Congratulations! I hope it’s everything you’ve wanted! While I have never been married, I’m so single it hurts, but you just gave me hope! Thank you!

Thank you my friend. Decorating and mulled spices bring back too many memoire. Indian Food will help. It always does. Cheers.

23-year-old here. I don’t think it’s wrong to do the tough love thing and bop him out of the nest. It sounds like he’s coasting, and he needs to take things more seriously and become a functioning adult. My parents gave me the boot at 18, so I sympathize with him wanting to have fun and kick back, but it’s healthy to…

So took two pregnancy test today and I’m up the duff! It’s our first and we are chuffed, especially because we have had a tough time trying to conceive. Just so excited, had to share with someone (all of you!)

I did a BDSM scene with the man mentioned in your links, and I 100% believe her (although I believe any woman who speaks out; it’s a very scary position to be in). While he did not rape me, he did not maintain my boundaries in the slightest and I had to kick him out of where we were playing. And I thought, as we all…

<— me writing this post

Women in America are taught to love mediocre white men and that’s him in a nutshell.

Honestly? Nudie-butt time. Put down an old towel or cloth diaper and let them air out for as long as you can stand it.

I call bs on most baby crap. and toddler crap for that matter. my 2 year old likes a set of paper dolls, 1 of her books and a bowl filled with water with a plastic tea pot and cup and that there is 90% of her play.

Um, I’m weary as hell of overinflated claims made by baby products.

Not to be That Commenter, but

I used to think that, but newbie pees on me if I use a cold wipe, and doesn’t if I use a warm one. 11 days in and I’m tired of being peed upon, almost enough to run to Target and get a frickin wipes warmer.

wtf no mention of either outrageous fortune or ruthless people?

Reminds me of Khaled Hosseini’s A Thousand Splendid Suns....

Unfortunately he won’t understand any of your references. Dollars to donuts he uses the phrase “jewing them down” on a regular basis.

I definitely don’t mean this is a defense of the man - because he willingly committed this atrocity without anyone’s gun pointed at his head - but it has a lot to do with how strictly policed and ridig (no pun intended) male sexuality is. Any deviation from the norm (in this case, possible contact with a penis) is…

Are you me? I gained that 30 pounds over 15 years or so. Every time I got accustomed to my new size, I grew a little bigger. Now I’m at the point where I’m like, “Noooooooooooooooo, I used to be so slim!!!!!!!!!!!” Yeah, I’m still slim.

That’s exactly how I feel. I’d love to know how my (sex) life would have been different if the culture hadn’t been pushing fantasies of my own submission and violation on me since before I even knew what sex was.

Of interest: The porn industry is quicker to drop someone over allegations of rape than the NFL or NCAA.
