As a mother to a child that will face tremendous difficulties in life, and as someone who will have to not only pay for beyond expensive therapies because the government and the state has forced parents to bear the full burden, and try to fight bureaucracy that insists on NOT helping your child, why would you think…

Because you just don't walk out of your house, grab a passing attractive person, bring them upstairs, sleep with them, and then show them the door.

It's easy to keep the sex life interesting for both partners. Openness, communication, and telling your partner about your new "fetishes and kinks".

Maybe your problem is that you saw your woman as a piece of "pussy" to be "conquered". Perhaps you stopped seeing her as an actual person with whom you could be close friends with, and simply boiled her down to her genital parts and called it a day.

What's high on the list of reasons? I would imagine it's money. Most of the couples I know who got divorced are very quiet about their reasons why they chose it, vocal about how asshole-ish their ex-spouses are after divorce.

Cheating is a symptom of selfishness and putting your own wants over your partners. It has nothing to do with the idea that monogamy itself is some kind of anathema.

If your relationship can only survive if you can sleep with strangers, I think your relationship isn't as strong as you might think. You're roommates, essentially. You've made a business contract with a partner, and you're running a not-for-profit. Hardly the idealized marriage anyone is searching for.

Name me one person who got a "memorial" tattoo of a holocaust number.

This person is probably calculating based on (1) AFTER taxes (2) AFTER all the benefits have been deducted from the paycheck, including a 401K and retirement and health and dental.

I grow my own tomatoes, and I gotta say, that all that work and effort, and they honestly tasted the same as the super-expensive version of the tomato in the supermarket. You can't get the budget tomatoes.

This trip that you describe? Costs EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS.

Why is it that no matter how carefully I follow recipe instructions, while my food tastes pretty darn good, it never quite looks as beautiful as the picture?

Are all those letters to the editor in Bon Apetit real? The ones that go, "I had the best cocktail of my life in HoleInTheWall, Mississippi. Can you get me the recipe?"

I USED to have a garbage bag pantry, full of those shopping bags from the store. I'd use them for all my little trash cans around the house.

We were once lucky enough to get on-the-court tickets to a basketball game. Unheard of. My kid spent the entire time watching the jumbotron screen instead of the action right in front.

It's also because we blame parents for everything. My kid was playing in the backyard, supervised by me. A toddler. He fell, landed on his arm, and pulled the arm out of the elbow joint. A simple pop back in (at the ER) and he was good as new. But that didn't stop the physician from questioning how my kid fell in…

Even Sesame Street hasn't survived the media boom. Sesame Street has become much more about the quick-cuts, the imitation of music videos and media, and less and less about reading.

You know what? Maybe my boss isn't all that bad.

There have been no good movies this year. NONE.

I find it amazing that we value these athletes at the winter games, and there IS something to admire. But all the things we reward and value ultimately mess their bodies up for the rest of their lives, for a fleeting moment of stardom when they're very, very young.
