I completely agree with this. It's the guys who spend the first few dates telling you how AMAZING you are and how DIFFERENT from other women that end up suddenly becoming disappointed by you when you turn out not to be pedestal-worthy, but are actually a real, flawed human. And when you disappoint them, all bets are…

If you're on the fence, and you really don't want to stay home any more...it's okay not to have another baby. My kid is eleven now, and some of my friends are *still* having babies, in their 40's, and I'll admit that my reaction is LOL WTF NOPE!

"Drowsy but awake" is a fucking joke. It's not just him. And in general, do not worry about sleep habits with a seven week old. He is still teeny tiny, in that "fourth trimester", and his sleep patterns will change so much. Try to tune the scare tactics out. And yes, cluster feeding ends at some point. Just not yet.…

If he's weirding you out then end it. You don't have to stay with someone because he's not. I don't like guys who get so intense so quickly. I think it's a red flag.

In my experience, men who fall in "love" too quickly (from your explanation, I trust your spidey senses telling you he's moving too fast on the emotional front) often fall out of it just as quickly. So don't feel too bad for him if you want to flee (I've also noticed OkC guys do this more than the avg IRL guy, no idea…

I have one story that I'm too embarrassed about to admit to here (or even with my therapist) where I swayed my morals to get ahead at work. It EATS me up inside. You did the right thing. You'll know because I bet this doubt will leave your head sooner than later.

If he's making you uncomfortable, that's the most important thing, right? Sure he might be a nice guy, and maybe he's just a little romantically awkward, but if you aren't comfortable around him now, it may only get worse. You seem pretty cool—drop him, and I'm sure the rest of us will start lining up. And yes, there…

I think the key is to have friends who enjoy cooking. I've done potlucks before and they have gotten incredibly over the top because everyone wanted to outdo the others.

Nah- you trusted your first instinct, and that's the right call. If it was borderline racist, you really don't want that associated with your name: the internet has a long memory, and it realistically could very much affect whether a future client considers you for a job. Professionally and morally it definitely…

The easiest way to plan a non-hassle potluck is to be super straight up with people about what is needed. IE "Hey guys, for next week's Potluck I need 3 apps, 1 big salad, and 2 entree-type things. I'm handling drinks but if someone could get ice that would be great too. Please let me know what you want to bring when…

Unfortunately that's the parallax: if it didn't cost anything – money and opportunity, in this case – to make ethical decisions, everyone would make ethical decisions.

Oh I am with you all the way! I am a complete introvert, and I even get thrown off a bit if my guy doesn't go out to his weekly gaming group as usual. I feel like I love privacy, and the quiet to be thinking about whatever I choose, and the absolute confidence that I am in charge of myself and nobody else.

I have been in the same situation. Call YOUR insurance immediately. One of THEIR jobs is to go to bat for you. ( I had to go to court and my insurance had a person there for me that day with a file containing pics of the intersections, our cars, the angles of things-she was so helpful and AMAZING-we won, easily) Go to…

A few months ago, I turned down a plum graphic design commission because the client's idea made me uncomfortable. (It was just racist enough that racist people would deny that it was racist.) Yesterday, I found out that one of my coworkers had ended up doing that commission, made some good money and had no regrets.…

Okay, so...

Tablespoon of castor oil ought to get you going. The explosive shits might dislodge your guest as well.

You need a homemade laxative recipe, girl.

Not unless you're worthy or whatever term it is they use, I think. And if you are, I don't think you get to talk about it.

I'd be upset too if I were bride three. I wouldn't want to have the worst sex of my life on what was supposed to be a good day. My memories of that first time include thinking to myself, "this is bloody, unpleasurable, and outrageously painful. What was everyone on about?" If that happened after what was supposed to…

I guess so; I'm Canadian so I forget these things.
