I sincerely thank you for just being like, "Yeah, I was an asshole. You live and you learn" about the whole thing.

"he had "received revelation" that we were to be married"

There is NEVER a "rightly so". He should've trusted you and once proof that the trust wasn't earned is shown, ended it right there.

@Joile- for some reason I decided that getting a traditional Indian arranged marriage was a good idea. So after meeting the guy once- our families got together and his parents proposed to mine. They accepted. (yes- that's exactly how it went down)

He proposed to me on a beach on an island.

Ugh. What's up with your sister?

My ex popped the question after I had already broken up with him for (among other things) his lack of commitment. I had full on moved out and it had been a month since our breakup, but I was over because I still had a key to his apt as I was helping him raise his son. I told him I'd give him some time to make solid…

I came back from the doctor and said I probably couldn't get pregnant without a lot of help - help I've decided I didn't want. He hugged me, said it was OK, and asked me to marry him. Right there, in the hallway, with a litter box not 2 feet away. I said no.

When I daydream about my future-engagement, this is exactly how I imagine it goes.

...what about a discussion about the point in a relationship where it's either take the next step, or go separate ways? every relationship gets there eventually, but there's not a whole lot of guidance to navigating the "we've been together six years, so are we gonna Do This or should we just split?" waters.…

I'm gonna try "Let us fuck" tonight. Will report back.

I know we usually reserve this for criminals, but can someone get this woman a modelling contract? Her bone structure is the realness.

I won EIGHT DOLLARS in that Powerball drawing, which I invested in a very delicious beer. Try to contain your jealousy.

And now for all the family members who clearly didn't lend a helping hand when she needed to quit her two jobs to show up and remind her of that-thing-they-did-that-one-time.

I love this so much because when you are laugh/crying you KNOW it's totally bonkers but you have no control...it's just coming out like emotional vomit.

So I'm Australian so feel free to bash away, but I am gobsmacked at the "child safety" priorities here. Every day I read on my newsfeed in the US about mass school shootings of children, children shooting each other at home, a 2 year old shooting their mother in Walmart, accidental death of 6 year olds playing with…

Honestly, I'm less panicked over this than I am when I read about kids being "home-schooled."

There is such a thing as a ginger juicer (they're kind of like citrus juicers, except with a bunch of short spikes instead of a cone with ridges, I've seen them in Asian cooking clips on youtube), but you can actually just chop up fresh ginger, smash it, then strain off the fibrous bits. I'd assume the same process…

You can blend both of those things (seperately) and then strain through a fine mesh strainer. It'll take awhile to strain but they're both pretty watery so that'll help.
