Have fun. If the genders were reversed no one would bat an eyelash.

Yes! Move to New York. Everybody should live in NY. Maybe not forever, but for some part of their lives. I’m so glad about the time I spent there.

Then why wasn’t it HIM getting the bigger prize?

I don’t know about most women being married to manchildren, though there are probably a lot of women who write to advice columns who are.

Still living through the trickle-down economy.

Probably they know they will be taken more seriously if they cite men.

You did absolutely nothing wrong. Wait, you did one thing wrong... you ignored your initial gut feeling about him (“a total heart breaker and too good to be true”). He’s just not a nice person. Most of us run into someone like this at one point in our lives. Their behavior seems so pointless and you want to straighten…

Hey, I know the world’s fastest drummer! He’s a really good guy. (he’s also able to talk about things other than drums)

There’s a new public market here where you pretty much get it off the boat. So amazing.

It’s my new favorite.

I hung out with Jon Stewart one night and fell madly in love. My ex/but still friend was playing a concert/comedy show and they were pretty good friends. The three of us hung out together all night and he was the best. Hilariously funny and adorable. I had the maddest crush afterwards.

White wine from a box! Somehow it works with broiled bluefish and my husband’s recipe for cole slaw. I should have taken a picture, it was all so beautiful. I love summer. And the farmer’s market.

That is seriously freaky. That belongs up with the ghost stories.

You shouldn’t have to “fight” for anything. If your SO isn’t willing to work things out, you probably don’t have much of a chance. Definitely talk about your feelings, just not with your person. I hope you have friends/family you can confide in, that will help. Good luck.

I dated a guy who decided I was his one and only after I broke up with him. He swore up and down he’d be a better boyfriend. I never took him back. Dude, if you liked me so much you would have figured that out when we were together. It seemed to me that it was his ego talking. We managed to stay really good friends…

My cousin did too. He was 48, she was 42, first marriage for both. To me it was allowable. It was actually great.

I love you.

The Right Stuff! Totally Sixties.

I think he’s really smart. I did the same after college (except I had no savings) and it forced me to learn how to be independent.
