I think it is when you write a blog post on divorce and never give any background

So you're saying we should take a closer look at the situation and get to the bottom of it? The grand jury certainly didn't think that was necessary.

I've been dealing with a sexual assault case in the high school that I work in over the past week and the girl at the heart of it keeps saying 'I don't want to get him into trouble'. It's not because she doesn't want him punished; it's because she know how much grief she will get from other students if he is punished…

Tomorrow's my birthday and I have a lunch planned with friends/acquaintances, and dinner plans with my family, and about a thousand errands to run in between. And I feel like this is a not-important birthday (it's not a milestone and it's making me feel old). And my period just started. We're 3 weeks away from the end…

Yeah, that's a good question. The occasional friends-with-benefits, but generally I just avoid the subject and take care of my own needs. A side effect is that I do have very intense dreams of intimacy almost every night. I don't know if that's healthy or a sign I need more sex...

I never had kids, but I finally, at 45-ish, decided to stop having relationships with men, and my life has been pretty blissful ever since. I know there are great, supportive, smart men out there, but I was never able to find one who wasn't more trouble than he was worth. There were emotional issues. There was…

There will be more studies like this about high-powered/promising women, one of which I'm part of, and they'll implicate husbands and the usual suspects in business, though perhaps more forcibly than before.

My husband tried to pull this shit on me after talking a long bullshit 50/50 child/home-work line, and for the…

Single mom here, with a perhaps unpopular opinion. My life is actually easier post-divorce. My ex thought he did enough of the house work and child care, but to him that meant giving the baby a bath maybe once a week, doing the dishes once in a blue moon, and running to the store when we ran out of something. I find…

Of course you're welcome! You seem like a great gal and I am (and I'm sure the rest of the community is) encouraged to see you make positive strides. To your first point, if he is a good guy, I would not worry about him thinking that you overreacted or thinking that you are a nutcase. After my most recent breakup, I…

You defriended the guy?!?! +1 LIFE POINT FOR YOU. Obviously you are going to feel however you need to feel, but it may relieve some of the regret to think that you could always be friends on Facebook again down the line, no matter how things shake out. It sounds like that was a great and important step for you right…

My Grandma died yesterday morning, my Saturday, I am so very very sad but I still haven't cried and I don't know why. This is a photo of her about the time I was born, I was the first grandchild and always made to feel extra special because of it.

I had to put my 15 year old dog to sleep this week. Then I had to tell my kids the dog they'd had their entire life was dead. It sucked even more than I knew it would. And I'm not sure I can ever face my wonderful, kind, compassionate vet again because he saw me lying on my living room floor, draped over my dead dog,…

My divorce was final yesterday. Going to court was very surreal, it was so quick and emotionless. Afterwards I went straight to the social security office and changed my name back. It felt like getting a piece of myself back that's been gone. I had lost myself for so many months in trying to save my marriage.

Beyond that, porn is fun.

I don't know why everyone is piling on about this, and all the responses seem to be misunderstanding your use of "completely dependent." Because I know exactly what you mean.

Sure they do. So do people who dislike cats, religious people, people who don't like oral sex, and people with finicky media tastes.

So. I am here to give an update about what happened last week when I fled from my emotionally abusive boyfriend. I've been posting about trying to get out of this relationship for a while but had been very very stuck do to being very very poor and very alone in a new city and not being able to afford a place of my own…

it's real talk tho. Women in general will tolerate a LOT of bullshit if the tongue and peen game is on point.
