Yeah, I totally did take it too literally. I was six kinds of grumples this morning, I probably should have stayed out of the comments section entirely.

Thank you.

This. Pictures of my firstborn were passed around the family digitally which was totally okay, until one asshat relative posted them on facebook despite knowing that neither myself nor my husband use facebook, nor do we want pictures of ourselves online. Oh, the rage.

Mmmm nope. I like the poem, but my children are my children. I don't "own" them, they are wee people, but I went through misery to have them and imo earned the right to call them mine. Not Life's. Mine.

In a Psych class in college, my prof told us about a case in Texas in which a man shot and killed a repo guy who was trying to repossess his truck in the wee hours, and the shooter got off because of this law. You couldn't pay me enough to do repo work in TX.
Anyway, this case is fucking disgusting.

I have wondered this too. Who on earth would pay for porn these days? I can only think of the people who have offbeat or unusual fetishes that want satisfying. If you absolutely must see a smiling woman's face as she orgasms (or pretends to) and want that in every clip you watch, then I get paying for a site that will…

Hi there.

There was a girl like this in my middle school twenty something years ago. She stank of what smelled like ... it's hard to even say. Something unknown plus really gross bacon. I say this as someone who LOVES the scent of bacon, but her odor, whatever the hell it was, was unbearable.

High five, I was thinking of the same article.

I bet he can't walk around naked. He'd risk accidentally slamming it in doors.

Word. I am a mom and I refuse to say it. I say "defecate" or "crap" and "soiled diaper" (as opposed to clean diaper or wet diaper or whatever, in the context of diapers) instead. Poop is a disgusting word.

Giblets is mine. It makes me cringe. The actual meaning is bad enough, but I once read it used in a description of a woman's sex bits and omg, nope nope nope octopus gif.

I saw a double loft bed in Ikea once. Three-quarters of the bedrooms in our house are on the small side, and I am allll over that idea for my daughters.

My pleasure! I'm a fan of the Captain Awkward school of action re: setting and enforcing boundaries. Anyway, it's good to hear he's on your side. I wish you both the best of luck in dealing with your recalcitrant sexist in-laws.

Fair enough. I had a couple people who recommended my SO and I break up back when we were in our early stages, and I am so many kinds of glad I didn't, because they simply didn't understand how well suited we are to each other. We've been together eight years now. The road to joy isn't perfectly smooth and easy, but…

I think your man (I'm assuming a male partner here) should have a stern talk with them. If he's not on your side and willing to step up on this, then you have bigger problems to deal with than your in-laws.

By the end of the calendar year?! I must be misunderstanding you. If he is having second thoughts and does not know what he wants, to the point where you are thinking about calling it quits, you so do not owe him that much of your time.

Fffff, he sounds like kind of a jerk. If he can't handle a night with snoring (you didn't have your nasal strips ffs!) while being a loud snorer himself, he's not good long-term material. That said, you are not crazy for feeling shamed, he made you feel that way with his shitty text. Forget him imo, you deserve better.

There are people out there who want to see perfume and cologne banned in public places.

1980-er here, feeling that too.
