At the school where I teach, we had a student presentation a few weeks ago about the broad topic of pronouns. One of the students mentioned that there’s been a lot of really interesting work being done in Romance language countries on development of neopronouns for exactly that reason.  I haven’t looked much into this…

Sorry about your kid. Savage Nobody knows what it’s like to be anxious about things you can’t control. First, let me recommend that you look into support groups for parents of children with this condition, if you haven’t already. Since they have first-hand experience with this they probably have more insight into…

When he talks about trying to “romance” her, this is all I can think of:

34 years of not getting his wife off. And she’s still there. Dude, STFU about the vibrator. 

I thought the same.  My 19 yr old still lives with me while going to college.  I own his vehicle, pay his insurance, etc.  I say I “allow” him to do stuff, I mean he legally could do what he pleases but then he would be walking and living elsewhere.  No I’m not strict and pretty much let him do what he wants.

I love your point about this being part and parcel with helping people wo have earned it.

I am not sure if he is gaslighting me or if he honestly remembers things differently.

It was an unreleased Fountains of Wayne song. Pretty sure they played it in concert, but it was never on an album.

And also, Public Service Announcement: if you think you’re having a heart attack or a serious asthma attack that might kill you, do not wake up your spouse and ask them to drive you to the hospital. CALL 911. The EMTs have the equipment to save your life if it comes to that, and your spouse does not, and especially…

They’re also rich, so could easily rent a place for as long as is necessary even if they sold their one and only house. They aren’t quite like the last time I changed apartments and one lease ended on the 31st while the other didn’t start until the 5th and ended up crashing with some very kind but very unenthused…

Being popular and good at your job can be exhausting.

another recent item in my brain, which is that one time Ellen drank three weed drinks and took two melatonin, and then had to drive her wife to the hospital for emergency appendix surgery

I totally get that, and I wasn’t making any judgement of the choice of venue at all.  I just noticed it, is all.  

sure, but you’d think that someone of his fame wouldn’t have to go hit the clubs right after coming out of rehab. i’m sure he could sell out any theatre or auditorium in most cities

Reportedly he was sober during his stand-up specials and the SNL episodes people liked, and he was off the wagon during his weird chats with Seth Myers and the SNL episode people didn’t like as much.

While writer number 2 has low self-esteem and it would definitely help to talk to someone about it, he likely also is looking at his new love with rose colored glasses. His boyfriend probably is attractive and gregarious and all that, but I’m sure he has flaws and insecurities, too. He’ll likely learn that if he…

Yeah, he should’ve had it at one of those famous comedy clubs that don’t serve alcohol

I have !
She was incredibly beautiful, sexy eastern euro accent, we had great sex, and after a few months of happiness, she started showing gold digger tendencies, and getting upset at material stuff about me like how I didn’t have a car, how I should switch jobs because they didn’t pay shit (we met at work and started…

1) People can be both dom and sub. It happens. I sure am.
What he did is still shit tho. Talk to your lady ffs, it’s not that hard. You might even find out she’s ok with it. She seems like it anyways, she sounds confused, not angry.
And it’s not fucking interactive porn, it’s multiple years of the same woman. There is a…

Yeah, even if she would never miss the money it seems like Dan totally missed the point of the question - she feels like he was lying to her, she feels like maybe they aren’t as compatible as she thought, she is having an emotional/psychological reaction to this. And Dan got all hung up on the money and kinda gaslit…
