That’s what happens when you live the rest of your life pursuing some fucked up shit about taking away the safety net that paid for you to go to College to dream them up at a Frat Kegger. He’s the guy who would swear he was going to hold the ladder for you at the bottom, if you hold it at the top and let him go first,…

I’ve torn ligments in both my knees and it is so painful you can’t even imagine. The worst part of it is that it lasts forever. You can get surgery and scar tissue can form but it’s never the same afterwards. I have to wear a leg brace just to get through a long day at work sometimes, and during all physical activity.…

This a lot more common than people realize! Lots of schools pay these coaches to make the team better but I have seen two girls pull their groin when they were forced into a split. That shit can take up to six weeks to heal. No one batted an eye.

Yeah nah. I’m poly but happily in a monogamous relationship because polygamy would never work for my partner. Most of these comments (I won’t claim to have read them all) are expressing disgust at the disrespectful way the guy is treating said letter writer - she is not comfortable with an open relationship but he is…

oui.

I want to live in a world where Israel and Palestine stumble into peace after a night of drinking and laughing about what a dolt Kushner is.

Not likely. Ryan has always been a spineless toady.

1.) We have two years of lack of communication over something that is a major issue for dude. At best, he’s a terrible partner.

No. I have a negative attitude toward lying assholes.

By any chance are some of these assumptions and reactions hitting a little close to home for you?

I don’t really see negative attitudes about poly or open relationships. I see negative attitudes towards the way that MVP’s partner presented this to her - basically with no lead up and in a way that was focused primarily on him rather than them. It’s also not unreasonable to assume that her partner has either already…

Were you looking to solve a problem in your relationship by opening it up to other people? Cuz that’s what this guy is doing instead of actually working with the LW to fix/solve the problem. That never works. Nobody is judging poly/open relationships. They’re judging the bullshit coming out of this guys mouth…

Hey, the UK has a whole shadow cabinet and they’re doing just... uh... y’know what, never mind.

So, like, it’s the way he’s going about it that’s foul. He was in a monogamous relationship and now wants to open it up but, according to MVP, this is the first she’s heard that he’s not been happy for 2 years. If he went into it being like, “hey I’m poly, let’s do the damn thing,” before the 4 years I’d be much more…

Mission accomplished!

True, true, there are just so many shows out there about Mississippi lesbians returning home and dealing with cancer. Such a cliche.

So, this really hits home for me. I was at a convention this past weekend where one of my colleagues - someone I work with, regularly get referrals from, briefly worked for, and is supposed to be one of the “good guys” - aggressively harassed a bunch of women during the social hours. In the course of investigating, it…

“Technically” means “She’s pregnant.”

I briefly dated a guy once who let me know after a few weeks, and of course as I was starting to really like him that he and his ex-girlfriend were still living together. At first when he told me I tried to be open and cool, but then I asked him if they were still trying to work things out, or if this was just a…
