I'm so sorry to read your story. I think it's the saddest one here. If it makes you feel any better, you are not the first person I've heard of who had a strange, sexless honeymoon and yet stuck it out for over a decade in the strange, sexless marriage that followed.

in my circle, registry info goes on your shower invite ONLY and you don't throw your own shower, either your bridesmaids or othe female relatives do. I can actively hear my Gram turning in her grave at the notion of putting registry info on a wedding invitation or save the date card.

"That, in fact, is the entire point: specific economics aside, no matter what a couple asks for as a wedding gift, you should shut right the hell up and give it to them. Alternatively, you're welcome to just decline your wedding invite altogether. "

A registry is nice because it gives ideas to people who would like to give you a gift. Heck, info about the registry can even be included on the wedding website — AS LONG AS it's clear that there are NO expectations. No one owes you a gift at all, and if they give you one, they are doing a generous kindness, not…

Yeah, but as long as I've been alive, people have been putting registry info on their invites/save-the-dates, so, first of all, this is not a hill on which dying will do any good, and second, if social obligation is such that I'm expected to give a gift anyhow, then by all means fucking ask for what you want, because…

"specific economics aside, no matter what a couple asks for as a wedding gift, you should shut right the hell up and give it to them."

Yeah, but a lot of times guys will say they're into eating pussy, then find reasons not to, or to do it really badly and refuse to take direction, then still expect a cookie for their time. I mean, if a woman blowing a guy started biting at him and refused to stop, you wouldn't hear people telling the guy that he…

I don't think she's being selfish. She's setting out that she 1) doesn't do BJs, and 2) will only date a man that gives her oral sex. Nothing wrong with setting up some relationship parameters, like you said.

Why is it a surprise that an elderly man and his 40-plus years younger former co-host aren't friends? But no, it has to be because Kelly is secretly a raging asshole. With Regis and Kathie Lee, Regis is the same age as Kathie's husband, it's not surprising why they might be close.

Good luck with menopause, Angie. It is kicking my ass. It's weird - there's a feeling of mortality that sets in. It suddenly becomes clear that, once you're done with the reproductive age, nature doesn't give a shit about you anymore. You can say that 50 is the new 30, but you can feel that is a lie.

He looks like he's about to star in a Lifetime biopic about Karl Lagerfeld.

It looks to me like the stock photo food stylist used lime sherbet for that one...

I don't know why people don't seem to understand this, but you cannot diagnose anorexia just based on someone's appearance. Or any eating disorder for that matter.

Except if you're flying. In that case, carry on.

Or it could be because George, a man in his fifties, is tired of all-night partying.

I did that once, too, though it was a service dog in training; there was no disabled person at the table. The little sweetie didn't even bark at me, just let out this faint, pitiful yelp. I still feel bad about it, over ten years later. Shit, the dog probably isn't even alive anymore.

You know you're old when this sentence could not possibly apply to your life: "you're out at the club on Saturday night and suddenly it's not 2 am—it's 3 am"

UVM would be my guess...

this confused me, especially because I used to read "Tagalog" (the language) as "Tagalong" the cookie and be all WUT? Up until I was like 13.

I work for the state. They are all "Sorry, can't give you a raise, not even COLA. We need that money to fund studies to figure out why people are leaving government jobs for the private sector."
