Woman: Get out of my house! Stop murdering my family!
Bill Maher: I must slap this woman who is clearly at fault
She's crazy! This woman is hysterical for no reason!
I also constantly think of scenarios, where I have to hit a woman, because I'm completely normal, and not deranged at all.
I simply would not stop a woman trying to kill him.
Yeah if a woman is trying to kill Bill Maher I've got to assume she's justified
If I've seen a woman trying to kill him, then no I haven't.
Twisting a lock of my hair coquettishly
"...and you say you want to kill him, that's so interesting"
You know, I got curious and
Regarding marriage, Maher is quoted on his website as saying, "I'm the last of my guy friends to have never gotten married, and their wives—they don't want them playing with me. I'm like the escaped slave—I bring news of freedom."
He also has dated a woman who stated he abused her (the lawsuit against him was dismissed as it was 'he said she said') and a woman who was 25 at the time when he was in his 50s
Bill Maher is a social experiment to see just how right wing you can be while still having Americans consider you to be "on the left."
Apparently pretty fucking right wing considering a few weeks ago he was like "I met Trump in person and he's actually kinda chill."
Probably gonna describe himself as classically liberal.
I thought he already did that?
I think he's the guy who invented calling yourself that while becoming increasingly right wing
And much like how every other man has a "crazy girlfriend" story, the truth is usually a long history of neglect and abuse until the woman has enough and fights back the only way she can
Or like, actual unchecked mental illness. My last relationship ended because she wouldn't help herself. It took me a couple of years to realize that she was having problems, and I wasn't equipped to handle it in my early twenties, so it festered. It got so bad that toward the end, she was unrecognizable as the person I first started dating. I don't see a situation where even if she got help that we would have stayed together though.
She found new and interesting ways to hurt me as time went on, and then when I ended it, she couldn't accept it, and kind of harassed me for a while. I mean, she had (at least) an emotional affair complete with dirty texts. I don't see how she had trouble understanding that wasn't going to work with us.
She saw me at a concert months later with the person I ended up marrying and I think she got the picture that I was moved on. She hastily married someone she met at community college, likely because he needed a way to stay in the country legally.
That's the closest thing to a "crazy ex" story I have, and as time softens the wounds I realize she was just a troubled person who was too headstrong to admit she needed help. I have no interest in reaching out, but I genuinely hope she's doing better out there.
The least we can do is give others grace when the pain goes away.
That's real. I've had two ex's with serious mental health issues and most of my friends thought they were "crazy", but they really just needed medication or therapy or for capitalism to die. One of my most recent ex's had some severe mental health issues and depression. Ended up not working out for various reasons.
Sometimes I feel bad when I recount stories from that relationship, because they sound like "crazy ex" stories, but I do think some are funny. One time she wanted to very seriously break up with me because I chose a film for us to watch which I thought she'd like but that she hated because she found it to be too "petit bourgeois". She said she couldn't understand how she could love someone who liked that film. She was a radlib ”commie" by the way, but just really funny shit like that. She wanted to fucking dump me because my film taste was too lib. She told me later she was just upset that we watched that instead of what she wanted to watch with me, but she thought I wouldn't like it so didn't propose it. We ended up watching it later and I really liked it as usual.
Hindsight can make those stories into something we can chuckle about but going through it in the moment is tough. Unfortunately I don't really have any of those "it's funny now" stories about my last ex.
I've never dated a real commie or radlib type. My wife has good opinions but isn't plugged in, and I envy her for it. I always wanted to date someone who was on my level politically. My last ex was what we would call a turbolib now. She meant well, but like most of her actions, they never amounted to anything tangible. She would go to the protest, but she wasn't interested in getting organized beyond that.
It took me a couple of years to realize that she was having problems, and I wasn't equipped to handle it in my early twenties, so it festered.
This is why I avoid asking anyone out ever. I've got many problems and I can't solve them, I'd rather not burden anyone so I find it best to be lonely.
Time is a good therapist. I think the pros outweigh the cons in these situations. There are plenty of people out there that do have the tools to be a good support system for people who need a little extra.
I had to come to grips with my depression and a few other issues during my marriage. It's made me a better person, and it forced me to put the work in. I did it for me, but I really did it for her. I love her so much and as cliche as it is, she makes me want to be a better person all the time. It didn't happen overnight but I feel like I'm always making progress.
Don't sell yourself short. You deserve to love and be loved

Idk, I just feel incapable of it, I'm so far behind what is "normal" on that front that I feel like an aberration.
I don't fit in with "normal society" either. You just have to find the others.
I'm not trying to be pushy or preachy, I just think anyone wanting to experience love should go for it. there are all kinds of people out there. Chances are there are a lot of people that feel the way you do, or people who are naturally good at lifting people like you up.
obviously the creepy sexism is the real issue here but also, man you are WAY too old to start using "u"
My mother has been an avid reader her whole life started texting like that, but worse. Lots of misspellings and general weirdness. She used to be pretty eloquent in a text. I blame the internet.
I just managed to forget how to use commas and write in complete sentences. Over text, in formal writing I'm usually present enough to catch those things.
Shit you get 140 characters and we know you defaulted to autocorrect.
Didn't his brand of centrism or libertarian just get absorbed into MAGA? Why is he pretending otherwise?
He loves what trump is doing in gaza.
his bigoted views are pretty standard for boomer libs. most democratic voters over the age of 50 are like this
2014 but Jesus Christ
These fuckers just can't help themselves. Wow. 
Hey did this boomer reach his I HATE MY WIFE quota for the day? Ait now go back to licking Trump's boots
He is, unbelievably, too misogynistic to have a wife.
I started typing up a thing where I explain how this tweet doesn’t even make sense but I’m just grossed out too much, I hope Bill chokes on a ham sandwich and dies.
There are lots of evil people in this world, people I wish would disappear and we would be much better off. There’s terrible people who revel in increasing the suffering of others that I wish would get a swift boot to the face and a brain-altering shock.
But no one alive today attracts my ire, my deepest loathing, my searing hate more than billy boy here. He’s like a smug liberal version of Joe Rogan. Just a completely unempathetic connoisseur of his own flatulence. And worst of all, he actually thinks he’s funny. Even my most lib supreme family members who agree with 99% of what billy says, still hate him because he’s so inhospitable and unfunny.
