The suicide thing as a measure of control is so true. Although there was no DV in my marriage, there was plenty of emotional fuckery and loads of infidelity (on his part). When finally confronted with proof, and the news I had bought a house and left his ass, he instantly “became suicidal”, especially when he couldn’t…

I’m a DV survivor. Let’s be honest, the only reason he then threatened to kill himself is so that she wouldn’t call the police or leave him. My ex suddenly became suicidal when I was officially done and on my way out. Threats like that are still a form of control.

The police told the Standard that Corley’s attack ended when he noticed the children screaming and the blood coming from the woman’s head. That’s when he reportedly got his gun from the car, threatened to kill himself, then locked himself in the bedroom.

What the fuck

I was in South Carolina this week visiting family for the holidays. A truck ran a stop sign and almost hit our car. We honked and yelled WTF, and the truck pulled up next to us, driven by an old guy. He got out and approached my open passenger window and then said, “The last time some bitch honked at me I put a gun to…

You can’t be suggesting there are parallels? We know better. We’ve learned from our past mistakes and we live in a much more rational, equitable time.

The Gilded Grifter Elect is ushering a new Gilded Age.

And on January 20th Trump will be kicking a black family out of their home. Some things never change.

Gotta build that swamp!

Misogyny’s a helluva drug.

Yeah, but you don’t understand, she has A VAGINA.

B-but emails! And Benghazi, wherever the fuck that is! And pedophile pizza! And I just can’t put my finger on why I don’t like her!

Huh. Wasn’t the whole “Wall Street Insiders” thing the reason folks didn’t want Hillary?

Look I just want to chime in again and mention this one time that I dated this guy who SUCKED but for some reason we immediately fell into an unspoken Thursday + Saturday schedule and it was the greatest fucking thing in the entire fucking world because it was essentially a sex schedule and it ruled.

Counter-point: Not only is sex-scheduling incredibly helpful for busy/overwhelmed couples to ensure intimacy remains a core tenet of their relationship, it can also be handcuffed to an innovative credit card rewards-style program to incentivize menial chores that we all seem to avoid!

If eating an entire pot of soup is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

UH AIMEE WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT

Yeah, I don’t think there’s a problem with this at all. When you have a lot of shit to do, it’s so easy to just collapse in front of the TV at night and fall asleep instead of using that time to spend sexy time with your partner. Making a specific effort can be really rewarding.

I totally see your POV, Aimée. And this is an easy subject to make fun of.

It seems to me that a long-term couple that has a lot of stuff going on could probably benefit from something like this. It isn’t a chore, it’s a reminder that you need to make time for your partner and to get into the idea of sex. It isn’t like you can only have sex during those times, but jump starting your sex…
