None of us know what provoked that fight. If he isn't pressing charges, it's probably with good reason and his personal decision.
However - the entire "Beyonce isn't the kind of woman who would stand for being abused" argument that I've read over and over on the boards the past few days is really fucking insulting. No woman just "stands for being abused" and you saying that repeatedly is really fucking assholish because you're implying that women in domestic violence situations are weaklings who have somehow chosen that environment.
Goddamn it.

I wish my kid was more into pop music. I am so fucking annoyed by his toddler song cd's.
My two yo knows the words to Jolene. It's all about what you let them listen to. I mean, who doesn't like to hear a two yo say, "I'm begging of you please don't take my man."
I really need everyone to tell me when the 2014 Song of Summer starts getting huge. I missed out on the Blurred Lines lovefest last year and I don't want to miss out on the love fest this year.
TYVM.

I consider myself to be a pretty strong person. I stand up for myself and speak my mind. However, that did not exclude me from being in an abusive relationship. Manipulation and mindfuckery are very complex things.

Iggy Azalea - Fancy and Ariana Grande - Problem (feat. Iggy Azalea) are two pretty strong contenders, I think. Unless somebody drops hot a new single in the next couple weeks, it's probably one of them.
Oh and I didn't post that for pity or anything. I just was saying - here we have a person that the majority of you interact with (myself) and I am pretty outspoken and rarely back down from an argument and I'm not above being a victim.
It was a long time ago and I'm completely over it. But thank you @rondackhiker.
And it didn't sound like you were trying for sympathy, but I wanted to respond in some way and couldn't think of a way to word things better than offering hugs. You are strong and it's amazing of you to share that and try to teach people more about the cycle.
I was in an emotionally abusive relationship in high school and college. It was so fucked and I still get so angry thinking about it. I was 16-20 and obviously not in the same headspace that I am now. Anyone can be in a place in life when they get abused.
I'm not in the place now and I don't think I'll ever find myself in an abusive relationship again because I learned a lot from it.
Also.
I want to fly to Boston and shit on his parents' front yard.
The serious discussions here are harshing the #tbt UO's mellow.

The video of the cat going after the dog gives me a lot of feels.
First, it reminds me of my old cat who'd take on dogs for fun so I'm sad.
Second, the boy reminds me of DS and I feel sick.
Third, that dog scares me. I have never seen an attack like that. Ever. The look on his face, the locking onto the child, not letting go, trying to circle back around after initially jumping back from the cat? Holy crap. There is something really wrong with that dog. He needs to be put down.
I don't think I'd fly into a rage and try to do it in the moment. The mom I think did... She went after him at least.
Well @mbenit4 it's kind of rude considering that it makes up 95% of my child's clothing. I don't know, I guess there are just certain opinions that I think are polite to keep to oneself.
Like if you posted a photo of yourself holding a really ugly purse, I wouldn't go out of my way to tell you that I think it's an ugly purse. In fact, even if you asked me if the purse was ugly, I would have a hard time answering you honestly.
I try to default to not offending people or hurting their feelings intentionally.
Especially when it's something so petty. It would be different if I had not literally just posted that it's my favorite clothing line, ever, and this was all random timing. Instead it feels like going out of your way to insult it is something I'm almost expected to be offended by,
Having to explain all of this multiple times throughout the thread is giving me way more feelings about children's clothing than I feel comfortable having, JFC.
I guess for me. Clothes and purses are just that clothes and purses. Me saying I don't like a brand of clothing does not reflect on all who wears it. It is just an opinion. And this is my opinion.
In this situation I don't think uconn was speaking on it to be rude or insulting towards you specifically. Again my opinion. I think anyone can see that.
So to then get another post saying "hey you saying this is rude to MBK" is reaching. Again my opinion.
I think injecting your person into an opinion about something so broad like a clothing line is your own thing. General you, not specific you. She said she didn't like the clothes. She didn't say she didn't like them cause you like them. She didn't say she didn't like your DS. She said she didn't like the clothes. Period.
I have to say I totally agree with this. Esp the bolded.
And fashion is my lyfe.

The video isn't scary or upsetting. At least not to me.
That cat is a BAMF and the little boy is ok, except for needing some stitches in his leg.

Here's my late UO: I don't understand people who have so many places they say they want to travel to before having kids. Yeah, there are some places that are better for adults only trips, and yeah, it's harder and more expensive to take kids but I love taking DD places and sharing the experiences with her. I can't wait til she's old enough to actually remember it. People act like they'll never be able to travel again for the rest of their life.

Also in most cases the victim doesn't press assault charges the state does.
Boats make me sick too, but the train isn't that bad.
Except if you have to take the A train. If you do, you have my sorries.

If you do and you need to be bailed out, send me a message. I'm just a few hours from there.

Usually I can see where the dog hinted at being upset or there were other issues that led to the attack, but this dog... No. He needs to die.
