I want to say that romance media (books/tv/movies) have really helped people not understand what they are doing is wrong. In the movies, the girl/guy runs up to her/his love target and in front of everyone at the wedding, she/he professes their love. And low and behold! They get the Guy/girl and happily ever after…

This right here.

We do a poor job of teaching people both “abnormal psychology” (to recognize disordered personality traits in ourselves and others) and proper interpersonal relationship boundaries. You’re right, she’s not being a good friend, and you would be right to distance yourself from someone who does not respect your…

That’s something I was wondering too. What was the scenario where he had to reject her attempt to kiss him?

Completely agree.

This is true. He needs to sit down with his fiance *now* and be honest about what’s going on.

It’s the classic problem of two people being friends for so long that one (or both) mistake that deep friendship for romance/attraction. Then once it becomes a physical relationship they realize the things that made them good friends don’t necessarily hold on as partners.

If you’ve reached a point where you’re asking “Should I leave my fiance for my crush...” the answer is yes and no.

I always think it’s weird men are intimidated by a woman that’s everything they say they want. I picked a career I love but will never make me rich, so I’m fine with a woman making more than me. Especially if she likes her job. Maybe I was just forced to accept that long ago because my mom makes more than my dad.

Anyone who argues that they couldn’t help doing something because they were just so turned on is an emotional child.

Think of all the world’s past and continued troubles that occur because of persuasive penis’.

I’m pretty sure the advice giver told her to buy a Diva cup and stop ruining her boyfriend’s sheets and making him sleep in her blood.

Seriously. I am in horrible pain for the duration on my period so like, if I NEED some goddamn tampons, either I am going to murder everyone I see in public and cry while doing it, or my goddamn loving partner will do it. OR ELSE.

And/or she told herself that. Which is exactly that which I would have done. Told myself that if I didn’t engage, his tiresome game would eventually lose steam; told myself that if I blocked him, he might escalate; told myself that this was his escape valve, and that to close it might lead to increasingly dangerous…

In my lily white culture, they were called Dutch braids;

I think you mean Reverse Freedom braid.

But don’t try to tell me that “normal” men don’t ever look at their daughters and think of them as sexual beings, or possible sexual partners.

I think this is a shitstorm of teenager + menopause. My own mom is a year older than Madonna and is going through “the change” and sweet jaysus, I’m glad I live in Belgium and she’s in Indiana....

And this is the problem with the people who wonder why we just can’t let Chris Brown live! Like, he did his time and apologized for his behavior, we don’t bring up all the abusive white males. THE PROBLEM IS, Chris Brown is CONSISTENT in his abusive behavior. He throws up classic red flags EVERYWHERE that scream…

What, now that Joshie is out of Christian penis rehab we have to have the Duggars flung at our faces again? No. They are garbage people, and they aren’t interesting. Josh is a horrible person, his parents are horrible people, and while I feel terribly for what happened to the girls, they espouse very demeaning and…
