I was just talking about this with my husband the other day. I wonder if she thinks if she says one nice thing it will cross out the mean thing she said earlier?

yikes!

Arghhh! I get this all the time. “But, you are such a beautiful person! You’re funny, you’re smart, everyone likes you.”

I would have gone back and bought it when we weren’t together, then worn it to every family function for the next year.

Whenever my parents do the “you’re fat” thing, I remind them that I eat healthy and exercise regularly, which makes it genetic’s fault. Gave me my body, now shame me for it - thanks!

whoa

I’m so sorry. My mom is an alcoholic too, and she sucks. I love her but she brings me so much pain. I am not a rape survivor though, and couldn’t imagine how my mother would approach that.

I laughed at “horrible dream” then :( at separation. I’m sure it’s for the best, one’s happiness is the most important.

I know when the guy’s already a dick it makes it hard to ask for this, but the week of, really?

This may never make it out of the greys, but a friend of mine from college went to Vegas once and he and his buddies rented some sporty car.
