Drunk mom stories are the best.

The only thing I’ve enjoyed about the bouquet toss is the Parting of the Spinsters as nobody really wanted to catch it.

We didn’t toss a bouquet or a garter. We tossed a Unicorn and a Dinosaur. And encouraged everyone, singles and non-singles, to try and vie for them. If the root of the tradition is that we are supposed to impart some of our love and good will to others, then everyone should be able to play—no singling out the…

Queen Latifah is absolutely drop dead gorgeous.

OMG YAAAAS YASSSSSSS TO EVERY IDIOT COMMENTER WHO KEPT SAYING SHE WAS JUST OVERLINING HER LIPS I AM SINGING DASHBOARD’S VINDICATED AND DANCING AROUND THIS AIRPORT TERMINAL ALSO I AM PROBABLY VERY DRUNK

And hey, that sounds like a good life to me!

He sounds seriously bad for you...I would completely cut and run. But then again I have probably one of the most supportive and loving men on the face of the earth and I can’t imagine settling for anything less.

Be wary of people who hide their cruelty behind “jokes”. If someone you love frequently says shitty, insulting things to you and then claims they were “kidding” if you take offense, you have a serious problem on your hands. I’ve reached the conclusion (based on lots of experience and some armchair psychology) that…

Also: you’re allowed to be picky about all sorts of things that are less important and no one judges you for it: what you want for dessert (10 minute commitment), the movie you want to see (2 hour commitment), or where you want to vacation (7 day commitment). If it’s okay to be picky about that, how much more okay is…

Get out of there. Your mid-20s is still SO much time, and it’s time when you should be enjoying building your career and your life.

The not respecting your work thing hit home, because that was pretty much exactly the kind of thing that happened with husband 1... Insulting jokes became basic disrespect for my work and academic discipline (I teach at a community college)... then it was the assumption that I wanted to be in administration, when I…

Now is the time. In a few weeks there will be some other crisis in his life to prevent you from leaving. He can sense it’s coming. Good luck, break ups are so damn hard.

Even before you mentioned the despicable comment, I was thinking, She’s done. Listen to your instinct. This is not the guy. You don’t need to go into a detailed explanation. He’s not the right guy for you.

Do it. It won’t get easier. Something’s always going to be hard in your lives, and the truth might as well come out now as later.

You don’t have to feel crappy. You aren’t responsible for him or his feelings. Your job is to be honest and kind but not to suffer for him at your own expense. You're awesome and you are the architect of your future!

The thing about women’s instinct had alway felt true to me (there is probably men’s instinct but not my concern). I think that you know. But trusting yourself is difficult. As is making a decision that can and will change your life (even if briefly, even if for the best). But that little voice is probably the truest.…

Hey, I’m sorry. I once was in relationship where I had a moment of clarity that it wasn’t going to work out in the long term. And it was career related issues behind the disconnect. But I didn’t do anything about that thought, because things were pleasant enough at the time and it was comfortable and I liked my life.…

Your instincts are correct. Your heart understands what your head can’t compute.
