More quotes by Emily Yoffe
I'm wondering how someone who goes around wearing a wedding ring succeeded in the dating pool. Normally a wedding ring sends a flashing Do Not Enter message - except to those looking for flings with married people.

Each week I am forced to revise my original opinion that Facebook is a great innovation for keeping people in touch, to believing that it is merely a canvas for members to act out strange, unresolved conflicts and desires.

Sometimes people back themselves into corners where they think they have to make kind of an engraved-in-stone decision.

I think it's helpful for kids to know that their parents weren't perfect, that they messed up and learned from their mistakes. So be open about some of your own struggles or express gratitude that your kids are taking advantage of the opportunities they have instead of squandering many of them, the way you did.

Anyone who marries gets no guarantee that their partner, no matter what they vow, will always keep that promise.

Polygamy has an ancient history and is legal in many parts of the world. I find the rules of polygamy to be damaging and it's potentially dangerous to young girls and terrible for excess boys. But polyamory is supposed to be a more equal arrangement among agreeing adults.

The biggest problem is that people want to tell the whole story, and they write letters that are way longer than anything I could possibly run.

When people are really drunk they have a propensity to harm themselves and others - they fall off buildings, they drive into other cars.
