Yes, in my 20s and early 30s I dated some guys like this, who were in their 20s and early 30s and proclaimed that they weren’t going to start a family until they were at least 35. Guess what? These guys are in their 40s now and finding out that hooking up with 25 year old women isn’t as easy as Match.com made them

Here’s the thing—we have never ever ever known stability. Every time we turn around there Is some “once In a generation” clusterfuck catastrophe that threatens Income, wellbeing, or both. How are millennials supposed to plan around the 18+ year commitment of having a child If we can’t even be sure that we wont be

I believe Trump all by himself is a form of birth control...

This is wise. Forgiveness is an ongoing process rather than an absolute one time epiphany that fixes things. It’s taken my whole adult life to learn this, hell I’m still learning it.

I was so happy to see that the advise was don’t tell her.  If you tell your wife you will transfer the emotional pain and burden of the secret to her, you will feel better, she will feel worse.  And it is unlikely your relationship will recover. This your pain and shame to endure. 

You’re wife didn’t bring it up again because she wants to know more. She wants to know if you’re trustworthy, and she thinks more information will help her know for sure.

Sometimes you just have to stand there in your wrongness and be wrong. That might mean telling the truth and dealing with the consequences, or it might mean keeping it to yourself and dealing with that emotional burden. Only you can determine which option is the better one based on the specifics of your relationship

Came down here JUST for that... on my life, this appears to be the hardest lesson of that early adulthood transition - some things don’t get re-dos.  Some decisions you make are fucking permanent and there is no scripted resolution where everyone lives happily ever after and things work out.  Reasons why it’s all the

This crisis you’ve been suppressing isn’t meant to be resolved, it’s meant to be endured.

Lying to someone you love to protect them from knowing what you’ve done puts you on about the same moral ground as a firefighter who rescues someone from a building he set on fire.”

For me and my wife, it was student loans that have made it financially impossible to have a kid. We pay nearly $1000 a month to pay off interest, with nothing going towards the principal. After the mortgage, credit cards, groceries, car, phone, and every other bill, there’s nothing left. I’ve had a lot of people tell

What is left out of the Sia mention is that apparently they were her foster kids who were about to age out of the system so she adopted them to make the relationship permanent and legal. It doesn’t sound like she met them for the first time when they were 18 and thought “instant family.” 

Darkly, scientists are divided on whether or not the trend will continue as coronavirus stretches on. Not necessarily because everyone is going to be happily copulating in their quarantine nests, but because access to birth control and abortion has become more difficult.

Ironically, this is when I was born (36 in July.) Mother Dearest just CANNOT understand why I have strongly ambivalent feelings about bringing a babe into this fucked up world.

Pretty good from him on this.

I think Green’s attitude about the whole thing is really nice. It seems like a genuine sentiment too. But even if you don’t think it’s genuine and that he’s not actually this mature or understanding, at a minimum you have to appreciate that this is a guy who understands that co-parenting is probably easier when one

Is this the most recent pic of them? The same one used for their breakup in 2015? Lol, sad. But it sounds like while BAG might be hurting, this is a good thing overall. He sounds as mature as his 46 years. Well done.

I can’t believe that David from 90210 is so mature, but this is one of the most thoughtful reactions to the break-up of a long and significant relationship that I have heard in a long time.  Also she is so gorgeous it makes my teeth hurt.

Talking?  Being in the public eye?  Just spit-balling here.  

“Good Christians” don’t get a divorce. The shock. The utter... predictability.
