I had a friend like that way back. If I said I was taking piano lesson, she was a concert pianist. me: dating a lawyer her: mafia don. me: high blood pressure her: barely detectable pulse. Finally one day I looked her straight in the eye and said “I flew warplanes for the RAF during WWII”

I am truly sorry that you had such terrible losses, especially one right after another.

My best friend in high school, who I’ll call Dave, turned into a completely different person once we graduated, causing me to finally just say, “Fuck this, I’m done.”

Good for you! I had a toxic friendship that I ended a few years ago and I can tell you, it is 100% worth it to cut your losses.

I totally know how that feels. Breaking up with a friend can be hard, like a regular breakup, but it’s harder to explain away. Sometimes, though, it’s the best thing.

I’ve had to drop several “low communicators.” In the day of email, text, Twitter DM, Skype, FaceTime, SnapChat, Google chat (or hangouts or whatever it’s become) there’s just no excuse even for the extremely phone-phobic to ghost-by-convenience in friendships. I do understand that sometimes when people are very…

I could do with that grilled cheese! I watched a friend of mine deal with a very similar situation. This girl was brilliant at first impressions, but your drama had nothing on hers! It was awful in some ways, I could see how it was really knocking my friends confidence, but at the time I was the new friend and didn’t…

Oh man, that’s awful! I’m so sorry that happened to you!

I dumped a friend earlier this week. Someone who I’ve always had a great time with, but over the last few months has become really dismissive and all these small (in)actions have snowballed and left me more and more upset. The worst part for me us that I considered her a really good friend, and tried to talk about…

She called me yesterday to work out what to say on the card. “We’ve donated to XYZ Charity on you and new husband’s behalf, because we figured you two already have everything you need! Love, Stitty and Stitty’s MIL”

My MIL’s friend is getting remarried in August. They’re both in their 50s, have fully grown children, two homes full of crap and they have a wedding registry. IT’S HUGE. Four different stores!!! And it’s full of ridiculously expensive shit, like a $700 sous vide machine (not joking). My MIL has “forbidden” me from…

This! I had a coworker plan are really pretty, very intimate destination wedding. NBD until she gushed and gushed about how it was just her closest friends and family, but then wanted all of us gals to attend her shower so badly that she CHANGED THE DATE to a weekend we could all go. And then on top of it, it was a…

Ok what about a shower where the bride is ONLY having her parents/future in-laws/siblings at the wedding? Then on a blog that features her wedding she makes a big deal about wanting “only the people that have been near and dear to her” at her wedding? Tacky.

Is it possible that this was not the idea of the bride and groom but by someone in the wedding party like the maid of honor - traditionally charged with throwing the shower? It does say that the checks will be put in a box, wrapped and presented to the bride and groom - I just can’t imagine anyone saying to their…

Actually, the thing Tina Fey shared with the world, as far as music goes, is her husband.

“Daddy’s Boy” is up there with “Werewolf Bar Mitzvah” as far as things Tina Fey shared with the world, thus making it better go.

Miley Cyrus...naked...with a pig.

And now I’ll tell you all about me, because I have a (somewhat) similar story. Since my younger sister and I were little, everything in our family has been about her. The question “How will Amy’s Younger Sister feel about this?” runs through my mom’s mind I’d guess at least once a day, even though we’re now in our…

and i would walk 500 miles and i would walk 500 more, just to be the man who walked 4,349 to fall down at your door gasping "please marry me, i am so desperate for attention"

Someone should tell that dude about microsoft paint.
