Here’s what few people will acknowledge. Apart from his rhetoric and embarrassing missteps, Trump has governed as a doctrinaire establishment Republican in almost every respect. He has stacked his Cabinet with the GOP Old guard, aggressively pursued their tax and deregulatory agenda, and loyally nominated right wing…

To add to the list of better leaders this is fantastic.

not to put too fine a point on it, but when the beauty pageant contestants and the comedians are the ones calling out the racist and inflammatory rhetoric of our president and not, oh I dunno, OTHER GOVERNMENT OFFICIALS, then there seems to be something deeply amiss with our country

The winner gave a good response too to a question about the Paris Climate Agreement, saying it was wrong for the US to have pulled out given the evidence we have about climate change.

My advice would be check out Meetup.com, find stuff that interests her and meet people that are also interested in those things. Less pressure than jumping into online dating if she’s on the fence about that, and more fun and learning and doing stuff.

The advice in this post is so off.

I deeply disagree that she owes it to her unborn kid to try to make a relationship work with someone who’s been cheating for years. She owes it to her kid to take care of herself so she can raise and support the kid as best as possible, whether that’s with the father or not.

How did you even find this thread and attach this nonsense to it?

This is so important, it needs to be far higher on the page.

I’m over here like, what? Her whole relationship has been a lie and she’s about to bring a kid into it and people are ‘hur dur, welp, she gave him an ultimatum, how else was he supposed to respond?’ Life is only messy when you fail to make the difficult decisions. Staying with him makes her and her daughter’s life…

1) Joss Whedon left Kai Cole, he confessed to cheating and walked out on her.

“the first sign” was that he’s been cheating on her for years, for their entire relationship. basically, their entire relationship is a lie.

Source: Me. My son was less than 2 months old when I left my ex-husband. I was about 7 months pregnant when I found out he was having an emotional affair with a coworker of ours. I moved in with my in-laws, who knew the reasons behind our split.

Erm, why are we assuming that LW1's cheating husband will be any help with the baby just because they will still be married and living together? I have seen non-cheaters totally ignore all parental responsibility while sleeping in the same bed as their strung out wife. Get a lawyer and get out fast! Dude might move…

He may or may not be a prize, but she’s walled off big sections of her life while relying on him financially, and it doesn’t sound like he likes her that much. He can get a health check and ditch his girlfriend too.

LW No. 1 - The advice Jane gave is good. When you talk to people they want to give you all their opinions about how their separation went. They want to salt and burn bc they have been burnt before. But, when you listen to these people with a grain of salt bc god bless they don’t know shit.

I’m afraid I have little advice to offer the first writer, but what a loser that other chick is. A six month, no sex, emotional-only affair with some married jackass she kissed once five years ago and who has a baby on the way? You’re lame, girl. Get a fucking hobby.

TO ALL THREE:

He kept an affair hidden for years. He was just being a dick. This isn’t a one time thing because he feel lonley or something.

LW3: whatever it is you may be getting out of this arrangement, it’s not a real, healthy relationship if you have to walk on eggshells with her the whole damn time. Set yourself free and find someone who loves you and doesn’t act like a caged animal.
