This comment + that video = me laugh-crying all my eye makeup off

Thank you! I had seen some of those bits but not all. I’m off to kill a servant and have sex with a wall!

“Tutti Frutti Summer Love”! You just reminded me that my long-suffering husband and I were at a big party years ago and this song came on. I said, “I love this song! Let’s dance!” He said, “You have the worst taste in music, but OK fine, you need the exercise.” 

There is nothing in any of that to laugh at you about.

My husband. Not only did he stay by my side every minute I was in the hospital but when we got home and I was exhausted and weepy, he put me in a bath and shaved my legs. He did a terrible job because he is too gentle but it was probably the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me.

Celebrity crush is chef Aaron Sanchez. Smoking hot. Ordinary crush is The Bartender, with whom I’ve been crushing summer. #foodboozesunsex

Yes, why? How? And three generations of whirlwind romance success?  You guys should write a book. 

What a level headed response from you to this ass-umer of a person. (I couldn’t be so kind.) 

I would also say too, that when you’re in a relationship that you have to defend early on, it creates a strong bond with your partner that gives real incentive to make it work.

Firstly, at no point did I suggest that your parents have BPD. I think “whirlwind” romances are extremely ill advised regardless of mental condition but there’s always an odd exception to every rule so I take you at your word that it worked out for them without undue sacrifice on either side.

Hell, my cousin got married on a whim, to someone she had just met, and has been happily married to the sweetest guy for three years. I know that’s not a long time in the grand scheme of things, but sometimes it just works.

How did BPD become this big elephant in the room that nobody wants to acknowledge? “Whirlwind” romances are not just typical of people with borderline, it’s one of the big giveaways. And that commitment that your folks had to working it out after the whirlwind was over....that’s a downright dangerous idea for a person…

I think it can work if both parties are upfront and honest about who they are and what their intentions are. It makes it easier to be ok with your partner’s flaws once the honeymoon phase is over and the blinders are off. If you’re hiding a large part of your identity or situation from your partner, then a whirlwind…

I’m going to go ahead and agree with you.

i came back to this thread on my lunch break today, and i just wanted to reach out to you. i hope you’re well. this was a beautiful story. <3

This needs more stars. We’re reinforcing that capitalism and consumerism make life worth living. Once these kids are old enough and realize that the jetsetting (or even upper class) lifestyle is virtually unattainable for most, there the credit card companies will be— ready to take over. It’s very depressing to think…

He was so gorgeous.

He is my template for what is sexy in life. Always has been, always will be.

Pretty little fancy man. I miss him.

I know that feeling.
