I like to think I’d have given her towels with “Fuck you” embroidered on them. In reality I’d probably have cried and never spoken to her again.

Haha, no. Someone I know in real life, unfortunately. I never noticed a smell but the facts speak for themselves.

Me too. Although I just discovered that my long term crush apparently never showers. So I clearly need to rethink a lot of things, with taste in men being at the top of the list.

I read something earlier that seems to apply to your situation: just because someone needs help, it doesn’t mean you have to be the one to help them.

No problem :) Some of my Saturday Night Social posts when the roommate situation was ongoing were pretty lengthy! It helps to get it all out there.

That does sound really hard. I don’t know what to say - I’d advise talking about it, but it sounds like you’ve tried that and it’s his turn to communicate. Either way, I hope it works out for you.

I’m so sorry. I spent the day after I hooked up with my (then) roommate intermittently crying in the work bathroom because I knew he didn’t love me back. We don’t talk anymore. I’m sure it doesn’t feel like it now, but I think it’s better that you know how he feels now, rather than pining for him and wondering if you…

I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. I don’t know how long it’ll take, but at only 2 months after 10 years together, you definitely shouldn’t be putting pressure on yourself to be over it. Be kind to yourself, ok?

That sounds lovely! You picked a great best friend/MOH.

I hope the emergency cake was good and you weren’t too disappointed. That’s a lovely story though!

I read your post on Pop The Question and that’s what I immediately thought of when I saw this headline. What a douche. Making a public show of how unwilling you are to commit to someone is not funny or ok.

I’m an animal lover too, but clearly I’m a massive slob first and foremost, because my first thought was that I am fundamentally incompatible with a guy who even owns a lint roller...

Holy fuck. You are amazing!

I’m so sorry to hear that. What a beautiful cat. That is an impressive age, though - I bet he had a great 16 years with you.

I couldn't believe that bit. I think we can all agree that giving birth (particularly to a child you don't want) is more violent and traumatic than NOT giving birth.

That is some serious doggy charisma in the bottom photo!

What a good-looking set of kitties!

GUYS MY INVITATION MUST HAVE GOT LOST IN THE POST BUT DON’T WORRY, I’M HERE ANYWAY!

That was one hell of a pep talk! I think I’m going to talk to my roommate first so that he can have my back when I confront the guy. You’re right, I don’t owe him any explanation other than “this is not a joke, please stop”. Thanks.

I’ll have to remember it for when I’m ready for a dog - some time in the next 10 years!
