“Why do people like her?”

Totally. It is the nightclub promoters version of the Hallmark Valentine’s Day - way more trouble than it is worth, freezing and an expensive letdown. Hard pass.

“Don’t take it personal” - no.

Is this message from the past? Fergie and Jenny Mcarthy? Is it 2006? Shit I have some bad news, thing are going to get better but then way way worse. Sorry.

In a similar boat. It’s hard making friends after college. I stayed but everyone else scattered after graduating. I literally have one friend whom I rarely see because she’s married, has different friends, and is always busy. I made one decent friend last year that just cut me off with no explanation. I want to move…

Keeping friends as an adult is really hard. I would try to find meet ups with similat interests as you as a starting point. For keeping them, understand people are people-they will make mistakes or not be perfect. Treat them like you would treat yourself or vice versa. My best friend of many years could give a…

I refuse to watch Jenny McCarthy in anything. She is a garbage human and I wish her only ill.

Ugh. For me it’s not the family, but literally every one of my friends that I’ve seen while home for the holidays either got married or had a baby this year. I went to brunch today with two close friends who had children this year and probably 70% of the conversation was about their babies. The worst part is that they…

Ever since Jenny McCarthy became a part of New Year’s rock in eve, I have refused to watch.

I’m late to the game, but I need help figuring out if I’m unfriendable. After years of reading Capitan Awkward, I’ve gotten good at asserting boundaries and figuring out if friends mesh with me. Yet... now I have no friends. Has anyone else experienced this? I’m good at making friends but not keeping them. When a…

My stepmother is emotionally abusive, and I haven’t spoken to her in five years. Throughout my childhood, and even in my college years, “family meetings” were an excuse to lay into me and my sister about our failings, and she took joy in mocking me for not keeping house to her standards (“too much book-learning”,…

There seemed to be several people walking around Disney Epcot with shirts that had “I said yes” or “she said yes” along with the date written on them.

He either hates your boyfriend or has a no ring/no bring policy  

Wow. That sounds like a jerky invitation, never mind the actual person.

Honestly I dealt with this and it turned into an epic mess (we’re still dealing with the fallout and I’m actually writing a book about it). Stand your ground, protect your husband and your relationship but prepared for an epic onslaught of shit-filled crap. It really, truly sucks and will never get better. I’m so so…

Okay guys, fingers crossed. In early December, I interviewed for three jobs in two day—a basic data entry place holder, a six month temp assignment and an admin job. I got the basic data entry job, I got the temp assignment and I just found out the admin job is checking my references. The temp job is kind of fun,…

Mr. Werner is frantically calling around for something to do because he thinks we’re “losers” for not going out, but he doesn’t like any of the options given to him. (Eighty bucks for half-warmed buffet food and a DJ playing his iPod? No.)

Wheats the difference between in laws and outlaws ?

I did talk about it with her. She says “don’t take it personally. She was just really mad”. She was mad because I came home drunk the night before. I wasn’t driving and we were out with friends. I planted the seed of “this isn’t normal behavior” but since this is the parenting she knows, this is what she expects.…

That’s kind of rude... Was it maybe an oversight? Like maybe they totally blanked and just didn’t put your bfs name on the envelope? Can you casually ask about it?
