Not to be funny, but he asked for space and distance. Five hours away is pretty much the definition of space and distance. I think you may have been on here a few weeks back with this dilemma. Unfortunately, you broke up with him or initiated the mutual break-up. A consequence of that can be the person you ended…

No.

No.

I guarantee you it’s true. They’re either in debt or have parents paying for it. And the ones whose parents are doing it won’t be able to cope once mommy and daddy can’t foot the bill anymore or pass away. I’ve seen it. You can afford an apartment and your kids will be fine.

He showed his true colors back in the campaign. While I was never down for him, I understood that others were. However, when the talk turned to Hillary needs to be responsible for bringing his voters to her and he basked in that and dragged his feet, I was like no thank you. It bothered me that when she was in a…

This is amazing.

And Mr. Smith is so right. This plays into the classic trope of LGBTQ people being villains. Doubly so since the guy who outed him says that he didn’t know he wasn’t out to everyone.

Especially since he lives in fucking NORTH CAROLINA! This was shot two months after HB2 became law.

No, that can be the case. Contracts in television and film don’t allow for risky behaviors because of the insurance. Same with athletes. Part of the reason Robert Downey, Jr. first finally went to rehab was because companies wouldn’t insure him anymore.

North Carolina comes out pretty good in this. I’m shocked because it’s been one thing after another since I moved here.

I can agree with you in a sense. I’ve said for three years that it takes a family to abuse a woman. My ex’s entire family knew what was up and testified with nothing but lies. There are lots of people who are either co-dependent or are ok fronting about their relatives so that they don’t go to jail or the girlfriend…

Or get the man to stop abusing. How about that?

I stopped dating a little more than a year ago for a variety of reasons. I’m done - no more. However, I did background checks on the last two guys I dated. Found that one guy had a DUI. I was early on in both of those dating situations, so they just faded out with a best wishes on your search (we met online), but I…

Totally agree. I hate when people say they need anger management. It’s about controlling the victim. They are at their peak when they think they’re in control - no matter how violent and abusive they get. They literally are the insecure, crappy type of people who can only feel better about themselves if they think…

I responded to someone on Deadspin about this just last week re: Ray Rice and a possible high school coaching gig. Isn’t it curious how these people don’t rip drivers next to them on their commutes out of their cars and smash their heads in? Or how they don’t go scream and holler at co-workers who don’t get data sets…

I’ve worked in the corporate world and now academia. My corporate life was great in that I actually got real raises and bonuses. I didn’t have to meet benchmarks or quotas in the traditional sense in corporate, but I didn’t like it anyway. I have a lot of freedom in my academic job because I’m management and there are…

Rejection sucks. It’s something you never get used to feeling.

I really like Valentina, but I see some problems ahead for her. She can’t sew. They didn’t focus on it this last episode, but she’s worn a mariachi costume, a wedding dress and stuck some tulle to a bathing suit this week.

Season 5 is a gift from the fucking universe. I was trying to get out of an abusive relationship during its run and that shit was the only thing that kept me going. It was actually the first season I watched. Love Alyssa Edwards for...ev...er

I’m right there with you. He’s so hyped on here that I’m like this isn’t endearing or cute. Doesn’t sound like he’s said anything too crazy, but he’s humblebragged all through this thread. He’s also letting the other Jezzie know that he has a consistent rotation of ex hook-ups.
