I am in this precise situation, except I'm now in my late 30's. My last relationship was also supposed to be "the one" until it went down like the Hindenburg, only with less humanity and more inanity.

I have a great story! A friend of mine dated a guy all through college and her professional years. At 28, they became engaged. He bought a house. She got rid of her apartment and most of her crappy furniture, moved into his house. On the second day of unpacking, he came home from work and said "I don't think I…

Was sexually harrassed by my landlord/flatmate yesterday (who just before it revealed that he went to court over sexual assault charges by his ex). Have been locked up in my room ever since (considered peeing in a bottle, but went to the bathroom around 3 am and quickly brushed my teeth, and got new water supplies).…

Hmm. As a 37-year-old virgin, I guess I identify, but it does sound like she's had real regrets about not having sex with a few men in her life. I've gone back and forth over unhappiness about my virginity, but in the past year plus of trying to date casually and just get rid of it, I've realized that I really DON'T…

Does anyone have stories of women (yourself, or others) who managed to find love in their 30s? Love which resulted in serious relationships/marriage/families? I know this is stupid but I am turning 30 soon, and recently had a very serious relationship go up in flames. This was supposed to be "the one", and it was…

Did Henry Cavill die? Because that's the only way he's not the sexiest man alive.

FINALLY, somebody brought up Giordano's, the king of deep dish pizza.

Wow you non-Chicagoans really spend a lot of time disparaging our delicious pizza.

WE ARE CHICAGO AND OUR PIZZA IS KING

Here is the thing, for a woman, control over her own body and reproductive system is the most important economic issue. The ability of a woman to control the number, timing, and circumstaances under which her children are born are the most important factors in securing her economic future. Republicans who scream at me…

Need there only be one scumbag in this affair? He's a cheater. Cheating hurts his wife and kids. She's the mistress. Her being party to the cheating hurts her lover's wife and kids. Both are responsible for the pain they inflict and are equally worthy of being called scumbags.

Disagree wholeheartedly. Not fucking married (or otherwise committed) people is basic social contract stuff. Everyone knows how much being cheated on hurts a person. Anyone with a shred of decency won't make him or herself party to that.

If a uterus begins gathering cobwebs at 26, then at 43 mine is mummified and I'm wondering if I should start shoving treasure up there because an ancient tomb isn't a proper ancient tomb without some treasure.

you guys. It seems like fucking everyone I know is getting engaged, or married, or pregnant, and I'm FUCKING OVER IT. I'm not ready for that level of adulthood. I don't know if I'm even jealous, more just sad about growing up, feeling stressed out, feeling inadequate because I'm not even in a relationship and I…

Anyone else out there have PTSD? Feeling very alone right now. :(

Throwing myself a pity party tonight with leftover Halloween candy because I had to put my 5 year old cat to sleep today, very unexpectedly. So sad.

Have you tried watching the Dog Whisperer? The Mr. and I had put our kitten down a few months ago and I was searching for baby kittens on pet finder last night. Then I found "My Cat from Hell" last night and Marathoned it all night until I fell asleep. Great show!

So with the Auckland rapists thing, a lot of women in New Zealand are sharing their rape and sexual assault stories in an effort to show that rape culture is real and it's here and that it happens to all sorts of women and that there are reasons women and girls blame themselves and don't go to the police.
When I shared…

Oh my god, look up the original window displays. These mannequins do NOT do them justice.

Or the fact that part of their paper is written in dark grey or blue font rather than black. Googling that section quickly turns up where they copied it from. (Yes, multiple students have been that lazy.)
