Rereading the article: “You have to be willing to say in the papers, ‘the other person hid this from me, because they sensed that I wouldn’t have married them had they told me about that.’”

In the same way you have a right to know about every former relationship of your partner. And still some people don’t tell their love life stories to their partner, and the omitting itself is no grounds for an annulment. I get being upset about the lying, but annulments are about the lies themselves.

But the whole point of an annulment is that the information a partner lied about was essential in the choice between marrying them or not. It’s not just the lying itself, it’s not having enough information to make that choice. Getting an annulment because someone lied about their sexuality only happens if the person…

Something can only be an obstacle if it’s in your way. Please remember you are in no way, ethically or emotionally, obliged to have a good relationship with your father. If you don’t want to, the only right choice is to not do it.

I think it depends on the state. But if you do find out that it’s possible to read them, please make that decision keeping in mind that your mother didn’t want you to know. The choice is yours, it just needs to be informed.

I absolutely agree. “based on his lying about being bisexual and having no intention of even attempting a monogamous relationship” - there are two items there, one being bisexuality and the other being him not being monogamous.

No, you’re thinking of otherkin. Steven Universe fans don’t have a split personality just because they have gemsonas, either.

Okay, I got what you mean now... Sorry for the misunderstanding, it just really sounded bad. Although I still don’t get why you made that jump from furry to delusional. As I mentioned in my last comment, the people who do identify as animals are called otherkin and are a whole another thing. I have some furry friends…

This sounds like very good advice. In hindsight it should have been obvious, but I admit I never thought about it. Thanks for writing this article!

You said “anyone else with an obvious mental illness”. And semantics aside, schizophrenic people are also still people who are only rarely violent. If they are prone to violence, they’re probably not strolling along the street near you anyway. What you said feels a single step away from “we should lock them up”.

Probably because of summer and winter break. That way, more people are able to attend, especially if it’s in another city. As for why in the middle of the season, it might have something to do with leaving enough free time before the con for cosplayers (on holiday) to focus exclusively in making their cosplays. I’m…

... How about you start by respecting mentally ill people? Baby steps. Do all people with depression need to walk around with personal nurses when they go outside, or do you only mean the fictional mentally ill people who show up in movies and are violent? Because then I think someone here needs a reality check and…
