I guess I'll find out. Been together nine years, married 22 days. The only time we fight is when he walks too fast for me or otherwise hurries me up. Over the years I've learned that some of the things we used to fight about aren't as big of deals as I thought they were before I knew him better. I have learned…

Told you so! I just posted the other day that I think Internet trolls are outwardly successful people harboring secret resentment, rather than ineffectual als0-ran basement-dwellers.

What if Ebola hit one of those countries where the women wear full-on burqas and the men just go around all naked to the world bleah bleah bleah, we are menz" and the women hardly peek out a screened window much less go out of the house, would the men all get Ebola and the women all be protected and then would the…

It's beer that makes my husband's farts lethal. He switched to wine and no more smelly farts!

Every guy I've known personally who gets on the Internet and messes with people on purpose trying to make them feel bad, or talks with their buddies in secret about taking out their "poison" on women, has been at least middle-class successful. Now, this is not exactly the same crowd as the MRA's, PUA's, or the guys…

All right I'm going to be THAT old person and point out that by the time I was 6 I was going all OVER, errands to the store, walking a mile to school alone, off playing in the woods...also the park...by the time I was nine I was the babysitter

I personally think guys like this are leading a conventional, conformist life on the outside, and harboring some resentment on the inside. Like Chad in "In the Company of Men," I think they are successful guys who (again) are carrying hidden, stifled anger, and they purposely take it out on women in this way. Some…

In this tragic case, a gay partner of nine years was kept out of her partner's hospital room as the partner died. http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content…

Plus there's this factor: SOME abusers choose victims (and partners) who are meek dormat lambs who would NEVER do or say anything provocative. SOME abusers choose partners like this on purpose, in order to have a safe target to absorb their emotions they can't handle...someone they know will never say or do anything…

I love you for saying "Nanners" I grew up saying "Nanners"

About 40 years ago, Dear Abby or Ann Landers asked readers whether they'd rather snuggle or do "the act" as it was called then. I know things are different when you're young, but readers overwhelmingly voted for "snuggle." In a context of second-wave feminism, these Ann Landers surveys and women expressing their…

I didn't get a humblebragging or fondly reminiscing tone from Kate808's post.

Here are three books that did, in the 90's, mostly or all about LA instead of New York: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You%27ll_…

I enjoyed your post.

Well I just saw Mark Ruffalo in person in Detroit, protesting to stop poor people's water from being shut off. But I'm sure the Hamptons are nice too!

It's feast or famine. That doesn't make anyone who would like a middle ground an asshole.

I see those all the time in Kansas City on trains.

Same here. I read Sharp Objects first, to see what all the fuss was about, and was meh about it. Then people started talking about Gone Girl, and I couldn't put it down. I didn't care about the plot—or that the characters aren't likeable—I just got into the hidden, seething resentments the characters harbored.
