Yep. She's more akin to a sculptor or installation artist than a photographer.

Haha. I think mine is a bit different in that he has trouble verbalizing affection. As in he really, really can't without being uncomfortable. But yeah, cat is a perfect descriptor.

I whine until I get my way. But I am pregnant and so can get away with it :D

Ermm, I'm needy when I lay in bed and whine until my husband brings me ice cream.

Yes, because wanting my boyfriend to call once a fucking week is "needy".

If there's one thing college has taught me, it's that you CANNOT judge a relationship based only on talking to one side. I'd reserve judgement unless you talk to them both.

Yes.

Yeah, it took me the longest time to get used to my (now) husband's forms of affection. Which mostly involve poking me and making weird sounds at me, or acting like a spoiled brat when he wanted affection.

Yeah, grade A doucebag says something that resonates with a few people and then they defend him in everything he says, to the point of trampling the voices of those WoC who don't agree with him.

I think he was on-point for a lot of stuff.

That's really fucking condescending.

"Mother" is not insulting at all.
