Thank you!

Thanks. I'm dismayed to hear that you're still struggling with it a year later. Sorry you are still hurting. *hugs back*

This is a wonderful story and gives me a lot of hope. Thank you.

:) I hope in 5 years, I'm also not saying that.

Thanks. Logically I know everything you are saying is true, emotionally it sucks to lose my best friend who was such a huge part of my life.

I know. I didn't care at all about turning 30 until this happened - I guess it feels like I wasted my entire 20s on something that wasn't going to work out, and it's a strange feeling.

Yeah - I am proud of us for being honest with each other. But that also almost makes it suck more - like ugh, we even broke up well.

Yeah I mean I know people don't get only one shot at happiness. But I'm just having those "I'll never find someone who clicks like that with me again" feelings.

Thanks. :)

Thanks. I'm actually proud of us both for being brave enough to be honest about what we wanted, but it still hurts like crazy.

So, I just broke up with my boyfriend of 6 years this morning. My heart is broken. And I'm scared. We broke up not for lack of love, but because we just ultimately wanted different things and couldn't reconcile them. I'm turning 30 in a few months and am so scared that I just lost my chance at happiness.

Yeah, I am a Disney devotee who is in medical school. And there are plenty of other women like me in my class. Acting like there is only one way to be an intelligent woman is really shitty.

Congratulations on being DONE! I'm in first year and miserable, so I would kill to be freaking out about match day. :) What specialty are you matching into? Good luck!

I feel worried about Letter #3. It's the girlfriend's BFF, and because the girlfriend is not involved in planning this surprise party, she isn't involved in this confrontation about BFF's husband. It's not up to the boyfriend to be doing things that might potentially end her friendship. Which, let's be honest, is…

I am 29 and still regularly eat Gushers and Fruit By The Foot. I have Gushers in my fridge right now!

I don't see the two jokes as comparable, since in one situation a 9 year old actually got called a cunt, and in this situation the author is joking about something she clearly did not actually do. But I understand what you're saying.

Agree to disagree, I guess. I see what you're saying, but to me, calling someone a c*nt is different than joking about heckling someone (and then not actually doing it.) In one situation, a 9-year-old actually gets called something horrible. In the other situation, an internet writer says she wanted to do something…

Yes, it would still be funny, because the joke is that no person would actually EVER heckle them. It's meant to be a totally absurd statement. It's a joke about how amazing they are.

Um, that comment was pretty clearly a joke?
