Glad you had a great time here! Sorry for the post-trip blues, that’s a very real thing. Aside from the host, what did you enjoy the most in NYC? ;)

I’ve been watching Jane the Virgin on Netflix and really enjoying it, but I’m pretty sure it’s the reason that last night I had a very vivid dream about being pregnant! In the dream I was trying to decide whether to keep it, and was about to tell my partner when I woke up... never have I been so relieved. Damn TV…

Don’t panic, but do call an exterminator to come in and do a thorough assessment and treatment, if they deem it necessary. You may be getting bitten and not reacting to the bites. My partner and I had bedbugs six years ago and they ate me alive every night but he had no reactions at all. We never so much as saw a bug…

A former friend of mine from college recently opened what is essentially a CPC, dressed up in nice language about providing pregnancy resources and information to women, “without the politics”. He has no medical qualifications whatsoever, but is heavily involved in his church. It makes my blood boil.

I love it! Where’s it from?

Yeah, I’d tell her she has until X date to come pick it up, and she needs to give you an exact time that she will come. If not, sell it to someone else.

Have an honest conversation with your husband. Does he know you’re not orgasming? If he doesn’t, he should, and if that doesn’t bother him, he needs to step up his game! Your lover and partner should want you to be enjoying yourself during sex, not just going along with it for his sake.

By “virtue signaling” I mean doing something to be seen doing it, and cast yourself in a positive light. Like going to a march and taking a lot of selfies to post on social media. There’s nothing inherently wrong with posting a selfie, but if that’s all you do it seems superficial/disingenuous.

Was anyone else at the NYC march today? I was really disappointed by it for a number of reasons. I don’t know if more people showed up than they were expecting, but it was kind of a mess where I was. My group arrived around 12:30 and I guess it was so backed up on Central Park West that we didn’t move for ages. Then…

What in the world??? This is bizarre and I 100% agree with those who are saying that you should take your text records and bring them to the police. He misused 911 and put you in a potentially life-threatening situation. He should have to answer for that.

We’ve never interacted on Jez but I’ve seen your posts and I’m so sorry for your loss. Wishing you peace and comfort.

The Guggenheim is not worth $25, in my opinion. The Met is worth it (at least to me, because I can spend all day there), but it should not cost a family of four $100 to visit a museum. The Met should remain pay-what-you-wish, or pick a lower ticket price.

I know this made for some great jokes/memes in season 3 of Twin Peaks.

I hope 2018 is kinder to you.

Regarding parking, that’s exactly what it means. I live in a densely populated neighborhood of NYC, and I am much, MUCH more likely to drive somewhere if I know it will be easy to park.

Hmmm, if he’s dating someone you should probably hang back. But if it doesn’t work out with them, why not? Good luck!

Okay, so you say jobs and families are keeping you stuck where you’re at. But really, people move for relationships all the time. Is there another reason you think this is a bad idea? Are you (one or both) married? It sounds like you have a genuine connection.

Even though it’s been a struggle, you are doing everything right. Keep calling the crisis line, keep seeing your doctor, keep seeking treatment. You will come out the other side of this.

Seconding all of this.
