That's nice. I think people have calmed about these two, especially after Ann Marie' s book came out.

[nomoneyfun]

Oh wow. This is important female bum representation, I'll give her that

[jemgirl90]

She only froze her eggs to not feel left out of her friend group.

Said she didn't want to have a son because he would be a boy and she didn't think she could love a male.

Never follows up on her Dr saying they think she has BPD.

Thinks it's unreasonable that people she borrowed money from don't want haircuts she offers instead of their money back.

I liked that I learned the term Learned helplessness from the discourse.

Oh...dear

[notebook_attire]

Eh, there’s context surrounding the above info

[orange_jelly23]

as a psychologist, she definitely definitely has BPD lol, very obvious from the book

[notebook_attire]

I’m sure she will take that under advisement and not the guidance of her existing mental healthcare team that seems to refute said diagnoses.

The part that gets me is that she went to a rehab program specializing in substance abuse (because it’s the only all women’s center she can find), even though she is (A) not a drug addict/alcoholic and (B) clearly really angry with her addict husband and projecting that onto the women around her. Then proceeds to be weird and judgmental about the people there.

[feelingcold]

The part where she rages against addicts in her mind while in group at a rehab center is a lot.

"Said she didn't want to have a son because he would be a boy and she didn't think she could love a male."

wtf

just make your child be a better person than most males, like fuck.... what a moron

This is not a defense of Anna Marie or her weird POV on not being able to love a son, but it is very hard to raise a feminist boy in a patriarchal world. From radicalization online to IRL bullying of boys who don't conform to misogynistic behaviors, instilling feminist values in boys is challenging because there are numerous sexist attitudes and behaviors that are encouraged outside of the home. This doesn't mean parents shouldn't be active in instilling those values, but it needs constant reinforcement.

No one wanted money back- she suggested she pay him back assuming he would refuse and when he said okay she had to tell him she didn't have the money to actually do it. He suggested the haircuts and she did a couple and then told him she didn't want to do it and he was fine with it.

[jemgirl90]

she suggested she pay him back assuming he would refuse

Why bring it up at all then?

didn't have the money to actually do it

He suggested the haircuts and she did a couple and then told him she didn't want to do it and he was fine with it.

Why does she stop the haircuts?

So she just never pays back money she borrows.

To be fair, I haven't gotten the book from the library yet,but this explanation seems like shes a user to me.

People are still mad at fictional Carrie Bradshaw for being mean to Charlotte about not offering money.

It's better to be kind than nice,never assume and I may make an ONTD original on this book.

In the book it's clear she's incredibly self conscious about how she's coming across to his rich friends. His female friends gossip about her and call her a gold digger. She wants to prove them wrong by always paying her own way when she clearly can not afford it. She's a student who works part time at a minimum wage job and during their relationship Ricky goes from average well off college student to someone worth 25mil.

He comes across as oblivious to the power imbalance. She's too embarrassed to discuss it outside of offering things she can't follow through on and then resenting him.

[bttrsondaughter]

a lot of what people are saying up top but some people felt disillusioned by her. kind of just having rich boyfriends who kind of just. paid her way so she could like indulge in whatever art she found interesting and she dropped pretty much everything she was good at bc she got bored with it. and there’s nothing wrong with that but there wasn’t a lot of introspection about it.

idk! a lot of very “ugh men are awful” and not really digging deeper into it than that

[naturesluzzer]

The reactions to that book gave me some schadenfreude ngl. She turned out to be exactly the sort of person I thought she was.
