As someone who's done both, the skills are actually really transferable. The situations are completely incomparable, for sure. But I can't even count the number of times I needed to use my victim advocacy skills with brides (I did both part time for awhile). Active listening is really important in both, and…

Seems like a reasonable comparison to me. I've seen some horrible shit go down on Say Yes to the Dress among friends and family members of brides that borders on and is sometimes clearly abusive behavior.

But it's the nature of cover letters. This person needed to make their work history seem relevant, and I think she did a pretty good job of it. I did the same thing when I had to make my work experience at a theme park relevant to a job in community mental health support. It's kind of shitty to mock her for it; we all…

Yeah I agree. Should this person have made that direct comparison? Maybe not. But I bet the communication skills and talent for handling family dynamics would be a boon in this position and it's not unreasonable for them to try and point that out. What was the other option? Pretend they had no relevant experience at…

I agree. This person seems pretty passionate about the job they're applying for and we're ripping them apart? If they can see how their experience working with brides would be something that would make them a good fit for working with domestic violence survivors, then that's their thing. But, I kind of see it. As a…

This is pretty low. A cover letter is supposed to help you show the hiring manager what you can bring to a new job, and this woman wants to use skills she's gained in the past to be a victim advocate in the future. This is probably an entry level job for her, or she'd be talkinga bout her criminal justice experience.…

I literally adore her and I don't give a shit what anybody says. That woman gives NO FUCKS. She is going to live her live and make her money and have her rich ass rapper husband and raise her beautiful daughter and basically have everything the way she fucking wants it and if that makes everybody's head's explode…

Yeah. And here's the thing: ALL the women involved in this feud use their sexuality for financial gain in one way or the other. So like… how dumb is it to try to shame someone else for doing the same thing you're doing? Or are they all THAT un-selfaware that they truly think there's a meaningful difference between how…

The more Kanye talks, the more he bitch-fies himself. Him saying that he wanted to date Kim and then settled for Amber Rose is what it is. But, enough with men who choose to be with a "certain type" of woman (their words or how they allude to it) and then dog her rep after the fact. Like dude...stfu with that…

I had to take off my #teamkanye jersey for that one. That's some gross slut-shaming 'Ye. Also, "getting in early" with a 17 year old girl is not funny. It's gross and illegal in most states.

"I think he got in early. I think he was smart."

I'm so bored with this feud.

so they placed a trach. Next a peg tube (permanent feeding tube in stomach)I'm sure. This is not a good thing at all IMO. Looks like they're going to let her be in a vegetative state indefinitely. Prob will be placed in a long term care facility. This makes me sad, and angry at the same time. I'm sorry BK, but you're…

I can't believe I missed this one! Well, here's my story anyway.

"He was resistant, saying that he felt marriage was for people who were "grown up" which to him meant not reliant on insane loans and handouts from our parents."

So my story didn't really count, so I'll post it here, the story of how I ALMOST said no, kind of by accident.

An ex-bff of mine moved out-of-state "for work" but really it was because she heard that state had a lot of eligible bachelors. She eventually found a guy and got married about 4 seconds after they got engaged.

I said no to a marriage proposal once actually.

We were 18 or 19. He was bi-polar heroin addict *not* seeing anybody for help so... not an ideal situation. One night we were watching a movie in bed and all of a sudden his face lit up and turned to me like "Let's get married! Everything would be easier if we were…

I know one of those, too. Every time it happened, I was like, "HER? Really?"

I know someone who has been engaged maybe 3 times. They've all happened wildly fast, and ended the same. She's not that great, and I'm all, "How do you keep getting men to propose to you?!"
