was coming here to say the same. he’s definitely not wrong on that particular point...achievements don’t necessarily have to be positive, right?

this is rude and unfair to the sun.

yikes.

people do say that lots of guys want a successful and driven woman...and then want her to quit all of that for him. like they’re taming women or something.

ew. seems obvious that in that context “nice” means easy/not a challenge/soneone i can feel superior to. ew. glad that person is your ex.

i live in new york city and every year this one church in the neighborhood has people decked out as romans accompanying a jesus dragging a huge wooden cross down broadway while their pastor tells the story over a megaphone. they go ALL OUT with the costumes. jesus looks haggard and a bit bloody. the romans’ costumes…

yep.

or not even high, sometimes just manic. if i remember correctly, carrie fisher was bipolar. my mom is too and it can really take a toll. those extremes can be fun and weird, but then they can also just make you want to be “normal” and just do regular things because mom’s always kooky in one way or another (mania,…

was hoping this would follow; thank you!!! all the stars.

teach me your ways! I need help with my narcissist radar. i’d prefer to keep them miles away (although i’m related to some so they’re a challenge) instead of figuring it out when they’re already comfortably in my vicinity.

EXCELLENT

clearly you actually know her but i wanted to add that i once saw her and jacques out at dinner and they were stopped on the street by people who wanted pictures with them. luann indulged them but let them know that she and jacques had plans and needed to run. the picture requesters really were verging on rude with…

oh shit i forgot about the alimony. hopefully she made a killing when she sold her hamptons house to that guy who was planning on bulldozing it.

Sorry about your mom. Daughter of a narcissist myself; also a people pleaser. I just wanted to give you a solidarity comment. That shit SUCKS.

I cannot believe this! I would have thought they’d at least wait until a few months after the season ended.

if memory serves, the movie is bad. my best friend and i watched it years ago shortly after it came out on dvd and we were thoroughly disappointed.

she is truly awful. i’ve never seen anyone so determined to be cruel, seemingly just for her own amusement. or sometimes because her own feelings are hurt or defenses are up but her reactions are basically always disproportionate to whatever she’s reacting to.

also it was super awkward when she said something like “we ask that you let Shannon feel you inside her...” or something like that. ick.

Plus, Shannon already felt really insecure and messed up. Things must have really gotten bad for her to gain that much weight that quickly after the surprise vow renewal and victory lap about rebuilding their marriage. I hope they can figure things out and find some happiness.

i get you!! i once saw him biking across the brooklyn bridge with those gorgeous kids sitting in milk carts affixed to the back of the bike and i almost stopped walking. he was super hot in person— i’d never really thought of him as anything more than attractive, i guess. but seeing him was indeed...stirring.
