Is is still an engagement ring if it’s not used to propose marriage? Like, don’t the circumstances of it being given to you actually define what kind of ring it is?

Like many white people from the rural south raised by Republicans, I primarily align with Democratic Socialist policies and positions. I’m 33 years old. I remember 1998 – the lynching year, Matthew Shepherd and James Byrd, Jr. Columbine happened during my Freshman year of high school. How safe are today’s children…

No love for Emilia Clarke’s freaking adorable outfit?? It’s so perfect! Tea length dress with the linen coat and the adorable ribbon heels? I lovvve ittttt.

This is the whitest shit I have ever laid my eyes on, including my own skin.

It was nice of Serena Joy to make a special guest appearance:

The governor of South Carolina is “tough on borders”? What borders? The one with North Carolina?

Mrs. Fran Sheffield is a prominent socialite, who still nudges her husband endlessly, but now, rather than to meet celebrities, to get celebrities to perform at her benefits.

Seriously considering taking some basic self-defense or boxing classes

I think I speak for us all, here.

Please tell Prime Minister Trudeau and President Macron that they are charging the U.S. massive tariffs and create non-monetary barriers.

You wouldn’t believe the levels of entitlement some people have. If the job doesn’t stroke their feels in just the right way, they want nothing to do with it. They claim the job is somehow “beneath” them or they don’t feel “fulfilled” or “passionate” about it. Or, my personal favorite: “it doesn’t pay enough and…

This. She’s like “so my husband is a total lazy sponge, does nothing all day, expects me to entertain him when I get back from work (including thinking up activities to do), can’t even be bothered to pick a different game to play or show to watch when I’m not around (talk about the bare minimum) and when I try to talk…

Three weeks sounds about right for transitioning from “oh my god I get to live with this person I’m so in love with” to “if I murder them, the corpse will stink, but I still think that’s an improvement”.

Dude, like I can’t get over this letter — I almost wonder if it’s fake, because I can’t imagine someone would put up with such a sorry garbage person for so long (but of course I know they would). LW might want to look into therapy to figure out why she’s been with someone who outright sucks for this long, because I…

I mean, everything about this guy screams to me that he’s a horrible manipulative POS. So essentially, let get this straight: this guy has been unemployed for 5 out of the 6 years of their relationship, which means she’s been supporting both of them presumably (unless he’s a freakishly wealthy trust fund baby or…

“basically says he’s a horrible husband and yada yada”

This stands out to me. It’s really manipulative, and does exactly what he wants it to, make the conversation go no where. “Oh, I’m a bad person” is deliberate used to make you try to reassure him and feel bad for ‘causing’ him to feel that way.

If he’s going to play…

I can barely imagine being unemployed for a month much less FIVE YEARS. There is so much more to this story to unpack.

This guy better have a good excuse for not having a job for 5 years, any basic job could have probably upgraded their lifestyle out of a single, small bedroom. I would be completely embarrassed to be him unless there is a real disability that is totally preventing him from working. You get one shot at life and you…

Man, you guys have been living together in a small bedroom for 5 years, with him unemployed and ALWAYS THERE for most of it, and you didn’t kill him? I would have strangled him after about three weeks out of a pure desperate need for personal space.
