I wonder what it was like before everyone had the internet- how did girls get advice without having to confide in her parents? How did husband get advice without having to receive biased opinions from mutual friends?

Back before the internet, here were your options:

-Friends and family

-Your women or men's magazine

-The weekly Ask Amy column in the newspaper

-A school counselor

-Encyclopedia

-Talk shows

Here was the problem. You were receiving advice from single, subjective source.

The beauty here is you can receive advice from multiple people of different gender, ethnicity and experience.

I know the internet is something to fear, but it can also be beautiful.

It's Pandoras Box. Sure, bad things surface from the internet, i.e. stalking, cyberbullying, procrastination, etc, however think of the HOPE you receive from it. You can see that there are people out there genuinely trying to give good advice. You're able to learn new recipes for your spouse with just a click of the mouse. Seeing pictures of different countries can inspire you to actually go.

A.   10 February 2012: Sounds he like used the excuse of him being drunk to get the truth out of you. If he was in fact testing you, then all he got out of it was "you're being weird and a bit ridiculous." Remain his friend and keep it as simple as that. Don't give him... (read in full...)
