I feel the same way, though I’ve never married and last lived with a partner nearly 10 years ago.

Another voice for the congratulations pile! And another one for still trying to improve!

That’s fair :) I didn’t think she suspected that he’d murder her - I was thinking more like... going through her stuff? But I didn’t make that clear enough, and I think you’re right.

I don’t know if you’re still in this relationship or not, but I wanted to give you a perspective of a stepkid, and a blended family.

I think he’s a handsome fella. Like, he’s not the “model” type, like, say, one of the Chrises (I can’t tell them apart reliably), but there’s a uniqueness, a beauty to his face, and the contrast between his performance as Kylo Ren, with all the anger and outbursts and screaming (and for me, I’m sold on Kylo being a…

She must have suspected something was up, and wondered if he was planning on doing something. I mean, one generally doesn’t get a gun and install cameras for nothing. I wonder what she thought he was going to do? Did she know he intended to kill her? What a terrifying feeling.

And who has more to be angry about than people in oppressive places, like women and girls who aren’t allowed to go to school or live freely?

Same for me! I’ve used OkC for years to meet friends, maybe more, when I move (which is often) and it’s been a really useful tool for me.

Is that a reference to the voice actor, or just lucky coincidence?

Have you seen John Oliver’s piece on it? If you haven’t, it’s honestly really informative on the scholarship angle.

It’s quite similar for me. I live across an ocean from my family, and I love missing Christmas. It’s stress-free! Christmas Eve is also my birthday, and this just eliminates all the stress. I do whatever I want (and generally have a Skype call). I’m single and childless, and I intend to stay that way. My sister is…

I hope your day got better! :)

I have a friend who is about your size, and he’s joked that for him, there are no such things as “pants”. They’re all “shorts”. He hates clothes shopping and cars, since he doesn’t really fit in them.

This is true, but their clothes are quite expensive (for me) and tend towards a business-casual, more conservative style that isn’t something I really like for myself. It would be nice to have more options than “woman wearing a sweater set in a cleaning product commercial” and “giant bag with sparkles” (I have…

I feel the same way as your wife. I’m not a fan, mostly because I just never got into it. It seemed too... “Journey of the Hero” to me, and the Force seemed too simplistic, so I wasn’t that interested. It didn’t help that all my friends were obsessed with it, so I was burned out on it before I even saw anything (I…

Right now, I am dealing with that with a friend who keeps telling me he’ll visit me. I know he thinks he will, but he’s the worst planner, and just disappears offline during the times when he says he’ll visit, so I can’t even contact him.

It hurts my feelings when people flake on me, too. Usually, I set up something because I really want to see this person, and when they cancel often, it makes me feel like they don’t want to be around me. It also means that the time I scheduled for them (and may have turned down other plans for, that I can not…

As to point No. 4, it works, I suppose, if you’re not an attractive woman. Which I’m not. I mean, I’m not a sentient toilet glob, but no one’s mistaking me for a model, here. I can count the number of times a stranger’s shown interest in me on one hand, even if I didn’t have all my fingers, and I’m in my thirties.

I had sent him a Snapchat of one my cats, and he replied back “looks like she wants to be choked. LOL!”

I really hate that logic. “It’s already terrible and hard, so I’m going to make it worse, and justify it as saying that I’m just ‘preparing’ you.”.
