I know, right? The way I was raised, it was like “Once you get married, you can have all the sex you want!” Except they spend so much time and energy keeping you “pure” before marriage, that when you actually do get married, you’re likely to have all kinds of hangups.

I’m sorry you had to go through that. My mom basically did the same thing when I was 16 - I finally told her I was cutting myself and she sent me to a well-meaning but useless church counselor instead of a medical professional. I hope you were able to get real help at some point.

Yep. Only got it for a camp that had what was allegedly a minor church component but got a new hard right baptist pastor and well, first the idiot said animals don’t go to heaven when my family had a very old dog and argued with me since I logically pointed out that it wouldn’t be eternal paradise for me if I got…

I’ve been using Walmart’s Grocery Pick-Up service, so I’ve been trying lots of new things - it’s easier to browse ‘shelves’ via the comp than in person. So I’ve just tried “Talenti” gelato - Double Dark Chocolate - and it was faaabulous. I also tried Bryer’s gelato and it’s pfft. Nothing special. But this Talenti…

Yes; let’s stop letting them lead the discussion by using their preferred terminology. Language is powerful. Change the terms and flip the discussion. Forced birth indeed.

Check out this letter she wrote to him pre-marriage.

That’s “anti-choice” group or “forced-birth” group, please. Ain’t no way these people are pro-life, unless the life is straight, not poor, not brown, not female, and its family has lived in this country since 1900.

Was married to someone very similar and agree with everything you stated. It would be a huge relief to his wife if he left the marriage. I know it was when my ex suddenly left 2 months after begging for another chance when I said I wanted a divorce. Yes, breaking up a marriage sucks and hurts, but mostly I was SO SO…

I’m not going to lie:

Yeah, sounds more like OOT is auditioning for the role of ‘once a month on a weekend day dad’, which seems more his speed.

Read his letter again, Now come back and fucking apologize for calling his wife “an un-supportive nag”. i mean what the fuck bro? Way to blame the woman for a failed manbaby who rages.

I’m so mad at OoT, and I’m not even the one suffering from the misfortune of being married to him.

There is nothing wrong with complimenting a woman’s beauty if that woman is your wife or girlfriend.

This was exactly my thought. This is the move every woman is intimately familiar with, the move you make towards your female friend when her boyfriend starts leching on you at the club.

Barrrrrrrf. I am a loud and proud feminist who will always be fiercely protective of a woman’s right to have whatever kind of lovemaking(BARF) she wants and needs but personally, goddamnit, take me to Pound Town.

“He doesn’t know how to cook breakfast...”

Tender sex as a MO gets on my last nerve. It’s ok sometimes, but other times you might want to get a little boisterous. Rough even. And when you growl, “Spank me,” and your tender lover goes wide-eyed and whispers, “I could never cause you pain,” that’s when you know this just isn’t going to work.

Trump is a personified HR violation. And of course, he still has a job.
