People often recommend, Why do you ask? as a good conversation stopper. But that really doesn't end the conversation, it just leaves the other person sputtering for a response. I like, You'll be the first to know..

More quotes by Emily Yoffe
Children need adult men in their lives.
Emily Yoffe
Keep in mind that when you tell people to come see you, they might not get the idea about when it's time to leave.
Emily Yoffe
When you expand the definition of marriage beyond one man and one woman, society can expect other consenting adults in other configurations to say that their choices deserve recognition.
Emily Yoffe
I counseled a 75-year-old married, bi-sexual man who was having a gay affair and was not having sex with his wife to continue his secret life because that seemed like the kindest thing to do. But a young woman embarking on married life, hoping to start a family with her husband, needs to at least know he's already living a double life.
Emily Yoffe
If you think a caregiver has an active substance abuse problem, that person should never be entrusted with your child.
Emily Yoffe
When people are really drunk they have a propensity to harm themselves and others - they fall off buildings, they drive into other cars.
Emily Yoffe
Anyone who marries gets no guarantee that their partner, no matter what they vow, will always keep that promise.
Emily Yoffe
The only solution seems to be for government to toughen the vaccination laws and close the loopholes that allow people to opt out for philosophical and so-called religious reasons. The laws need to make clear: no shot, no school.
Emily Yoffe
I marvel with distress that in 2015 we are fighting the vaccination wars. It is deeply disturbing that people who should be able to weigh discredited so-called studies instead believe garbage, and so are willing to endanger their children and others. I sincerely hope this madness burns itself out before a lot more people get hurt.
Emily Yoffe
Once an affair is over, the cheaters need to agree not to see each other anymore in order to reestablish trust with their spouses.
Emily Yoffe
If you look at books that describe the 16 personality types, you can see how different they are from each other.
Emily Yoffe
I do feel haunted by some of the letters and the suffering people have endured. But I keep in mind that the people who write to me know that I am a journalist and an on-line advice columnist, not a social service professional.
Emily Yoffe
I know this is awkward, but when you laugh after almost everything you say, it ends up undermining you.
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.
Emily Yoffe
Unless you work at the Republican National Committee or some other conservatively affiliated organization, people's personal political preferences should not be a criterion for employment or comfort in the workplace.
Emily Yoffe
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.

Аs I've mentioned many times, sitting through graduation ceremonies is one of life's drearier milestones.
Emily Yoffe
Not many people could juggle graduate school and two jobs.
Emily Yoffe
Sometimes people have a wild past because they have an essentially wild nature, and that's how they plan to go through life. Sometimes such people settle into happy monogamy, and can be content there because they never have to wonder, What did I miss?
Emily Yoffe
You may think you're married to a woman, but she's really an overgrown child.
