Helpful Hint

If someone you know is going through a rough patch in their relationship DO NOT suggest that their fortune cookie means they'll find the person of their dreams three months from now. It makes you look like an insensitive ass and makes the heartbroken person more heartbroken.

  1. wait, heartbroken or rough patch? Either way, just remember, this too shall pass. I hate when I remember that in the good patches, but sometimes it's the only thing to keep hope. Whatever is bad won't last. Doesn't mean the relationship will or won't, but that what you're going through will change.

  2. Yeah people rarely seem to say the right thing. I guess they try their best but it's often better to say nothing!

  4. true fortune cookie story: the first time my dad got visitation post-separation/pre divorce he took me and my brother to a chinese restaurant. fortune cookie: "you will have a long happy married life with your wife." no. lie. fortune cookies are torturous.
