Do you still know her? Would it be worth telling her, or do you just not want to get involved? I’m sorry :(

Problems thread?!?!?!?!

I didn’t mean to insinuate that at all! I apologize if I did... I probably should have clarified.

God, what an awful person he’s turning out to be. I’m sorry that he broke your heart, but I’m happy that you’re finally fucking free from him.

Eh I think it’s rude to decide for other people how serious their relationships are. Adult couples are a social unit, they should be invited together. And if the OP and the bride are close enough that she’s traveling a decent distance to the wedding, it doesn’t make sense that the bride wouldn’t know.

I don’t want to be cruel, but.... I think a lot of your confusion is coming from your need to stick with the idea that he did indeed truly love you. It’ll be difficult, but if you want to get over this you need to face that he didn’t love you.

The Bernie supporters I know who are saying that they’ll vote for Trump all have several things in common; they’re white, straight men with student loans who come from upper-middle-class families and went to mediocre and ok private universities, but are convinced that the world is out to get them.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. I’ve also been the accidental, unintentional “other woman,” and it’s awful. It sounds like he knew you were vulnerable, and he took advantage of that. He knew you’d ignore all of the many red flags that were there in your relationship and that you’d trust him completely. He’s a…

You should mention it! It wouldn’t be rude of you; what was rude was her not inviting your SO. Out of curiosity, do you know if she just isn’t inviting SOs at all, or did she invite other peoples’ SOs and just not yours?

I love my Birkenstocks! I even wear them with hiking socks during Spring and Fall when it’s just a little to cold for sandals. I only stop wearing them when there’s snow!

I didn’t think I would be this emotional but here I am sobbing NBD

True but I interpreted it as being in reactions to the “no more war” assholes. Granted, I did tune in during the middle of his speech so I may not have seen the whole thing.

God I was so angry when that shit started. I’m glad it was a minority, but it shouldn’t have happened at all.

:( I’m so, so sorry that happened to you...

Oh I really like the sign idea. It would get people to stop and look, and thus make them more aware. The next time I’m visiting my parents in NJ I might go do that as well.

As a side note, whenever people try to say that the Confederate flag is a symbol of heritage and not hate I like to point out that the “Stars and Bars” is so universally accepted as a symbol of white supremacy around the world that neo-Nazis in countries where Nazi regalia is banned use it as a stand-in for the…

I bet people would try to defend it by saying “But he did it for medicine to help women! Moral standards were different then!” And I say fuck that shit. Like you said, it’s reminiscent of Nazi experiments... They justified their crimes by saying that they were doing good for medicine as well. Hell, that’s why they…

The myth of the “good slave owner” just won't die out... People don't want to believe that their ancestors could have done such evil, I guess.

Most of my exposure to vandalism had been seeing it used not as a form of protest but as intimidation or a way of lashing out... While mentally and rationally I can understand its uses as a legitimate form of protest, I think it’s unfortunately rarely used that way.

You know, I am very anti-vandalism, but I feel a STRONG urge to go deface that statue. This man doesn’t deserve any honors. He wasn’t a doctor, he was a torturer and a murderer.
