‘Murica!

I went out with some friends for my 40th and got carded which made me happy until one of my younger friends said about the bartender “You know she works for tips right?”

Did you ever see the Queen of Versailles doc that was on Netflix a while back (not sure if it’s still up) about the wife of the bazillionaire timeshare guy? They started making the film about his wild success/her lifestyle, and partway through the housing market collapsed and credit dried up and his whole business

It was weird because I had never heard of her before and she was on WTF (Maron). The next night it seemed like “Baby Cobra” came up on my netflix..and it was the funniest set I had seen in years!

I’m so sorry - you’re getting some really good responses (minus the obvious douche). So many men will fuck good and well knowing the consequences but don’t care? during said fucking which is completely irresponsible and immature. It just really shows some serious immaturity and that’s kind of alarming at this early

Do not listen to the Schwag your husband is an adult. Nobody pressured him to have a baby. He could have taken a strong stance on kids but he decided to actively participate on this. Like someone else posted here men who impregnate women have at least a financial responsibility even if it is a one night stand. He KNEW

Two thoughts that haven’t been mentioned that are VERY common in the situation you describe. One, he probably has emotional and/or physical needs that were being met when it was the two of you that aren’t now that it’s the three of you. Obviously he’s doing a shit job at talking with you about this and is instead

Fuck off.

I’m sorry. It sounds like he wasn’t ready to grow up, but it’s too late to realize that. I don’t know what you can do aside from therapy or making a plan to leave if he isn’t willing to work on the relationship. Sadly you can’t fix someone else or force someone else to treat you better, they need to want it for

If you could get him to marriage counseling that’d be great, but it sounds like that might be tricky right now. Is he the type that you could just sit him down and do some straight talk? Like “you make a lot of comments about us having Daughter because I wanted a baby even though you were ambivalent. But we did, and

Wow, he sounds emotionally manipulative, or even emotionally abusive, and it sounds like he resents the baby. Is family therapy a viable option? If he won’t see a counselor, do you belong to a religious group where someone can offer guidance and/or counseling? I don’t think he’ll snap out of it or that he will grow

I’m so sorry, that sounds really really tough and such an awful thing for you to deal with. I can’t even imagine 😞 he definitely sounds resentful and that needs to be explored. Has he given up something, like a hobby or job? Does he feel neglected because of your bond with the baby? He needs to learn how to

I recommend works by Katharine Phillips who has done some pioneering work on Body Dysmorphic Disorder. Her first book was The Broken Mirror, and she discussed how SSRI’s seemed to be effective in treating many cases. One of the most compelling cases was a man who actually saw holes in his teeth which didn’t exist.

Nice use of an ableist slur to judge a 20yo woman’s body, bro.

I am trying not to be super salty about this because any improvement would be good but for fuck’s sake. It is REALLY HARD for me to be rooting for better paternity policies for men (especially in other countries) when the maternity policies here in the US are still a goddamn crapshoot. I know it’s not the point of the

Capitalism wants more workers, doesn’t want to cover the labor and expense of creating them and so offloads it onto current workers while still demanding the total output of their labor for current industry.

“You are happiness,” Seacrest tells Ripa before kissing her on the head.

That is the strongest statement that I have EVER seen a business put out, especially considering they are a sporting goods store which ties directly into the outdoors culture. This made me tear up. I’m sure they’ve run the numbers and realized just how devastating this statement could be, but they did it anyway. What

Any chance they’ll keep his character but replace him with an actual trans actor? Like a Becky/Roseanne situation
