I have a history of a wandering eye that I have not acted on in my current relationship of several years. Whenever I think about how great it would be to sleep with someone else, I think of the multitude of consequences and realize that it's really and truly not worth it. On the other hand, some people are into open relationships with a lot of ground rules -- maybe that can be an option for you. [ Reply | More

[ - ] A good friend blew off my birthday dinner last night. She confirmed she was coming 30 mins before then texted 45 minutes later that she was getting out of the shower, then never showed up. She is broke and maybe didn't want to pay for dinner. She hasn't called or texted to apologize for not showing up and I am wondering what to do? Do I text some snarky message to her, like thanks for being there yesterday or what? I like hanging out with her generally. FYI I posted about this last night but had to log off. 14 Replies [ Reply | Watch | More

I'm sorry. Do you not indulge like 99% of people in NY in inviting your friends out to dinner to celebrate your birthday? My friends aren't going to organize it for me cause I guess I'm not THAT cool, but I still feel like after going to everyone else's similar parties during the course of the year that yeah, its ok for me to invite my friends to come out to dinner with me on my birthday. They all do the same thing. And yes I did invite this friend who'm I've supported and been there for, lent money to and hosted at my house, to come out and pay for her dinner and part of mine. I know that awful right? [ Reply | More

I didn't know that once you get above a certain age you don't invite your friends to come celebrate your birthday unless you are paying for the whole thing.

My friends and I do the same thing - when we go out for someone's birthday, we all pay our own way and pitch in for the birthday girl. Usually someone other than the bday girl will make the reservation and sometimes send out the email invite, but not always. None of us can afford to foot the entire bill for our birthday dinners. As for your friend - I think it was shitty of her to blow you off, but if she is as broke as you say, she may have been too embarrassed to say she could not afford to come (especially if you picked an expensive place) [ Reply | More
