How about ghosters grow a fucking pair and just relay what the problem is or that you just don’t want to date anymore? After that initial explanation you don’t have to talk any fucking more but have some fucking decency you ass wipes.

I guess it depends on region, because the girls in my school weren’t targeted for their dress anymore than the boys were. The boys’ dress code was in some ways less sexualized (hats were far more a problem among boys than girls), but there were similar rules like “Jeans must hang above the hips (nobody wants to see…

So I’m a bitch in that I don’t think crop tops should be allowed in school, aren’t I? For the record, I don’t think those weird giant-armhole-shirt-things lots of bros wear to the gym should be school-allowed, either; I am all for “I don’t want to see your skin between your shoulders and your knees unless we’re going…

I’m gonna go nuclear on this one: Uniforms for all students.

Right? Maybe I am an Old but I’m on the school’s side on this one. A sliver of midriff is one thing but asking students of both genders to wear shirts is hardly a draconian rule.

but the reality is that males go topless whereas females can’t even wear crop tops.

It seemed like in the original poll post there were quite a few people saying they regret having so many bridesmaids because they either 1) caused drama or 2) didn't help enough/didn't throw parties for them/complained about costs/etc.

Jez posted an article a few weeks ago about "maintenance sex" and I posted that maintenance sex is really all I do with my husband because of my health issues. A few commenters said I should allow him to pursue sex outside our relationship and I made it clear that I absolutely would not be ok with that. Some people…

I agree.

It's weird but reading everyone's posts made me feel weirdly... lonely? Like, are me and my husband the only 2 monogamous people left on the internet? Obviously other people's sex lives have no bearing on me or my marriage, but I had no idea we were the last of a dying breed. Makes me feel even older than I usually…

oh well don't you know? Jealousy is a societal construct! And we need to show empathy for people who cheat. Ugh. I trust that you have a good opinion of Lily based on prior comments but I have to say her comments on this post really rub me the wrong way. I know I tend to run my mouth off here and it gets me in…

if your spouse gives you an ultimatum of "let me sleep around, get well now, or divorce" then it's perfectly logical to see a sex worker to cope with the humiliation

I also have a chronic illness, and this article enraged me. No, I would not be cool with a partner deciding to cheat on me months after I got ill, me finding out, then me being given an ultimatum that either I go along with the cheating or get dumped. This is just such a sucky corner this woman has backed her husband…

My wife and I have been together for 10 years, married for 4. My wife has a form of muscular dystrophy that, while not preventing us from having sex, reliant on me for essentially everything, from providing food to rolling over at night. She came across the article and was just abhorrent because it hit so close to…

The problem with cheating is more than the act of having sex with another person. It's the lying, the deceitfulness, sneaking around, and treating someone you're suppose to love and have taken vows with like they don't matter. So, no, I have no empathy for people like that.

It sort of makes it sound like illness is a totally acceptable reason to cheat. That kind of blows my mind. I have an illness right now that has left me physically unable to do a lot of what I did before. I already feel horrible guilt about how this has affected the lives of everyone in my family. The last thing I…

I understand where you're coming from too. It's easy as an outsider to just think, "They're ignorant, they were shocked and uncomfortable, they might have thought they were doing the right thing." Obviously their daughter didn't think that (and couldn't have been expected to), and she suffered their discomfort for…

I know her family didn't understand her and didn't respect her gender identity, but they have lost their child. Some humanity and respect for their grief is called for.
