I already said this on gawker, but bears repeating

Wow. As upsetting as that would be for his family, I think you lucked out there. It's surprising he got sold so easy on the "Jesus wants me to save you" line.

I'd say that, based on the fact that my ex and his gf decided after <6 months of dating that they were going to get married, he's probably not having the kind of…

My ex, who broke up with me more than once because he "just couldn't be in a relationship," has found a new, not-cute hipster girlfriend. I know next to nothing about her aside from the fact that she is a hipster, and is not very nice looking. What's funny is that he used to rail about how much he hated people like…

Clarks. They are comfy. They are dressy. They are not super fashionable, but they are very business casual.

Sometimes, they are cheaper in the Eddie Bauer catalog.

Today I feel like acknowledging the pettiness in myself. And, possibly, basking in it a little. Ergo, my conversation topic is stupid exes, or just ones you're glad you dumped.

My most recent ex (broke up over a year ago), since we have broken up, started dating the most intensely Catholic girl ever, converted to…

I think Kate Leth pretty much sums it all perfectly........

"Rather" implies that there is a single answer. As a bi female, I can honestly say I am generally more attracted to men, but there are some women out there that totally flip my switch. They're just fewer and farther between.

The word 'pansexual' is used for people who are attracted to those on any part of the gender spectrum. I identify as pansexual, but the word 'bisexual' does have a valid usage because there are people who are only attracted to cisgender men and women.

Ladies, I am trying to get over my feelings of betrayal and loneliness now that I have no bf (standing for both boyfriend AND best friend, natch.) Who wants to show me their awesome tattoos to make me feel better?

I think you are right to feel all the feelings. Sometimes, it might be that we tell ourselves some feelings are not okay. Your attempt to sort out what happened and your feelings about him are not invalid. You dated him for awhile for a good reason. So, you are right to feel all the feelings you want to feel.…

I don't have much advice, but I do have a similar situation and thus, can heartbreakingly relate. My husband left me for a coworker, and at first his mother was just as crushed as I was (like, drive to my house to rock me like a baby and apologize that her son betrayed me). Then, one day I got an email from her saying…

I had a break-up like this with a pretty cold guy. You sound like a really nice, warm, lovely person, at least from the comments you've left here. So, you deserve a nice, warm, lovely person in return. But, I do know these first months are kind of awful. :(

Yeah. I'm sorry if I said anything out of turn in my post. I hope you have happier times very soon.

Awww, I am sure she realizes that. If it makes you feel better, if she cared about you as much as she did, I am sure she found it difficult to write that too! :'( Like another poster said, she had to have a lot of respect for you to want you around after the break up. Unfortunately it couldn't have lasted…

It sounds like your ex talked with your mom and complained that he didn't want them hanging out with you anymore. And that he wouldn't skype them because he was afraid you'd be over or something. It sounds like he was acting childishly and insisted his parents follow his requests. Likely a big argument ensued. Which…

I don't have any advice to give, just to say I've been through something similar. I was very close to my ex's family, and I loved them...and thought they loved me just as much. But they ended up saying and doing some cruel things, included forcing all family members to cut me off... I don't understand why they turned…

That is pretty awful, and I'm sorry it happened. If you never said anything about not talking about her son, I'm guessing she felt like she couldn't mention him for fear of hurting your feelings. Because it's an emotional situation for everyone, that fear grew and became an overwhelming stress for her. It's not that…

Perhaps neither of them regard you as badly as you think. It would be strange for him to discover that his family is still including his ex-girlfriend; it makes it hard for him to move on. On his mother's part, she's caught between you and her son, and ultimately obviously she must lean towards him. I realise that you…

Let me clarify: I don't think the OP is kissing ass, but I do think it would be percieved that way. Workplace norms are a thing. You never want to be that one person who crosses the line.
