Your comment in the form of a song:

Who said I ever called him names? Describing him and his behavior in an anonymous internet comment is sure a far cry from calling him names.

There's a huge difference between never having done anything even remotely regrettable/everything I do will always be on the up and up/everyone will always think you're a wonderful person that never hurts anyone and the lowlife pieces of shit who cheat on their long term girlfriends and then tell people about it like…

You chose to be the asshole that cheated rather than dealing with his relationship issues head on by either speaking to his partner or BREAKING UP WITH HER. You had options, you chose to take the cowardly, selfish way. Don't pretend like anything you're doing now is for the benefit of your committed partner. It's not.…

Sorry that you've experienced it, but appreciate knowing that others have been there. Hope you've found someone who is willing to meet your needs and have a fulfilling relationship with you.

So so so wrong. I mean you couldn't be more off base. You show such a disregard and lack of understanding for depression. Her depression cannot be equated with selfishness, but holy shit do you come off as a selfish, entitled, and probably very unsatisfying lover.

You couldn't be more wrong. Actually, I'm wondering if you're responding to the wrong commenter, because I can't even see where you're forming these strange opinions of me. Did you read what I wrote? There is absolutely nothing sex negative there, I am not asexual, and I do not believe this woman is asexual. I have…

No, there are hundreds of other options out there besides cheating (depression, medications, him being a douchebag who forces himself on her, as he even admits, etc). The clues are there, whereas indications of cheating are not. To me, it seems like you are only able to view this in your own narrow perspective rather…

"I'm now sleeping with someone else while I try and figure out how to break off a very long term relationship over distance."

Oh my god, yes. It's all of this. Thank you for putting it into words what I could not, because I have been the girl in this exact situation. I was not cheating or interested in cheating, I was just dating a self entitled jerk who cared about his own sexual pleasure above my well being and boundaries. This is exactly…

No. Don't project all your baggage on every other woman out there. It's not about cheating at all. The intimacy is gone for whatever reason and she's not interested in sex. Whether she's upset or not feeling connected or respected or loved by him anymore. For a lot of women (people) sex is very connected to their…

By "basic reading comprehension skills," do you mean "reading your own biases into comments when they aren't there"? Because that seems to be what you're doing.

Fitbit doesn't require a smartphone, but you do need to have a computer. My mom is in the same boat as your dad. There's a little bluetooth nub you can keep in your USB port that automatically syncs the info with your account. (ETA: She has the flex/wristband, I believe. I can't say for sure that all types of Fitbits…

That sounds like a big (and positive) difference from how it sounded before, but I'd still say being a hard ass about it isn't going to convince many of your friends. Getting out of an abusive relationship is hard enough as it is without friends being judgmental. Just saying that taking a harsh stance might push them…

Then I guess you handle things very differently than you seem to in your comments around here.
I'm very sorry for any of your "friends" who have tried to come to you about an abusive relationship situation, because a lack of sympathy or "sugar coat" is exactly what they don't need right then. They need a supportive…

Idk, just judging from these posts and how you think you're so much more mature and wiser than all your friends, I'd guess that's the reason they're not coming to you for advice. First, because you haven't made the wisest decisions for yourself (even if you've learned from them and know better now - hindsight is 20/20…

, he wrote hypocritically from his computer, wearing jeans and probably sitting in an air conditioned room. [Alternatively, you're sitting at a library computer, or perhaps sitting on the floor in your sad, hot, empty apartment.]

Probably in one of the closets (some airplanes have them) or in an overhead compartment without being crushed by other people's stuff. People fly with wedding dresses all the time without buying a seat for them.

It really is disappointing. I've noticed it happening too, though not necessarily for financial reasons. Did you try inviting those people for free/inexpensive hangout time (You probably did, I was just thinking it could have been a weird transition time that the old friends didn't know how to get around.)
