You should absolutely 100% not be friends at all with this person anymore, let alone best friends. I know, easier said than done. But you already know she’s awful. I’m sorry! You deserve better.

Yes, agree. Jen’s already made new friends. It’s time for the letter writer to do the same. I know it’s not easy, especially now, but it’s clearly time for that to happen regardless of whether or not she retains her friendship with Jen.

Maybe she’s not ignoring you because she’s overwhelmed but simply because you’ve grown apart, or because you have created a dynamic in which you’re the strong, supportive one who has her life together and she’s always in distress and eventually that becomes very tedious for both parties.

Jezebel has its own problems with commenters to be sure. For what it’s worth, I’ve been banned from that site under a different name. 

The narrative that most Kinja users don’t recognize abuse against men has never been true on this site. Obviously, there are some outlier-commenters. I am so sorry you were abused. 

Narcissist or not, all exes = villains is a red flag. Don’t date those people.

Yeah, I feel nothing but pity for parents who have young children who need supervision. There aren’t good options for the kiddos and their families, but I’m glad your wife is able to stay home right now. I have thought long and hard about it, just like everyone else, and I don’t have an answer for the single parents…

I don’t know if that’s worth the risk. An 8 year old just died of COVID. 

Wow, I wouldn’t have thought! I’ve only known one child battling with a UTI. But maybe most are too embarrassed to say they have a UTI, even though they really don’t have much to do with sex! (Though you sure can get them that way.)

I actually still like Miracle Whip. “Real” mayo makes me gag. The conditioning of my youth worked. Feed me science.

Are UTIs common in children? I mean, I know they’re possible. But why did they jump straight to a UTI?

I don’t get it, either! I thought it was a great series.

It was designed by the creator to be a single series:

I think that’s true, and I feel bad for Laura Dern for going up against her in the very same show. Meryl Streep doesn’t need another award. That said, she was incredible as the mom in Big Little Lies. I love Meryl Streep and I fucking hated her character to my core. She made me want to scream and vomit. God bless her.

I love it, and what makes it particularly nice is that my partner and I are always on the same page about it. In our old apartment, we’d climb onto the (flat!) roof to eat dinner unless it was winter or raining. Whenever there was an option to eat outside at a restaurant, we took it. Sometimes, we’ve gone to…

We do know that children 10 years and older spread the virus as effectively as adults, and that those children go home to adults and grandparents who will be affected. They are also in the classroom with teachers, on buses with drivers, and in hallways and offices with staff without adequate protective gear. 

You’re acting responsibly. I am teaching summer school remotely to kids in the building. They pull their masks down all the time so that they don’t cover their noses. They lift their masks up to drink their beverages. They only need to be in a mask for under two hours, and they cannot handle it. Our school isn’t even…

I overwhelmingly hear the opposite opinion from people I know and from internet comments, but its nominations speak for themselves. It’s clearly hitting right for you and for others.

I mean if there were EVER a time for the Why Not Both gif...

I’m sure your point of view is valid because look at the list! I just don’t personally watch those performances and say “wow.” I think the actors are probably capable of wowing, but where’s the challenge? The father is an asshole and needs to occasionally waver but stay an asshole. MacFayden is a dope and needs to…
