She said in an earlier episode that she insisted David give her every detail of the affair — every restaurant he ever went to with the other woman, every meeting date, etc. I doubt he volunteered it. And now she uses it against him.

You are spot on! She is all about punishing David, not about moving forward, and her kids are just collateral damage. Everything is all about her — a great example was her instance on telling Vicki about the other housewives doubting Brooks’ cancer during dinner and her subsequent crying jag over how she ruined the…

I agree re: Shannon. I really did not like her at all at first. But, then she has scenes like Mo’orea where she’s being fun and silly, and it seems like that’s who she really is with a dash of neurotic. However, this shit with David is dragging her into a bubble of perpetual sadness. She’s like Eeyore most of the time.

Second half of the RHONY reunion and Below Decks season premiere tonight. My life is truly complete.

He and his hat are the douchiest husband NO DOUBT.

You really don’t. In this case, ignorance is truly bliss. On the other hand, Below Decks starts tonight. I want to “yacht”.

Even before the affair came up, Shannon was so critical of everything. David looked like he’d checked out years ago. She’d complain because he ate chips and salsa every day and got upset he had a drink because she said he never drank, while she downed vodka left and right to the point her daughter said she was fun at…

I am a vegetarian by choice, have a few dislikes (eggs, blech), and unfortunately a pretty long list of allergies and intolerances (lab tested). It fucking sucks. My guts have basically never worked right and we’re trying to fix that but in the meantime, I can’t eat a whole, whole lot of things. Even feeding myself is…

The Maxwell House coffee can is a nice retro touch. So is the brandy. Probably helps kill whatever is on that cake.

Hi. I think I may have some insight for you.

I am in a similar boat. I am headed to grad school abroad sans visa and my sister is literally not talking to me even though I leave next weekend and my anxiety has been piqued these last few weeks.

Please don’t feel like an idiot! I’m so glad that you’re feeling better now but it’s worth remembering that at the time, putting the brakes on India may really have been what was best for you and your mental health. To me, that’s really brave! If now that the dust has settled a little bit you’d like to go, you’ve got…

Why couldn’t Lifetime do the Unauthorized Growing Pains Story? This is boring so far, and they haven’t convinced me that anything that interesting or scandalous happened to warrant a two hour movie.

Hey look, what I do whenever I know I screwed up and need a second chance but most likely won’t get it: I ask for it anyway. What’s left to lose? The thing is, if you don’t send that email you’re already giving yourself no as an answer. The only way to have a different answer is to try, by sending the email you’ve…

Send it. The worst that can happen: they say no anyways and you never have to deal/ see them again (so, you end up in the same situation you are in now). The best that can happen: they say yes.

Am I the only person who feels weird when people flirt with them? I am so pathologically unused to being flirted with and then last week I got hit on twice and it made me feel weird then and I feel weird now. I am so uptight.
