Oh, i agree with you. I do think that people need to realize that just because a person has money doesn't make it easier for them to admit to themselves that they need help. It makes it easy to access but people with issues say that you have to want it to get it. Hopefully he is at that point now.

I think you mean a few at most, not a lot. If you truly think that is what most commenters are saying, then I think you're suffering from a major reading comprehension failure.
"Love language?" What? Is this a euphemism you have invented to make gift-grabbing look less vulgar?
Oh good grief, you silly child. What an example of the pot calling the kettle black.
I don't think one could compare those occasions. A baby shower's very purpose to to give gifts. A wedding or retirement party's purpose is not.
Dude have you been reading the thread? No one on this thread seems selfish or miserly. Sometimes people really just can't afford it, that's all we are saying. They were also saying that you shouldn't demand or expect gifts that's all.
I think it is acceptable to attend any celebration, except a shower, without a gift. Etiquette books by Miss Manners and Emily Post have taught me this. I've read that even if you believe wedding presents are required, you have a year to send them. Bringing a gift to wedding seems a bit tacky and cheap to me. You…
Again, I disagree.
I know these people who are graduating/having babies/etc. I know what their desires, interests, and tastes are. They know me, and they know our financial position.
Thoughtfulness can take *many* forms. It doens't have to be an object to be appropriate, loving, and giving.
Obviously, gifts are your "love language."
To me, a gift — even on major holidays and my birthday — are a burden. I'm a minimalist. Gifts seriously freak me out. On the one hand, I totally love that you love me and want to give me things that you bought or made. But, being a minimalist — as in, hard freaking core…
Assume no one gives a shit about your wedding.
Oh thank god I was hoping that's what "Doug says" meant.
Peter Dinklage shows up as an effeminate barista with an unpronounceable name and a poet’s mustache.
I went from "yeah, I don't need to see that" to "well, now I have to see that" in seconds.

Every time Chris Brown opens his mouth, I want to drive him to the nearest therapist and lock him in the office.
Statutory rape is rape. Acting like it's a lesser thing is problematic.
Chris Brown has a singular talent for making it impossible to sympathize with him even if he’s recounting a vaguely traumatic incident from his childhood. You know, like that time he lost his virginity to teenage girl. When he was eight.
I have known a couple of guys who started having sex with girls their own age at 12 or 13 and they were both emotionally stunted and incapable of understanding that there is more to a relationship than sex. Perhaps this is a window into the unfortunate personality of Mr. Brown. and he should probably talk to a…
I don't think this shows how he himself is unpleasant (though of course he really is quite the unpleasant person), but rather that he has internalized what was statutory rape.
