Sure, I get you. I might just have a bug up my butt about that particular dynamic because my ex did it and it drove me crazy.

No advice; frankly, that's annoying as shit and your wife needs to knock it off. We do stuff because our partners ask us to all the time and as long as you show up in an outfit appropriate to the occasion, participate at the minimum required level, and aren't a dick about it you done good.

Blasphemy.

I have this theory that no one actually know what they're doing, but each year they know better than the previous years so, by comparison, they think the have it all figured out. I bet if you talked to people in their 90s they'd be like "50? I was a damn kid then! Didn't know shit!"

Sounds like Dad might be an asshole.

Huh, neat. I do not live in one of those states but good to know!

I am going to kill you.

Ugh, yeah - I like basically no musicals. I do like musical episodes of sitcoms for some reason…

Does agreeing to get married count? I'm trying a new thing by trusting my feelings and being willing to take a chance even though "logically" we shouldn't be getting married yet.

Absolutely agree. Plus I bet the negative effects of the anxiety aren't just limited to anal sex. Anxiety is a real bitch. :(

Seriously, what is up with people wanting to make it work after a few months. You probably haven't even met their family! Just bolt in the night, you fucking cowards.

Yeah, gotta agree with this.

You can love someone without texting them multiple times a week.

If he has an actual anxiety disorder, pot can have a fun opposite-land effect and make anxiety SO MUCH WORSE. (Ask me how I know!) It's like how speed calms ADD kids down.

They're either bored with going out and using age as an excuse, or they're WAY to invested in appearances and are letting that dictate their behavior. Either way, I wouldn't invest too much effort in changing them.

I think people probably need to meet each other halfway in this case, and sometimes that doesn't happen. Your friend with young kids probably isn't going to go out clubbing all night, but similarly your friend without kids probably doesn't want to come to a mommy and me group or something. Then no one talks to each…

That… really doesn't sound that bad. It involves a lot less dead wild life, for one thing.

Sure, there's plenty of assholes, I'm just saying you meet tons of assholes in bars too. One of the worst people I've ever dated was someone I met through mutual friends (who didn't mention their worse qualities; thanks shitty friends).

I can't really put my finger on it, but something about your comments makes me think you might be depressed. Is getting some professional support for that an option?

Oh lord, so much of it:
