimes I have to go to the ER.

My mom got married to my dad even though they just wanted to cohabitate because it was considered too out-there.

I think there was a third. I think you get a 39 year cat marriage.

It's implied. You think you should get presents because you chose not to cohabitate. I am sure you don't mean it that way, but that is how is comes off.

Cloth diapers made from lentil fiber. Duh.

When I had my bridal shower, we passed around diapers full of lentils and you had to guess whether they were red, green, or regular. And the cake was made of lentils. And we all just ate BBQed lentils and drank lentil beer outside as we celebrated my liberal life choices and my awesome socially-consciousness.

Enjoy your shower—there's nothing wrong with that. But don't get all high and mighty about not cohabitating. It's great that you found an arrangement that works for you, but you don't deserve to be celebrated for that choice nor do you deserve nice things more than anyone else. Showers are to celebrate people…
