Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

ita mocks my pain.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Did we notice this [link] from the People site?

I still have letters from a guy that I lived with for a couple of years. Those letters (written while I was working out of state for the summer) were entirely welcome. We also had a habit of randomly leaving little notes for each other, but I don't think I kept any of those.

A couple of other guys wrote me letters that were flattering, but because I wasn't really into them just seemed kind of odd. The most random (this was when I was 26-27) was from a guy I hadn't seen since I was 16.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Dude, I have more creepy guy stories I can share. You think I don't know from pain and guys going to twisty lengths to get in your face?

Now tagless for your comfort.

I never had any love letters. I did get a gut-punching "you're such a good friend" letter from my high school crush, though.

He's a surgeon now.

After we stopped going out, I recycled my love letters from Favorite Ex...if I had known we weren't going to stay in touch, I might have kept the ones without the clip art. I do have several...love e-mails?

I've written love letters, and now I wonder if they were creepy.

Write me one, and I'll tell you.

Me, unsurprisingly? I've never even thought of writing one.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Man, I've never gotten even a creepy or sucky love letter.

Yeah, but you have gotten a valentine.

What counts as a love letter? A first time declartion of love, or just regular schmoopy letters between separated lovers? I've got plenty of the latter.
