Or renegotiate the terms of your relationship. I’m being a bit unfair here, because sexual fidelity is super low on my list of relationship necessities. I generally defer to the other person’s desires, because it really doesn’t matter to me. But if my partner decided he wanted to cheat/already cheated and would do it…

I thought it was just me and that I maybe had a serious brain problem (which I choose to ignore, if it’s true). I feel better now.

Yep. I posted a comment, but I think it bears repeating: Using financial dependency as a tactic to emotionally manipulate your child is abuse. And typically it’s not the only issue in the relationship. As a survivor of parental abuse, the mother in this piece raises major red flags all across the board.

Well, that’s only natural you wouldn't want that in a relationship, and honestly, those types of people probably don’t want a relationship, which is why they are the way they are.

There’s a difference between “I like this thing” and “this thing is so important to me and is such a cornerstone of my life that it’s necessary for my partner to be of like mind.” The second, in my book, should be the province solely of religion, politics, and philosophy.

Hey you know what? More power to both of them. They each have their own standards for how they want a relationship to be and what they want out of it. By adhering to them, they've realized they're not compatible and are going their separate ways to find spouses that are more suited to their needs and wants. That's…

This is the kind of statement that moves me further away from the feminist movement. I’m male, a feminist, son of feminist parents, husband to a feminist, father of a 20 mo feminist-to-be. Yet every article here, every posting on NARAL and PP’s fb, ig, twitter, are loaded with comments from women who condemn all men…

I was with you until the last bit. That is such a horrible, massive generalization that has no bit of merit to it.

A planned parenthood in Ohio was the only place that would treat me when I was having pregnancy complications with no health insurance. I was visiting family, and just found out I was pregnant the day before I left. I woke up one morning during my visit with intense cramping and severe bleeding. I had no idea what to…

Pale-shamers are the fucking worst. Like do you know what I would have to do to maintain a year-round tan?! Who has that kind of time/money/nonchalance about skin cancer and leather skin?

Robots aren’t typically programmed to be sexist, racist, or bigoted in any way. That already makes them more tolerable than many, many humans.

Exactly! Since the judges know that rape is a systemic crime in jail, one would think that their first line of order might be to do something about it! Rather than use it as a normative description. This is just what happens, son.

It’s concerning that everyone accepts rape as a normal part of prison life rather than an institutionalized problem that is largely ignored by prison administration and the press (unless it's a joke in a movie about not dropping the soap).

‘A perfectly reasonable product next to a dangerous and heinous one,” thinks both political parties.

Don’t make fun of our vowels and I won’t make fun of yours. Our laptops are made by blackberry and, like enforced wearing of lululemon we must purchase them all. It’s basically a soviet gulag up here. We can only clean our bathrooms once a month when the lysol shipments from the usa arrive. someone send help. or build…

Really? Wow! So it totally IS my fault that I didn’t just fix the problem all on my own. How sad that it never occurred to me to Google, “How does my wife want me to kiss her?” and be rewarded with all the information I needed. Also, to my knowledge, she has never written a book about how she wants to be kissed. So I…

the way this is arranged makes it look like a lace butthole. like they’re crotchless and have just a bit of lace to make anal really fancy!

I think your first paragraph gives them way too much credit. I think the 24 hour resolution thing is to try to create more drama-laden content for their site. I think they are purposely trying to stir up HS type drama in a public forum and monetizing it.

Does the fact that I am deeply concerned with at least 4 of the items on the top 10 worst fears list mean I should maroon myself on an island?

I think this is very important. Many people will say “Well, you should just learn this from interacting with other people when you’re growing up.” What happens when the people you interact with are crap? What if you grow up in a dysfunctional home (where you learn most of your social skills), or get bullied at school?…
