Wouldn't that be like taking a bio lab and refusing to dissect? Maybe the prof was out of line to make fun of her, but it is a ridiculous request to make.

Years ago I had an instructor shut down a discussion about rape because some people may be uncomfortable with the topic. It was a social psych class and a student had brought up a recently published book by Thornhill and Palmer titled Rape. The student was angry because they believed the book promoted a rape apology…

Really? No other man would tolerate that?

The BDSM world is a small fraction of the population. Those who take it outside of the bedroom are an even smaller subset. Controlling, abusive men, however, are not that uncommon.

No, it's not. It's a red flag, one that points to control and abuse.

No, sexual assault is very real. However, a culture that blames women for being sexual assaulted is a dangerous one because abusers get away with the abuse most of the time.

Would you be willing to be forced to work 100 hr. weeks for half minimum wage? Or would you rather use that time in more optimum ways? You do realize that breastfeeding has not been shown to be really any better than formula? Woman have the right not to not want to breastfeed for whatever reason. It doesn't make…

You're proving my point.

Oh, look...an entitled parent who want special treatment because they have kids. Railing against the system in the US if fine, but don't make your kids your cowokers problem. They are NOT.

The friend may know someone who wishes they had chosen to not raise a younger sibling. My mom did it as a single woman and almost no help from any of the other siblings (not even those older and married). My mom regrets it and her younger sister who she raised treats her with complete contempt. I admire those who…

That's what a bad relationship can do. It can turn you into a person you don't recognize or like very much. One thing you need to reflect on is if his neglect of your needs has become emotionally abusive. He recognizes your needs but is getting sick enjoyment from deliberately not meeting them. He may like your…

It really doesn't sound promising. What happens if you really get sick? What if it's a serious acute illness or something chronic and debilitating? None of us stay young forever and terrible things can happen. What would he expect if he was seriously ill?

Of course it's always more complex, but we're going by her original post that this was a decent person who loved her, was a good partner on many levels, and who deserved much better than how he was treated. Cheating on someone while dating is horrible enough, but this is a marriage. Who are you suppose to trust in…

I fully support your logical conclusion.

No, I don't know her except for what she's said in this thread. However, what she has said shows her in a very dismal light. She left a decent partnership to someone who loves her to chase some fleeting physical feelings. I think that speaks volumes about her character.

For most people, that's the understanding of the vows you usually take when you get married. For some people, it actually means something. It certainly doesn't mean telling someone you love them, are happy you married them all the while you're screwing someone else and planning to leave. People who do that have…

Yep, the problem is obviously her and she's going to take that wherever she goes.

Well, fuck you for doing what you did to someone who loves you for some fresh dick/pussy.

Well, you know people like the OP wouldn't stick around for their partner's bout of cancer. Vows don't mean a damned thing to them.

No kidding...the OP in this thread is a schmuck and I hope her former partner found someone worthy of him. Sexual attraction fades in and out over time, but the other types of bonding is suppose to help get through those dry spells. Plus, as people age, the sex drive changes, health issues arise, but long-term…
