If you cannot see beyond your own pain to realize that others have pain as well that hurts them just as much as yours hurts you, then some growth is needed in order to be a better potential partner.

Excellent points. I got married and had three children. My husband dumped me; my children all grew up and moved out of state. I recently had a medical emergency and had to drive myself to the hospital and spend three days there, alone, with no visitors, then I drove myself home.

I stay home with our kids and it took me about 7 years (and 3 kids) to get my husband to the point where he automatically does at least 50% of the childcare and cooking when he’s at home. Part of it was training my children to ask him for help when we’re both around (since I am the primary parent and here most of the…

tl;dr — things are rough all over. For every single person desperately wishing they were in a relationship, there’s a person with a partner desperately wishing they weren’t. And there are major upsides and downsides to both states.

Chronically single men likely have no realistic hope of finding a mate, so it is savage to grill them on their single status.

There are absolutely problems with being single — it’s just that as a society we tend to exaggerate those claims while ignoring the benefits, and we do the opposite for relationships. Particularly for women.

I totally feel you. I’ve been in two relationships for a total of 2yrs each and I’m 35. At this point, I really am looking into using a sperm donor, but I hate that I would have to do that, because I would love to start a family with someone. I just found out my ex who broke up with me like 6 yrs ago has a baby…

There’s a manual as a PDF floating around online. It’s remarkable not just for how clearly it lays out exactly how to practice making your handwriting look like that (and holy crap does the Spencerian hand look good), but it’s also a superb example of the kind of prose the best-educated classes were capable of…

Well, the thing is, you aren’t alone. In this particular pain, you have a shared experience with countless others (myself included).

What is it with other people being so goddamn shitty about other people lives and their lifestyle choices? These are the same people who can’t imagine a married couple being childless by choice. Not everyone wants the same things in life but that doesn’t mean their lives are without content.

There’s a difference between working for a customer you don’t particularly like (or even loath) vs publicly acting to prop up and celebrate them. More than that, because this isn’t just “a job” they have to deal with becoming a propaganda tool for a politician who supports legislature that may directly seek to negate…

My favorite part of Trump not being able to book anyone is his tweet about “I don’t want any A list celebrities to come!” Do you think he realizes that he tacitly told the bums who are actually willing to perform for him that they’re bums! “I don’t want popular, famous people! These losers are good enough!”

I hope they do “Springtime for Hitler.”

Already forcing women to do something with their bodies against their will, and he’s not even president yet.

Kellyanne Conway is a terrible person, but I did think that was a funny line. Especially with all of the womanizers in the Trump administration.

Can’t wait for this one!

Am I supposed to be relieved by this? This man knowingly and willingly exposed his partners to a potentially life threatening disease without their consent. At least one contracted the disease.

private Italian lessons from women he found through Craigslist postings is such a long euphemism

I disagree. They are doing what Tina Fey did to Sarah Palin, turning Trump into the butt of a joke. Although, I do hope that the writing doesn’t soft petal what will be inevitable Trump fuck ups.
