I encourage you to look up the word diatribe. A sentence by sentence retort is not a diatribe. It is effective for my purpose, which was to highlight the logical errors, and critical thinking failures within the post. Finally, if it’s too exhausting for you, please consider not attempting to read something too taxing…

Arguing with me is pointless, yet here you are doing it.

What long diatribes? Have you failed to note the majority of those posts are quotes from walls of text posted by some dude who appears to have had his precious feelings hurt by someone pointing out that staying in a relationship he is comfortable with while knowing his partner isn’t getting what she wants makes him a…

Duh. Responding to myself instead of someone else.

670 square feet plus a balcony. The only thing reachable from my bed is my bedside table.

Because a desire to get married is the ONLY measure of compatibility? That’s ridiculous.

It just strikes me as disingenuous to lay the fault for the relationship continuing solely at one person’s feet, when that person has been up front about their position on the matter from the outset.

Nice strawman. Or are you just dumb?

Or he could be a decent person. He doesn’t have to be, but it still means he’s a garbage person.

And no, it’s not complete bullshit to call someone out for wasting someone’s time when he is in fact, wasting someone’s time.

I’m with you on that. Thank goodness my SO rarely snores, because we live in New York and a two bedroom apartment is really beyond our financial means.

or you could do it since you know you two are fundamentally incompatible. But sure, be the guy who lets his foolish girlfriend waste precious time with him because he can’t be a stand up guy and do the right thing.

When Luann finally told Sonja the man she was dating and falling for was Tom, Sonja’s reaction seemed a little bewildered to me. My take on it is she never thought she had a claim on her FWB, never mentioned him to her friends because it was probably an occasion thing (couple times a year), and was shocked he had…

Well you could try googling “female fertility age” and find information about how women’s fertility rates starts declining at 30 and has gone done by half by the age of 35. Maybe if you have $50K to throw at IVF (and still maybe be unsuccessful) you’re less worried about it. (Though many have done that and been…

You may find that the longer you give it, the more you get used to sleeping with someone. My SO and I have lived together for about three years now, and there was an adjustment period but now it’s not uncommon for the SO to come to bed later than me and I just sleep right through it.

However, if you have any plans for marriage and/or kids, if you don’t live with the person for a few years before commuting to that person long term, you are likely going to be unhappy.

You should probably break up now if marriage is really off the table for you.

Nobility of old also married for purely political reasons, so that really has zero relevance to marriage today.

That was covered by this: “I mean, look, you do you, and adapt to your situation. Me? I always to live with someone before shit got serious and started changing.”

I guess watching someone in an expensive market say “hey, this kitchen hasn’t been renovated in 30 years, but it will do for now” isn’t all that interesting.

She has not thrown wine in anyone’s face in a bit?My guess is like a lot of people that when she’s unhappy - in a crappy marriage, going through a child custody fight, having a child turn against her post divorce - she lashes out. Maybe finding Jesus helps her with that. She seems to recognize something of herself in…
