Yes. It may sound harsh, but it doesn’t matter why he’s doing what he’s doing. That can be sorted when you aren’t above a financial abyss. SECURE YOUR OWN MASK FIRST.

Exactly! It must be heartbreaking to witness this, but he’s being cruel and she will be in a much better position to help him (should she wish so) if the rest of her life isn’t falling apart.

It may be his grief, or the alcohol, or his meds, but you need to protect yourself first (a bit like they say in those inflight safety videos). Get a lawyer, secure your finances and independence, and only then see if / how much you want (and can) help him. I’ve seen too many girlfriends get left high and dry in a…

I’m so sorry; that is all devastating. It is possible that it’s the alcohol, lack of meds, and grief talking, but you need to protect yourself. From what he is saying he does not have your best interests in mind, so you need to protect yourself; get yourself a lawyer, as soon as you can, and start documenting his…

I thought I’d whine somewhat anonymously.

THE BON APPETIT TEST KITCHEN PERSONALITIES ARE TECHNICALLY YOUTUBERS AND REDEEM THE ENTIRE SITE!!! A HILL I WILL DIE ON

All my fellow misandrists, ready to cancel men!

Whenever I hear someone complain about needing to be PC all I hear is “ugh I don’t want to have to be polite”. 

I’d be down to cancel “Cancel Culture”, if we define it as the whiny bleat of someone getting pushback for being a shitty human being. That’s far more aggravating than actual cancel culture, which really doesn’t exist and is much less corrosive than shitheaded pissants who rail against “snowflakes” and grossly…

Black Widow, the character, has been overshadowed for me by Scarlett Johansson, the asshole.

You’re in luck, Scarlett Johansson will almost certainly try and play a black woman in a movie sometime in the next few years. 

My husband and I will start trying to conceive in the next couple months and, if things go according to plan, are extremely excited to announce the pregnancy as “Untitled My Last Name/His Last Name Project.”

Honestly it sounded pretty tongue-in-cheek to me and it got blown WAY out of proportion. Was it a dumb thing to state on the record? Sure. Is it worth these ladies public shaming? Fuck no. 

Thank you! I didn’t appreciate, “This author is good enough for teen girls but not my thing,” implying teenage girls have low standards. I wouldn’t complain about it or run to Twitter, but I didn’t think it was cool either. A shrug is the biggest response from me.

Of course young women are allowed to dislike books “written for them.” (Although it’s worth noting that intended audience is a marketing concern, not a literary one. Most of us can get something out of most books, regardless of whether or not we’re the intended audience, and thank god for that. Reading books you’re…

The same way other public entities are funded, with tax dollars. Likely with fewer tax dollars than those private monstrosities as we don't have to guarantee a certain occupancy level which is an abomination. 

Yeah, I’m a little conflicted on this one but overall the author is being petty.

Thank you because I’ve been confused about what the heck a VSCO girl is but since I’m only a 90's/00's girl, I didn’t want to ask and risk looking very stupid.

I know it’s hard to leave old friendships behind, but this one has run it’s course. You’re trying not to offend a truly offensive human being. You don't want to hurt her feelings but she doesn’t care if she craps all over yours. I don’t know what she was like before, what the two of you have been through together,…

I don't even think she comes off particularly angry!  She is emphatic and uncompromising but seems optimistic and energetic to me.  Angry is not a word i would have come up with for her at all.
