I based an entire successful career in a very niche role in investment management on faking it till oopsie, I was considered an expert. I was fresh out of law school and had no clue what I was doing in the first two years in the role. I was given little guidance beyond "well, you're smart, just trust your judgment."

I have found confidence to be a "FITYMI" strategy. If you can get through the blushing, ignore the trembling voice and hands, and get your message across - doing it enough with make all of that go away and leave you a sharper, more outgoing person.

This story makes me uneasy.

Oh give it a rest. Lots of people 'maintain their desirability' after they've been married for a while, and still get cheated on. Let's be clear here, cheating has very little to do with the victim, and everything to do with the cheater. If you don't want to fuck your husband anymore, fine, but don't blame him.

For a girl from Spence, she has SHIT taste in dresses. That dress? Those cheap extensions? The caked make-up? The Claire's jewelry? Lady, nothing aspirational about this pic.

I'm sorry about that but, in fairness, I wasn't in charge of your schoolin'.

$45 Is it made from wax from the Dalai Lama's ear!? Or Amniotic fluid or something?!

I have been spending the past 3 hours reading and rereading this article. I simply cannot believe the angle it takes. From a plain journalistic perspective, what is this article trying to accomplish? Boiled down its about a woman that cheated on her sick husband that requires her to take care of him, and after he

Why is everyone applauding? She's intentionally sleeping with married men. Doubt most of them have an open marriage agreement like she does.

That's so hurtful and so shitty. Congrats on having great communication in your marriage. That really was cool to hear. Also, you're legitimately awful.

The OP seems like an ass, but this woman started cheating on her husband mere months after he was diagnosed with a serious illness. I don't think she's a slut, I think she's a self-absorbed, selfish jackass.

The problem with cheating is more than the act of having sex with another person. It's the lying, the deceitfulness, sneaking around, and treating someone you're suppose to love and have taken vows with like they don't matter. So, no, I have no empathy for people like that.

Just from some of the quotes from her side of the story, I can see that it's almost certainly not a normal, healthy poly relationship

If he needs as much caretaking as it seems, he doesn't really have much of a choice. Its either acquiesce or lose your wife and caretaker.

Not going to lie, I find this a little upsetting as a person with health issues that have gotten in the way of things physically speaking. If this works for you, great. But I would be incredibly hurt if I found out my husband was cheating because of my illness without at least discussing that possibility first. Do the

"Yeah, I think the fact that when he found out they didn't just call it quits and they found a way to make it work for both of them was particularly beautiful."

A lot of people "let themselves go" after kids because they are exhausted, unsupported, and kids are a fucking lot of work.

I hate people who can't control their sexual urges and believe they always must be acted upon. There's more to life and love than getting boned every day. This woman is just a slut, plain and simple. I respect people more when they just admit that they're sluts as opposed to trying to rationalize it all away with lots

I don't get why people are saying monogamy is a social construct. Like, isn't pretty much all social behavior a social construct? Like being in an open relationship, using a toliet, good posture, slouching, eating doritos, etc. are all social constructs?

I'm fine with the arrangement this couple has worked out, whatever works for you. But I'm guessing a lot of the men she sleeps with don't have similar arrangements with their wives, and their wives would be devastated by this. I can't imagine my partner sleeping with someone else because I had cancer, or depression,

I didn't see anything about any potential guilt about being the person someone else in a less mutually agreed upon monogomish situation might be cheating on their spouse with but other than that, you know, seems above board.
