I moved in with my brother after grad school for this reason. We were both in our mid-30s, still way too broke. By teaming up we managed to build some financial stability, repair a lot of family damage, and get on our feet again. It was the best decision we ever made. 

God, I wish my husband would agree to this. As it is, when I want to sleep In another room bc I’m the world’s lightest sleeper and he’s the world’s loudest snorer, he gets so emotional and butt hurt. It’s even more exhausting than the not being able to sleep.

I got married for the first time at 37. (8 months ago). It…

I am glad someone said it.

Fuuuuuuck this prattle. Can anyone afford 1 goddamn house? So now you’re espousing 2-master bedrooms or at least 2 bedrooms for the parents and how many for the kids? Hey folks, think nothing of a 5-bedroom house and next, if separate bedrooms there better goddamn be separate baths.

No, but everyone is different and it’s nice to acknowledge that. A manager I used to have had separate master bedrooms for the snoring reason given above. If it makes you feel better I’m with you and really some of the best communicating my spouse and I do is in bed before we go to sleep.

The unstated but obvious assumption here is No Kids.

Logically, everything you say makes sense, and my partner and I had already bought a place together and were living in it by the time we got married, and I didn’t change my name, and I could have got his health benefits without doing it, BUT I was conditioned to feel that marriage is a way of forming a new family…

“men are more likely to snore than women and women are more likely to experience insomnia than men.”

I’m really annoyed by this new trend of “Couples Who Live Apart Are Happier!”

Unless raising children in a conventional way is the goal, I see no point in marriage at all. I especially do not get it when very rich people marry each other. Back when I was married, living jointly was not really fully accepted. But marrying only to live apart baffles me to no end. What is the point? My ex and I…

I have two kids and I cant even pee by myself. There's no way she didn't have help.

Actually I’m glad she lived long enough to see a iconic character based on her in the Handmaid’s Tale.

I really need to read Backlash. Faludi doesn’t get enough credit.

Susan Faludi did a great job of nailing ALL of these female hypocrites in Backlash. So many of them out at podiums telling women to go home and take care of their families while they saw their own families once a week. If I remember rightly, Phyllis even got caught a couple of times talking about how her job was so…

Spill. You can’t leave us hanging.

Phyllis Schlafly used nannies so she could concentrate on the career she denied she had. Her niece confirmed she used nannies.

That’s where I have an issue - I feel like he would be so caught up in his own minutia, he’d be pretty selfish in bed. Has he ever really done anything on the series that wasn’t driven by his own self-interest? 

Exactly what I thought: all those asshole ukip, classist, royalists who thought Meghan was just a C-List celeb in it for the fame, prestige, and a free ride on England’s dime can suck it. Guess what? She doesn’t want your Crown Jewels, damp castles, and dusty old relics, and will make her own way, thank you very much.

Or maybe, just maybe, god forbid you might actually take two seconds and realize what site you’re on, and why we might be a tad more sick and tired of comments like that than you. But no, please just tell us without any thought whatsoever why you’re right and why we’re overreacting, because we just don’t get enough…

She does not, and you’re disgusting.
