Ahhh, thanks.

Oh my God, I'm so sorry. But I'm also happy for you, that you're out of that situation this year, and sorry for the next person who gets involved with this emotionally abusive dickhead. Good for you for steering your way through this nonsense.

He also somehow gets away with having more sex partners than Samantha Jones and Blanche Devereaux combined, without suffering the consequences to his reputation. Not that double standards are his fault, but it irks me.

Agreed. Even Marshall and Lily are starting to aggravate me.

I have that feeling too, then I think—would I want a character I LIKE to be fated to spend her life with Ted?

But wasn't the Mother the roommate of Rachel Bilson at the same time that Sarah Chalke is supposed to have been reconnecting with her ex? Or am I getting the seasons mixed up?

I'll agree that it's some of her business, but certainly not all of her business. She's not one of the two people in the marriage. She may be still living at home, which would give the situation a much greater impact on her daily life...but if she's not, this is one of those situations that cause people in her…

Oh, God, what a shitty position in which to find yourself at Christmastime.

Many people who cheat don't WANT to break up with their primary partners, though. I wouldn't be surprised to learn that MOST people who cheat aren't really interested in making a full life change (though I haven't heard that expressed in an actual statistic—I'm just making a guess). They want both.

Did they know about each other??

Well, that's cool. Friends are good too!

I will admit that it's been awhile since I was in circulation, but after 4 days I'd probably assume that he wasn't going to call. It's hard to pick the right moment, though. UGH, dating is hard.

eh, I don't think that's really a fatal mistake. I mean, it sounds like it didn't work out for you, but I don't think you need to beat yourself up over that. It's a minor tactical error at worst. I wouldn't advise it if someone asked me, but that kind of enthusiasm can be flattering, and it's not like you ran to her…

Well, I can certainly tell you based on my high school experience that being needy and desperate does NOT work, so...yeah, sure, hard-to-get. Let's go with that.

I know...it almost seems like he's playing a character. That carabiner with the keys is just TOO perfect.

I feel like it goes past that, into full Tin Man!

I wonder if Justin Theroux owns any clothing without bits of metal dangling from it.

My guess is that the health and safety regulations violation had more to do with the mouth-bleeder than the stickers.

I was under the impression that Men's Health was a stealth gay magazine (see also: Details). So I would suspect that a man whose bathroom was filled with issues of Men's Health is probably invested in your breast size as a signifier of his own heterosexuality, over which he is perhaps conflicted.
