Comment on: He tells me everything - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I think my husband's most frequently uttered phrase is "You might need to get out the air freshener." To which I reply, "Thanks for the warning." What's wrong with saying "Honey, I don't mind hearing more »

Comment on: Can%20a%20Brown%20love%20a%20Coakley%3F
I once had a boyfriend who dumped me because I wouldn't agree with him on absolutely every topic. That sounds a lot like what is going on here. Even if your mother tells you from the time you are a yo more »

Comment on: Should%20I%20wreck%20her%20relationship%3F
Sorry, I can't hear the word "wreck" without picturing a swarming horde of carrot jockeys. (You'll have to go to cakewrecks.blogspot.com if you don't know what I mean.) Odd crush from childhood: Chris more »

Comment on: Feeling the burn - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I don't understand what it is that you're looking for with this guy. You don't say anywhere in your letter that you're looking to settle down or that you want a long-term commitment. You say that you' more »

NHSWSC, thanks to your avatar, I can't get "Bow down, bow down, before the power of Santa!" out of my head. (Or be crushed by his jolly boots of doom!) more »

Comment on: He's a warlock with a law degree - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I don't really have anything to add to the advice that has already been given.

Comment on: He needs female attention - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
My first thought after reading the letter was that the BF is an addict. It certainly explains his inability to explain why he's doing it and his emotional distress at being found out. People like to s more »

Comment on: Do%20not%20bless%20this%20mess
I had another thought. When you sit down together to draw up a chore sheet, why don't you also define what "clean" means to each of you? It should be a definition that you both agree on. For example, more »

Comment on: Do%20not%20bless%20this%20mess
Some people just naturally have a sense of how to demonstrate respect to people around them. You might need to come out and say to him the words "I know that you love me, but you can demonstrate your more »

You two kids really deserve each other. And by "kids" I mean "children." Yes, she was selfish and immature for ditching you in the restaurant, but you don't get a non-communicator to lower their shiel more »

Comment on: I can't read her mind - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
This brings back memories of college! I had this friend that I spent a lot of school time with. We never did anything socially. We were just class friends. We had the same major with the same interest more »

Comment on: The%20one%20and%20soul%20mates%20and%20magic%20
I am in the "magic is a myth" camp. Except where Harry Potter is concerned. Then magic is real. I also don't believe in meeting your soul mate. I think you make your soul mate through ups and downs an more »

Reindeergirl, the more arcane the better! I'm impressed that you have the stamina to go the whole 12 years. I got about a year into a History of Science PhD and had to quit from exhaustion. If you're more »

Comment on: Acting%20like%20he%26%2339%3Bs%20still%20married
I think the "over-educated" comments came from posters who were alluding to the Greek tragedy Antigone. You know, AITGON (the LW's acronym). . . Antigone. I thought it was clever. I freely admit that more »

Comment on: Family matters - Love Letters - Relationships questions, advice and more
I personally like my MIL and she likes me. I think I like her more than my husband does. I can't stand my BIL. But then, neither can my husband. My husband pretty much tolerates my family. Although wh more »

Comment on: 'Mastering Julia Child’
I've always wanted to make a proper cassoulet, duck, sausages, soaked beans, 48-hour time frame and all. The weather's a little warm for slow oven roasting, so it will have to wait until the fall. more »

Comment on: 'Steamy novel lands Lawrence principal in hot water'
I'm curious as to why this article has such long quotes from the book. It seems like a rather weak reporting technique. Did the editor want to pad the word count? And putting excerpts from the book on more »

Comment on: Readers%2C%20have%20a%20say%20in%20saving%20your%20paper
I take only the Sunday paper and I haven't even read that for months. I am tired of the Globe pushing its own left wing agenda instead of reporting the news. Raising prices is the final push that I ne more »
I like the OT stuff. It's hilarious. I don't comment often due to much work and a frequently slow internet connection. (I once read a whole book about Henry VIII while waiting for BDC to load. Well . more »
