forget about marnie

Yay! I was beginning to lose hope, reading the other comments. I was Best Maid for my friend, and in June he will be my Man of Honor and his awesome wife is my bridesmaid and everything is just lovely with the four of us. It *is* possible to realize you're not right for someone and to end the romantic relationship…

Yep. One of my best friends is also an ex. I didn't think that this was that controversial. I'm still friends with most of the people I've dated. I was friends with most of them before we dated, and our friendships continued after.

Your comment inspired me to google "cold pressed juice." I'm already annoyed by the first lines of everything the search first-paged.

Remember when Jez was committed to running an anti-commentary on Girls - something along the lines of "All the Shit I Did Instead of Watching That Dumb Lena Dunham Show"?

Yup. When my ex/BFF & I both went through awful break-ups within months of each other, I said something to him, to which he curtly replied, "If you could meet relationship needs, we'd be married by now."

And that's the biggest bullshit part of this.

If by "you" you mean the editorial/royal "you" (i.e., can anyone really be friends with their ex), the answer is 'yes'.

I never comment here, so I know I won't get out of the grays, but fuck it.

It really is case by case. With my college ex, when we split we decided to remain friendly in public since we knew we'd see each other at weddings and such down the line. It was awkward for a while, we didn't talk much, just some online chats every couple months that were super awkward. Then she called me one day…

I don't like Gawker's typically anti-Girls stance. I think the show has had its good spots and its bad. The past few episodes, though, are fantastic.

That blows. I must say I'm guilty of not replying to cards, though I often call when I get one because I miss my friends but between my terrible handwriting and boring life find it intimidating. I want to say, most importantly, Happy Fuckin Birthday, Bacon!

is there no Sunday night open thread anymore?

...whaaaat?!?

You know what, I'm just gonna Distract with Desserts:

At this point, absolutely.

I know, right? Those poor, oppressed millennials, having that gross old hag appropriate their culture. No one over the age of 50 should show their face in public unless they're wearing elastic waist Talbots pants and speaking in hushed tones, less anyone is forced to pay attention to their gross wrinkly skin. Better…

Shhh, child. She *made* millennial culture to a very great extent - whatever you think you can claim, she probably did it first. She's never played by the same rules as everyone else, and that includes coming up with her own definition of mid-fifties life. Be happy she exists rather than resenting her for - what?…

jealous? Women who complain about other women "not acting their age" usually have some personal issues of their own. MYOB
