My mom did the same thing to me, and I wish I had better advice, but it broke a bond of trust that I have never been able to recover from. It is decades later. I suppose she thought it was no big thing and needed to be done (it did) but still, it was MY BODY and my wishes. It sucks.

You are not overreacting and what your mom did is completely out of bounds and not cool. I am so sorry.

there's a book I remember reading in 3rd grade or so, where this brother and sister are at a museum (smithsonian?) and are looking into a big, black, polished obsidian mirror and get transported back in time, IIRC to the revolutionary war, where they meet and become friends with a young Hessian soldier. Does anyone…

Just throwing out a general fuck you to the little hooligans who not only took all the candy I left out, but also took the bowl. That was my fave mixing bowl assholes. The kids in the old sketchy neighbourhood managed to leave it unscathed for 7 years but apparently the kids in the privileged neighbourhood are short…

I have a serious, long term problem. I'm desperate for a solution. I am not sexually attracted to my husband in the slightest.

I just want to hug you forever and always because I know how you feel. I had almost the same situation with my fiance except for the reading text. I even got the same answer (she had one kid). Just bad vibes about a coworker. It was before we were engaged and though I didn't think he would cheat I was still worried…

This one time, in high school, I was talking to the super cute quarterback who I was obviously in love with but he was a senior and I was a sophomore. My best friend interrupted to pull me off to class, which happened to be up the main staircase in the main hallway where a majority of the schools foot traffic was. I…

I have just laughed it off, but I thought his timing was not great. It kind of made me feel like, being the only woman in the apartment, the guys being sexual is normal and NBD, but me being sexual is some kind of joke or something to be embarrassed by? Put like that it sounds like a huge overreaction but I've been…

I like kissing just fine, but if I looked up and saw my boyfriend standing there making duckface at me, I would not feel like kissing that.

The Mr. just brought home wings from a local dive bar. I've never had wings this good. This is a red letter day!

I now have 2 more reasons to ass Halloween as my favorite holiday. Made almost $100 doing tarot readings at my friends party and had sex for the first time in over 3.5 years. It was a good night.

I need some life advice please (and hope someone promotes me out of the greys, purrty puhleaze!): I am currently teaching English (composition) at university and have been trying to succeed in academia for the past...well, a lot of years. It's not really working out for me and after being in denial for too long I am…

I don't know, I think it's pretty uncool that he brought it up. If you live with roommates and you're an adult human, chances are someone is going to hear SOMEONE make sexy noises. I doubt your wild dream sex negatively impacted the quality of his living, so laughing it off (like it sounds you have) seems like a great…

I just spent the last 2 hours gathering new references for my thesis and just lost them all. FUCK. MY. LIFE!

Soooo I had a little dinner party last night, just with the bf and a couple of our mutual friends. It was fun but didn't really go the way I hoped it would, mostly because when the bf and I went up to bed, he got under the covers and I took off my dress for the grand reveal (bustier with garter clips, stockings, lacy…

I'm in a weird sort of mood tonight. I've been text flirting with a guy for two months or so. Last night we made plans to meet up and it was all sorts of awesome. Normally I'd be totally psyched up about something like this but after going through a bad breakup last year and having another kinda/sorta relationship…

What is everyone eating/drinking/watching/doing? We can't decide here. My kid asked me to read the novel he's reading in school, so there's that. I'm craving meatloaf, but don't want to make a trip to the store. In other words, GLAMOUR.

Not all breakups cause equal devastation. At least for me.

The real problem is what cowards those rape victims are, obviously.

And, or course, if you did that they'd arrest you for assault. Because them getting their asses kicked for being disgusting rapists would be considered more of a violation than them actually being rapists. Fuck.
