That said, the only thing I wanted on my honeymoon was someplace pretty, not too scheduled, and lots of sexin'. #marieclarie

Employed people are not attracted to me. #marieclarie

The guy in question was 19 and a college freshman, full-time, and so no, I didn't necessarily expect him to be a freaking breadwinner yet. I saw his potential and I knew my own.
I haven't excused a damn thing, TYVM. All I've faced is prejudice (only from women I might add) about dating someone younger than me, dating someone who didn't have a job, dating someone who "couldn't provide for me".
Getting married was NOT a priority but thanks for sticking that in there. It just happened. And he asked, because I got pregnant. I told him we didn't have to.
Shouldn't we all be encouraging people to see each other's potential and help each other to be the best we can rather than snarking about guys who can't necessarily support families in their late teens/early twenties?
Oh freaking well. I guess I should just claim solidarity and never have dated anyone at all since people with jobs don't ask me out. Whatever. I choose to decide whether I'm going to date someone based on the whole package, not their wallet. #marieclarie

Besides, you don't want to sleep in hostels on your honeymoon, you want to sleep somewhere where you can have lots of sex. #marieclarie

Went on a backpacking/overnight type deal once with the xhub; was cold, rainy, and he didn't listen to the group directions, didn't bring food, forgot his sleeping mat.
When we were RUNNING down the 5 mile trail so we could buy our dinner at WALMART in 33 degree weather and sleet, I seriously thought about shoving his dumb ass of the mountain. #marieclarie

Besides, the hay was getting itchy and their tall tales were starting to wear on me. #marieclarie

It's fine to judge them for something like being selfish (if they were) or oblivious (which it definitely sounds like they were), but do you really automatically write anyone off who can afford a long trip?

There's Marie Claire who always wears pastel colored pants suits and saying things like "Sweetie, men are like [insert thing men are not like], you just have to [insert condescending passive aggressive action]. Then there's Cosmo who affectionately refers to everyone as whore and whose advice for every situation is "Whatever, stick a finger up his butt." #marieclarie

Actually, 650,000 would solve a number of my current problems. Not all of them, obviously, but it would keep my out of default on my college loans. Which would kick.
And the Capt. Obvious Award of the month goes to the woman who realizes that spending day in, day out with the same person--ANY person--for four straight months without the levening of family, friends, and outside interests will lead to prison-yard-esque fights.
Also, they really should've altered the cover lies to read: "SEXY HAIR! (That you can't have if you are shorter or fatter than Blake Lively or else you will look shorter and fatter and people will laugh at you)
and:

... men are no longer pressured into becoming providers because, these days, more women can take on that role.
I feel like this warrants some attention. Are we allowing men to move from being taken care of by their mothers to being taken care of by our hard work?? Could that be one reason why men reported being happier in that recent study? AND WHY IS IT ALWAYS OUR FAULT?? #marieclarie

Yes.
