That's so not right. Glad they didn't stay together long. There's nothing like that "soulmate" who tries to change you. :|

So, the therapist suggested he stay with a manipulative, controlling gf and procreate with her? headdesk headdesk headdesk

Exactly. I've been verbally punished or called "stupid" for having feelings or a different opinion. Never again.

Colds are the worst! Here are my anti-cold weapons:

That sounds awful! I'm glad it's over for you and hope you feel better ASAP.

Serious question— how is it fake? Are there any external links that disprove anything? Some of those photos look awfully similar, but I know next to nothing about the fashion biz. Still fascinating.

Why is it so horrible if a guy won't have period sex?

Nope, I hear you sister. :)

'MuRICaaa!

PREACH!

You do you. As long as it's flattering and not a rash decision it should be fine.

Does anyone have any tips for belly button piercing? Home or at a pro place? How do I know if they are clean?

Hugs, and enjoy all the things your ex hated. I personally like indulging in makeup looks and nail colors they hated but I always loved. ;)

Yes! The last one with the excessive LOLs was a riot.

I needed a happy story. Thank you. :) I love the feeling where someone you admire admires you as well.

Explain that you need alone time to recharge, despite enjoying her company. You could do this by talking about your introvert tendencies, and how social time with anyone all the time will drain you. Let her know that you're there for her, but between your household chores, work, academics (or whatever you do), and…

Relax (easier said than done, I know). It could be a variety of things, see here (sorry it's not very scientific): http://m.wisegeek.org/what-causes-le… and http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/essenti… . I don't know much about this condition (or i I I'm it restless legs syndrome?), but I'm doubting it's a brain tumor.…

Like someone else said, talking this out with a therapist can help make sense of things. I also recommend the book Should I Stay or Should I Go? By Lundy Bancroft .

You weren't expecting too much. He shouldn't have agreed to be in a relationship if he couldn't handle monogamy. You can do so much better. Hugs if you want them.
