About the first letter, I don't get how a "driven, hardworking, loving and happy" boyfriend turns into a lazy, hateful, selfish wanker overnight. On the WEDDING night. That just don't happen, do it? Something doesn't smell right.

Gawd this one depressed me. Time to break out the bottle...

Hey Vag, he might have more reason to get sober if you dumped him. As it is, you're enabling him. Ever considered looking into Al-Anon or some help group? Your situation can be so lonely, finding others in your situation (including the same situation a few years down the road, plus a kid or two) might help.

I pray you're using birth control. You might not want to DTMFA, but at least you CAN. Have a kid and you'll wish you had.

Nobody dresses down an entitled douchebag like Dan Savage. Great column.

@5, no way in hell is Stephen King a misogynist. What book(s) are you referring to?

If you knew more about him, I think you'd admire him. He adores his wife, is really funny and holy shit, is he prolific, what a work ethic! He's written a autobiography which is also edifying for writers called On Writing. A great read whether you're a writer or not.

@6, He's not blaming alcohol, he's blaming being an alcoholic.

"It was self-pity. And it's fuel was alcohol."

This is very sad. Hope the kid manages to break the cycle. Unfortunately, the impression made during the formative years may have been the stronger one.

AARP (?), have her write you a short story. I think that's sexier than a Q & A conversation or email. If she's not into writing, get her (and you) drunk, or high (worked wonders for BONG), turn out the lights, and get her to describe what she wants while you're doing her. Bring on the dirty talk!

The Self-loathing Christian needs to make a decision--and the letter-writer needs to force his hand. Either being gay is wrong or it isn't. He can't have it both ways. This guy is like a woman in an abusive relationship who thinks she deserves to be hit. I hope the letter-writer lets us know what happens.

(Is it wrong that I was reminded of Krusty the Clown when he found out he'd never been Bar Mitzvahed? "All this time, I thought I was a self-loathing Jew, and it turns out I'm just an anti-Semite.")

'First of all, when you're apologizing to gay people, stay away from fruit analogies."

Jon Stewart provides the only way I can watch this shit without getting despondent.
