Word. When “Step in the Name of Love” comes on at a wedding...I'm stepping! That's a damn good song! He's still a rapist though.

I can see all sides of this actually.

I get you girl, I really do. Women absolutely SHOULD change aspects of their lifestyles upon becoming pregnant.

Exactly this. That’s why we need family medical leave. Being the caregiver for a sick or dying parent of spouse is not a vacation. Neither is birthing and caring for a newborn. I hate when people frame it this way. Every single person here came out of a vagina unable to care for themselves, have some humanity.

This is perfect. I like him but also...breathe dude! It doesn't have to be all social justice all the time. He's gonna burn out.

This is beautiful.

The comments are the only reason I go there. And then they had an article about “why you shouldn’t hate read” and lol the comments were MAGIC

This is so stupid. Making me ashamed to be vegetarian and a Californian.

They got together when he was in his early/mid twenties. When they met it was more like 25 and 75. I think that’s selfish and yes predatory on the part of the older person. Some commenters have taken the fact that they stayed together these past 15 year as a sign of how strong their love is. I'm not doubting that the…

That may be true. 40 and 90 doesn’t sound as dissimilar as 25 and 75, and plus at this point they’ve already been together many years.

Maybe my cohort is skewed? My single gay friends don't want to, but the ones I know in relationships do. And we're late 20s/early 30s.

Oh no I don’t think its grooming.

Yeah that’s true, it could be an open relationship.

Oh no, that’s not what projection means. There was no “but” or other joining but contrasting word to separate the two thoughts, that's why it read that way.

Dude is gender neutral where I'm from but I'm sorry if you felt I was labeling you as a man.

Oh I inferred it because you referring to all the comments as a negative (I received so many comments because people disagreed) and then you said “You had the time to keep this thread going” it was stated as if it was also a negative, not like it was a positive reason in contrast to the first negative reason.

I don't but I understand why you would disagree. I think it's selfish on the part of the older person.

Actually, at this point it's just you.

Nothing wrong with getting old. Everyone should have that privilege. It's the age difference that is my issue, not his age itself.

I could’ve, if that’s what I thought, but I don’t think that. I think “gold digging” like you're referring to is actually hard emotional work.
