“At the time I thought the whole thing was slightly uncomfortable but hilarious and harmless, but in retrospect I’m terrified for younger me and all the women in their 20s who came before and after me, as they were the only roommates he’d accept.”

That’s sad.  All siblings remember things differently, but...I believe her.  It probably was the best time for her.

She had lice and didn’t tell us until... well, you know how that all shook out. Refused to bathe during the winter months. Claimed a friendship with Meatloaf, and hung in our dorm window her dead, taxidermied pet parrot in its cage.

My worst roommate was my sister.

My worst roommate ate through ALL my food (literally everything, including condiments, leftovers, food my parents made for me for my birthday, etc) and replacing a few select things only when confronted. She would get drunk with her coworkers and be carried into the apt projectile vomiting and I would put her in…

We’re snapping at each other a bit more, but it’s minor and easily apologized for. We’re also very lucky in that we seem to be taking turns having our meltdowns—one person has a horrible downward spiral and the other talks them through; then switch.

I’m with you—things are good with us. Then again, we’ve been through shit before and while this is different, global shit, we’ve already been tested and established decades ago that, for us, marriage is easy—it’s life that’s hard, so our jobs involve getting each other through the stresses of life.

Came down here JUST for that... on my life, this appears to be the hardest lesson of that early adulthood transition - some things don’t get re-dos.  Some decisions you make are fucking permanent and there is no scripted resolution where everyone lives happily ever after and things work out.  Reasons why it’s all the…

This crisis you’ve been suppressing isn’t meant to be resolved, it’s meant to be endured.

Point of order: without attempting to slut shame in any way, no one who has any kind of anxiety about disease transmission has unprotected sex with a porn star they just met. I’ll be the first to say that porn stars are people too, and they deserve to have a sex life outside of their job. But they also understand,…

$20 says the second that kid turns 18 he changes his name to Chris, or Nick, or Matthew, or something else equally benign. 

To steal a line from Jim Jeffries’ gun control bit: “Jeez, you think a lot of yourself if you think everyone’s coming to murder you.” 

You just know Grandpa Cracker would lose his shit if he saw a girl wearing a hijab open carrying...

Just in case you wanted the honest answer to the question...

This is what radicalisation and White Privilege looks like.

Yeah we’re all very unreasonable to be concerned about a small child carrying deadly weapons around.

Why on earth would you use a semi-automatic weapon to kill deer? 

I am so sorry you are going through this.

Here’s the problem- there’s an old joke: How many therapists does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but the lightbulb has to want to change.
