That seems like a very high-school way to deal with it.
I'm not overly fond of this woman anyway, although I do feel bad for her because it sucks to discover one's partner has been unfaithful. But mostly my response is to cringe. These are 2 people who really should have broken up about 3 months into the relationship, but instead moved in together after 2 months. It's been an ugly, messy road, so I can't say I'm surprised that the relationship has hit this point, but I still think posting about it on FB is cringeworthy.
(This is the woman who, at a pool party, when she saw Tim alone in the pool, took off her bathing suit and jumped in and swam over to him. I am not inclined to be overly generous in my feelings toward her.)
Oh, that one. Sounds like her sense of judgement is...not.

Their relationship has been train-wrecky since the beginning, with the biggest obstacle being that the cheated-upon woman is a cisgender woman, and the cheater is a MtF trans woman who was still living as a man when they met, but who started to transition shortly afterward. Cheated-upon has always said she isn't a lesbian and loves cock and needs a "real man" in her bed (and, AFAIK, has men who she sexes up, with her partner's approval).
There's long been a lot of weird shit going on there, so I can't say the demise of the relationship is totally surprising.
(Note: there's nothing wrong with wanting sex with a dude, but it just seems like being in a relationship with someone who is actively moving AWAY from being a dude might indicate that there will be problems down the road.)
(I'm also expecting her to start calling Tim for consolation.)
Shir, have they figured out what's causing the deafness?
No headache for Deena! Feel better.
except for how I have to find gifts for him to buy at Target. I may be making this too hard. I want it to appeal to him and to the giftee, and be inexpensive.
Target has the dollar section and some inexpensive jewelry. There's a variety of scarves, hats and mittens. They also have an assortment of things like lip gloss aimed at teens.
My dislocated rib twinges in sympathy, Hil. There's almost nothing I can do that doesn't hurt, except sitting or lying still.
I got most of my sexy reading from books, not from visuals. Some things just mystified me -- in the Clsn of the Cave Bear, all Auel said was that Ayla would kneel and "present." I simply could NOT figure out WTF that MEANT and how that could possibly work.
I knew what penises looked like, from diapering cousins and technical illustrations, but until we found that stash of porn in the woods at 10, I'd never really seen photograph of a real adult penis.
Again, my reaction was "WTF? REALLY? Um...weird. I'm glad I'm a girl." I suppose it didn't help that it was the early 80's and most of the guys looked like Tom Selleck knock-offs.
Erin, I think that (oddly enough) goes in Natter.
Need. More. Coffee.
Eh, time to go watch fencing anyway.
stash of porn in the woods
It amazes me the places people stash their porn.
Thank you all so much for your kind words and advice - mostly you, JZ.

No. They pretty much did everything written here: [link] and that's it. (In a funny note, my mom referred to the carbogen inhalations as Zyklon B. I laughed and laughed).
