You know what’s fucked up? I tended to be a lot more, for lack of a better word, manly in my work dealings. Direct, unapologetic, etc. I’m a middle manager in my own right, and I kept being hauled into my boss’s office because the other male manager had issues with the way I was doing thing.

I just watched this. This is the most hilarious thing, ever.

It is. From the most recent episode. It's all about these women on a panel apologizing excessively. It's pretty spot on.

I think for him it read as an almost absurdist sketch. But for me it was kind of sad and truthful. This season has been like that. It's been really direct and biting. Which is great! But something about this just made me feel sad.

This sketch made me want to cry. I don't think my boyfriend got it.

Some good suggestions. I struggled with this a bit post-divorce. One other thing that helped me is finding something that actually depended on me. I know this isn’t for everyone, but in addition to the companionship, the sense of responsibility helped.

I have a collection of these stanky crotch monstrosities on my pinterest. There's some serious twat hatred in these ads.

aren't all of us with depression putting on that facade? Mines fallen down this week, but I'll probably pull it back together soon. My fucking fake face.

Sometimes it's not clear just how bad your relationship is until you experience something more normal. That can be a huge wake up call.
