Yes, a lot of parents are assholes. But you know what? A lot of people are assholes; some of them happen to have kids, some don’t. I can’t speak for all parents, and I wouldn’t want to try. But speaking as one particular person with kids, here’s what I wish my childfree friends would understand…

How do you deal with feeling lonely; are you okay with having alone time?

The thing is, when you fight with your partner, it’s your amygdala that takes over. It's the part of the brain that processes fear, and it’s powerful.

In a marriage, should you really feel lonely that much of the time? And if so, then how lonely is too lonely?

Can’t calm down, won’t calm down.

Marriage isn’t a game. But playing one can actually help strengthen it. So, game on!

Never ask a Libra where they want to go for dinner.
