Well that's...comforting? No doubt you're right though.

This is my nightmare when it comes to my teenage daughter. We are constantly having arguments about her dressing provocatively (and I have to say in her case it's largely unintentional—the equipment is new to her and she lacks awareness of how things can shift around and expose stuff that shouldn't be exposed).

We all know this is his secret erotic fantasy come to life right? All that's missing is him being paddled by Hillary while wearing a ball gag. I'm not even kidding around here, I think this is a legit theory.

I prefer to date men who have some form of dedication or passionate engagement with the world. Most of the time that takes the form of a career. I have a career myself and it's a big part of who I am, so I see this as perfectly reasonable. Everybody has criteria for who they will or won't date and that is mine. Some…

I am so glad to hear your little nipper is doing so well!

No, I got pregnant VERY easily, the first time by accident, the second one on the first try!

Yes, I think by comparison that's true. I am totally supportive of the home/natural childbirth movement, but it's just really easy to fall into a very dichotomous view of the whole thing that can scare mothers-to-be. In my experience I discovered that at the end of the day, how the birth plays out is just one tiny…

Live and learn, Deadly. Live and learn.

They actually did not discover it until they opened me up for the first c-section. Things were all funky and weird leading up to the birth, baby was breech and labor not starting and so finally they insisted on and I agreed to a c-section, probably saving her life.

Haha, I like that theory, but actually it's just that I have a very thick membrane dividing my uterus in two. God only knows where it came from but functionally I could theoretically get pregnant in each one at different times.

As someone who prepped for a natural childbirth and wound up having to have two c-sections due to high risk of complications (two uteruses inside me, ladies and gents) I feel absolutely, positively 100 percent positive that having had the operation did not impair either bonding experience.

Marriage doesn't make it harder to leave but kids do.

Aw, thanks for the name check cutie.

That is really true, throwing it back at people as if doubt, uncertainty and craving aren't core parts of being human.

Oh wow. Whole new worlds of vegging out marathons. Do you catch them on Netflix or what?

That's true. I think an article about how to deal constructively with jealousy would be a really good idea, because in most cases I feel like you could somehow address it and it wouldn't have to ruin a friendship. Part of it does fall on the jealous person to learn constructive ways to deal with that feeling but it…

That is a really interesting point, I wasn't conceptualizing it in terms of aggression but of course that is what it is.

Just to add my two cents to this excellent and interesting article.

I think it's just saying that if you have an anxious attachment style (which is a real thing in the world of research psychology), having had inconsistently available caregivers is likely to be the cause, not that everybody that had such caregivers winds up with that style. Although the research tends to bear this…

One thing it's helpful to bear in mind is that if a partner does say they need space you don't have much choice but to give it to them or whatever the problem is it's just going to get worse.
