Thank you! Here's an otter for your troubles.

Like special dog, whilst moving.

Well maybe you shouldn't be sneering about winter driving techniques when you've obviously never lived anywhere a blizzard can start dumping on you in a matter of seconds.

And this is why I love the featured commentor system it keeps the asses out and promotes good discusions!

Using the example of getting a teenage daughter to clean her room, Pink suggests starting by asking the person to talk about where they are on a scale of 1 to 10. For example, you could ask your daughter, "On a scale of 1 to 10, how ready are you to clean your room?" Once she responds, you can follow up with, "Why…

"But if we switch to a different hashtag those OTHER people will totally ruin that too!"

So, in the perfect irony that our society sustains itself on, Gamergate is named after a productive female species that both works hard and propagates the species when called upon.

Sounds like Mr. Hustard (a) was left by his wife or (b) is very insecure about his own marriage / relationship. When I was debating my own divorce, the people who gave me the most grief about "commitment" and "responsibility" were the ones who were worried about their own situations.

Yes, really, friends' first response to a personal crisis like divorce should not be to demand an accounting to them of your actions and choices, rather than giving you the benefit of the doubt that you make your choices with good reason. I think you're confusing "friends" with "God."

I was not a victim. I was someone who knew she needed to leave.

Maybe she assumed, as I think most of us with healthy friendships do, that our friends will act less like petty self-appointed adjudicators of our personal decisions and more like…friends.

My cousin got divorced shortly after her first marriage. I'm not sure exactly how old she was - roughly 23-24, married less than a year. Her and I aren't terribly close so I don't know the full story but I'm pretty sure the entire family was totally supportive. A few months after the wedding, her husband decided with…

Exactly! Divorcing in your 20's is smart if the marriage cannot be fixed. Putting a band aid on it and limping along for another 20 years is not.

You're missing the point. It doesn't matter why she divorced and the article certainly stands without it. If your friends are true friends, then, short of murder, it really doesn't matter, you need their support, not their judgement.

None of your business

I'm in the same boat with my otherwise wonderful Ayn-Rand-Book-defacing husband, so I honestly don't know. I cope with the imbalance of chores by outsourcing a lot of it - laundry services, etc., but not only is that not an option for most people, it feels like avoiding the problem instead of solving it.

He won't be proven guilty because he bought off the litigant who brought suit by paying her a sum of money, that is what a settlement is. Nobody drops a sex harassment case in exchange for a damage to IP suit unless they get made whole by a settlement.

I am not married and I do not have children, but the daycare vs working debate always makes me a little uneasy. In the big picture, doesn't it make sense to keep the job and the career momentum going? For various reasons, I am sensitive to the concept of relying only on yourself, but even if couples stay together…

There will be more studies like this about high-powered/promising women, one of which I'm part of, and they'll implicate husbands and the usual suspects in business, though perhaps more forcibly than before.

My husband tried to pull this shit on me after talking a long bullshit 50/50 child/home-work line, and for the…

The issue is that when these allegations came out, Brad Wardell admitted to all of them in some very public places, but claimed that doing all that creepy shit was his right as an employer. I guess the judges agreed with him, but it's not unreasonable to continue judging him as a terrible human being.
