Right?!!!! I have a bipolar brother who is a recovering addict and I take antidepressants to help with my migraines, neither of us would be doing well if we just threw away our meds. Both of us would probably have hurt ourselves by now.

As a lawyer who handles divorces, incapacity, and death issues: I LOATHE people who say “they must have known” about cheating, abusive behavior, sexual deviance, pedophilia, etc. These are often the same people who scream at women when they complain about men telling them to smile, men being handsy, etc.

I think the question is what you’re supposed to actually do with that instinct, when you don’t actually know the person has ever done anything wrong. And I have no idea what the answer is, even if I agree with “trust your gut.” Maybe the answer is just avoid the person?

Do you often need to ask your immobile, personal assistant at your house where the nearest Gas station is? Isn’t that somethign you could remember?

FWIW, I was watching a TV show (Supernatural) and something in the dialogue triggered Alexa where she started rattling off a list of places nearby where we could purchase…

She’ll sometimes pipe up out of nowhere, “I’m sorry, I didn’t get that.” And I wasn’t even talking to you Alexa! God! Not everything is about you!

Email accounts may or may not be about “reaching out to others” but that doesn’t mean how I reach out to others is everyone else’s business. My emails include personal correspondence with other people, and reminders to myself. They include confirmations of gifts I’ve ordered for people, including my S.O. No one…

Agree, at the BF/GF level it is a bad idea to share passwords. When we got married my wife and I were going to keep things separate like bank accounts, but it became such an obstacle to running our day to day lives that we just merged everything. I mean finances, not our Facebook accounts. We’re not monsters.

I had a GPS with a British accent in a rental car once. I was laughing so hard at it saying “eezenhooer doctor” I missed my turn onto Eisenhower Drive.

Yep, and it’s all bananas.

Lord... I follow a Yoga group on FB near my area and just last week they posted a meme with photos o nature and pills “This is an antidepressant” (the forest) “This is just shit” (the meds).

I just asked her and I asked multiple times to be sure.

You know what’s a good advertisement for veganism? Normal vegans. My sister-in-law cooks delicious food, eats in normal restaurants, and rarely preaches (she got a little obsessed with the Blue Zone Diet and made my brother give up meet so they could both live to be 100). She’s healthy and happy and would never eat 51…

The grocery list is by far the best feature. “Alexa, add eggs to the shopping list.” BAM, eggs added. Then I can go to the store with my phone and voila, there’s my list on the Alexa app. Less paper, trees get saved and global warming reversed all because I used my Alexa app. You’re welcome China!

You just gave me a light bulb moment. Every individual has a specific need for privacy...yours is high, mine is nonexistent. My messy, fully immersed relationship would drive you crazy, but I’m peaceful with it so, here we are.

I saw something on facebook recently arguing that if you didn’t share your passwords with your partner it was a terrible sign of lack of trust...which is BS. My husband tends to know most of my passwords because he’s my IT guy and also manages our email server (we are not the Clintons) but he doesn’t know it for my…

Privacy from paranoid fever dreams of a spouse. Being a good faith actor in a relationship where one of the biggest things you’re seeking is the trust of another person, it is demeaning to have to offer up collateral like your passwords to maintain it. Are my actions and words not enough? Do I really need to be open…

It’s not so much my husband and I keeping each other out of our digital space, it’s more not really caring to be in each other’s digital space. Between his gmail and work email accounts, my husband has 19,000 unread emails. (Not an exaggeration — that number on the ‘mail’ icon on his iPhone keeps growing.) Clearly…

I sometimes think that people are so insistent that “she knew” or “he must have known” because it makes them feel more secure in their own situation.

Don’t reply to me with prison rape jokes.
