I would say cry moar, heffa, but that would only further her cause. This is just a classic example of how White Women's Tears work: Get found out to be a raging asshole/rascist, cry about being called on it, wait for someone to notice you crying/being upset (and they will), and point out how Those People (the ones…

I was afraid of being left alone with her, lest something happen and I not know what to do! I too, had PPD; medication made it marginally better.I'm sorry you had to experience that, and hope you are better.

Well at that point you have Stockholm Syndrome

Thanks for posting this. I wish there was something like this for the 'non-hot' girls out there, too. All of our "advice" just centers on makeovers, really. And doesn't that just reinforce the stereotype that men are just shallow and want nothing to do with a girl that's not cute?

Savannah is full of places that are not Lady & Sons that have better food than that damn overpriced buffet.

Ooh! YES! These are also the ones who are so "pleasantly surprised" and "proud of" you when you mention your advanced degree, can't help but tell you that "you're so ARTICULATE!" and "CLASSY!"

I've had to enforce a 'no technology at the restaurant' rule — and if he pouts or drags it out, I remind him of it and it goes back in his pocket or wherever. I've also had to memorize conversation starters, so we don't just stare at one another.

Did we marry the same guy?! I'm so sorry this is happening to someone else, too.

Ooh, I'm so glad you asked this question. If i could go back seven years and talk to my affianced self, I'd say the small emotional security (read: "I'll never have to date again!") of marriage is not worth your freedom. You're going to have a child, move to an area you'd rather not, stop dressing up, stop writing.…

No; it compares the friend's illness and situation to another's, when each situation is a)intensely personal, and b)different.

Once again, Mr. McGruder = truth.

Agreed. I need those glasses in my life.

I love your glasses!

the whole movie is.

It ain't paranoia if it's true. Besides, monochromatic casting isn't just boring, it's lazy.

*yawn* Another filthy rich white guy movie. At least Boiler Room had Nia Long.
