As a side, what is WITH friends thinking they have the right to be so judgey about people you date? It’s like what does it matter to you if I like dudes that aren't your idea of attractive, I’m happy, YOU’RE not the one dating him. Quit with your negative comments and just cheer me on like a friend should! I’ll never…

I am that person too!!!! I'm a master at never getting past the 6 month mark. But I have other good luck in life, can’t have it all I guess.

WOAH

Sounds like a dream - thank you!!

New York ideas plz - I’ve found myself alone all weekend and was literally just wondering where I can go read and drink somewhere not too crazy - halp!

Oh dude totally! The amount of Americans I told about my trip (so many) and they were all like woah I've never even been out of my own state kinda thing. It was pretty gobsmacking! Maybe it's not as exciting to do the travel in your own backyard I guess

YES. This is so beautifully written. I drove from NYC to Vegas and back last year and felt exactly the same. So much so I'm going back for Road Trip 2: The South, in August. Number 3 will be Route 66 for sure. America is incredible.

I'm only up to season 3 but so far she is all "a women's place is in the kitchen serving her husband" ...does she get better then?

I've been there too.... good luck!!!! It's the right thing to do and time will heal this xx

Geez dude, when you're terrified enough then yes, sometimes it does take someone else to give you that tiny bit of strength to be able to leave. Did you even read the story??? The guy was abusive! I've been in the same position and trust me, they intimidate you and wear you down enough and you need balls of steel to…

Australians aren't racists per se, but they are very, very VERY ignorant when it comes to race, and will defend themselves not being racist to the grave. Like Iggy, they will use the excuse "I can't be racist I have Asian/black/aboriginal friends" and in the same breath say aboriginals are dole bludging alcos or call…
