Maybe you just know some really stupid kids.

She didn’t call the wife to “time stamp”. That’s just a word she used at the reunion because that’s what it became. Sounds like she called the wife because she didn’t want her to get the wrong idea after having dinner with a (high school?) friend who happened to be married…

So it’s not obvious then. You’re just making a bunch of assumptions because she’s skinny and doesn’t eat much on camera (which is a thing others have admitted to doing because they look bad on camera eating.)

Being skinny doesn’t mean someone has an eating disorder. Some people are just skinny. I always hated it when…

To each their own. I think it’s a lovely look.

When that happens, kids figure it out, even when they are kids. But especially when they are adults.

How is it obvious she has an eating disorder?

maybe looks good IRL, but bad on TV?

Chances are that Heather would probably agree with you. But we don’t always make the greatest judgments when we’re pissed. And she was dealing with someone who was off her rocker, very irrational and combative. The only way what she did would have worked is if everyone else had vocally agreed it was time for Kelly to…

When Heather started to berate kelly (deservedly), I think a better move would have been to tell Kelly if she had any decency she would leave on her own after such a massive meltdown, but since Heather knows Kelly won’t do that, Heather will excuse herself from such a toxic and hostile environment.

I always figured her unpleasantness was the result of stress. I think she had a certain personality before all the kids, which he obviously liked well enough to marry, and then the unpleasant aspects of it became magnified from managing so many little ones with a partner who say, couldn’t manage to get his kids…

I never said they were a requirement, so I don’t know why you are trying to argue that they aren’t a requirement.

Once again, NYC real estate consists of more than just Manhattan real estate. If you try to remove that clause for a coop in the Bronx, Elmhurst, Sunset Park...well, good luck with that.

The difference is that assuming you don’t take out a home equity loan or refinance to redo your kitchen, your mortgage won’t continue to increase like rent will. I think the real pay off is when you sell you’re pretty likely to have built up equity in NYC. So you might be paying the same monthly to live in a…

you’re mistaken. It’s also important to remember that NYC real estate market consists of more than just Manhattan and luxury buildings. —Someone who just bought in NYC whose contract included a clause stating if I were unable to get a loan I’d get the down payment back. My contract wasn’t special. That’s how it works.

Flip taxes can be much, much higher than 5% of the profits.

I was you about 15 years ago. I bought a one-bedroom coop in an outer borough about two years ago. (I could have bought about two years earlier, but right before I was going to start looking I met my now spouse and something told me I’d need a little more room sooner rather than later to I waited to see how things…

buying in queens or the bronx.

you’re right.

That’s not true. Once you go to contract the contract will specifically state that if the buyer is unable to secure financing, they would-be buyer gets the deposit back. That’s why the seller (or seller’s agent) should vet buyers who can show they have money in the bank for the down payment plus whatever other…

I am truly puzzled by what you could possibly find confusing about the idea that he is wasting her time. He has stated numerous times that he knows they want different things, but he is just going to stick around until she decides to end things. He’s said they’ll break up over it eventually, so he literally is wasting…

That’s why it’s a parents job to talk about porn, how it doesn’t represent reality, to discuss the ethical issues surrounding it, that while the acts in much of it are portraying seemingly non-consentual encounters, it is in fact all consentual and is a fantasy, etc. With both boys and girls.

It absolutely would not have been unfair of him to break up with you. That’s ridiculous.S someone can break up with you “for your own good” and that’s a perfectly valid reason to break up with you. No one owes you a reason to dump you that *you* approve of. To believe otherwise is profoundly self involved.
