If I'm dissatisfied enough to end it, I'm not waiting around for anybody else. I'd rather be alone than be with someone who doesn't make my life better.

I’m in my mid-forties. I’ve got a husband, three kids, and a career. I am postwall, and also post-worrying about the wall. Why would I care what internet strangers say about it? Especially when those internet strangers very likely have nothing in common with me? Oh, wow, some 23-year old engineering major is telling me that I’ve hit the wall. No shit, kid.

I used to talk to my mother pretty much every day. Over the past fifteen years or so, however, that has fallen off a lot, for several reasons. One is that I don't have the time to yak on the phone for indefinite periods of time. Another is that my mom has a habit, learned from her mother, of triangulating with my sister and me, so I no longer tell her anything that I don't want used as a topic for them to pick over and dissect. This means that I usually listen to her talk about a bunch of stuff,…

I hate these questions. Mr. Upton and I both have responsibilities to our children that we don't have to one another. And we have responsibilities to one another that we don't have to our children. Not to mention that a lot of our time is spent in the company of one another and the kids. It is possible to spend the afternoon at the park with the kids, then come home, feed them supper, put them to bed, and spend the rest of the evening having grownup time with one another.

Do you mean the previous half century? Any study of divorce statistics includes the postwar divorce boom and the 1970s divorce boom. Until we gain some distance from those events, it is difficult to accurately judge divorce rates, since those two events skew them quite a bit.

Ugh, you're not kidding. You used to be able to find tinted moisturizers that were nice and light, but now, even a lot of the BB or CC creams are super heavy. I'm 44 years old and I haven't worn foundation in decades. Usually it's just concealer and loose powder. When I do wear something on my face, it's a Dr. Jart BB cream, because it's the only one I've found that doesn't feel like spackle. Fortunately, stuff with glycolic acid does a lot of good in evening out skin tone.

Those conditions obtain for women who didn't marry before 25? Or for women who didn't find their husband-to-be before 25? The median age for marriage in the US now is 27 for women, and I have a tough time believing that all of them have done badly on the marriage market. Edit: Are you saying that the best path to happiness is for a woman to get marriage before the age of 25 to a man that she has selected with the help of her parents?

I became an adult in the 1990s, when the "natural look" took considerably less than 30 minutes. Women wore makeup like this and the crazy sculpted stuff you see today, if it was written about at all, was actively discouraged as fake-looking. I don't think I have ever spent 30 minutes on makeup in my entire life, and that includes when I did my own on my wedding day.

It's almost as though the women answering this question are different women than the ones you're observing in real life. I don't know why men bother to even ask these questions if they're just going to say "Nuh-uh!" to the women who answer them. You've already got whatever answer you want, so why waste our time?

Oh, I can speak to this! Mr. Upton was taken when we first met. I fell madly in love with him instantly; it would not have been possible for me to be more attracted to him. But as far as I was concerned, he was a non-option, due to the fact that he was taken. It didn't matter how attracted I was. He may as well have been living on the moon.

JFC if she has cooked steak salad the previous five days, it won't kill you to eat a fucking ribeye. I swear to God, terps and merps have no idea how hugely unattractive their prissy feminine preoccupation with MUH CARBS and MUH MACROS is. The day that Mr. Upton turns down steak bearniase is the day that I stop wanting to fuck him at all, because he has made it clear that the pleasures of the flesh no longer interest him.

You have a robust history of misunderstanding people's statements in ways that they did not know it was possible to be misunderstood, and more than one person has told you that your writing is unclear.

There was too much work for us to spare the time to go insane. For real, I have practically no memories of the first three months, and only very patchy memories of the next three. Edit: when I had Thing 3, though, it was like getting a guinea pig or something. Barely any work at all! It was great. Of course, she is objectively the best baby ever, so that could have had something to do with it.

She had met with the guy in a professional context, not a romantic one. If you went for beers with a guy you met at an industry event and he texted you the next day saying "Next time we should drink those beers with my cock up your ass lol" I'm guessing you wouldn't be too thrilled about it.

Because it's pointless, not least because most CFO jobs have a lot more in common with one another than most romantic relationships do. I've been with Mr. Upton since I was 22, half my life now. According to your analogy, that would make me a very good bet for anyone seeking to hire me as a CFO! Except it wouldn't. I'm really good at being in a relationship with Mr. Upton. I can tell you right now that I'd be complete shit at being in a relationship with nearly every single guy on PPD.

Well, as we all learned after 9/11, when fear of a radiological bomb was quite high in places like NYC and DC, you only need iodine tablets for a few weeks after being exposed to low-level radiation. So you can probably partake of the deliciousness of kosher salt with no ill effects, should you so choose, and assuming that you have no kind of general iodine deficiency that will cause you to develop a giant goiter.

I still use salted for baking, except for buttercream frosting. About a year ago, I made a batch of buttercream with super-salted Amish butter, and ever since, I cannot abide salted butter in frosting.

What does having big boobs have to do with the size of the shirt's cut? Women with larger racks generally need to wear V-necks or scoop necks. Although it seems counter-intuitive, these necklines detract from the largeness of the rack rather than enhancing it; it breaks up the chest area visually, as opposed to something with a high crewneck or a turtleneck, which creates an uninterrupted field of fabric and which embiggens the appearance of the rack. Every woman who has a larger rack knows that…

It has been... 25 years now? that I have been in awe of Longstreet. My undergraduate alma mater has an autographed copy of his memoirs in the library, sitting in the stacks for anybody to remove. I cannot deny that I have thought about removing them myself. The books were donated by an alumna whose father fought at Gettysburg as a private in a Pennsylvania infantry company; it was a thrill for me when I found his name on the PA state monument on the battlefield.

A week or two ago, I watched the first episode of the Ken Burns Civil War miniseries with Thing 1, and then the film Gettysburg. He was like, "What the heck happened to General Lee? I thought he was supposed to be a good general!" I was like, dude, we skipped a bunch of years; he did some pretty impressive shit. Also, he had dysentery during Gettysburg and was not exactly at his best. On the whole, though, you are correct; the South never ever ever ever could have won that war. Which is why that…

Every part of the US relies on goods brought from overseas. And there are a lot fewer aircraft out there rated for austere conditions, as they call it, than you seem to think. Victor Bout made his fortune moving goods to and from places with shit runways, but he is in prison now and the Soviet aircraft that he used was old enough that it is probably no longer able to be flown. (Also, Bout charged an absolute fortune, far more than legitimate shipping companies.)

If you need to move large quantities of goods overseas, “prohibitively expensive” does not even begin to describe how much it would cost to do so by air. US military contingencies for Eastern Europe involve moving a great deal of materiel via ship, even though it takes so much longer. And once things arrive in port, the cheapest way to move them elsewhere is via rail.

CMV: The use of what you call "total war" (which it was not; Clausewitzian "unlimited war" is a theoretical state which has only existed in reality twice that I can think of) was justified because it dramatically shortened the war and ultimately caused less damage to the South than three more years of protracted conflict would have.

This is 100% true and I can testify to the fact that a LOT of people get their backs up when someone stops them from meandering through life saying things like "I dunno, I just feel like blah blah blah."

I am married to an INTP. You might like the idea of an ESFJ, but I have never known an INTP who actually gets long with them IRL. All the things about them that you value come with concomitant downsides that have the ability to make the INTP's life very unhappy, very quickly. Things like "social grace" and "household skills" are not tied to personality type, and are not the things that cause a marriage or LTR to succeed or fail.

I don't have the slightest idea what my BMI was or is. I was a size 4 in 1996, which is smaller than a size 4 now. You think that if I was morbidly obese, you could see my point about getting macked on every time I left the house? I don't understand that.

Ha ha ha. That study that so many people here like quoting - the one that says an N of 2 is EVEN WORSE than an N of 3 or 4 - doesn't bother to determine whether N is predictive of "long marriages." It looked for the relationship between N and whether a marriage would last 5 years. The majority of those N = 0 marriages could very well have ended in divorce after 6 or 10 or 14 years.

I can only speak for myself, but not thinking about other partners during sex isn’t some kind of virtue signaling, it’s that having an orgasm during sex requires some effort, and having a disconnect between the partner in my head and the actual guy having sex with me is a distraction, not a stimulant. Orgasms, for me, don’t just sneak up and catch me by surprise, they have to be cultivated, built, and that means mostly focusing on rhythm and being “in the moment”. Exactly. I might be thinking ab…

Also the idea that you wouldn’t speak to a man if they didn’t blow your mind in sex is ridiculous. Why? If a woman values sex, why would she waste her time on someone she's sexually incompatible with? What duty does she owe some guy that she isn't even dating?

They both sound like pain in the ass children.

And yet the happiest and most successful relationships you'll find were originally intended as ONS.

Yes. A girl's father should be her first and strongest guaranteed source of positive, non-sexual attention.

Age-gap relationships used to be far more acceptable (although they were always a minority). This cultural shift is recent, and it wouldn't surprise me in the least if it shifted again in my lifetime. Sunrise, sunset. For the moment, though, most young women aren't going to want to date much-older guys. Edit: And no man who cares what "society" thinks and frets that "society" doesn't like him dating a much younger woman has any business expecting that a much younger woman throw off the shackles …

None of this matters. What matters is that relationships with wide age gaps are frowned on by the vast majority of a young woman's peers. Most women are xSFx or at least xSxx and peer approval means a LOT to them. (Indeed, I think this may even be something that they tell men over on TRP.) If their peers are going around talking about how disgusting and gross and predatory and rapey and vile it is that some 35-year-old dude is hitting on some 20-year-old, then that 20-year-old probably is not go…

Until age 30, women who had never given birth have roughly the same fecundability as a 20-year-old. Starting sometime in their early 30s, though, these women’s fecundability began to decline, and by 35, their fecundability was significantly lower than the average 20-year-old’s. By contrast, the fecundability of women who had one or more births under their belts remained higher than a 20-year-old’s through their mid-30s. It literally says that a woman who has a baby in her 20s or 30s remains more…

Actually, it doesn't matter what age you start. If a woman gives birth after age 30, her fecundability remains significantly higher throughout the remainder of her 30s than a woman who has not given birth. It would be more accurate to say that if you start in your early 30s, you can keep going throughout your 30s and likely even into your early 40s.

Adult women have always traditionally been the keepers of decorum for younger women.

On the contrary most men would be okay with that in a woman. At least a lot more men would be okay with it than women. I remember reading one of Carolyn Hax's Friday discussions several years ago and a guy wrote in asking how he should handle his wife's anxiety regarding their chil…

The weird thing is that I've got two good friends who have Ed.D.s, and their research for those degrees was hardcore. All this stuff about cognitive modeling and agent-based modeling and shit that I can't even remember. They have both gone on to do some pretty amazing things. Mr. Upton has spent some time talking to them about his M.Ed. curriculum versus what they did for their Ed.D.s, and there is zero in common between them, which just makes no sense to me.

That is not at all what I meant. You have A Daughter. You are raising her UMC, because you and your MPDG are UMC. You give her ballet lessons and violin lessons and she plays field hockey and doesn't have an after-school job. She maybe goes to horse camp or some shit over the summer. You pay for Kaplan classes to prep her for the SAT. This is the path that most UMC parents are willing to underwrite for their children, be they sons or daughters. But you have decided that, in order for Your Daught…

Is this why you want your daughters to go into prole jobs? Do you seriously think that you can give your daughters a UMC upbringing, have them get jobs working at a daycare for $25K/year, and still have them be "absolutely floored" by some guy making $50K with a leased 3-series? Unless you and your family adopt a WC/LMC lifestyle and values right this very instant, it is extremely unlikely that you will be able to kick your daughters a few rungs down the SES ladder at what you feel is the opport…

How old are you? My high SMV husband had a kid with me when I was 41, because he was married to me and had been married to me for 15 years at that point. We both wanted a third child. Would it have been a wiser course of action for him to divorce me and knock up some sweet young thing? High SMV men in their late 40s - or older - have children with their 40-something wives every damned day.

I'll admit once you've had kids and lived the family life, the wall doesn't mean much. And most women who want to get married and have kids can do so.

Because women are the ones who take care of most of the administrative paperwork involved in running a household: school forms, car registration, trash pickup, insurance claims, estimates from contractors, et al et al.

These days, apart from certain very specific religious communities, there is zero penalty for engaging in premarital sex. None.

Why do you always do this, assume that women who have waited till marriage will be cold in bed, Possibly because the average age at first marriage for women in the US is now 27. Nearly all women who are still virgins by age 27 have sex-related hangups that will prove immune to even the Chadliest of Chads, should she marry him, which she won't, because Chad doesn't marry a virgin.

You misunderstand what I am saying, perhaps deliberately. 50 years ago, a 19-year-old who came into my grandmother's house as a guest would have expected her, a married woman much older than he, to defer to him in her own house.

Given that some users here think that it is "dishonest" if women do not immediately disclose their lack of sexual interest in a man who approaches them, and given the RP tilt towards spinning plates, I was curious about the intersectionality between the insistence upon brutal honesty with respect to the SMP and the intrinsic dishonesty of spinning within the context of a marriage. And now I need a Silkwood shower to rinse the stink of academic verbiage from my hide.

I dispute this. There are users here who are strongly wedded to an idea of the way that "things" "should" be. That is not necessarily a moral vision. One can believe in societal rules and formalities without assigning morality to them. Victorian English gentlemen did not hide their marriages from their mistresses, and it had nothing to do with "morality."

Every negative AWALT trait has a positive side. TRP just concentrates on the negative side. Most women are nurturing. They want to care for those that they love.

Or are they meeting a guy at 23 or 24, dating for a few years, having an engagement for a year or so, and then marrying? I met Mr. Upton at age 22, started dating him at age 23, and married him at age 26. He is objectively the hottest guy I ever dated, by a factor of way.

I chose 2. Mr. Upton is a public school teacher. This is a fine and respectable job, but he has never and will never make what I do.

I have never in all my life known a woman who wants her husband to love her the way her father does. My own father is very ill, and part of what is so distressing about that is that I know damned well that no man will ever love me the way he does. When he dies, that part of my life is over and I will never ever get it back, and it would be pointless for me to try to.

Not at all. And likewise, I am perfectly free to laugh at the men interjecting themselves into what has for literally all of human history been regarded as women’s work. The very apotheosis of women’s work. This insistence that women immediately fall madly in love with their children is very new. In the old South, pregnant women referred to the baby as “the little stranger,” specifically because they acknowledged that nobody yet knew anything about this new person or what it would be like to hav…

43, woman, no pill, three kids. I have dealt with this exact scenario (layoff, not fired; minus the weird stipulations about welfare; wtf?) and it is not even remotely a big deal. I would not leave him and have not left him. I've been the breadwinner for our entire marriage.

I think this is male solipsism, the idea that a woman will find it admirable and virtuous that a man avoids marrying her because of "rationality" and risk aversion. For real. This reminds me of the OP a few days ago where male commenters kept telling all the female commenters that the truly masculine man is the one who allows his woman to be harassed in public by some rando, rather than protecting her.

I haven't been on the market for over 20 years now, but before I met Mr. Upton, I was 100% convinced that I would never marry. Moreover, my family and friends also thought I would never marry. I don't have much difficulty envisioning an alternate life where I would have stayed in DC and climbed the ladder, possibly with a gentleman caller at my side. But there would be zero chance that this gentleman caller would have gotten husbandly deference or prioritization.

In the West, it is wrong. All of Western societal infrastructure is set up for monogamous households. A man with a polygamous household is essentially setting up a series of single-mother households, because nothing about Western culture is constructed to accommodate that arrangement. If she's attracted to him enough, a woman will be happy to work with a married dad of 3 kids and will work an arrangement out to be with him occasionally. Nobody disputes this. But when that woman has three childre…

Last time our intertubes went down and the twins were bitter about being limited to DVDs they got a sharp lecture about how, 500 years ago, literally NOBODY ON EARTH had access to the the kind of entertainment that resides on just one of our shelves. And if they wanted to keep complaining that their entertainment options were only about 10,000 times better than those of Henry VIII, rather than a googol times better, then I would be happy to put them to work outside.

It's disgusting how disconnected people are to the past. Every time I throw in a load of laundry, which is at least twice a day, I congratulate myself on having a life that is so much easier than that of my maternal grandmother, whose fourth and fifth children - twin girls - were born in 1937 on a subsistence farm during canning season. Twin girls. Cloth diapers. No washing machine. June in Oklahoma.

You are wrong. Many of Kim’s contemporaries are single mothers and thus eligible for welfare between jobs. But for Kim, who is unmarried, childless, and on a strict regime of Depo-Provera contraceptive injections, the decision to quit a job before lining up the next one had harsh repercussions. She was hungry, and hoped that marriage class would come with free lunch. When a bus turned down her street, she stepped off the curb, but the bus did not slow down. Half an hour later, a second bus cruis…

It wouldn't surprise me. Planters generally tried to be at home when their wives gave birth (although, of course, they were not present for the actual birth), but the female relatives also descended during the last few weeks of a woman's pregnancy, for moral support, and I imagine that the mother-to-be was probably happy to have her mother and sisters there, and to not have to worry about providing porn star sex while she was 37 weeks pregnant.

I have actually worked with lexicographers and once you have given up the futile struggle to get them to make eye contact, they are perfectly willing to admit that the "dictionary definition" is not intended to encompass all of a word or term's nuances and dynamics. The science editor I knew would be horrified to think that anybody was relying on the "dictionary definition" of "science" or "scientific" or "scientific method" the way that OP is.

Dictionary definitions are intended to give a layman a sense of a word's meaning, not to provide a full accounting that a specialist would think adequate. m-w.com defines "history" as "a chronological record of significant events (such as those affecting a nation or institution) often including an explanation of their causes," which is correct, as far as it goes. A historian would not be satisfied with that definition, but it is perfectly okay for the layman and will allow him to read his Shelby…

The interesting thing is that those generations where more mentally resilient than our current ones. Do you mean the Civil War generation, the men of whom were so traumatized that the US embarked on the Plains Wars in large part to give Civil War veterans who could no longer function in society a place to go and work to do? Do you mean the WWI generation, which was so collectively traumatized by the influenza epidemic (at least in the US; it was obviously different in Europe) that they embarked …

How in God's name is the forum "peer review?" Perhaps it might pass for "peer review" for a very small portion of people there - specifically, the ones who have shared their actual identities with one another and can validate one another's actual success - but it's mainly just thousands and thousands of internet strangers posting events that can't be verified.

The very existence of a man, on the other hand, is like an implicit promethean argument for the existence of a magnanimous omnibenevolent God who wants to seed the Earth with sapient monads and watch them self-create and grow into perfect beings in the process of intelligent self-design and join him in heaven once they complete the process. This is only true of Ukrainian men. All others are trash.

This woman seems like a pain in the ass. Being a grown up is no joke! There is so much to get done all the time. Oh, bullshit.

I've got three kids and I'm here to tell you that you are going to find your need for certainty sorely tested over the next several years. Kids are walking talking ambiguity. They love something one day and hate it the next. They look like they've hit a milestone one week and then the next week they've regressed.

Well, we didn't have cars, either, but that's because we didn't need them and would have had nowhere to park them. We all walked or took Metro. This was pre-Uber, and cabs were expensive. We all spent lots of money on frivolous shit and could still afford our own places. There used to be a very famous political/military/history-focused bookstore that I passed every day on my way home from class, and I was actually relieved when it closed, because I spent so much money there.
