My husband is pretty anti-tattoo when it comes to himself, but I got a tattoo in commemoration of our wedding. 'Love is a parallax' is the title of a Sylvia Plath poem which I used in part of my vows: "love knows not of death nor calculus above the simple sum of heart plus heart." I love the notion that love alters…

Husband and I secretly eloped in Key West, came back with fancy new rings and coordinates of the beach we got hitched on.

Whhhhhy are there not lipstick- repellent mugs and cups? I drink about 3L of water per day from one of these non- BPA cups. If I wear a lippie, I'm spending half the day wiping off stains with a napkin.

Hey...itheedread folks - can I just make a point here? I love this concept for a feature. My wife loves the concept of this feature. But both of us are just a *wee* bit bothered by the title of it. I am not her husband. She is most DEFINITELY not my husband! (The type of ignorant-ass straight folks who would ask…

yea in my house it's the man not the woman that does that. Everything is sealed and put away when I use it. So I dont think that is just a one gender thing :)

I'm 31, with a master's degree, my husband is finishing up his PhD, we have a child, and we live in a 2 bedroom apartment. The American dream is dead.

a) That was 100% fucked and he is definitely in the wrong. He heard your hesitance and denied you the opportunity to expressly withdraw consent for penetration by using you as a masturbation sleeve and finishing as quickly as possible. Please take cocopop's advice and do not sleep with this guy again. If he can't even…

Tonight I submitted a request for termination that's been sitting in my dropbox since July for a teacher I used to work with. He's a scary psychopath but knows how to charm the administration of the school, and has been getting away with this crap for years. I evaluated him under the pretense of being a teacher's aide…

No, you were clear in what you were feeling. Dude was just inconsiderate as hell. I've been with guys who were squeamish, and I've been with guys were weren't. Even if he didn't want to go down he still should've helped you orgasm. Drop him—there are plenty of other guys at college.

Tightrope by Janelle Monae is a great dance break kind of song. Maybe get your blood flowing a little bit?

I've had a hard weekend. Yesterday afternoon, my beloved Aunt Gerri died. She was diagnosed with leukemia in January. She had fallen in her apartment and used her LifeAlert and was taken to the hospital. After a CT scan and some bloodwork, they found the cancer. Since she was 90 years old, treatment would do nothing…

oh Jesus.

LOL please leave this as a yelp review of her wedding business.

My (now Ex) Husband and I had been married all of 9 months when I found out he was cheating on me. To make a long ass story shorter:

I'm not sure if this counts because I wasn't technically cheated on, but it's a good one, so here it is anyways. First of all, in my defense, I was young and naive, and dating a real asshole. He wasn't even cute. Idk what I was thinking. SO. We dated for a few months, I think everything's going well, and one day I get…

I may take the cake for cheating stories. Let me set the scene. When my son was born, my husband had been acting strange, but I chalked it up to pre-baby jitters. After 2 days of labor and a health baby, I was exhausted. We went to sleep the first night and I woke up to my husband texting. I asked who he was talking…

So I was living in Israel for a few years (I'm American) and fell in love with a soldier. He had an administrative job in the army so he came home every day. After about a year, he said he felt really guilty about "not doing his part" for the army. That he had a sudden urge to fight for his country and had volunteered…

In a yellow Penske truck, with all of our belongings in the back, 3 dogs at my feet, no home behind me, and a one year lease on a house I had not seen in a city I had not visited in 5 years ahead of me. Yeah, we were almost exactly halfway across the country, on our way to our new life, when he decided to tell me…

Avoidance of difficult but potentially rewarding aspects of life doesn't seem like a good strategy. I suppose this goes into the school of philosophies like, "never start your own business", "never buy a boat", and "never go to college". Some people certainly seem to enjoy defining who they are by limiting their…
