Really? I did not have that problem, nor has anyone else I know who’s had an IUD. Although my doctor warned me about 1 million things unlikely to go wrong, she certainly didn’t mention becterial vaginosis as something that was “most women” get.

If you’re rocking condoms, no need to rock that boat- but I had a similar problem with seasonique and bc in general. After going bc free for about a year, I got the Mirena, and I love it. The dosage is low enough that I don’t have the same problems I had with oral contraception, but is enough that it helps lessen the…

Looking at that actually makes me physically uncomfortable.

This sounds AMAZING. Please report back after the wedding.

Don’t get hung up on whether you or anyone else thinks you’re “crazy.” Sometimes I can manage life on my own, and sometimes I need assistance. Sometimes that assistance is medication, sometimes it’s a therapist, and sometimes it means scaling back my life a bit. It’s just a medical condition. After years of…

Matthew Muller, 38, a Harvard-educated former attorney,

I’m 33, which means I am counted as both GenX AND as a Millenial but actually I understand neither.

My partner and I have this problem too- it’s very easy for mental illness to become the elephant in the room. We both oscillate between “not at all a problem” and “this is seriously affecting our lifestyle.” It can come and go, which I think makes it easier to ignore, or pretend that we’re just going to wait it out.…

Yeah, my priority is seeing people in person instead of talking on the phone. Since I spend the bulk of my non-working non-sleeping time travelling, seeing my friends in person, or volunteering, I don’t think my friends feel neglected or unloved if I don’t give up my only 20 minutes of quiet time to talk to them on…

I love my parents and they love me, but they’re too busy working, volunteering, and travelling to wait at home for me to call. We talk, but mainly to make plans to see each other in person. I hope to follow their example. “Deal with” is not a phrase I would ever use to describe my interactions with anyone (except my…

So basically it’ll be the story of my life- raised by loving, uber-liberal post-hippy parents who, in their old age, are starting to parrot the racists tropes they get from the media?

I love my friends and family, but I’ve got better shit to do while at home than talk on the phone.

I mentor teenagers in foster care, and I think it’s super important for them to see how I live. They mainly see two extremes- they’re generally surrounded by poverty, know few people who have attended college, lots of teenage pregnancy and high school dropouts. Then they see things like “Real Housewives” on…

I think there’s a big difference between looking down on poor people and buying nice stuff that you can afford. I spent a lot of my life shopping at the Dollar Store, and I’m never going back there now that I can afford other stores. I appreciate what I can have, acknowledge that not everyone can afford it, and pass…

I had an intense crush on my husband for years before we hooked up (we lived on opposite coasts but have many mutual friends, so we only saw each other occasionally). Turned out it was mutual crushing all that time. Sometimes I miss it, but I do love him more now and also my brain is not equipped for that much…

I find it brings out all the social anxiety I haven’t felt since I was 15 years old- do they like us; They seem super cool, they probably already have tons of cool friends and don’t need us; are we coming on too strong; I don’t want them to think that we don’t have any other friends; etc

I suggested a app called (this name is up for revision) “Tinder for couples to find other couples not for kinky stuff but just cool other couples to hang out with because we need some mutual friends who live in this city”

I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO THINK ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE TODAY

It’s the same for my aunt! Everyone goes on about how she looks like her (non-biological) mother. Extra funny, it’s the hair color that everyone comments on, and they both dye their hair. They always reply “Yes yes, we get it from the same bottle!” which everyone inexplicably seems to take as a cute way to say that…

Yeah, I know CPR but fending off an attacker with a knife is way out of my league.
