Hey, here’s a crazy idea: how about we stop fucking policing women’s language? Where are all the articles about all the words men use more than women (ETA: not directed at Tracy!)? Oh, there aren’t any because anything the majority of men say is automatically accepted as the standard.

I haven’t spoken to him since the last time he tried to “win me back”, so I don’t even know if he bounced! I hope he did though! haha

I’m really sorry to hear that’s happening to you. But the kind of people that do something like this (in committed relationships; casual hookups get a pass on this IMO) aren’t people you want to be in relationships with anyway. I know it sucks though, and I wish you all the best. I hope things work out for you.

Pretty much same here. I’m glad it ended. It was mindfuck going through it all, but we were horrible for each other, and I was too naive to realize it. The ghosting is what finally pushed me over the edge!

My (ex-, obviously)boyfriend of almost 6 years did this to me as a breakup method. After a few months I assumed the relationship was over, and he came crawling back as soon as I had a new guy. He was so delusional that he seriously thought I would take him back after all that. LOL NOPE.

I think both of you keeping your names and then your kids having the blended name is a good idea. Your kids will essentially be a blend of you+spouse, so why not have their names reflect it? :)

Kept my name, our future kids will be mylastname-hislastname. I’ve heard of other couples giving the mother’s last name to one kid and the father’s to the other if there’s more than one kid. Can you blend your names to create a new name, if you're don't hyphenate well?

I mean I get that getting married isn’t just about the wedding day it’s about the marriage but like. I thought it was sweet when people told me I’d make a beautiful bride, I don’t see what’s wrong with saying that. And I totally did make a beautiful bride. So there.

Not even a mention of the Harry Potter theme?!

Same! I’m so relieved they’re different people, because the girl who plays Selina is definitely underage and I felt like SUCH a creep for being so attracted to Stella!

My family calls them “boobie cookies”! But they’re accepted in our house. Not like crazy classroom mom lady.

Ooh, I’d like to hear this theory plz! I am so intrigued by the whole R+L=J thing, which would all make sense. But how could he be a Baratheon?

My mom (who designated herself as my wedding planner) made me register at 2 places and kept complaining that I didn’t have enough options for guests to choose from, so I registered tons of stuff for my cats. She wasn’t very thrilled, but now I have a really nice 5-level cat tower!

Sometimes they’re interchangeable, like in conditionals: “When/Whenever he calls me, I don’t pick up.”) In the sentence you gave, “when” is the only option.

Hardly anyone uses “whom” or “whomever” correctly anymore. It’s going out of style anyway. I tell my students to just stick with who/whoever.

I think that’s J.Lo and Kim. So yes, Bey avoided her!

Need this lipstick.

This argument doesn’t make ANY sense AT ALL. I usually reply “aren’t you glad your parents chose to have sex at the time they did and didn’t use protection/protection failed and half of you was the fastest sperm?” Like, it takes a lot of factors to make a person. Not just “here’s a fetus: either keep it or kill it.”…

Well, that’s one way to get out of jury duty!
