Paula Dean said, “it’s the sexiest thing I have ever seen, and by a big margarine.”

I can feel the abyss staring back

I remember seeing an article where the couple did this:

Agreed. Had a similar situation with my wedding—toxic friend who questioned everything from my wedding colors (“Gold dresses? I’ll never find shoes to go with a gold dress. What color goes with gold?” “Literally any color you want.”), to being involved (“You want me to be a bridesmaid? I just feel like it means I have…

After going through something quite similar with a former friend, I have this to offer:

Yep. To quote Dear Sugar: suppose she shows up and behaves well and doesn’t do anything to embarrass you—what do you get out of it, really? Proof that she can treat you well, she just doesn’t want to, most of the time? Even more anxiety because the longer she doesn’t act up, the more afraid you are that she will? Your…

Anxiety Monster: this woman is not your friend. She is your abuser. It is OK and normal for you to feel love for her, because that is what abusers do; they exploit the good impulses of their victims (that’s you). Otherwise, they wouldn’t have anyone to abuse. You wouldn’t stick around for it.

I have had so many shitty, self involved friends over the years that I thought cared about me more than they actually did/at all.

Do it today. Don’t let it drag out. Then you can enjoy your wedding planning and hopefully resolve your friendship fight by your wedding. Also no matter what, even if you two are working on your friendship, don’t invite her. It’s too big of an event to hope that she has magically changed. She can prove that she is a…

I agree and I’ve been here before. Cut her loose. You’ll be a happier person because of it. “Friends” don’t do shit like that.

I suspect that if you dumped her as a friend it would eventually feel like a huge relief and you’ll be happy you did it.

Maybe I’m just awful, though.

eh, she seems like the kind of woman where screwing her significant other would take you from step A to Hep C.

Just if you wanted to see what she would have had to gone through to get one in TN:

Pro-choice or pro-life, we can all agree that this is horrific. But by all means, let’s continue to restrict availability and access to safe and legal abortion, the vast majority of which will occur long before 24 weeks.

this is what happens when help is not available.  

Starred for Randy Giles

LOL, me too. Giles and Spike together were so great.

Also because we completely lack an adequate word to describe the role of pet carer. Owner and master are both gross and feel cold. They also don’t really convey the sense of responsibility you should have to your pet. It might not be as difficult as actual parenting but you are 100% responsible for your pet’s needs…
