Yes!!! He made me believe that I deserved to be treated well. I now tell all my friends to never compromise on how well a significant other treats you. You can decide what other traits are right for you, but never compromise on that. 

Good luck!! :)

Yup. Ignoring is always the best action. He also sounds like a jerk with little self awareness who took for granted how well you probably treated him, and now that he doesn’t have that anymore, he wants you back. Engaging him will only lead him to further cross your boundaries with his toxic behavior.

Maybe she thought you were lying about the surgery to get her to feel sorry for you? Any and all texts from exes are inherently suspect in my mind.

Oh noooooooooo!!!! This is amazing. Then what happened?? I’d watch the ensuing movie.

Are you...me?? Because I experienced the SAME thing after my emotionally unavailable ex broke up with me. I would constantly send him texts with increasing desperation which he would ignore. Online dating afterwards and talking to all the would-be fuckbois out there didn’t help either. A year later I started dating my…

LMAO omg. How did the boss take it? 

This is the funniest comment I’ve read in a very long time. Thank you.

Yeah, I was agreeing with you and trying to reinforce your point. 

The issue isn’t just whether or not to give money/welfare to the poor. If Republicans want to eliminate welfare entirely, that would make more logical sense according to their so-called beliefs. The issue is Republicans also want to dictate how the poor spend their money. Food stamps are already limited to food. But…

My point is Republicans like to make the argument that they want less government control and interference in their lives, but they seem to OK with the government dictating the spending habits of poor people, even if it would be bad for capitalism, because it would mean them buying fewer consumer goods. My point is…

Exactly. Do you know who I consider rich? Someone who owns property that is paid in full and has no trouble meeting tax and insurance payments of all kind and payments for retirement. That may not sound very fancy at first but in Los Angeles it requires a LOT of money. Like “top 5% rich” type of money. On the other…

Superb description.

During her show this week Laura Ingraham was practically sneering at her, calling her a “kid” who dared to be noisy and unrestrained while debating issues and (to Ingraham’s glee) dividing Democrats against Pelosi.

“You’re poor! How dare you have anything that brings you happiness and comfort! I as a taxpayer demand that the government approve all of your purchases and actions!” -Republicans who claim to support capitalism and less government control over citizens.

Fair point about paternity leave. I agree with that. In my mind I wasn’t talking about paternity leave. Just taking time off here and there for family obligations. Obviously companies can differ a lot, but in general, being a mother is perceived negatively at work, while being a father is perceived positively. It’s…

Yes!! Her message was to play along with the rules, even though the game is rigged against you from the start. Instead her message should be to change the game.

Nope, I became successful by working hard and working long hours, but what also helped me was (despite the recession) not taking shitty jobs for low pay, ensuring that my compensation was always increasing. What also helped me was being nice and pleasant, which led to making friends with colleagues who referred me for…

When a woman who is successful because she is rich and privileged gives advice that can only be heeded if you yourself are rich enough to hire a nanny and a housekeeper, at the same time refusing to acknowledge that there is something wrong with the current sexism of corporate culture, then yes, the rest of us will…

Providing low-priced competition to eliminate the pink tax, and promoting body positivity by providing well fitting bras in more sizes does a lot to support feminism.
