Thankyou, and I do have other friends, but this one, these group of women, we’re special to me. I was out with someone else last night having a fantastic time, and she can just go fuck herself. My poor husband just stood there and didn’t even know what to say to me. He has rarely seen me cry, so I’m sure he was…

Dear gods, is this perfect timing. This past summer, my best friend suddenly became hostile and unfriendly; no warning, no explanation, no anything. Then I found out that she had been excluding me from activities we used to do with two other gfs, and then posting their fun on Facebook for me to see. This put the other…

Spent the day sitting at a bar on the boardwalk, people watching with a gf, drinking orange crushes, which are yum. Going out tonight for wine. It’s a dranky drank kind of Saturday!

You should of known better!

Haha, sometimes, I think the same thing. It’s wrong, I know, but some days....

It’s another “what color is this article of clothing” thing, this time, a jacket.

Well, I’m almost 54, so you have time :-) Then there are the jowls....

See my reply to BoobPunch. Bellies are awful, traitorous bitches.

Okay, so I’m post-menopausal, and I’ve found that what aged me suddenly is the neck. You can have a wrinkle-free face, Botox up the wazoo, whatever - the neck gives you away faster than anything. I lost a lot of weight around 50, and was shocked (!) to see an old lady neck emerge as I did.

See, the false rape allegation aspect is what I was trying to get at without being excoriated on a feminist website. I am and was raised to be a feminist. I understand the preponderance of rape on college campuses. However, I also know that men need to find a way to protect themselves, as well. However, that’s a…

I know, right? But so far, he’s followed more in my feminist, atheist, democrat footsteps vs. his dad’s republic catholic tendencies. And it’s hard at his school, because it’s mostly wealthy kids, with republican parents, who naturally follow their parents. I will never forget him coming home one day in fourth grade…

I feel lucky that my parents raised my siblings and me in a basically egalitarian household; I raised my son the same way, even though it’s been an occasional uphill battle, because his father was raised in a clearly more traditional type household. He’s a varsity athlete and very steeped in that macho “culture,” but…

He’s in a private school where the class size is around 100, and many of these kids have been together since 1st grade. They really seem to see each other as more brother/sisters, and most of them date outside of the school for that reason. In other words, he has a lot of platonic females friends. :-) I guess that…

Thank you for this. Some of this I have expressed to him, but yes, suggesting waiting until the morning is a good idea. I just know what happens when horny drunk people get together; been there too many times. But this will be part of the discussions, so thanks for the suggestion.

First, I’ve been sick and on antibiotics for a week now, so I get it, and please excuse my previous inability to state my question more clearly. :-) Second, you’re absolutely correct, and I appreciate this perspective. My concern is that he not see women as the enemy out to get him, while still maintaining a level of…

Thank you for saying out loud what I was afraid to put into words here (rape accusations). You’re correct and I appreciate the wording of your response and support. He really is a good person, and I’m inordinately proud of how he’s turned out, so I guess I need to trust his judgment, as well. :-)

Thank you for your answer. So how do I address the fact that both people make mistakes in judgement when drinking? I don’t know how to ask this, but sometimes things are murky and alcohol can make situations murkier. I’m not sure how to ask what I’m asking, which is odd for me, because I’m usually not tongue-tied…

As the mother of a son, I have a serious question that’s been on my mind for a while, but first, some background. I grew up in a family that didn’t shy away from discussing sex, so it seemed like I just always knew what it was, and my parents acknowledged my budding and very clear sexuality by the time I was 11. I now…
