my ex - who has the same first name as my husband

Just tell them they’re not that attractive and you don’t know who let them talk. Maybe if they were hotter you would listen to their opinions.

Female recreational cyclists do not generally need to push their limits, race against time and increase their adrenaline when riding rough downhill trails. They just want to enjoy the time spent in nature on the bike, and their expectations on the bike are completely different from the men’s professionals’. They look…

My fiancee’s ex (with whom he shares a daughter) has two additional younger daughters (with the guy she cheated on my fiancee with and is now divorced from) that will be flower girls at our wedding. She’ll be attending as well, with bells on. It’s delightfully odd and I wouldn’t want it any other way. Embrace the odd!

Team IUD.

Ex-husband told me three months before my wedding that he would appreciate getting “more notice” than 3 months in advance for “the next time” I get married. I had been engaged for 7 months at this point, and I know our kids had mentioned it because they were super excited for their new bonus dad. He then sent me a…

That’s what I thought! It seems like a huge fuck you!

I don’t want to make assumptions about what it is like to have a mastectomy. But I am imagining that if I had to have a mastectomy, even if I’ve come to terms with it and learned to accept my drastically changed body, seeing a bunch of attractive young women with their perfect breasts holding a coke can in my honor…

I shall now relate the heartwarming story of how my parents got together.

I was a little sad when my high school sweetheart got married, but I controlled myself. His wife friended me on facebook a few weeks later; since I’ve never met her and have no connection to her other than him, I assume it was to rub it in my face. Years later when I got married she unfriended me.

I found out my ex was engaged when he dropped me an insistent FB message asking for my mailing address so he could send a wedding invitation.

How about he freaked when he found out I was merely dating, even though he was the one who broke up with me?

My cousin’s ex freaked out! My cousin dated this dude for two years. We all liked him, he seemed like a nice dude, they looked like they were probably headed towards marriage... until my cousin found out he cheated on her. He spent weeks trying to get her back and she kept dodging him. Like two months later she…

When my ex found out I was dating my now-fiancé (I had to meet up with him to tell him because he was really fragile and weird and we met in college so we still ran in the same circle) he told me that I was only dating the new guy because he had “a beard and a job” and then “proposed” to me by telling me he was going…

My ex still hasn’t said shit to me about my engagement, even though we’ve texted since.

Game changer

We had a morning wedding and boozey brunch reception, so no dancing or any traditional fare. But my husband and I wanted to have our first dance in Union Square (NYC) where we had our first date and he proposed. So at around 1pm we took our photographer with us and we did our dance and I brought along the “throw away”…
