Interesting. I could say the same things about my divorce. I think it's an issue of how an unexpected crisis can cause you to reevaluate your choices. If you're lucky, you're in a position where you can face everything and rise.

Re: LW1 - I have a sweet guy friend who is a great guy and an amazing dad who consistently (and only) tries to date way above his 'strike zone.' I've finally come to the conclusion that he's consistently seeking out women who are highly likely to reject him because he's just not over his divorce and doesn't have his…

Don't you think it took REAL, MORAL COURAGE to implement a decision that I TOTALLY AM NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR MAKING?

I always wonder how much I read about J.Lo's "diva" reputation is her being an actual pain in the ass, and how much is planted by her publicists to get coverage for her latest project. My guess is 70/30.

It'll be interesting to see if they can remake the brand or not. I always thought of LV and Coach as brands for people with more money than taste.

Awww, thank you! I absolutely love your idea of getting tattooed over scars - I'm a big fan of ink! I've pretty much made peace with mine - or at least gotten used to living with them, so it's really not too bad. Best of luck to you on your Baby journey - you sound like you'll be an amazing mom!

So much THIS. My excuse is that despite having a gym addiction and outstanding resting heart rate, blood pressure and cholesterol scores, two pregnancies have left me covered with scars from my navel to my pubic bone. Scars that I have always been super self-conscious about, and that will not go away no matter how…

Look, I hate to break it to you, but if your brain hadn't been drinking and walking alone at night on the Internet, it never would have run into that strange Emily Yoffe article, so... I'm not saying it's your fault that you read that, or anything... but.... (judgemental stare).....

I think dobetterish was agreeing with you, and pointing out how sadly common this victim-blaming mentality is, by referencing Internet prude Emily Yoffe, who acts she's the only person whose ever suggested that these drink-y, slutty rape victims should maybe stop being so drink-y and slutty. I know I wanted to punch a…

I submit that we have not addressed the true crisis facing this nation: better 55 million abortions than one child born to parents with Duggar hair!

Exactly - I think it was always assumed that Gwyneth skipped the Weinstein couch bc she was connected.

I change my guess, then. I think VF's big scoop is that when the cameras leave, GOOP throws away all the vegan, gluten-free food, and gorges on Honey Boo Boo sketti made from ketchup, butter and sugar.

Oh, snap! I forgot about that....

My guess? (Based on my extensive inside knowledge of nothing) Gwyneth, unlike most of Harvey's girls, has Hollywood parents. Blythe Danner was an actress and Bruce Paltrow was a movie producer. Gwyneth was born with the connections to get her where she is today, and it would be embarrassing (and very off-brand for…

Oooohhhhh, anyone think that it may have to do with the trajectory of GOOP's early career, and a one Harvey Weinstein?

Nah. All her friends are guys, because other women are so catty and jealous.

Thanks for that link! I like the cut of this broad's gib.

"I hurt people who are married and who believe in marriage."

D'awww, thanks. And hey, feel free to message me if you ever just want to chat or vent - welcoming someone else's child into your life is a Thing. It's humbling, challenging and so, so rewarding. The fact that you're thinking about these things now is an indication of how much you care - you're going to do a great…

Damn, that's a tough one. Kudos to you for being sensitive and aware of this kid's need for love and structure. The only advice I can offer, based on my stil-evolving experience with resplendent.stepson is to be gentle but firm ("I want to hear what you have to say, Kevin, but your daddy is talking right now. You can…
