I recently read an interview with Maury (night have even been on here) asking what his craziest episodes were. He said it was that he had multiple instances of DNA tests showing twins born with different fathers.

I so agree. It’s not ideal and it’s hard to break from if you’re like me, and really crave adrenaline. I realize that’s my relationship killer flaw and I’m working (slowly but surely) to overcome that.

it’s like you both just read my mind this past week

I have experienced intense, everything-the-movies-tell-you-will-happen, all encompassing, I.Cannot.Live.Without.YOU love. And that shit is exhilarating...and draining as fuck. Because if it does work, coming down from that high that you both experienced leaves you depressed and questioning the “after” phase of the…

You can have plenty of doubt and ambivalence about small things and still be 100% certain and confident in your relationship. I’m not sure why that should be so annoying. I have annoyances and fights and it still requires effort and work, but the reason that I am ok expressing all of that is that I know that even if…

Sometimes subtlety doesn’t work.

hmmm it is almost as if romantic feelings are a complicated human phenomenon that can’t be distilled into an algorithm based on compatibility questions

I think it’s solid advice no matter what your gender is, and we definitely shouldn’t let MRAs ruin good advice. We can agree to agree with them on this one. Chances are they’ll be so stunned we might actually make some progress communicating these ideas to women before the MRA types fall back into their usual troll…

A lot of women go through financial abuse. My mom and I both have. It fills you with shame, both because you essentially got swindled and because women aren’t supposed to be the breadwinners, so there’s this attitude that if a guy spent our money that we let him in exchange for companionship, therefore we’re…

British law changed recently to add emotional abuse in to deal with domestic violence aspect (I believe in part to help men as police felt often had nothing to do in order to help male victims of non violent abuse).

I can see what the program was going for here, but I think they missed some marks. A) SO HETERO-NORMATIVE. I was a domestic violence hotline advocate for years, and many people experience domestic violence across a spectrum of relationships. A lot of folks don’t seek help because they don’t think the system can help…

In high school we had this project called "Meeting of the Minds" where every student dressed up like a great historical figure and then we were divided into groups to discuss current events from the perspective of our chosen person. I was a budding young journalist and feminist, chose Nellie Bly after some rather…

ah, im too young. (class of 2002). Dont recall a fire, but our Auditorium was haunted!

We don’t speak German you’re crazy you’re going to the asylum for life.

I get all my history lessons through Drunk History

Did anyone here ever opt out of the whole bridesmaids thing? I’ve been a bridesmaid a couple times (9 bridesmaids in one-TOO MANY BRIDESMAIDS) and the general consensus is that it sucks, everyone hates it, and it’s a complete burden.

I think it’s an American thing to assume all of Asia is one giant homogenized mass. I have a friend who is Chinese: he has told me about how people have told him...
