Breaking;

Yay for them, but boy do I hate public proposals.

omg swoon. Love. :) That is all.

It sounds like she's not doing sex right. Most of the time one person isn't into it? Youch.

Ironically referred to as common.

Silly rabbit, enjoying sex is just for the menz!

This entire thing is highly amusing. (the quibbling, not the gravity of the actual issue of consent)

So my ex used to do this thing where he would wake up and want to have sex and he would nuzzle into me and start kissing my neck and then when I would actually wake up and get into it he would whisper into my ear "Can I fuck you?" and it was SO GODDAMN SEXY.

What!? This was written by a WOMAN? Holy internalized misogyny, Batman!

"California's affirmative consent law requires affirmative consent to be obtained before a sex act qualifies as "consensual."

Weirdly enough, not only has the author convinced me that the consent law is a good idea, but also that it could use some extra bits. Like, how about a written or printed note with signature for first-time encounters? Like post-it notes of permission. Seems more romantic than waiting for a dude to just start…

Is she seriously stating that this law would discourage coercive sex... and that's why it's BAD??

It seriously sounds like she has a fearful, non-consenting sex life and I felt pity for her feeling the need to defend that.

she really must have the WORST sex if she's super convinced no one has sex with an equally willing partner.

Someone I love dearly but who has terrible taste in men is now engaged to a guy she's know for 5 months. He moved in with her days after meeting her, he bought her a promise ring that itself was almost $7000. He's going to buy her an engagement ring that's 6 figures. 6 fucking figures. When she told me how much it…

Also worth considering: divorce is expensive. There are probably quite a few people who have small rings and small weddings that simply can't afford, financially, to live separately and/or to pay for a divorce process.

Maybe they find that over time, whatever was causing unhappiness in their marriage passes, or…

Or.... people with more disposable income are more likely to be able to leave marriages they are unhappy in?

BenGHEYzi? BenGAYzi!!!! The attacks were really a hit arranged by Obama to remove his gay lover who kept threatening to expose Obama and his new flame, the collective spirit of socialism inhabiting a life-like android body with a striking resemblance to Kal Penn!!!!!!

You mean, BenGHEYzi.
