If anyone ever had a reason not to get back with an ex, I did. He was the quintessential on-and-off Bad Boyfriend and not only were all my friends painfully aware of this fact, when he dumped me on the same day my father died (think Jessica and Tony birthday sitch x 10), then again after a […]
Recently, I opened up my boyfriend’s computer with no intentions of snooping, and his recent Google searches came up. He had been Googling a woman he worked with in the past. I never knew whether they had a relationship prior to ours (we’ve been together for almost two years), but I knew they had “something” […]
I’m just going to come clean: I hate every woman my husband has ever dated. I won’t apologize for it or try to get over it. I’ve resigned myself to the fact that I will always hate them to some degree, depending on the depth of their relationship. If she was a random hook up, […]

If you’ve ever actually listened to people talk about what living with PTSD is really like, it feels insane, hurtful, and offensive to then also hear other people try to say that PTSD isn’t real or isn’t a big deal. I know I was far from the only one who wanted to throw a TV at my […]
There are few things on this earth I love more than coffee and butter, but mixing them together seems nothing short of blasphemous. Bulletproof coffee, as this combo is so affectionately called, has seeped its way into the morning routines of seemingly sane people over the past few months and been beaten to death by […]
We all know that the teen years can be tough; as teens disappear into unknown worlds of social media, cult reality TV shows, and unfathomable music, it is important that parents and other key adults stay part of their world. Finding common grounds can help to keep communication channels open so that even the most […]
The unexpected side effect of running into an old friend from college on the subway and falling deeply in love with Him, for me, has been a renewed interest in my past. I can’t tell you definitively why this is. Maybe it’s because I knew Him in college, and re-meeting Him after 16 years gave […]
