This is something he did to her, though, so why is that not ok to talk about?

I've told this story before here. But.

"Sorcia, I'm in love with your best friend [a dude with a hilariously ridiculous name that I cannot post here]. We're moving to Virginia and I hope you'll be happy for us."

I was seeing one of my longtime best guy friends (whom I'd kissed a couple times over the course of our friendship, but had just started, like, being with in any more significant capacity). He told me that he loved me quickly. The whole thing was very intense. I'd been hearing rumors from mutual friends that he was…

You dated Newt Gingrich?

When he dumped me after my wisdom teeth surgery because he went out the night before and "had more fun with her."

I don't know what you're disagreeing with; that's basically what I said— this website glorifies cheap weddings. But no other place does.

You are the worst.

Telling people to hide their feelings isn't going to cheer them up. Telling them to smile is exactly that: you're telling them to not look sad when they're feeling sad. I seriously hate when people tell me to smile, I have on of those permanently grumpy faces (okay, also I am permanently grumpy but that's just my…

"I mean I've tried to cheer people up that look like they're having a bad day."
It's nice that you're trying to cheer people up, but issuing commands like this implies that you don't think that person really has the right to have their face, or their emotions, like they want them. I have been through some enormously…

Telling people they should smile is not the same as cheering people up. If you want to cheer them up, then please do (in the most unobtrusive way possible, otherwise it may look creepy too)! Just don't tell strangers what to do or not do.

But did you know why these people were upset/having a bad day? Maybe it was a tiny thing that would work out. Maybe someone they loved just died. Maybe they just got a horrible diagnosis. Maybe they just got fired and now can't afford things they really, really need, like, say, rent, or medication. Maybe they just got…

Because other people's bad days are all about you? Especially strangers.

This. You don't see Quincy Jones sticking his dick in the mashed potatoes.

I get that constantly hearing about lentil weddings is annoying and some people are REALLY smug about it, but not everyone who talks about their cheap wedding is automatically shaming people who spent a lot of money. This is just seemingly one of the few places on the internet where you CAN talk about how cheap your…

I can't help but think after the Ray of Light era she should have kept busy by cultivating young talent for her own label and then just done select performances (few and far between). Keep them wanting more!

I'm not sure if it's maybe a midwest thing, too. My ring is very unique, not at all cookie cutter. I think part of the "Oh" that I hear from these women could be trying to place me within these narratives of affluence that I just don't fit into. And never will. I don't care about climbing the social or economic…

Unfortunately, I can back up this theory with my own experience. I knew a year before my wedding that it wasn't going to last...I didn't want a big wedding, my future ex-husband did (for reasons still unknown), but he spent the year absolutely refusing to help plan this nightmare with me.

My fiancé and I have been having a BIG conversation over the past few days about my engagement ring. I didn't want one in the first place; I'm an athlete and couldn't see myself wearing one, but he didn't want people to think he is cheap. So, whatever; I'll wear the ring. I love it because it's from him. And when…

How about this for theory? People are going to be more hesitant to back out of a potentially bad union post-engagement, pre-wedding if they (or their parents or their soon-to-be inlaws) have paid a boatload of money for a 5 karat diamond, a $10,000 dress, and a non-refundable deposit on a pricey venue. They're…
