I would think of it this way - if he was spending hours a day gambling online, obsessively working out or fixing a car, lied to you about how much time and money he was spending doing it and spent less time with you and had less sex as a result, you'd have a problem with it. This is not about you judging him for his…

I respectfully disagree with two of your points.

I don't believe that Chicago exists. I have never been there; no one I know has ever been there (except for my friend Jackie who changed planes at O'Hare, but she said it was real snowy so it could have been a different airport covered in white paint); "Chicago" is a funny word and "City of Broad Shoulders" rings real…

I sadly did some of the legwork for you:

If we called it Fantasy Wedding and had leagues and teams, maybe it would go over better.

This might be cheating, because I submitted this one a few years ago to Jez (see? I'm trustworthy enough to get out of the greys - I'm an old timer!), but it remains the worst Thanksgiving:

This is not so much a horror story, more just me being a type-A nightmare that requires at a minimum not everyone around me to be a fucking incompetent dipshit. but I digress.

I thought I needed to do this. With five children I was looking at part time work so I could continue to do everything at home as well. But part time work is hard to come by and you hardly ever get to choose what *kind* of work you do if the hours are paramount.

Interesting. My options are either keep your beard, or don't get mad when I actively discuss how much I miss the beard and want it back.

Abusive towards animals, humans, whatever.

ugh it's so hard. One of my best friends husband was illegal and had to go back to Mexico until he could get his green card after they married. I never even knew he was here illegally. They have two little ones and she went to Mexico with him while they fought it. He is back now but it took a very long time. I…

Help! I Just Found Out that My Financial Advisor Eats Conventional Vegetables!

With holiday shopping upon us, it's that time of year again to point out that Costco is closed on Thanksgiving, Christmas Day and New Years Day. They do this weird thing called actually caring about their employees and their employees families. They also pay the most coveted wages in retail, so their employees aren't…

I get what you're saying. But my take on it is still that Jezebel is merely clarifying that the site is not making claim to being any official platform for feminism/the feminist movement. Like, they don't want people coming away from an article with the notion that because something is on Jezebel that it can be cited…

the toddler "did not disclose any information that would warrant a criminal investigation."

Poor little Cotton. I just want you to know that we, your brothers and sisters, are all praying for your safe return.

Sometimes the new person can be the catalyst to finally make you see everything that's wrong in your current relationship. Or that you're staying for the wrong reasons. Also speaking from experience....so I agree, never say never. Three years later, I'm still glad I left.

OK. Well I would agree with you that some of the things you list are useful in talking to anybody:

I worked the Obama campaign voter hotlines for all the primaries in 2008 and it was astounding how many people did not understand how voting worked—so many people assumed that because they were registered in one state, they were automatically registered in their new state or that they could still go somewhere to vote…

I truly appreciate your attention to this matter.
