I wish that I could star this but I can’t. Hopefully both she and you can appreciate what you bring to the relationship!!

The legs! So worth it. I love being tall and have stopped trying to fit into the dainty box. I am broad shoulder, tall, and happy.

I am 6’0” and have pretty much been that height (or at least 5’11”) since 13/14. As a kid I did not care about being too tall - I was pretty awkward and had an equally awkward, tall, best friend so we helped each other. Being overly sexualized by others at a young age affected me more than dealing with kids my age.…

Oh gosh... that sounds horrifying. I am so sorry.

I made terrible choices with exes - both in choosing them (O.o) and in how I reacted during the break ups. Luckily, I am married to a lovely, patient, man whose demeanor is nothing less than gentlemanly and has managed to retain friendly - if distant - acquaintances with some of his less unique exes. Thus, I, too,…

That sounds terrible!! I hope that your husband treats you better than your ex did. It sounds like you are on a good path and really wish that you lead the happiest life now. We all make mistakes, especially with interpersonal relationships. BIG hug.

Yup, I don’t want to pester him on it because that’s his own prerogative, but if the last few years have shown anything, he has cut off all ties. Proud of him for that.

This, but in reverse. My husband was friend zoned in college by a girl whose bf lived nearby but never paid much attention to her. Husband would do all the Romantic stuff (yes, with capital R)... dates, listening, etc. and she clearly kept him on a tight leash. I don’t know what happened in the end, but he won’t talk…

what is it with “boxy” being so in? It is not flattering - unless you have no chest, no hips, no stomach, narrow shoulders, and basically are shaped like a prepubescent child. I can’t wait for that fad to be over.

and terrible quality!! I was given a lovely teapot from them that broke within a month or so of use. It became a broken boho flowerpot that got thrown out after less than a year of purchase.

... AND IT IS SOLD OUT!! w...t...f...

I used to work at a brand that labeled itself as “affordable luxury.” This meant spending $60 on a basic tee and $200 on acrylic/wool blend sweaters. Yes, the quality of the cotton was fantastic and 5 years in my own tees and sweaters are still going strong, but really???? The prices were not cheap - not even with our…

Went to a wedding not that long ago and kid you not - RL was there! Let’s just say that there were tons of millennial fangirls/fanboys who were super excited about him being there. Oh, and the best part? He got the bride and groom a tent.

My thoughts exactly! Hamilton was behind getting a central bank, Jackson was a general dick. I get it that they are revamping the $10 bill, but if any guy deserves being on the $20, Hamilton should be high on the list. Or another president that did less general damage.

Not only that but so many people just DON’T RSVP. Or don’t answer calls, emails, etc. Many I just wrote off - if you ignore us, fuck you, we are not friends. One told me (two weeks before the wedding (RSVPs were due one month before)) “I’m not sure yet... I will let you know next week.” ... seriously.

Not really summer but I found out the week before Thanksgiving (junior year in HS) that my dad was having an affair. A few days later we went on a trip to my mother’s native country, just the three of us. At that point, my dad knew that we knew. It was grrrrreat. To make matters much, much, much worse we ended up…

We did traditional Mexican candies stacked in a pyramid and a delicious dessert in a martini glass. Much better than cake - and I love cake!!

I remember learning about him in third or fourth grade and wondering why so many people admired him. He seemed angry, selfish, and really mean (to use my fourth grade terms).

I never understood why WHY Andrew Jackson gets the $20. He just seemed like such a nasty, nasty man with bad policies all around.
