Last year for my birthday I was deathly sick and the only child of mine to notice was the one that does not live here. This year, I decided to go the ol' clients have not paid me so I have dead tags and a dead battery route and for added mirth, my insurance is due in like a week. I scrape together what little money I…

Congratulations! That's a big step in a relationship! My only tips are to make sure you spend time apart and to make a cleaning schedule. If you are always the one who gets stuck cleaning the bathroom, it's going to get real old real fast.
I've been going through the process for the last month or so, and it has led to some stupid fights. Unfortunately, my only advice is to take thy part of you that is (obviously) always right, and rein it in. I found one or two things that were really important to me, and then then formulated an argument to explain why…
Well, my advice would be to find an apartment together, in which neither of you has lived before. But since that is not an option, try to remind yourself that the apartment is now both of yours, not yours where he is a guest. From there try to establish a few rules (the fewer, the better). Then discuss when issues…
We got our kids semi-fancy instruments today. A drum kit and a guitar. They are having a very loud and fabulous time. They are having so much fun that they are even forgetting to fight!
Congrats! Well Iv lived with my fiancée for about two years and love it. although we fight at times I can prb say maybe once if at all it has anything to do about the living situation, so I never think moving in together as a scary thing. I think it helps that we both have similarly neatness styles (as in neither of…
Advice, pretty please! My boyfriend is moving in with me this weekend which is very exciting but also pretty terrifying. I hadn't realized until now that I'm actually a pretty independent gal (and stubborn, but I already knew that part) so it's been a bit of a struggle to acquiesce some control with this new…
excited for this:
Seriously. That is some Cosmo-grade bullshit right there.
I'm a feminist. Just getting that out of the way.
This article really caused major eye-rolling. This little asshole needs little defense, nor a license to continue being an asshole.
Met my husband 7 years ago on OK Cupid and have been married for four, with a pretty fantastic relationship overall. Maybe for those who have a hard time meeting people face to face have an easier time with long lasting relationships on dating websites, because we're not doing it just because there's no other way, but…
Me too, married almost three years and still totally in love with each other. My best friend met her husband online dating when paper still had the holes on the side and they have now been married over 15 years. I wonder if it is more the people then the method. I know a lot of people, and met a lot of people online…
I feel like I have just as many friends who are in happy, long term relationships with people they met "in real life settings" as those who met online, either on like-minded sites or on actual, bonafide dating sites.
Bloody hell! Now I have to stay with her at least another 10 years* just to prove this wrong. Thanks a lot, Stanford! *random number is random.
Met my husband on OKCupid… Married for almost a year, dating for almost 3. Looking forward to proving some researchers wrong :D
A self-reported survey of only 4000 people, uncontrolled for age, time online, or past dating experience, eh?
I believe that this is about outsized expectations. People are not apps. They are not cool new software that you can download and then dump whenever they don't fit your many, numerous demands. OkCupid is not a vending machine. If you meet a person IRL you don't create a checklist of demands that they must follow. You…
My beloved and I met on match.com 8 years ago. Been married for 5 years. Look forward to spending the next 30 years proving the naysayers wrong!
