Here's how to avoid having the sex talk (ugh, I hate that phrase): teach your kids, in an age-appropriate way, that sex is natural and normal and human, from the time they learn how to speak.

I was single for a long time, and after a while it was only younger guys who were interested in me, in some cases a lot younger. Because guys my age wanted younger women. So what am I supposed to do? I actually resisted for a long time. But what the hell. This is who likes me. So I dated them. And it was fun. And…

Yeah, I loved that response. "Nobody really saw it so it doesn't count."

Hey! My dad likes his bling. Men should wear whatever the hell they want to wear.

That gives me an idea...

Is there a word for this particular brand of dickishness that says something is only worth having if you can deprive others? It seems to be everywhere these days.

I made that mistake once, too. As did a couple of my sisters (my sister's smarmy ex has even held office). It's really too bad, but now you know, stay away. Why would anyone even consider aligning themselves with a bunch of racists and sexists?

So how does this guy manage at the beach, with the skin-tight fabric AND exposed flesh caused by the ladies' bathing suits? Hmmmmm? What should wifey wear there?

True. Most people really love their kids, but a lot of them just find ways to use them, often as outlets for rage. Caused by their own abusive parents. It's a brutal cycle, exacerbated by the idea that "my parents did this to me so it must be okay."

No but your landlord needs to leave someone else in charge when he goes to Bali. Skip your rent next month until you get that straightened out.

Nope. All you can do is say I Told You So afterwards.

Hooray for you! I still have an ex bugging me after many years and both of our marriages to others. Some people never get the message.

Don't tell her off. You will forever be the bad guy. People (dumb people) say what they think they're supposed to say ("waiting for you to give me a grandchild") and are mystified when not everyone concurs. Just shrug and laugh it off. She will probably never stop using grandma cliches, so do your best to ignore.

Hey. She raised this guy. What she says doesn't matter. Stay away. And make sure she stays away. You are doing the right thing.

I guarantee you he'd been wanting to initiate a breakup but waited until he could find a way to blame you. Cowardice, manipulation, lack of empathy... he's a Republican allright.

You're walking a fine line because you don't want to settle, but it's lonely without a partner. Add pressure from relatives and it can get so complicated. It's important to remember that most of the pressure comes from people who are questioning their own choices so anyone who didn't do what they did cause them…

Mind if I add a little punctuation? Pig testicle-mutilating woman. At first glance I thought it was an article about a pig testicle mutilating a woman. Which would have been great if the woman was Joni Ernst.

I saw this happen IRL once. My boyfriend-at-the-time invited his new roommate on a day trip with a bunch of friends, including a woman who was separated and getting divorced. The roommate decided this woman (whom he had never met) would be his new girlfriend and for the rest of the day kept trying to hold her hand or…

Because a lot of guys that play sports are allowed to get away with all kinds of heinous behaviors, from the time they are children, as long as the team is winning. This can change, but only if we decide to hold athletes accountable for their actions. Until then, boys will be boys.
