Hi Princess. Your story made me curl into myself-a gut reaction I haven’t had in many years but which felt incredibly familiar from a past relationship. I have comment: stay honest with your therapist so you have a touch point if this behavior escalates.

God the casual socializing known as “brainstorming.” Why are you in my office again Roger?

One of my friends, who I like from a distance, brings the drama. At first I liked her cause she coped with her high level, high stress job like I did-namely straight liquor and exercise and ranting. She was generous and fun. Then I got terribly sick... and then she got terribly sick. I’m not saying she wasn’t…

I’m having the BEST goddamn time reading these. I’m in FL on the Universal/Disney kiddo dream trip, and every morning when I wake up after hiking 6-10 miles in the blazing sun, this article is one of my presents to myself.

I think it’s the opposites. We have such huge, seemingly insurmountable challenges that the things we CAN control take on a new import.

Ehhh-I married my husband a year and 3 days after meeting. But, as someone else mentioned, we weren’t super young and knew what we wanted for our life.

This is Hops’ apology face. What does he have to apologize for, you may ask?

I’m so incredibly sorry. One of my employees and his wife are going through the same thing right now, and he talked about it for a long time today. It was heartbreaking. We did it in 2014 and man....I stil sob like a baby regularly, and I have two rescued good boys to snuggle with daily.

Sorry Urban. That sounds fucked up.

One time, when I was in my early twenties, there was a miscommunication about where I was going after church-to my parents’ house to pick up some stuff or out on a date. My parents, being under the impression that I was NOT coming to their home, left a trail of clothes leading to our den, where they were apparently…

I’m aghast. How will you read it over and over if you return it?

Oh, lord, tell me about it. It feels like everyone in my life is popping out babies right now and I. Am. Not. Coping. Well. I’m so sorry you’re dealing with it too! And you don’t want to rain on their parade, but if you’re like me, sometimes for my own health I just have to walk away.

Right here with you!! And it feels like everyone I know is pregnant.

OMG for a second I read that like the thong/low cut jeans trend was actually back and I was about to go curl up in the corner and cry because I’m OLD.

Yeah, I watched it. It was...fine. He played his upbeat songs, was reasonably respectful of Prince, and kept Ms. Jackson’s name out of his mouth. I’m not a fan of him in general, but it was exactly what a halftime show should be.

If so, why, oh why, did we eat so much shrimp?!?! Can we use your time machine to go back and have some self-control?

Thoughts so far about the Super Bowl:

Mine are from Ulta-not sure about the brand? They’re 110s, then I amp them with mascara and ooh lala! I tried to find a pic where I wasn’t making some goofy ass face but alas.

I’m going to raise my hand and say occasionally lately I say I’m busy. However, while I am busy (kid, high pressure career, etc) what I really mean is: I’m lacking the emotional bandwidth to handle this relationship right now because on top of my usual shit, I’m freaking miserable due to fertility stuff and it means…
