As a trans person, I am entirely unwilling to criticize the reaction of a partner to their spouse coming out (outside of open hostility of course) . It really is a tough thing to go through.

Eh, I’m gonna give Kris a pass here (and only here). We’d all love to believe that we would be our best selves 100 percent of the time, but Bruce’s transition has a pretty profound impact on Kris’s life, and I wouldn’t be surprised if she has some conflicted feelings about it.

It’s inspiring that Bruce is living his…

Congratulations!

The asshole cheated and then broke up with me before I could dump him. And I was very angry so I called him a few weeks later and said I was pregnant. I let him stew for a week and then told him I needed $500 for an abortion. He paid and I took my best friend on a road trip and had the best damn time EVER

So I guess he’d been planning to give me my walking papers. But after finding out I was pregnant he did the honorable thing; went Dutch on the abortion and stayed in the picture until I managed to go three consecutive days without crying.

Can we just have 1 day a year where people like this are lined up wherever they live people are given a choice of 3 moderately painful but not permanently damaging objects from which to smack them once, as hard as they want, in the face?

YES. All of those points too. I tend to be very open about my depression and anxiety, partly because there's some of me that's like IDGAF, but also because there's such stigma around it that I'd rather talk about it and try to get people a little more educated and hope that stigma wears away. Still have that shame…

This is happening to me right now! My husband and I had Round 1 of marriage counseling together; the big issue being that he's doing a terrible job of supporting me through depression/bipolar and anger-cheated on me. The therapist asked him if he had ever read a book on depression and he said no. I've been depressed…

Yep. Actually dealing with this fear in my current relationship. So far, he's ridiculously supportive, but I'm terrified there will be a day (or forever) that I am alone because of my mental health.

The winner, clearly, is ALL OF US.

Clearly, _we_ are the real winners here, because Celebrity Fight Referee is amazing. Can this be a Thing, Kara?

This.

I eloped when I was 19 to a boyfriend I had only dated a month. I didn't tell my parents and just said we were moving in together. A month later I deeply regretted it and filed for divorce. It took two years to finalize and I had already started dating my now husband during that period. I didn't tell any of my friends…

LETS GET FISHICAL, FISHICAL

Sad. Sad. Sad. This child never had a chance. Addiction kills all. Jobs. Families. Loved ones.

This story hits so close to home it makes me deeply uncomfortable to read. My ex is like this, so closely similar that only the small details differ. He, too, is a self-identified radical feminist who disarms women with his story about growing up witnessing (and experiencing) terrible domestic violence at the hands of…

I dunno, our local mayor seems to be on the up-and-up. I tried to bribe her (by gifting her some of my Delta Skymile points) for the winning vote for my Newfoundland in the annual Howl-o-ween Pup Parade and Doggy Costume contest, but she was stalwart and resisted the temptation.

I agree with this too. I don't want Iggy to act like herself, I want her to act like a decent coherent person who has the ability to self-reflect.
