Not sure, but I think I desperately need one... my relationships are A MESS

Most teenagers don’t warm up very quickly to their parents’ new spouses...

This is not their first marriage- I think they are finding a living situation that works for more complex lives and working around the lives they already have (the kids etc)

I thought the same thing! He was so funny! That denotes humility and a good sense of humour

Noo! It’s some patriarchal bullshit! I’m 5’6 and dated a guy for a long time that was only 1/2 inches taller than me. At first he found it weird when I wore heels but he admitted to me later that it didn’t really bother him, it was just the idea. I do get your point about being bigger - my last boyfriend was extremely…

Ha! That was what I was thinking about and couldn’t figure out the logistics! Thanks for humouring me!

Good luck cutting up the edamame. Length or crosswise? And... before or after shelling?

You have just crushed my dreams!!! I immediately tried to buy this only to discover that the swimsuits for all website no longer works in Europe! Damn you data protection regulation!!

WOWWW. Both the reasons for her crying as well as the description of the decor.. I would have quit

For what it’s worth, the first time I was 20 and the second time 33. I’m white but a brunette.

I’d never go to Morocco alone!! I’ve been twice (always with men in a group) and I’ve never received more harassment.
