Professors, it turns out, are all over the map in their general use of and their specific interaction with their students on social media. I'll be happy to send you the slides if you want them.

Slides of the students on Spring Break? Hells yeah!

The guy who called the cops on his abusive, destructive girlfriend last week saw a heartbeat on the monitor today.

Needless to say, the only ones who are happy about this are his abused-ass and the chick he's been dating for 3 months who thinks she just hit the lottery.

And his future palimony lawyer . . .

If she's that abusive and destructive, maybe he should go for full custody so she doesn't beat on the kid.

You know, my mother told me a long time ago, that you never know what really goes on in another couple's relationship.


If he's happy and she's happy, then maybe whether or not you are happy really doesn't matter.

In general, I agree with you, but . . . I was there 5 days ago when he made a police report after she attempted to destroy all of his things in his house, after she had come home the night before drunk and drug-addled while she knew she was pregnant.

I told him he needs a therapist to help him work through things over the next 7-8 months to prepare for a child (especially since he is with someone who is so volatile under the best circumstances).

His happiness is about the absence of current pain and their agreement that, as long as he does what she says, she will stop destroying his things every other week.

As I learned last week, there are few resources or sympathy available when the abused partner in a relationship is a man.

Maybe I'm making a bad assumption, but given your general circle of friends, is this not just a guy but a rich guy who is not married to his abuser and until just now doesn't have any kids with her?

My general lack of sympathy is not because he's a guy but because he had and has the resources to get out of the relationship and no children to bind him to her.

Right now I have truckloads of sympathy for the baby if she doesn't stop drinking and drugging. If he's one of your rich friends, I hope he promises her whatever it takes -- up to and including paying her -- to lay off alcohol and drugs until after the baby is born. I've seen babies bounce back from chronic in utero cocaine dosing** but fetal alcohol syndrome is a lifelong issue.

**With lots of medical and special education intervention they caught up to normal within a couple years but doctors don't make long-term promises.

So wait, they've only been together 3 months and already all his friends hate her AND she's pregnant? Why does this feel like the plot for Saving Silverman II?

The only way out is for a good friend to become more than that, save him from this woman, obtain custody of the child, and flee to the Appalachains to hole up with dtb and her guns. Really. No one messes with dtb. It would be like mayo on pastrami.

Not care? We sent her money to abuse you. How much more caring could we be?

Let's hope they don't end up with this:
