Myhusband of 20+ yrs asked me to move out via email, while I was away at my sister’s last December. I moved into an apartment within three days and have been happier (with my new little adopted dog) than I can ever recall being before. It was such a freeing feeling, leaving behind so much junk, and oh yeah, him too,…

I’m a Starwood member and I used to travel a lot. Not as much as these guys listed, but enough that the membership mattered. This is the first I’ve heard of this and my initial thoughts were very similar to the “well there goes the individual service” which made all my stays at Starwood hotels much better. I’m…

Or they’re regular people that have to travel for a living and want some niceties for being away from home so often. Having these perks makes travelling for work a bit more livable.

Are there worse problems in the world? yep.

Certainly, those quotes are overwrought. But the perks of these point systems aren’t insignificant - on Starwood, once you reached a certain status you got 10 free nights (I think - I don’t have that status yet). The guys quoted can afford 10 nights in a hotel so whatever, but I can’t. That perk would have let me…

Sure, there are bigger battles to fight, but if you are someone who does spend a 100 nights a year in a hotel and a couple of hundred thousand miles a year with your butt in an airplane seat (I do neither of those things any longer), the perks of elite status do matter.

Honestly, I don’t really see how having a trial marriage is that different from living together for a year or two before marriage. Except perhaps combining your finances, living together will give you the same day-to-day experience as being married. And hopefully you’ll have thoroughly discussed finances and any other…

I’ll be honest, marriage/proposals are one of those areas where I’m actually baffled by the usual feminist responses. When I get the advice that I, as the woman, should be the one to propose, it often feels like the feminist giving me that advice is somehow ignoring *all other areas* in which women are already…

This one:

That point about compromise — a lot of people seem to view that as a bad word these days. When you say, “relationships require compromise,” some people will look at you like you just said, “relationships require disrespect and abuse.” The idea of accepting that you can’t have everything exactly the way you want it…

you know how boys start whacking it around 10-11? girls gotta start whacking it earlier too (cause isn’t like the average age when women start masturbating like early 20s?).

“I’m genuinely going to miss him. He knew how to push everyone’s buttons, had no patience for the rigorous blandness of the perfectly calibrated reality program he found himself amongst, and clashed fabulously with Kris.”

Pros: Celebrity story to tell friends and possibly sell to Press.

Boyfriend and I recently started a new tradition: on our anniversary, we go away for the weekend, get really high, and talk about our feelings. We don’t call it a performance review, but that’s essentially what it is. 5/5 would recommend.

I say this all of the time but anyone who thinks Scott is charming, or somehow more tolerable than the Kardashians is an idiot.

Proof that I married into a non-organized crime family: one of our wedding gifts was a picture crafted out of various-colored corn kernels, courtesy of Uncle Howdy and Aunt Eleanore from Dubuque.

And the Bride worn Pnina Tornai, of course.

Tell the limo driver you will gut him like a fish.

My nude lipcolor = bright red.

Not just a weekend thing, but I can’t for the life of me get rid of these goddamn ingrown hairs on my bikini line and it’s kinda making me want to throw myself out of a moving vehicle.
