My sister snitched to my parents about me and my then bf, now husband, being sexually active and they hit the roof. They pressured us to get married, though we had our own plans. In retrospect I realize we could have just disobeyed my parents... but I got HURT feelings when he said, rather adamantly, “I’m NOT getting…

I’m not a celebrity but I went as grouchy curmudgeon who hates adults in costumes. It was the role I was born to play.

Wow, so well put. I know a woman who brow-beat her boyfriend into proposing and marrying her. They would have door-slamming fights about it. And then, on instagram and facebook, all the proposal and engagement photos, and then the endless wedding photos. It’s absolutely a sham, and she seems unashamed, as if the…

That ring competition pisses me off so much. It’s not enough that your dude loves you but he has to show that he loves you more than your friend’s dude loves her by getting you a bigger (as if size is the only thing that matters here) diamond than her, just so you can wave it around and have people flip out for 10…

Damn, that’s good advice. I dated a girl who about 2-3 months in wanted to get engaged and was not at all shy about saying it. She kept going on about not wanting to waste time and what am I waiting for and I kept saying I’ve known you three months and that’s not enough. Anyway, she broke it off.

I know I am a grizzled not quite old lady but every time a friend comes to me bitching about the lack of a proposal and how she can’t stand the idea of still being just his girlfriend, my response is, “If you can leave this relationship over a ring and a party, you should probably go find someone you want to spend…

I’ve noticed that movie promotion works the other way around sometimes. Back when I had “real” TV (viva la Netflix!), I saw the most ads for the movies that were obviously going to bomb (I think the movie Paparazzi is what originally brought this to my attention). I figured that they were trying to get the most out of…

I feel exactly the same way even though I did watch the ads. I feel like people watch biography films either to learn something they didn’t already know, or because the film puts history in perspective through the life of one person, or in some cases because the costumes are gorgeous.

My reaction exactly. “Hardly Anyone Sees Movie Hardly Anyone Has Heard Of” is not really a shocking headline.

No more switching male leads to females. See, we tried and it doesn't work.

Sandra Bullock is #2 on my list of celebrity freebies and even I don’t want to see this movie.

Rational person: this movie failed because it was a shitty white savior narrative.

Shocked, shocked. That a movie based on a documentary about a relatively obscure election didn’t grab audiences. Having said that: Go watch the documentary, it is awesome (and fuck James Carville).

That dumbass title is the main reason I won't see this film.

Yes! I feel like if you can’t have that conversation with your partner, then you aren’t actually ready to take that step.

Same. I was in LOVE with this boy when I was 14, and he finally asked me to be his girlfriend. It lasted about ~3 days because it freaked me out, and I avoided dating again until I was 18.

Happy Halloween!!

Because using emotional blackmail to get someone to agree to spend the rest of their life with you is a greeeeeeeeaaaat way to start a marriage, right??

This is my doggie’s contribution to our engagement photos....

I have a close relative who swears her former home was haunted because the clock kept stopping and starting. Somehow it has never crossed her mind that the thing just needed new batteries.
