i also really respect - as a fellow ex-mormon - that she doesn’t shy away from saying that the church fucked her up. i like that she calls out specific behaviors and dialogues and people who told her the wrong things. i’m impressed she does it with as much gentleness and dignity as she does.

I love that she is using her experience to comment and constructively criticize the rape culture we have all around us. She is SO bright and thoughtful, and I really am inspired by the way she took something so terrible in her life and is using it to help other people. I believe she can make a difference in the way…

I respect her so much. She has some very biting things to say about purity culture in general and it is wonderful.

I also think he deserves a bit of scorn for not insisting on a pre-nup when children under 18 are involved. If he had died while married to her, with no pre-nup, she could have cut his kids out altogether. I understand that in this case their mom is also financially stable, but it irks me when men follow this cliche…

He seems like a slimey drunk old guy who wishes he was still the man he had been in his 20s and 30s and she seems like she rated him for the boost in her brand.

The op commented about her not him. I responded about her. I obviously think his worse than her but that doesn’t make her likable.

As someone else already mentioned, this broadening of the definition easily opens itself up to targeted abuse—transforming it from a method of protecting minorities into an instrument used to oppress them.

I agree about the unrealistic expectations of marriage and children. I suppose a lot has to do with our current life expectancy and how difficult it is to maintain a relationship for decades. People get bored. It’s why we’re always looking for something fun and exciting to do and sometimes that becomes something that…

No, they all think they’re special. They think it’ll be different for them. Hubris is a powerful drug.

I think they do realize how badly they have fucked up but it takes years and years. By then, their former spouse doesn’t love them anymore even if they haven’t moved on to another relationship themselves.

Please go watch The Women, starring Joan Crawford and Norma Shearer. All will be revealed. I’m off to find gifs.

My god, right? How do people with this degree of wealth and legal support end up in a marriage without a prenup?

Also the fact that she is going to take a ton of his money in the divorce as a lump sum but still feels the need to ask for spousal support?!

I think you’re rightghazi.

They really do.

They can’t say anything without being called racist or sexist or homophobic and it’s definitely not because what they’re saying is racist or sexist or homophobic.

It’s almost as if... people have different preferences? Are you with me?

Really? As a gay man I’ve been loving the facial hair renaissance of the last several years. Granted long beards like that are usually a little ridic, but anything from scruff to a well kept beard can usually increase a guy’s hotness 9 times out of 10. Facial hair is like make up for adult men. At this point I think…

Hipster men trying to fit in with other hipster men. With man buns. While proclaiming their rejection of convention grooming in favor of their own individuality. With a sleeve that also confirms their individuality. Individuals. Alone, together. In a herd of individuality.

That dude might be a stone cold fox but how the fuck are we supposed to know? All I see is beard, hair product, and ink. He barely appears human. Bet he smells all musky and shit. Ugh. Why people mask their humanity to come off as more desireable is beyond me.
