Thank you for sharing how you’re too good for casual sex.

Imma come back in an hour after more people have gotten a chance to comment

Yeah, getting your heart broken is totally good for you. Really, it is. Totally. And finding that person and breaking their legs is totally good for them too. Really, it is.

I had a similar outlook a few years ago after getting my heart smashed by someone who I thought was “the forever one.” It took a while, but I came out of it with an outlook along the lines of “Don’t take anyone more seriously than you take yourself. You can and will survive every experience, even the horrible ones.

I think it's wise to remind yourself that love is supposed to feel good. This simple phrase has kept me away from a lot of toxic men.

I saw this last week, and the whole thing just enrages me. The fact that she doesn't want to do it but expects men to eat her out (Tracy, you make hella good points about why that's okay, and I'm a lot less pissed about it now but I was seeing red last week). The fucking disgusting misogynistic responses to it, like

I think the quote about the wedding being the "point" and not the marriage afterwards is really important. I worked weddings, and we would take bets on which brides would be depressed after the honeymoon based on how completely insane they were about the day itself. Spending a lot of energy planning isn't the problem,

Yeah but my house has one major advantage over Kylie Jenner's: no Kardashians or Jenners live in my house.

About seven years ago I was diagnosed with ovarian cancer. I was lucky in that it was fairly isolated so they just chopped that sucker out, but I was devastated by the treatments. Just.. so so sick. An old friend of mine (we'd shared a really shitty apt in NYC in my early 20s and during this time she and I had had a

"Sorcia, I'm in love with your best friend [a dude with a hilariously ridiculous name that I cannot post here]. We're moving to Virginia and I hope you'll be happy for us."

You dated Newt Gingrich?

You really want to know?

I didn't date for, like, 7 years and then when I was 32 I was like "eff it, I'm giving online dating a try."

This is a story of how one of the worst days of my life ended up reaffirming my faith in strangers and in the human race in general.

Congrats, you're an abusive parent. Showing your kid not to be violent by being violent? Excellent strategy. That poor baby boy, why do you think he hits, when you show him that hitting is appropriate? And shaking? How old is he? I've seen one too many kids with fucked up vision from being shaken. But I don't think

If there's a very selfish, silver lining to all this, I can't wait to watch the logic pretzels all my crazy right wing relatives are going to get themselves in over this one because the last few weeks have been

Will do. It was stupid of her to leave her phone on my desk while she ran out to pick up lunch. It's like she was asking for this.

OK, I'm sold. I just signed my friend up for it without telling her and am going to sit back and see what happens. Curious to see how Fred Kelly responds to a baffled married woman.

That woman who is dating her dad.

I want a thermos with "I have an educational blog" printed on it. I feel like that would get me as close as I can get to greatness.
