I don't know any stories, but I'm in the same boat. I had a serious relationship that ended when I was 31, and I had been so certain that he was the one, and that we would be getting married in the following year and have kids shortly after.

Oh my god, how horrible for you. Anyone else you can call? If not, can you wrap you're study materials in plastic bags, shove them in a backpack with some other essentials, and get the hell out of there? If you don't feel safe doing that because you are afraid of actually encountering him as you leave, seriously, just…

How old are you? I think that might make a difference—if you're younger (say, twenties, or possibly even early thirties) men be intimidated or just not want to tell with dating someone with kids. However, I suspect that as they get older, they get more accepting...as the pool of available women without children…

I think there's too different things to think about when it comes to tattoo and aging: 1) is it an issue of how the physical changes of aging will alter the tattoo, or is it 2) a concern about feeling weird about being an old person with tattoos that reflect what they wanted at an early time? Regarding 1) I think its…

I agree that her reasoning doesn't seem to have to do with waiting for love...because she mentions being in love, and still not having sex.

Uggh so sorry to hear that. My laptop got stolen during dissertation writing. I had most of it back-up, but I did lose about a week's worth of unbacked up work. Just re-back up everything they recovered a few times, and try to keep trucking.

Blah. I'm feeling rather depressed and lonely... not super-depressed, but the mild depression that indicates that the maintenance/prevention level of meds I'm on is just not cutting it.

I would like to say that deep-dish is pizza, and it is wonderful, and superior to all other types of pizza (but I may be biased because I grew up in Chicago).

I tried Pequod's for the first time last year... I wasn't too impressed. I love my spinach deep dish, but Giordano's, Loumalnatis, and Ginos all do it better. Giordano's is my favorite... I have dreams of that stuff.

Once of the best things about the disney movie is that the music is from the score of the Tchaikovsky ballet!

Any chance you can call off sick to work? If you think so, I think that would be your best bet to try and catch up on sleep and get to the doctor... If not, what I would try doing is putting on something I've watched before, turn the lights off, and give up on sleeping and just try to relax.... sometimes, it's your…

Hey, just wanted to say I've been there before, many many times, and it sucks. I actually really hate that you have to worry about being completely honest with therapists/psychiatrists (and I understand why they have a legal obligation to do something if you talk about wanting to harm yourself, but sometimes it would…

I'm confused about this de-graying... last week my SNS posts were de-grayed, and then everything I wrote was black, and I was so excited! But now I'm back to being in the gray...does de-graying only apply for that day/posting? Or is there a way of being de-grayed permanenently?

Once you have your pear vodka, make a pear elderflower cocktail (pear vodka, st. germain liquor, sparkling wine, and lemon juice). It is magical (extra magical with lavender sugar around the rim).

Context?

Yes, I do, though thankfully it's mostly at bay right now. It absolutely sucks...there was a point last year that I couldn't function without Xanax 24/7. But it can get better...

So sorry! Putting down a pet is the worst :( Hugs!

I haven't, maybe I should give it a try... but I worry even watching bad doggies will make miss mine (who was definitely a problem child at times).

I am looking at doggies at petfinder even though I really shouldn't... I just put my doggy down a few months ago, and am not ready for another one. I also want to wait until I'm at a more settled point, and am living in a home more suitable for a dog (my current apt is small). BUT.... I miss having a dog so much, and…

All I have to say regarding him is, what an asshole... that level of insensitivity is worthy of a de-friending. I don't think you're crazy for expecting/being disappointed by other friends lack of comment/support, but maybe they just don't want to risk getting involved in a facebook argument with him... I know in the…
