He's my co-worker, he's my life partner, and he's a grown up, just like me.
co-workers
modern couples
Keeping your own furniture around "just in case" is the modern, non-famous, non-married form of a pre-nup.
boyfriends
Have you ever wondered how your boyfriend would eat/have clothes without you? Have you frequently been told by dudes how "perfect" you are for them, followed by "I don't know how you put up with me"? If so, then you might be a Jesus Girlfriend.
buzzfeed
I've grown out of letting how I look dictate how much fun I'm having, but I'm still weighing the pros and cons of summer on feminine beauty.
guilt
Am I alone in the ever-evolving guilty feeling that I'm not communicating with my parents enough?
relationships
Do offer your support in the form of a cocktail, ice cream, a kitten video -- this is especially helpful if you have a hard time knowing what to say to people with medical issues. Ice cream says it all.
dorks
I don't know if you've noticed, but nerd culture is kinda the big thing going now. THEY GET LAID. A lot.
dye jobs
My hair's only constant is that it always changes.
childhood misconceptions
I was in college (COLLEGE!) when it dawned on me that drinks had calories in them.
facebook
Please. Let's not make brunch snarking a thing.
ads
If you are going to be racist, you better be saying the funniest thing anyone has ever heard.
bff
Yes, it was pretty codependent. Gloriously so. My husband became an afterthought to Morgan and I, and he seemed okay with it.
body image
"Look!" she says, innocently enough, "Your legs are like, twice as big as mine!" I never prop my legs up again, and from that one comment, I feel myself turning inward, trying to become smaller than I am.
conversation
I know how to banter at a party -- I just don't know how to make a break for it.
going abroad
When I travel, I desperately want to be thought of as a local.
boy craziness
It recently occurred to me that perhaps one of the reasons some women are constantly focused on “snagging a man” is that it frees up some of our brain space.
anxiety
I have a rare condition where too much stress can actually kill me, but my treatment can probably help you to not wig out too.
drag
I eventually realized, while reading papers about how women should be taken seriously for their ideas and not just their looks, that discounting femininity was part of The Patriarchy too.
cat
I didn't hate these girls -- I was obsessed with them, and worse, jealous.
marriage
I feel like at some point in time, some network fat cat set a rule that sitcoms are funnier when the married/partnered couples seem to be barely tolerating each other. And it's a bummer.
gaming
Are you looking to dip a toe into the world of console gaming, even if it's only for the sake of your boyfriend/husband/partner? This post is for you.
fantasy
The books remind me of that bad boy I kept dating as a teenager, the one who would stub out a cigarette on my favorite stuffed animal and then take me dancing.
compatability
I wish that I could have advised my younger self that it's better to get out of a relationship than to change yourself to stay in one.
christmas shopping
Buying Christmas presents for people, even the ones I love, fills me with more anxiety than anything else in my life combined -- and I used to work exclusively with suicidal people.
