they let societal expectations and/or children shape their choice to be in the relationship rather than it being a wholly conscious decision

It’s especially awkward watching straight couples start to wither because they let societal expectations and/or children shape their choice to be in the relationship rather than it being a wholly conscious decision. My partner’s best friend’s marriage is going through a slow implosion because the husband seems intent…

It seems like in these situations the pandemic exposed long-standing relationship problems. For example, the unequal division of labor in the home could probably be resolved early on with open, honest, vulberable AF communication (with or without the structure of therapy), but for couples who hadn’t built this type of…

I did a tally once, and my husband and I are about equal on average.

THANK YOU for saying this. I also came from a family where not only my mother got fucked over, but almost every single one of my aunts got fucked over. And some of those women are still in their marriages and tell me they’re happy. But, they sure as fuck don’t look happy.

I’m in a mom group on FB of 50 moms of kids born in early 2017 and in the last 4 months, 7 couples have separated or started the divorce process. I thought that it may be a trend beyond our little clique, so sad that it’s a real thing, but also, take care of yourself, ladies, and dump that man if you need to.

It’s amazing how different Meghan is only because she lived an independent life before marrying Harry. No wonder the Firm likes them either young and naive (Diana) or completely devoted with no sense of self or independence (Kate).

Everytime England dumps a royal, they just import a fresh one to replace them. There is something deep within the English national character that just loves the taste of bootleather.

And a lot of them all balls deep in MLMs, too. Which just goes to show...

Can’t star this enough.

I think it’s less about “freedom” for some people than about some weirdass mix of irrational belief in their own invulnerability and perhaps PTSD, mixed with a strangely macho working environment. My mom was an OR nurse for most of her career, and she worked in ER before that. She smoked until several years ago, and…

What the actual fuck is wrong with these people?

Oy. Fuck off. These Shelter Update posts are the only reason I (and I suspect some others) still check out the SNS.

So I went on a fourth date with this guy on Friday. It’s been going well, stuff in common, enjoy our conversations, etc etc. I went over to his apartment for the first time after we got dinner, and it was a pretty “dude” apartment. Living room and kitchen were mostly clean, but no art on the walls, some plaster…

I can not for the life of me find the quote, but it was something like "does math faster than southern women at a christening". Y'all stay out of these folks business. He probably shouldn't be getting into a serious relationship this newly sober but you know, getting sober makes you take inventory of your whole life…

I’m the opposite. Everything is awful and sometimes some low-stakes celebrity gossip can be a nice palate cleanser after reading about the new and exciting ways everything’s just burning down around us.

I think her getting married in a low-profile way to a non-celeb and being pretty much out of sight for the past few years indicates she felt the backlash she got for the cool girl schtick. I wouldn’t be surprised if she stays low-key and never goes back to the full, max exposure route.

I look forward to JLaw telling us what a chill, relatable mom she is and how motherhood is so relaxing so can we dial down the drama already just like she did when she was engaged.

For the love of all that is holy and all that is not can you PLEASE ignore those goddamn Duggars? They are famous because they fuck a lot and consider themselves godly despite enabling a known pedophile for years. They follow a seriously screwed up philosophy that makes women basically just baby machines with no voice…
