I was just going to say the second best thing you can do for a daughter is teach her to take risks and the best thing you can do is teach her Krav Maga... but I like your story better! Fucking right!

And as we’ve seen over and over in so many woman-centric arenas—sexual assault prevention foremost among them—the impulse to protect is very different from the impulse to ensure equity, and the two things, worked out in practice, are often exactly at odds.

Four. But my ex-guy-I-vaguely-dated was ex-Army part-time bodyguard, and that’s how he got “shot”. He was good though, he had juuust enough real documentation to make his story almost plausible. He just wasn’t smart enough to cover up all his manymanymany lies.

Um...?

Tip:

If he’s so worried about his sister’s neck why doesn’t HE sleep on the couch?

All I can think of is this episode of Friends

Yeah, if this is true, it screams of sexual abuse, either by their parents or by the brother.

when the very best scenario is that your future husband and his codependent sister are inconsiderate assholes it is time to get out.

Vague consensus is that it’s fantasy.

I hope it's fake but there have been enough cases of real life incest so it could be real.

That was my first thought. If that’s not the case, I’d at least wonder if the parents are addicts, abusers, or just incompetent and the whole family is a mess.

Are you sure that it’s real though? It sounds like something someone would write when they took Ambien and stayed up instead of going to sleep.

Real life version of Crimson Peak. Hopefully without the murder or ghosts.

Definitely fucking. Ew ew ew ew.

And she KEPT planning the wedding?

That is a whole lot of red flags for someone not to go run screaming into the night. And maybe the other sister is so screwed up (and this one is depressed) because the brother — who appears to be the older sibling — abused his sisters growing up.

What the hell did I just read?

You know things are bad when you reach the end of the story thinking the sister with the crack addition and hand tattoos and an aversion to showing and working is the “good” one.

Wouldn’t that be DTSFA?
