Is that the joke? I can’t even sort out what’s going on beyond “black people and bananas.. ha that’s super funny!”

“She wants to prove that Black folks are “monkeys” because we eat bananas by holding up an eaten banana?...”

Whether it’s Penn State or Harvey Weinstein, the predator is only part of the problem. The predator can only operate where there is an institutional cowardice.

Jesus tap-dancing Christ, I just cannot get past how many people were willing to look the other way on this level of horrific abuse so the school and the country could win some gold medals.

The headline of this articel does not help. Nothing was deflated. They were in kayaks, like you see in a rack on top of Subarus sometimes.

Look into the case, she didn’t murder him. She was railroaded.

Having read the novel first, I don’t like the film. In the novel, Holly Golightly starts life as a hayseed named Lulamae, who went on to be a teenaged bride to a much older man. The film glosses over those origins and therefore eliminates the character trait of toughness that Lulamae brings to Holly, making her into…

Also feel free to fuck off as well.

No, all of these statements might be true for you in your marriage, but it isn’t necessarily the case that they’re true for every marriage. Marriage is not the same for everyone, and doesn’t come with the same rules/agreements. Assuming this sort of thing is implicit, rather than making it explicit, can be a really…

Agreed about the salt and pepper. If it is a breach of etiquette for a guest to use it, why did the host put it on the table to begin with?!

It might be. Depends on the dad. I’d be cool with it. Having sex is different though, thats where I draw the line. But others might be cool with that too.

When you enter into a marriage with someone, you agree that your body is only for them.

Would someone acting in porn even be able to have great sex every 2 days?

True, she might just be a cam girl for all we know.

Actually he doesn’t say that. In fact the letter doesn’t even mention that his wife is a porn actress or even that it is porn. It just says “entered the adult entertainment industry”. Sure the implied meaning is she is an actress in porn. But she could easily just be doing solo photo shots or became a stripper.

That’s literally the first thing I tell him (just in a less ultimatum-y “this is how it needs to be or else” way). Then I offer some other approaches in case he’s still willing to try and make things work.

Depends on the context of their relationship. Also, we don’t know what she does. She might not be interacting with anyone.

Those of us raised with one or more parents on the narcissistic spectrum have been trained literally since birth to ignore the red flags, deny our own intuition, and accept the narcissist’s every boundary intrusion as wholly justified. Some of us are lucky and figure it out quickly and get better at setting and…

Why I’m skipping this? From two reviews on Amazon regarding Jen Waite’s recently released memoir.
