My freshman year roommate did not shower. Ever. Nor did she wash her white sheets, which were stained dingy brown in the middle from her body filth. I had to keep the windows open in January, and Febreeze the room every time she left.

@bookling: But monogamy isn't for everyone, either. It's clearly not working for the players who are cheating. We need to entertain the idea that it's one possibility among many.

@treehouser: You're using one anecdote to try to disprove a theory. It seems like your friends really aren't communicating that well about their needs and setting boundaries.

@skahammer: I totally agree - humans aren't wired for monogamy, and most of them don't do it well. If your spouse is in a job with incredibly high motives and opportunities for cheating, why not just assume that it could happen, and it's no big deal? I think many marriages would be better off without the lying/guilt…

@theladyvanishes: This woman's next project is the "Be a Decent Parent" club.

@SpicyCheeto: I was thinking exactly along these lines, but I didn't know this song. Where did it come from?

@blueberryblackberry: Sure, many people cheat because they're not feeling taken care of at home. I'm a big believer in being GGG - if that's gone from the marriage, there's pretty much no hope.

@Ken Gryphon Jr.: It seems to me that the only difference is one of honesty. Your single guy with a booty call isn't lying to anyone - he doesn't feel like he deserves a faithful wife at home and a piece on the side.

Unfortunately, most pro athletes spent all of high school and college learning that their athletic prowess deserved to be rewarded with sex - and there were many girls happy to oblige. I'm sure that it exceedingly difficult to transition from that to a committed relationship, where the guy feels that his wife is as…

Christy Turlington's made me gasp! Does anyone know who the designer is?

@lydia_gwilt: You'd think since Marie Claire wants to promote an image of women who are smart, savvy and self-aware, they'd do a better job hiring people to fit the part!

@quietgrrrl: Well, the poor girl spends so much time in the bathroom, throwing up from seeing so many fat people. She has barely any time left in her day!

@Pantra: Of course she's clairvoyant! She can cast judgment on a show before she's even seen it!

They better hurry up and fire Kelly already. Clearly they're going to end up firing her, once the 24-hr news networks catch up with the blogosphere. Chances are, they'll end up firing all their PR people, too, before it's all over.

"jk, sorry guys! It was just that I wrote the post quickly. If I had taken the time to do my job carefully, I totally would have *watered down* my natural bigotry!"

@GeorgeFayne: Isn't it better than the ubiquitous camel-colored suede of this summer?

I would have liken Leighton's, except for the almost-matchy shoes.

@LoveNoelG: I see your point, but for these kids, knowing that DADT still exists is part of the whole structure that makes them feel unequal and unloved.

@RaeBeta: Exactly - the semantic debate stuffs polys into boxes as much as the social norm of monogamy does! The rule in any relationship should be: fewer definitions, more discussions.

I'm glad to see this, because Obama certainly hasn't won much love from the LGBT community lately. I was really hoping he'd end it by saying "and this is why I feel that Don't Ask Don't Tell is unconstitutional, and why I'll be working to have it legally repealed."
