It's not your fault, those people are horrendously inflexible and they would have been awful to work for. You had a limitation on your time and you let them know in advance, there's no more you could have done. *hugs*

I ate ALL MY FEELINGS over the past three days. When I counted up my calorie intake, it's three times the daily recommendation for women. I'm absurdly proud of that.
I've seen polyamory and open relationships work for a lot of people, but only when it's a mutual decision that comes from a place of curiosity and joy. I've also seen lots of couples attempt polyamory or open relationships after one says "lets sleep with other people or I leave", and I've never seen that work. It's an…
So sorry to hear this, Violets. I hope things get better for you, one way or another.
I dunno...I've been following the Gospel according to Meezer5 for almost a year now, following a breakup with a critical ex. The longer I'm independent, the less I ever want to live with a dude again.
Um, an IRISH series, set in Dublin. Very, very different.
Working as a therapist, I've known a few men who left their wives once they had breast cancer, and a few who left their wives after they had babies and didn't get skinny fast enough.
His research papers and books are pretty highly regarded internationally, so I imagine that's what got him the professorship.
If you cut me open heavy whipping cream, butter, chocolate and cheese come out.
I'm a woman and I'm also pretty uncomfortable with the non-consent/assault type pick ups described here. I get that there's a power differential between men and women so when a woman walks up and kisses a dude against his will, it may not be so threatening, but it still weirds me out.
The good news is that Dublin is small enough to explore at random, you don't have to plan much. Temple Bar food market on a Saturday morning is wonderful, and there are some interesting arty areas around there too. Don't drink in Temple Bar and get out before nightfall, it's a horrendous piece of paddywhackery, the…
Hey hockygrrl4, I just wanted to write to say I can't imagine the anger and pain you're feeling at your son right now. It sounds like you are being very boundaried and ethical with him, which is the kinder thing to do. People who love each other don't let them get away with evil shit. You don't want him to suffer, you…
Gruess Gott! Moepse sind auch schoen :)
Isn't common knowledge in the EU that the UK is the worst place to live?
Fun fact: The country is only technically called Eire if you're speaking in Irish, otherwise it's called the Republic of Ireland. Even in Irish, the term Eire doesn't apply to Northern Ireland.
Yes, fundie Catholics and fundie Protestants can bond over hating abortion. Isn't it sweet?
The media guidelines on reporting suicide tend to also find fault with that, as the phrase emphasises the self-directed action, which may make suicide more attractive to someone who feels helpless in their lives. It's not about what grabs me, it's about sensitively covering the topic to minimise the harm to loved ones…
Two years IS so long, and I promise it's not smelly! I've asked my family to verify it :) The fact that I don't wear it next to my skin helps though. If I were to wash it, I would handwash it in lukewarm water, gently squeeze out the excess moisture using a towel and dry it flat.
Sending you good vibes! Academia is seriously fucked up. All these intelligent people should know better, but seem to have the EQ of toddlers.
