Well, filling out the whole form is a bit clinical, tbh. mr. perdue and I married in CA, so we were Party 1 and Party 2 or whatever and I was just kind of enamored with the newness of anyone being able to use this form, regardless of gender, so it didn’t bother me. But I admit I could give a shit anyway about being…

I don’t know. I think some people frame their marriage license or keep it in a nice book. It still has sentimental value for some people even if it’s a legal document.

I would argue you should join the reality-based community where they absolutely do.

The argument they were making is that it will be useful for collecting and analyzing data in the future if the genders are clearly delineated. Actually, I agree with them, but I still don’t see why that merits a totally separate form. How about an either/or terminology, like: Groom/Spouse 1, Bride/Spouse 2, and let…

Insurance companies.

No but guys! This is important. If my marriage license hadn’t specified “bride” and “groom” how would we have known which is which?

Seconded. The Boston metro area housing market is a nightmare.

We are a Philly suburb. It’s like buying a home on the Island of Misfit Toys.

Dear Millennials and Boomers,

Accutane ate my intestines and gave me permanent lifelong gut issues. Be careful. Acne is bad, but having a gut ache and IBS for the rest of your life is a heavy price to pay for wanting to not have cysts.

You are why some of us are afraid to tell people we’re vegetarians.

I treat myself better and am responsible by not eating chocolate cake every day, but damn, chocolate cake is delicious and I do eat it sometimes. I think most vegetarians are not nauseated by meat, they just made a decision not to eat it for health, moral, or environmental reasons. Everyone slips up occasionally when…

they got AJ and Brian Littrell and Howie and Kevin, all the guys except Joey

You’d think so, but I’ve spent a lot of time in fertility clinics and it’s very racially and ethnically mixed.

The show isn’t normalizing affairs. The show is highlighting that affairs are already normal. It’s not OK on the show, it shows how messy it is.

I don't think cheating is okay, and I said multiples times that it's not. That wasn't my point. My point was that we need a cultural shift towards cheating not being a relationship extinction event, but rather one of many shitty things long-term couples do towards each other that require reconciliation, not automatic…

YES. I can barely keep my eyes in their sockets when I hear women go on and on about how they can’t imagine being with a cheating husband! and how could she stay?! And she’d definitely know if her man was stepping out! Especially when it’s someone you know is or has been cheated on.

“People these days” live on average several decades more than people of the past. It’s one thing to be 100% monogamous when your spouse croaks at 35, it’s another when they’re gone at 95. Not to mention that affairs have always been a thing.

While I totally agree that most cheaters are doing something awful, I’m inclined to agree with Dan Savage that cheating does not HAVE to be a “relationship extinction-level event.” It’s taken as a given in our culture that a single affair will necessarily destroy a marriage or a long term relationship, that once a…

Um, no. It’s probably because Noah is the one married and with kids and it is his responsibility and marriage and not her’s. I shouldn't need to explain this, people.
