You can do this! You will do this. Sending you all the best wishes and hopes for a bright, happy future.

Ugh, telling friends was awful and also made me so grateful for the support I received, no questions asked. Just a lot of “What can I do to help?” and hugs.

Apparently we were such rubes that we didn’t really have a honeymoon itinerary other than dinner reservations. Out itinerary was something along the lines of “wake up late, have sex, eat breakfast, drink wine, eat food, enjoy the fact that for the first time in 6 months my mom was not calling me to discuss napkin…

You can do this. I’m on the other side and it was hard but oh man. So much better. A better life than I could have imagined was waiting for me and I just had to keep walking toward it. You can do it, too.

Your comment really resonates with me. It was humiliating to tell my loved ones and when I did, I worried I had ruined THEIR lives by making them worry and disappointing them (they so wanted their wacky daughter to settle down and here was some guy willing to take her off their hands harharhar) and asking for help…

At least she’s staying on-brand: Fucking Awful.

I’m already married but very interested in the Jezebel experience anyway. Where do I sign up?

This x1000. How do they know?

Yep! My husband is hysterically funny (in a dry, witty way) when you get to know him and he opens up a bit, but he’s very low-key when first meeting him. He also doesn’t require all of my attention and adoration 24/7, unlike the man I dated before him.

Or anyone charming or who has any outward signs of success will pretty much do it. I was basically dating Captain America (war hero! conventionally attractive! very protective and chivalrous!), so when it came out what had been going on everyone was horrified and shocked...but it was also like the end of the Usual…

YES. My abuser (emotional/psychological, not physical, which made it THAT much harder to figure out why I felt so...off) was so incredibly charming. He instantly knew exactly how to say the right thing; he wasn’t even aggressively charming or “smooth,” just knew how to lure me in and keep me there for a year when I…

Worked out well for Rodney Dangerfield!

That was my big takeaway (well, other than horror at his comment, but what the hell did I expect from Ted Fucking Cruz?) as well. Suddenly we’re taking cues from the dirty Europeans? Pick a lane, Ted.

I was 17/18 at the time of the trial (so, 15 at the time of the murder?) and I didn’t find it that unbelievable that he did it. As soon the white Bronco “chase” went down I remember thinking, “Yeah, that dude is guilty as hell.” And Kris Jenner - fucking crazy as she may be - said that the trial tore their family…

I didn’t say he didn’t deserve an attorney (and O.J. had, what? Four? So he wasn’t lacking adequate representation), just an observation that this wasn’t Kardashian’s obligation as an assigned public defender. He chose to defend a man he knew was guilty, as opposed to being told he must. That’s all.

Wasn’t he an entertainment lawyer, not a defense attorney? I could be totally off here, but I don’t think it was his calling or obligation. Plus O.J. had access to ANY attorney he wanted; Kardashian could have said “Hey, best of luck, friend, but I don’t think I can do this, conflict of interest blah blah.”

I’ll be in my bunk.

And Harrison Ford takes his shirt off so it can’t be THAT bad.

No, it’s pretty clear it wasn’t her personal vendetta, and Avery has acknowledged that and said he absolutely doesn’t hold her responsible. Neither should anyone. My husband and I both looked at each other and said, “That poor woman!” when watching the show because after Avery, she was next in line to be royally…

If I recall correctly, Avery was also in some sort of weird feud with a cousin, who happened to marry a cop in that town and was friends with the entire sheriff’s department. So they disliked him on a personal level, which likely made it feel like a person victory when they got a (admittedly) not-great but also NOT A…
