So Heather Havrilesky (aka Polly Esther) takes a while off, gets married, knocked up, loaded up with womanly hormones, and yet is still able to pound out awesome advice like this:
So, you might guess that you’re just in a relationship that makes you a little crazy OR that you don’t know how to be soft and vulnerable and let your guard down. Could be either thing. I’ve been in crappy relationships where I couldn’t be honest and nice and vulnerable, and I’d talk to TBF about it, and talk to my therapist about it, and then I’d cry and try to really, you know, open up and be child-like, but it never worked. And why didn’t it work? Because I didn’t even LIKE my stupid boyfriend all that much, I didn’t trust him, and I didn’t fucking WANT to be vulnerable with that guy. Basically, all the “self-work” just masked the fact that he was lame and I wanted out.
So that’s one possibility. Don’t rule that one out.
Too bad her day job is sitting around watching tv. Otherwise, I’d be expecting more greatness over the maternity leave.
