I’m not sure if this will help or not, but you ARE getting over him! What was it like when you first broke up? I bet you felt at least as bad as you feel now, except all the time. I bet you’d be washing your hands and you’d burst into tears because you’d be thinking about how his sink had the best water pressure or…

As someone who has done both (not as a missionary, the bible was a textbook that term, we were treating it as historical literature of the Judaeo-Christian faiths) trust me, it was not the freaking books.
Right? I was willing to meet him until the meme. I thought at the very least it might make an interesting story.... I’m sure the Ed Hardy sparkle would have been strong with him... ha!
he sent me an MRA meme Titled “Feminist Hypocrisy” with a “Haha this is a good one”
So... I bought a fancy new ring yesterday! I work there, and got it for 50% off.... so yay for me!
My life is finally getting its shit together. I’m taking a VISTA Leader position in Vermont, my finances aren’t on fire, and my summer project absolutely rocked. This is a weird feeling for me.
Good job, TSA. Keeping the world safe from terrorist paper cuts.
Oh, FFS. This whole bag check thing wouldn’t have anything to do with Delta Sigma Theta being a historically black sorority, would it? Naah!
Plus, people forget the even more disturbing part of this story: there were some extremely damning and seemingly plausible accusations of child molestation leveled against Woody that involved him molesting his ACTUAL adopted daughter, Dylan (as though his being a father figure instead of “real” father to Soon-Yi makes…
UGHHHHH my eyes melted out of my face when I read that then my face melted off of my body then i died.
See, though the way he’s phrasing it suggests any power she has in the relationship she has because it was granted to her by him which is in itself problematic.
that’s what makes my teeth bleed too. relationship dynamics are all over the place, but to envision and then pursue a “fling” with your teenaged stepdaughter AND when you are 35 years older? just blech.
I met my husband when both of our daughters were nine years old. We dated for several years before we got married. If he had started sleeping with my daughter 10 years later after me giving birth to his child....y’all....Y’ALL....just put some money on my books at the commissary. I’d have been in jail.
Like, whatever I guess, they’ve been married for 20 years and obviously this dynamic works for them. It makes me knee-jerk grossed out to read these comments now, but there are a million kinks and relationship types and preferences I will never understand, nor do I need to.
She deferred to me, and I was happy to give her an enormous amount of decision making just as a gift and let her take charge of so many things.
Yeah but I don’t think he’s used to people calling him on it. He’s been happily being a creep and having zero consequences for it so I think people starting to publicly shame him about it is probably a good step.
I am loving everybody trying to out-Trump Trump. The entire nasty id of the Republican party is being exposed to the world. It’s only a matter of time before one of them uses the n-word.
Not that it’s terribly important, but for some cultural context: for middle-class Torontonians, going up north to cottage country is a yearly ritual in summer. If your family doesn’t have a cottage, it’s likely that you’ll know someone who does. For a lot of kids, visiting friends at their cottages represents, for…
