She said he said that in relation to her illnesses, but I reckon it was more likely in response to her SM behaviour. I can't imagine illness would trigger a comment like that (exhibit A: he has chosen to be with Bianca) but I can def imagine her many behaviours on SM would prompt some comment like that. You naturally expect your spouse to be working with you, not sabotaging everything you do and everything you've worked for.
EXACTLY, SusanC. The 'for better or worse' wedding vows should not extend to a) being on social media for at least eight hours a day b) spending vast sums of his money on clothes (96 in a month, wasn't it? Please correct me if I am wrong) c) abusing said husband on social media, constantly shoving a camera in his face and hashtagging nasty comments alongside each post d) abusing alcohol and pills, and refusing to see that there is a problem e) lazing around and letting him/the nanny do all the parenting.
I, for one, don't believe that Alice has fibromyalgia or 'sero-negative' rheumatoid arthritis. I have both these conditions, the latter actually confirmed via blood tests, and I do all that I can to help myself. This includes taking the correct medications, ensuring that I have enough sleep, that I rarely get stressed (despite my hellish living situation), force myself to exercise at least five days a week to bolster my immune system, drink very little alcohol, make sure that I get enough sun exposure so that my Vitamin D levels are tip-top, and eat a healthy diet. I'm convinced that Alice had a bad perimenopause/menopause, and that she should have worked with her doctors to find the right HRT combination for her. As we women know all too well, perimenopause can trigger depression, weight gain, aches and pains and poor sleep. There's a crossover with fibro symptoms. But Alice instead went doctor-shopping until she found one that told her what she wanted to hear. (How do I know this? Because she's posted it all over the internet!!) And it's particularly egregious, because for those of us actually suffering from these invisible disabilities, it makes others less likely to believe in our plight when there's a semi-famous/infamous woman exaggerating every 'symptom' and, as I said, doctor-shopping.
Of course Ioan didn't sign up for that. He wanted a partner, not a great, lazy, self-obsessed baby.
As a menopausal woman myself, I feel I have to reply this. Roe vs Wade DOES affect me and the women I love.
I am not irrelevant as a woman or in any other way because I am passed child bearing age.
Agreed - I know what Citney means, inasmuch as nAlice can disregard Roe because she is no longer of childbearing age, and she's only interested in that which affects her directly: but yes, we women are more than our uteruses. xx
