I’m idly scrolling through Facebook the other day. Someone made a post with an image of Diane from Bojack Horseman, after her divorce from her celebrity husband where she states, “You feel even more alone than before you left. But you survive. You learn that you can survive being alone.” A lot of people cheered […]

“She doesn’t get to be traumatized!” Firstly, let me say that my munchkin and her biological mother have a strained relationship. There’s plenty of reason for her to feel angry towards the woman who gave birth to her. Of course, that would almost be an upgrade to her current coldness and indifference. Except when moments

“Being a mom must be hard,” she says. It’s true- to an extent. But I’ve got a dirty little secret for you. Sssshhh, come closer!

I’m out with friends the other night. One girl– my friend’s friend visiting from out of town– doesn’t finish her last drink. Of course I’m the one that downs it (supposedly impressively quickly, but, hey, I’m tired and I want to get home.). I don’t know if I instinctively don’t want to waste a perfectly

If you flirt with another? I’ll happily curl up with you and chat with them about your new crush. If you play games, I’ll grow disinterested and wander off. If you, well, I don’t have the time to list everything you might do. But I’m sure there’s plenty of strategies. Perhaps you think it’ll make

It’s tempting, I’ll admit. When someone hopes desperately that I am the evil, horrible, no good person they want me to be. But why would they want that, you say? If it’s happened to you, you already know the answer to this. Thankfully, not all of us have. Because if you are that person, you see, it

I told one of the munchkins “thank you” the other day– and they didn’t say you’re welcome. I noticed this happened again. Which is unusual for them, because, truly, they are polite and caring kids. But I didn’t say anything to them, because I realized I don’t say “you’re welcome,” either. I do say other

“So what brings you here?” I’ve gotten that question all night. I’m at a swinger party, hardly anyone knows anyone. I’ve stumbled on one or two friends, but that was complete random happenstance. I have no idea where they are now, and my partner has yet to arrive. So I’m speaking with some women in

I told someone the other day that I never push past the no. “I would never do that,” I say. “There’s absolutely no point, anyway, and it violates their consent. If they decline your pursuit, respect that.” “But what if they really want you to chase them?,” they ask me. “What if they do,” I
