First of all, kudos on your smarts and self awareness. If you have a GP or even a gyno, call and ask for a consult. Then explain the situation. If you don't have the primary care doc, find one. They will be able to get you referred and that might expedite things.

I never dated a musician, but there is something sexy as hell about guitar players. Take a guy who is short and average looking, sling a guitar around his neck, and if he plays reasonably well, he's ten feet tall and an Adonis.

I haven't smoked in 30+ years, but I still miss it.

Well, we know very different people.

My husband is extremely handy, and he never whines about maintenance or doing laundry or cooking or dishes. He also makes a shit ton of money. I've found that really successful men don't sit around on the internet attacking women. They are too busy being successful and being adored and respected by their wives.

I don't know anyone who does that. I am old, and even 30 years ago, men didn't think taking care of their own kids was babysitting. That's a media thing.

So you are a "woman" but they are "girls"? And my humanities major daughter's salary would make you sob with envy. You will never get where she is —not with your attitude.

The worst part is that 10 like minded (small minded) readers starred that mess of a comment.

"Old women"? God, the ageism on Jezebel is getting really bad.

Really? You're gonna pull that? Young people simply do not have them in the way you are referring to. She is aging. Her chin and neck area show that. You know that. If you're going to be mean spirited, own it.

She's horrible, but ageism isn't cool. You'll either be old some day or dead.

That is not the definition I have seen anywhere. Here is just one:

I know many atheists. It's knowing them that makes me avoid them. They are, with exceptions, the smuggest, most arrogant people I know—just like Bible thumpers.

I think he's a poor actor and completely obsessed with his own status. The ones who claim they don't care always are. He's also weak looking, facially.

Yes, I DO feel superior to both groups.

Atheist? Or pretty damn agnostic? In my experience, they are very different types of people.

I'll stay happily uncertain. I lean atheist, but find certitude in matters of belief arrogant. My experiences with atheists are the same as with Boble thumpers: unpleasant.

It seems like that worked our very well for you, and your family. But this is just one article that shows that the gradual, parent-approved drinking approach backfires.

Excellent. I hadn't even thought of that. Having been ruthlessly judged over the years for "selfishly" only having one child (sometimes by the same people who've confided in me that they wished they'd only had one—inconsistent, but there you have it), I have empathy for the child free. They are also harshly judged.…

I have been the mother of an only for almost 30 years. I have long ago lost count of the number of mothers who have quietly told me if they had to do it all over again, they would NEVER have more than one child. I have always found it weird that they tell me this. And it wasn't just mothers of little ones. It was…
