I think it's heartless to ask an animal to endure all of this to make a human feel more human. Animals do not understand why we inflict pain on them and the money spent on this sad critter could have been used much more wisely to help dozens of other animals who would enjoy a better life than poor Dunkin. My heart…

I'm going to be at least a little heartless, so if you are not also heartless, probably don't read. Forewarned is forearmed.

This girl reminds me of the grown up version of sophia grace.

Classic middle-child resentment.

I'm the youngest and my parents left me in the gift shop at Mt. Rushmore. So that is not limited to middle children.

Middle children make me think of this:

I get what you're saying. My husband is basically my age (3 year difference) and we still have huge "cultural differences" because he was more mainstream than I was growing up. I can't imagine dealing with someone whose entire references were completely foreign to me. It sounds like it would be fun for a while, but…

I used to watch Jenny Jones and Ricki Lake when they had their 'From Fat to Fashion Model' and 'You Tortured Me in High School, Look Who's Laughing Now' and they rarely ended up the way the person exacting revenge wanted it. Some people genuinely did not remember the people who brought them on the show. Some…

Those situations are awesome because they are spontaneous and genuine. Harping on a failed relationship and envisioning (hell, even outright planning) revenge almost never pays off the way the random moments of "yeah, you done fucked up" do.

Yeah, revenge in general is pretty petty, and it is lowering yourself to their level. It would be more productive if these fatphobic people were given a nice talk with a therapist instead, but who wants productive, right?

Revenge so rarely goes the way one wants it too. Idk. Hanging on to a desire to show someone what's what just means giving that person space in your head that they don't deserve. You don't have to forgive them, but move on and see what life is like without them.

My partner is 15 years older than me and what I have found is that we contribute to the relationship and to our shared home equally (financially and chore wise) so there is no power issue between us. We are both very egalitarian and respect each other. For a relationship with an age difference to work you have to be…

I was afraid to comment saying I think she is handling this well give all the weirdness, but was feeling like I would get thrashed. I am totally with you.

I agree. I can't imagine dating someone twenty years my junior. Well, mainly because that would make my date ten years old, and I just haven't been into Bratz and Monster High like I used to be.

For me, I'd have a hard time with the obvious unequal power dynamic. No matter how hard we tried, I don't know if I could handle being with someone who was substantially further into his career than I was. Same goes for being with someone who was hugely more wealthy than me. I just couldn't hack it.

I'd be uncomfortable admitting to a love for the Backstreet Boys and N'Sync as well.

She went to MIT so she's probably not an obedient, me so horny stereotype.

LOL casual racism from a guy complaining about racism

Whaaaaaaaaa..? She's an entrepreneur, not a mail-order bride. And is being an "Asiaphile" the only reason you can think of that a white guy would start a relationship with an Asian woman?

I was just thinking this exact same thing. I'm also glad Jessica wrote this.
