To the couple: When I was first out of college, my sister's father died and I had to choose between petitioning for custody, letting her go into foster care, living a with a friend of the family, or going back to live with our very inept, unstable mother. She's been with me now for almost six years, and while I would…

change it. change it. I know you say you have an iron-clad divorce, but I simply can't recommend it strongly enough. I worked in banking for 5 years and the shit people do to each other..... change it, lock him out and don't engage. what's he going to say? "why can't I look at your charges anymore?"

I snooped on my ex husband & discovered that he was cheating. I don't regret it. I'd tried to talk about feeling uneasy about aspects of our relationship, tried handling it like an adult, tried to be understanding, all of that. The end of those adult, rational approaches left me shaken and crying in the corner,…

Stop fibbing. I know about you and the head of student financial aid.

I am a PI (though in my office don't do a lot of domestic stuff); you'd be surprised at how little work that you think of for a cheating spouse is even close to legal anymore. Most reputable PIs don't do it because (a) as you said, legally proving infidelity isn't a major issue in most divorces now and (b) a lot of…

Yeah but by the time B happens, you might have an STD. Or, if you are married, you might have a pregnant mistress requiring child support payments taking resources away from your own children. Time does not always make things better in these situations. The sooner the truth is out, the sooner it can be dealt with by…

I try to treat every electronic communication like it might eventually be made public. Don't hold your breath waiting for a sext from MildredBonk.

I wonder how much of this was done by people that weren't having a significant other checked out.

I have been thinking how come so many people don't see she is actually being very critical of this generation, and I had not thought that maybe some people are to close to see it... good stuff...

me too. and i even thought this week's episode was one of the weakest of the series but the whole gawker/jezebel discussion made me so happy. i was stalking the sites today to see if they'd actually cover it. and i say this as a lover of Girls/Lena and Gawker and Jezebel

Haha! I'm a HUGE fan of the show because...IT'S A FUCKING COMEDY. I don't understand how we're on season 3 and people don't get it! It's supposed to be funny, people!

Who else laughed at Hannah's comment about Jezebel, because we ALL knew it wasn't true? It's funny that this aired right after Jez's horrible horrible ten thousand fucking dollars offer thing, and it goes to show who's the mature one here (which is something I thought I would never say about the character of Hannah…

A blog post about a TV script about a blog post.

I'd just like to announce I am now leaving the Jezebel site because I am so incredibly disgusted with all of this.

Haha, me too. I wear my grayness as a badge of pride. It means I get to say whatever the hell I want without fearing the loss of some imaginary in-group status.

About 50% more people read coverage of Dunham alone on this site in one week than watched her show. It may not be "nice" to point that out, but fuck it, it's the truth.

The "faux altruism" you got called out for was the blatant insincerity of: "Lena is sooo perfect and gorgeous and NOT fat just the way she is!! (but send us photos of her without photoshop so we can post them and other people can judge how ugly and chubby she is and we can get clicks) xoxo".
