2. I honestly wonder what letter writers like this hope the advice columnist has to offer. Like, in their secret inmost heart, what is the dream? That the advice columnist will say, "If you simply use white vinegar on stubborn stains, they will lift out like magic! and also your husband will stop using emotional abuse to get his way on literally any issue he wants, knowing that you're in an economically hard position to leave!" What tricks and tips might exist here? He's not going to therapy, you've given up on your marriage, and you don't feel you can leave. O...kay? So the advice columnist can tell you...look for what days the museums in your area have free days so you can get yourself and the kids to a space he isn't in? Revel in the days of silent treatment knowing that you don't have to hear his worthless opinions? I just feel like this is beyond the scope.

(Also this is why I hate it when people call sex "intimacy." Whatever it is that this sorry waste of space is initiating right there, it AIN'T INTIMACY.)

6. I still feel great about the time I was sitting with the asshole my cousin was dating at a family wedding and pointed out to him which aunts she was said to look like. She does look like them, and they looked gorgeous at this wedding. They are also large women. And I thought, if this guy runs at the thought that Cousin looks a lot like Auntie, GOOD RIDDANCE; if he says, oh how nice, I've misjudged him. They broke up over a pretext within the same month. Was it my fault? Maybe, maybe not, but she met her current husband shortly thereafter, and he's been a loving and loyal partner through two pregnancies and two major illnesses. And is nice to our fat aunts as well as our thin ones.

Frankly if someone said to me, "I couldn't love you if you looked like [family member]," even if it was one of my family members by adoption or marriage whom I had literally no more chance of looking like than a rando on the street? byeeee. That's a weird thing to say even about any human, but a member of the person's family? YUCK.

7. Is there any word on the horse this woman rode in on, or...?
