Seriously? Not taking crap (ie putting up with shit) sounds toxic to you? I’m sorry. I don’t have to take crap and am very happily in a nontoxic relationship. Toxic was having to put up with crap in past relationships.

Wow, looks like it might take more than introspection for you to get this. Therapy maybe? Nowhere in my post did I accuse you of lying about your abuse. Living through it doesn’t make you an expert, it doesn’t mean you understand it or understand the cycle of abuse. So okay, you did it so everyone should be able to,…

That is a very different situation from abuse in the context of a relationship. Sucks it happened to you but it has absolutely nothing to do with domestic violence and relationship abuse. Therefore your opinion on the matter isn’t valid. Also you seem like you need to maybe talk to a professional about it, because…

You’re talking to other victims abuse, though, and you’re still wrong. Not everyone can get out easily just because you did. There’s a lot more to it, and if it were that easy, no one would ever become a victim of abuse. Sorry that you don’t get to keep pretending that it’s so easy. So no, I’ll have to politely tell…

Blatant victim blaming. Nice.

Abused partners stay for a lot longer than that all the time for no hope of a payday. Not sure why once there’s money involved you’re stepping all over yourself to proclaim that it’s the real motivation. A year is nothing. A marriage to a super famous actor? That will help you try to overlook those moments when he…

What does age have to do with it? He’s not a child.

You’re really condescending in your response, and that’s not going to help anyone (except maybe you to feel better about your intelligence somehow?). My experience doesn’t agree with your “bra laws” either. Band size can vary within the same brand depending on the style of the bra, the amount of support or padding,…

Maybe that’s how it worked at your store but the whole “add 5" thing has NEVER worked for me or any bra I’ve ever tried on. If I added 5 to my band measurement the band would provide no support whatsoever. It would be comically loose. Also you didn’t really explain the math you did and you seem to have 3 measurements…

You seem like a really good, understanding friend. Many people wouldn’t even bother trying to understand the motives behind someone acting like that, and most wouldn’t have forgiven it!

My vote is for a girl who will be named something that begins with the letter K.

Basically you just can’t say anything against the Bey hive and not have to defend it. You’re 100% right but you’ll never get one of them to agree with you if you even hint Beyonce might be getting a little boring. Leotards are her thing, yeah, but they’ve been her thing for years now and I’m bored of it.

Also as a former ballerina/jazz/hip-hop/etc dancer? How silly of you.

Are you actually suggesting that Beyonce moves more than a ballerina? lol

Slightly OT, but did you mean “something or other”?

Plenty of nonprofits waste money.

Right, leotards are more like for practice, not performance costumes. I don’t see the big deal with any of these (except that it’s Beyonce and people will go crazy over anything she does).

Do you have some kind of illness that makes you unable to care for a child in an emergency situation? Otherwise your vertigo analogy doesn’t work and you’re still just smug about not wanting to help someone out.

Lot of selfish jerks on this thread. Wish I could say I was surprised. It’s like they’re smug about it too. “Nope! Won’t help my friends/family! Too good for that shit.” Ugh. I say this as a childless person, also.

She already signed to their label anyway.
