    17 years ago I broke off an engagement. flew home & never saw him again. called my dad to pick me up at the airport no questions asked (he did). called the firm I wanted to work at & asked them to reopen the offer I had declined (they did). met my husband <2 months later…
    I don't know who needs to hear this, but you can break off your engagement. You don't have to get married if you know it's not right. Even if you have sent out the invites, bought the dress, planned the ceremony, you can walk away.

    when you get a new boyfriend & immediately teach him about trademark law, a topic on which you are an expert relatable tbh
    Travis Kelce has filed 5 new trademarks: 1. TRAVIS KELCE 2. KILLATRAV 3. ALRIGHT NAH 4. FLIGHT 87 5. KELCE'S KRUNCH The filings claim that Taylor's boyfriend will use the trademarks to offer pins, posters, bobbleheads, clothing, and even a cereal. #TravisKelce #TaylorSwift

    is mike richards the next trebek? clearly no. but is he a fan favorite who will do a passable job hosting jeopardy? also no. is he at least a good guy? uhh, turns out no. ok but can we say he won this job fair & square? unfortunately no we cannot say that either
    Last week Mike Richards wrote that lawsuits from The Price Is Right didn’t “reflect the reality of who I am.” I went looking for who he is, talking to current and former colleagues and listening to a podcast he hosted at Price. What I found was troubling. theringer.com/tv/2021/8/18/2…

    I loved my ex so even though I was miserable, even though we wanted different things, even though the future we’d have together didn’t seem like one that would make me happy, i thought I couldn’t end it extremely cheesy but “sometimes love just ain’t enough” was my revelation

    ok fine one photo anyway I’ll just echo the person I QT’d—just because you said yes (or proposed) doesn’t mean you can’t change your mind about one of the biggest decisions of your life
