I've only been in one LDR but it was with a guy from goddamn England (I'm in IL) so it was a super LDR. And yes, we met in an online game. We were friends for years, talked on the phone but mostly through chat because we were both 16 and didn't have a chance in hell of meeting. Things got relationshippy about 3 years…

From someone who has sort of been there, but in the child's role, I am so sorry. I said things like that to my parents, caused so much heartache and they kept going to so much trouble to help me. I didn't really get in trouble in school, but I did stop doing the work and straight up quit high school until they and a…

FUCK YES GOLDEN GIRLS.

Failing at adulting is so common, I swear there are no actual adults in existence. I can almost guarantee you're failing less then I am, though! HIGH FIVE.

If anyone remembers my post last week (where I talked about bi problems and awkwardly slipped in mention of my abusive relationship), I just want to again thank everyone who starred/replied to this scared ass new girl. The advice and caring was amazing in a time when I haven't felt much love or support. I'm still in…

I don't even see it as my deal to forgive him, as I'm not the victim of his abuse. Forgiveness is Janay's business. I'll always remain disgusted with his actions, but if he actually follows through and does what many haven't - recognizes what he did wrong, why it was wrong, and makes a good example of himself in the…

Hot take on this issue that nobody here has ever heard before. Very eye-opening, thanks.

Ha! I went through the opposite of this: in 8th grade, one of the cool girls asked me why my arms didn't have hair, and I said "I don't know, they just don't" (probably really defensively). She looked majorly impressed. I had actually started shaving them out of desperation because I'm Greek and pale-ish and have…

So this is a big downer but why not spill it here, right? When I was 15, I attempted suicide by overdose of Tylenol and alcohol. I had no idea how much a fatal dose of anything was, so I just woke up the next day and spent approximately 36 hours throwing up regularly. My mom was obviously concerned, so I told her I…

I gotcha, I have body issues as well and it's terrible no matter who you are. I wish people could talk about it without diminishing the experiences of others.

I'm only 5'2" and I've often fantasized about my legs stretching a few inches so I don't have to go out of my way looking for short jeans and I can wear a maxi dress without tripping over it. Serious short girl problems like that. After reading about this procedure and how depressing the whole thing is, in the words…

As a bitter, worn out hag ready to get out of her second cataclysmic relationship in a row, I approve this message. To anyone wanting to move in with someone, yes even your sweetie honey bunny love-of-life, DON'T DO IT! LIVE FREE! Try living in different states. Take lovers on the side and compare notes while you have…

I'm sorry, I think I fail at sarcasm. I would never use "misandry" unironically. I do feel sorry for this kid; I wasn't intending to mock him but all the drive-by posts on topics about men that shout at us women as a group for being callous about their pain.

Really? A DEFLATED FOOTBALL?!? Once again Jezebel is making light of Men's Issues and nobody complains. If this was a FEMALE getting her football-shaped breasts reduced, you people would be holding a candlelight vigil for her. Have fun fighting for your "gender equality," ladies.

When I'm feeling especially angry at rich people, I like to buy designer clothes I can't really afford using Paypal credit's 6-month financing. Then they think I'm rich, but really I'm even poorer than I was before. That'll show them!

So I read pretty much everything on my Kindle now, DEAL WITH IT, and I like the fact that people can't immediately see the titles of what I'm reading. I read some pretty strange books on whims. Of course, there's always the person who sits next to me/sidles up to me and asks "So...whatcha readin???" Last time this…

This is actually a Midwest thing? No wonder I see it all the time lately and my mom's so obsessed with it. I went to visit my parents and she presented me with the bottle, proudly exclaiming "RUMCHATA!" I actually love horchata and rum drinks, but not this combo. So I feel your trauma, but I've been giggling at your…

I like "#gamergate doesn't do that," as if GG is this one awesome dude, her best buddy who taught her how to hold a controller and tells her how hot she looks when she's getting headshots in Call of Duty...you know, makes her feel like one of the guys. GamerGate would never do anything untoward to his lady friends!…

I used to think like this, because I was VERY insecure (still have body image issues) and my last boyfriend went out of his way to let me know how badly he wanted to have sex with many other women. He did a number on my trust and self esteem. Now, I actually find it fun to talk about fantasizing during sex. Sometimes…

Is Jaden Smith's tweet a super smooth pickup line or a motivational life lesson? "Sure your relationship is in shambles, but you still have a functioning face!"
