I've been commenting for years and have always been a grayling. Not particularly controversial, so just boring, I guess.

Hope it went/is going well!

I've responded over there :)

Ok, found it, and read your exchange. I cosign everything BecauseoftheImplication said in the first post. It is not unreasonable in a monogamous relationship to feel uncomfortable when your partner expresses an interest in someone else, and yet lives under the same roof (for part of the month) with that person. That…

Well, "he's not worth it if he does something this shitty" is a far cry from, "This will be totally okay." If you do have to end things, it is going to be hard and awful. Seven years is a long time, and it is always difficult to let go of the life you had planned.

Uhhh...I don't think you're being "insecure" about this. This sounds like dangerous territory for him to be walking. You should not be scared of "scaring him off" either. Saying, "Hey, I am worried about the way you've been acting. I'm about to make a big change for you, and you seem to be pulling back and, at…

I am an expat on another continent than my home country (American in Europe). If you care to discuss - what's happening? Need any advice?

Sending you love. Hope things get figured out.

So it's offensive is a president doesn't show up, and offensive if he does...

No, saying that's not what I meant is not an apology... But saying, "I truly apologize to anybody that I may have offended" sounds an awful effing lot like an apology to me. What's your problem?

Call me old fashioned, but I think the "I truly apologize to anybody that I may have offended" part was AN APOLOGY.

You mean that bottle of willow bark extract, which is what aspirin is?

"Aren't we lucky"

My current girlfriend is fat. When we were first talking, getting to know each other, I had an internal debate over whether or not I had a problem being seen with a fat girl. I'm ashamed to have even thought about it. I didn't feel good about it, I don't feel good that I considered that at all. I knew that if we were…

Thank you for this comment.

I hate how he's getting all of this credit for ~starting this conversation~ all of a sudden (the internet is LOOOVING this) but women have been trying to say EXACTLY what this episode is trying to say for. YEARS. No one cares until a straight white dude decides to talk about something.

For everyone saying rinsing is the answer, every time you rinse you are exposing yourself to DMHO.
