Last Sunday my husband told me he wants to move out. He needs to be single and figure out what he wants in life. After months of couples therapy and ten years together, there's nothing else I can do. I can't make him stay married to me. Now I'm applying for jobs in different cities, since I only moved to this town for…

I really need to vent. I'm hungover and heartbroken and feeling ridiculously stupid.

I've had a MUCH better week this week. Death Cold (tm) had me in its grips for 10 days and I dragged my sorry ass to the doctor who told me I had bronchitis. Yay. Antibiotics because I have pre-existing conditions that make me more likely for it to go bacterial on me, and I've been there and don't wanna go there…

Yesterday night, me and my guys were hanging out at someone's house, around a fire and we were drinking. We started talking about the Ray Rice incident, and for the first time ever, I disclosed my rape and abusive relationship to my friends.

Ya this all sounds very contrived. He loves his kids so much that he is going to leave the love of his life just to maintain a relationship with them, but not quite enough to refrain from blaming their mother for his break-up in public.

I'm guessing girlfriend got bored with him and moved on. Real life removes the shine off the forbidden fruit. Now he is blaming his ex wife cause he is just a basic middle aged white man with nothing to offer.

Do they have a site like this for those of us pining from unrequited love? Because, seriously, I may not last another six months.

I'm sorry, but that's nonsense. Again, it if worked like that you'd only have to do it once. They "swear", you hit them, they "get it", they never swear again. Except that's not how it goes. Because you hit them again and again for a wider and wider range of offenses.

Liftin' barges, totin' bales, getting your ass whipped by your own relatives and going to Duke turns one into an unoriginal, humorless internet troll.

And for the record, if hitting kids worked you'd only have to do it once. If you're hitting your kids every couple of weeks you're an abusive fuck-up of a parent and in need of serious help. I hope you don't do that to your kids. Kids die on the inside first.

thank you for this - I was reading the other comments and despairing.

after one particular relationship ended - initially - I went through all the fazes a person goes through after a break up, but the pain lingered on for years. this person played games with me/refused to communicate and it felt like torture. everyone…

I legit ended a friendship with a guy friend who was saying a lot of these same things, and I'll tell you why: Men who defend that kind of shit have either hit a woman in the past or have come really close and/or have crossed the line before. Something in them identifies with it, and I don't want a dude like that in…

I'm in the process of leaving an abusive situation. Damn...that sentence makes it real. I finally broke down yesterday and told my friend after I was trapped in a car speeding down the highway with him at the wheel threatening to "Ray Rice" me. I have an exit plan that is going to take place today and it's scary. But,…

OMG ignore that guy, he is nonsensical and thinks anyone who doesn't praise men is a "man hater." Don't waste your time.

And why shouldn't she? It's called joint property. It belonged to both of them when they were married. Why, when a couple divorces, is it suddenly "his" money?

Well, that's the longer "Not All Men" derail attempt that I've ever seen. She didn't say all men. She used the term for the demographic. And yes, the generalization is true and quite frankly, you clearly don't give a shit about those issues, since you only care to try to silence women who talk about them.

Don't forget — it's totally your responsibility all the time to do your best to explain feminism in the most man-positive way ever. You know, because as a woman it's important to never ever present ideas that might make men feel like you actually want equality or something (especially if they perceive it as…

Can we also talk about how this need to nurture despite being abused and a victim is caused in part by society's ridiculous notion that the well-being of a family/marriage is mostly on the woman's shoulders? Or that a woman's worth is tied to her ability to retain a man period. If a guy is employed, taking care of…

Robin Givens is right. White people are still mad about the OJ verdict and I'm guessing it is because the victims were white. I bet if Ray Rice's victim had been a white woman, all of the white women who were wearing his jersey wouldn't have been wearing it. Had she been white, you would be hearing all sorts of racial…

Certified man hater here, I feel you. Dudes: you're totally mostly OK, I know plenty of caring men folks who are smart and get it. As a whole, I'm wary of most dudes and pick my guy friends carefully to avoid hating. It can be done!
