I'm separated from my cheating husband and don't have the energy, motivation or desire to ever be in a relationship again. I know that sounds bitter, but I am actually the happiest I've ever been in my adult life. I actually love being single, having my own space, doing what I want when I want and not sharing my bed…

I HAVE NOTHING OF VALUE TO ADD TO THE CONVERSATION AT THIS TIME which is a bummer

can you imagine if the roles were reversed

Do you think it will last?

Yes. I dated a lawyer for a couple months who, while not a jerk like this, led with his money and was such an unsexy bore that the fancy dinners and Broadway shows and black car taxis ran out pretty quick. I nicely told him I couldn't date him anymore because of his schedule, which was partly true. He then told me…

Fine. I'll buy your book.

The explanation breaks down pretty easily:

I am almost weeping reading this. Sometimes I am up to here with the "love yourself" rhetoric because Western culture is severely lacking in a dedication to community, but the advice in Polly's column is solid gold.

I think it's time for the 'EntitledWhinyRichGuyRejection.kinja.com sub-blog.

Ugh...see recently a female friend started acting weird and then stopped responding to my texts messages. I felt it was very rude to do something like that to a friend without any explanation, as far as I know I didn't do anything worthy of being ignored (When she did respond she was pleasant and we never fought or…

"Come at me bro"

What bouquets are those photos of? Is he just downloading pictures of bouquets offline? Or is he actually buying bouquets and taking photos of them to send to you? How very bizarre.

Oh man, I dated a guy like that for 3 months and he could NOT get over his lack of money. The hilarious part is that I was a grad student, so it's not like I was rolling in money myself. I even told him "I've dated the guys you're comparing yourself to. If I wanted to be with them, I would be. I like you, and then I…

Similar experience, not as severe:
I dated someone much older than me and much more stable.... awesome home, financial stability, great record collection (after all, this is Portland). When I rejected him, he could not fathom WHY?!?!?! and insisted that I was, in no particular order, a whore, slut, bitch, and…

*Narrows eyes* I am married to one of you people and it makes me sick.

Message him telling you to stop and never to talk to you again. When he does, file for the restraining order. There are laws there that can make this guy go away.

Yep, and all the people who say "well just ignore it!" Um, hello - this is what happens when you do.

You keep those texts and tell all your friends. I may be paranoid but I would keep all that in case he tries something against you.

I'm disturbed by how many men think they are straight up entitled to women after giving a "compliment." It's part of rape culture - men have some internalized that they are entitled to a woman and that this kind of rage is an acceptable response to minor rejection.

See, this sort of thing pisses me off, and it's so typical of the way so many men interact with women. He opens with a lewd comment, and she just tells him not to message her anymore. In his mind, she is rude, and she owes him an apology because she didn't play the game, asking him nicely to stop while simpering and…
