:I I was trying to explain this very thing to a coworker last week. Old school T-Swift is timeless....it transports me to being sixteen and the feelings of being in love for the first time, navigating growing up, and being so awkward it HURT>. It's MAGIC! I have literally cried to Mary's Song in my car. New…

Whoops! My bad, I must have been painting my nails during that day in Intro to Creative Writing. Carry on good sir!

Omg this is too much! Most straight sex scenes don't add to the plot...and in the case of HTGAWM ( and perhaps Scandal, but I don't watch it) the sex scenes did add to the plot, because they are the way one character gets information, and therefore FORWARDS THE PLOT. Good lord, people are duuuuuuummmmmmmmb.

Thanks! Now I am pondering how lazy I have to be to have not googled that earlier. My guess, pretty lazy. :)

Marc Maron wins the internet today...whoever he is.

The truest statement ever....I was cringing. :(

I came here to hate on this..but then I was won over. How adorbs. :)

That is EXACTLY what I was thinking...who knows if that "happy home" is one in which he could realistically thrive. I mean, OF COURSE, that family would say that he is welcome, but who really knows if that is true, or like you said, if he would feel comfortable living with them. There are so many things that we as a…

Maybe it is a difference in how we define rent? I think what you have described is "rent", and i probably call it rent because since we aren't married, there is the potential that we could break up. If that happens, I own the house in it's entirety (even though I used his rent to help pay my mortgage). I am the one…

Gross! Hopefully you can use it as weeding out tool for, well, tools! I absolutely adore it when people post horrible things on Facebook, and then I can justify deleting them off my account with no guilt. Too little time in the world to watch other people try to push others down. Best wishes!

I don't not live in New York, I was referring to the nationwide home buying statistic! And I love my dad, but he didn't help me put down my 20% down payment. I recognize my privilege, maybe you should check yours troll!

He wouldn't be my fiancé if he was that much of an asshole! Thanks for backing me up!

I am also white and from the Upper Middle Class! Don't forget that I didn't overcome the odds and triumph because I'm white! Although is there some kind of off set I can factor in for being a Hispanic?

Sorry! Obviously I was absent that day in science class when they went over that gene sequence that compelled males to financially provide for their families. My bad. I think Future Mr. Extreme Moderate would be great stay-at-home dad! Maybe he could PROVIDE childcare for our family!

That would be mean and horrible if that is what I had done, I agree. But I didn't make fun of him for not buying a house/ not being able to support us. He could have! He had the money/credit/job to do it. But he didn't! I did. To steal a phrase from elsewhere in this site, it isn't a zero sum game. My accomplishments…

Thanks! It is one of those things where I can't stop smiling and get all hot in the face when I think about it! Excuse me while I dance around my office in a celebratory fashion!

I am! But I don't consider that a bad thing. I feel like women don't brag enough about work and financial accomplishments. It might make some people uncomfortable, but maybe it shouldn't. :)

I am lots of things...nice, mean, proud, humble...depending on the situation. This is just something I happen to be super proud of..like graduating college are getting my first job! I might rethink my frankness if it made my fiancé uncomfortable..but he is proud of me too! It makes me feel powerful/capable to do…

Woo hoo! I contributed to that statistic! Anecdotally, I bought my home almost 2 years ago in the Midwest...and I have never had a male react negatively toward my home ownership. In fact, most men I know think it is awesome and have told me just that! Bonus: it never gets old to correct people who think that my fiancé…
