I feel like this is something boys need to be taught is wrong at a young age. As a dude, I honestly didn't appreciate the scope of the problem until I was in college, and female friends would tell me (frequent) insane stories about being catcalled with something so vile it made them immediately burst into tears, or…

Agreed. And while there are limits to this, emotional pain is relative. If you want to have a contest over who has it the worst — you will not win. Think your divorce is worse than this woman's break-up? Well someone out there has lost her spouse to terminal cancer at a young age while caring for young children…

You "wouldn't expect people to sympathize" with you if you got divorced after five years??? Seriously? So you'd just pack up your stuff, move on, and be totally cool if your friends just handed you some ice cream and expected you to get over it?

"when support is warranted"

I know, man, I know. It kind of hurts my heart. I have been around Jez from the beginning, and we used to think of ourselves as friendly and supportive of one another. Seeing some of these comments really makes me sad for the lack of compassion.

Just look at all the lady commenters on this article basically telling this woman that should shut the fuck up.

Dear commenters who don't want to entertain this as legitimate pain:

As opposed to all the other drivel on this site? Mid-week Madness? You are really coming across like the bitter one here. If you don't want to read it, skim the article, decide it's crap, and then move on. Don't READ THE WHOLE THING AND THEN COMMENT ABOUT WHAT A WASTE OF TIME IT WAS.

people are stupid. they can say the most heartless things when they are trying to comfort someone. My situation was different than yours, but equally heartbreaking and I never ceased to be amazed at what people thought was 'comforting'. I'll bore you with my story another time, the focus here needs to be you. I'm so…

Since people are delaying (or not bothering with) marriage more and more, you would think there would be more sympathy for when long-term relationships break up. It really is the same as divorce.

To be fair I'm a woman, and I really did not like Skyler when I first started watching the show. Let's be honest, she wasn't portrayed as particularly likable, she starts out very much being the foil to our (at the time) lovable underdog Walter. However, the brilliance of the show and its writing staff is that…

So she doesn't give a fuck when her prick husband murders a child but now we're supposed to care that her fee-fees are hurt b/c he is basking in the glow of being a celebrity to Tea Bagger and Fox News Fans and he left her at home?

That's what publicists are for.

Wow that Paris Hilton response was actually fair and classy.

I've heard he only dates thin, white chicks who don't like threesomes and dress modestly.

I was just making a joke about my Super Sweet 16. I have no idea who started vs who was defending.

This guy contacted me on okcupid last year and when I didn't respond, he emailed me again (persistent little fucker) and demanded to know why. This is his exact message -

Not to body shame or anything but for a guy with such high expectations for a woman, he's not decent looking. At all.

On behalf of Black women everywhere, I assure this guy that he is in no danger of any Nubian woman even thinking about dating him.
