NoJustNo

OMG-they don't need experts-they need people who have managed to stay in long healthy marriages. If your husband is insecure about losing-don't play with him and def. don't rub your winning in his face. Nobody likes that-esp. not a guy who needs to be King. It's emasculating. Not that Shelia needs to lie or pretend to lose-but don't be like that. It's not a competition. Good grief. My H would call himself a feminist and I'm a trial attorney who is almost as strong as he is. But if I have any issue opening a can and he happens to be home-I get him to come open it. He likes to do it-it makes him happy. And if we both couldn't get a can open and then I somehow did-I would never brag about it. No one likes to lose. I might be competitive with other men and friends but never my spouse. And def. not anyone who clearly needs to work on their losing skills. And while they are some things are 'unforgivable' -saying that you want a divorce isn't one. Esp. in the beg. Of course that's what they say. Is there a married couple who didn't get in a fight in the beg. and say some crap about not wanting to be married? We did-until another married couple said that you never drop the d word. because then it starts to seem like an option. Was it crappy-yes. But good grief-put your big girl panties on and tell him what a dumb thing that was to say-too easy and a low blow. And move on. And Danielle- let me tell you what you don't want in the labor and delivery room- a stereotypical "manly man." Or to care for you if you get sick. You want a friend, a co-conspirator, a guy who can say "omg! i'm scared too." Although, he needs to grow a pair and be himself and not do some crap because she wants him to-which is what she wants anyway. Someone who will tell her that if she wants to someone to eat fish eyes-she's welcome to eat them herself.

I agree 100%. I was going to say the same thing. You might be able to skate thru other graduate programs by being smart-but law school isn't one of them. And lower ranked law schools are even harder-because they are trying to keep their accreditation and their students have to pass the bar or they lose it. It is so heavily edited. Which clearly works for them-because we're all watching. hahah. Kathryn, on her twitter, said something about how a show hurt her feelings because it was edited to make her look heartless. I assume it was this one she was talking about. But they can't put words in her mouth- she said she was being "manipulative" -when clearly she wasn't-and even if she was you wouldn't dare say it.

Oh good. I thought I was just being a typical anal-retentive lawyer type.

Yes, a large part of the bar exam is handwritten. If I remember correctly a whole day is spent on the written portion. They are basically like court opinions. You will never be able to computerize legal opinions. I don't know why I am writing this-like anyone cares or will read it. haha.

Nate is such a spoiled man-boy! Shelia is just an introvert. He can't handle someone being different than him. If someone isn't the way he thinks they should be-then they are wrong/abnormal. He's in love with the idea of being married- he's not in love with her now nor will he ever be. Being around people sucks the energy out of introverts-and that's okay. He is an extrovert and gets energy from being around people she is not and needs a minute to recoup. My H is an introvert and as soon as I realized that and let him be an introvert instead of trying to get him to be like me-an extrovert- our relationship got a lot better.
