She just won so many points with that completely arbitrary metaphor.

My husband pronounces “moot point” as “mute point” and responds in exactly the same way. No dear, that is NOT what you just said.

WANTING TO LEAVE IS ENOUGH.

Hating the same things is SO important.

I’ve been haunted by Cheryl Strayed’s Tiny Beautiful Things since I read it, and one chapter was a letter asking her about this very thing. She replied with a story of how she came to marry and then leave her first husband, and basically it came down to—she left because she wanted to. As great a guy as he was, as much…

From The Guardian article: “Unlike Hillary, I have actually accomplished something.”

My husband and I have lots of similar (but slightly different) interests and a few shared passions which is a really great balance. We generally see eye to eye in the right/wrong categories. We also tend to hate the same things/people/places, which is an overlooked section of the compatability check list in my…

mishandling the $25bn acquisition of Compaq, getting ousted by the board in 2005 with a $21m golden parachute, repeatedly being named one of the worst CEOs in American corporate history

His head looks like a My Little Pony and I mean that in the BEST WAY POSSIBLE.

I see so many of my friends in their 20’s settling for the “easy” choice — the guy who isn’t going to leave, maybe he’s not that smart or ambitious but he’s nice, you’ve already been living together for 5 years so maybe it’s time to get hitched. And they’re oh, so good about putting on a happy show, lots of photos…

I totally understand his impulse to do things as you suggest. But without a clearly defined agreement as to what that really means, you’re just spinning your wheels because you’re not on the same page.

Something I read once that stuck with me as true : shared values are more important than shared interests. My husband and I want the same things out of life in the big picture. We have those giant sprawling conversations where you solve all the worlds problems. That’s way more important than the fact that he loves…

Totally agree with this. I think we’ve married the same man. He has the same worldview as me (the look-at-eachother-at-a-party-with-raised-eyebrows-and-know-we’re-thinking-the-same-thing, thing), and we have the same living preferences - like being super frugal and liking cats. He’s extremely attractive to me and he’s…

Make a list. That is what I did - I made a list of the qualities I wanted in a long term partner. (Including will love me more and more through the years.) When I met my husband it was like a check list . We have been married 24 years in Sept, and been together 27. Not all of them were perfect, but we always wanted to…

Sometimes when people are “nice” they’re covering up their feelings and avoiding real intimacy & dialog. That is really annoying in a relationship. Hate on, MRAs.

Just had this conversation with a friend of mine. She’s struggling with the idea of whether or not to stay with her husband when his green card comes in. This is the man who left her in the hospital while she was dealing with an with an ectopic pregnancy, because he had to iron his clothes for work. I told her the…

As a longtime married, who would marry my husband all over again, I’ve learned something really important:

I think the biggest problem with trying to find certainty about the long term viability about a relationship is that the priorities that are important when you are a single young adult are not necessarily the same things that art important when you’re middle-aged and in a long term relationship. The disconnect can be…

You are correct. The Kentucky Derby was MADE for Johnny Weir.

I have a friend who teaches at their kids’ school; apparently, they are super lovely and chill parents.
