I know, I know. Way easier to prove tweets were sent from his device, etc., and of course it was consensual, blah, blah, blah.

Maybe make him/his family pay for all of the police time/expense it took to catch him when they could have been pursuing actual criminals. I bet that's a hefty sum, but less than $10K.

I know the difference is that they had hard proof that he did it, but anyone else finding it ironic that tweeting about rape gets the book thrown at you, while actually raping someone usually brings little response from law enforcement. See police responses when athletes are accused of rape.

I was so shocked my school wasn't on that list I did some digging. Apparently they have truly cleaned up their act. They are now getting sued by the rapists they expel. I am delighted they are expelling them. I never donated money because of the rape problem (apparently I was ahead of the trend on that one), but…

Good. There's a few kids in the neighborhood I'd like to feed it...

I was young (21), dumb, and really in love. I wasn't ready for it to be over yet. And he was charming as hell (could sell snow to Alaskans charming). And fun. And he was honest about it all. Part of me wanted to dump him and go cry a river, but part of me wanted to beat him at his own game. Which I did. It…

Whether or not this particular story is true is unclear, but I guarantee that countless women have lived this particular soap opera IRL, myself and other on this thread included.

"Men are really simple that way." This is my favorite quote from this whole discussion.

I'm assuming the hut is really well stocked with munchies. And drugs.

He's 20. She's 33. (Hanging my head in shame because I just googled that.) Like I said before. Ewwwww.

Paris Hilton and Bieber? Just seeing their names together made me throw up in my mouth a little bit. Ewwwww.

Thanks. If you think about it, this fashion rule really works for trends and fads. There is an exception: you can continue to wear your throwbacks in the privacy of your own home. So bust out that 80's neon for lazy weekends at home.

You will. They are out there. I promise. Sending hugs.

Much as I hate the wrinkles and gray hair, I do like being smarter about men than when I was younger, cuter, and stupider. The stuff I put up with in the name of love. Yours sounds like mine in that I was smitten and he was charming and fun. Sounds like you wised up pretty fast. It took me a while (I was young,…

Mine was honest. And not a bad guy. Just surprised at how things worked out.

I wanted to post that I have a co-worker like you. She loves being pregnant in that she feels better in every way than she does when she isn't pregnant. She says her energy is better, she doesn't even catch colds, her mood is better, etc.

If it makes you feel better, my mind went there while I was writing it too!

Oh my! His friends. Even better. I needed a bit more separation than that.

Yes! Thank you. Exactly as I imagined it in my head :)

This happened to me decades ago in my misspent youth. Guy I loved with all my heart wanted an open relationship. I didn't, but said okay. I got a date the same day and he was SHOCKED. I can still taste the sweet revenge. It never occurred to him that I would get as much action as I did. He was, in all fairness,…
