Thanks...and I do have a kind, high-earning sister who helps me out without me ever asking...she sends $ via Paypal on the first, like a bill, lol..for dog expenses and other things that do not fall under rent. 

Thanks, I feel a kind of freedom I had not since my twenties (am 61 now.) yet I do very little. But what I do (read, walk my dog, volunteer a bit) are my choices. One thing I noted right away is buying and eating only what I liked was a new experience. My ex hated onions, and most vegetables, so my cooking was so…

Speaking of taking responsibility...

Not to sound insensitive or anything (I’m rando on the Internet who has no idea the stuff you deal with), but have you told your husband how much his indifference bothers you? I know it’s easy to think “I shouldn’t HAVE to tell him, he should know “, but it’s possible he legit doesn’t realize how much it hurts you,…

My 20-yr marriage ended a few years ago, no kids. We did not bicker, it was all passive-aggressive on his side and silence on mine as a result. But we had stopped having good days, much less sex. Anyway, he is the one who first said he wanted to split (well, emailed...) and I was so relieved, I moved out within four…

I’m seriously dating myself here, but there was once a thing called the “Ann Landers Question,” which was a thing she (the original advice columnists) used to pitch to people like LW who were in similar dilemmas. It’s simply asking, “Are you better off with her or without her?” As trite as it might seem, it’s a useful…

This.

LW, nothing’s going to change unless you choose it.

If she’s in the guest room, she has already left and it’s probably only economic necessity keeping her there.

Sounds to me like they were made for each other. Neither has the guts to end it so she has gone aggressive while he plays the passive doormat.

That was a really sad read, life is definitely too short for that crap. You make a really good point about us passive folks. Being passive is still an action, and still holds responsibility. It’s good to be reminded of that.

Lizzo does not owe it to her supporters or anyone else to embody their projections of who she should be, or how she should behave, solely because of her fatness. Just because Lizzo is in the public eye does not mean that her body and the choices she makes about it are public domain.

Maybe she shouldn’t be hawking bullshit? Pretty easy to see why people are calling her out.

It also followed all the steps of every other celeb doing “collaborations” with detoxes/skinny teas/etc. The before and after pics and the descriptions all felt by the numbers. 

Yup. Whether she wants to go on a healthy diet (for weight loss, for health, or just to see what it’s like) is her business. But if she shills detox crap, she deserves a callout just like anyone else. This is just like CupcakKe and that monthlong water fast.

Alkaline water is such nonsense. People think it’s doing something because they are probably going from not hydrating properly to drinking an appropriate amount of water. Their bodies are going, “OH thank god for that!” If you drank a good amount of water normally, you wouldn’t feel as shit all the time.

When was the last time you saw this level of judgment directed towards any of the countless celebrities and influencers who advertise flat tummy tea?

I love Lizzo. Maybe she wanted to defend herself on the internet, and that’s fine too, but.. She could have just done the juice cleanse and not posted about it. Also I know juice cleanses are pretty useless, but I might still do one sometime, like Lizzo. . It feels good to follow a disciplined routine after a period…

She can do whatever she wants, but I, like thousands of other people who follow her, was shocked at her post. It was bizarre to see someone like her suddenly posting videos of herself from the front and the side compared with videos from 10 days earlier. Then she tagged a “health expert” in the post and thanked her…
