Oh my god, yup this happened to me also. He had been keeping his distance and then we had to see each other over an issue about my car, he saw that I was looking hotter and happier than I’d been in years and sank his claws right back into me. Then cheated on me with a girl 10 years younger than him 4 years later.

My dog probably saved my life during my breakup. No matter what was going on, I could always crawl into bed with her and she would snuggle in tight and lick my tears. Dogs are angels on earth.

I was with my ex for almost 8 years and felt many of the things you’re feeling. It didn’t take too long after we broke up for me to realize that I had been miserable nearly the entire time we were together and that I had given up so much to be with someone who was miserable and couldn’t take care of himself, never…

Ughhhhh, that fucking blows :(

LOL you fuck, of course you knew we were going to call you on your ignorant victim-blaming bullshit BECAUSE YOU WERE IGNORANTLY BLAMING THE VICTIM.

Yup! I don’t know how many times I’ve been THISCLOSE to pumping my children, wife and dog full of bullets but then my wife serves me with a damn protective order! Those things basically create an invisible bunker around my loved ones!

*vomits in terror*

My fiancé would throw me out of the house. He hates Oasis with the fire of a thousand suns. :O

Document everything. Then tell HIM you know about his shitty fucking shenanigans and that if he doesn’t smarten the fuck up, you will show your friend/his wife EVERYTHING.

Poor pupper :( :( :( :( :( So sorry you and your family are going through this. Damn pets. Why can’t they outlive us?!

It’s so fucking hard to leave. To be the one who’s strong enough to move forward. And it sounds like he knows how to throw a tantrum to get you to stay (or at least to let him stay).

You are not fucking crazy. Splitting is never easy, but staying means accepting this for the rest of your life (or until it gets so miserable you HAVE to leave, or until he finds someone who is more tolerant ~and !!*fun*!!~ and leaves you). If you start planning to leave now, you have the upperhand, you are making…

lol ok. If you can’t even make the simple link between Trump’s bullshit and the rise of the Nazi party... go fuck yourself.

I think you’re really reaching here if your argument is that that is her ONLY strategy.

I feel like this is a good analogy: Hilary wants to renovate her house (the U.S.). She’s been talking about her new plans for the kitchen and the bathroom and how she’s gonna strip the original woodwork and refinish it.

I think she’s been forced to make it about a “certain” man, because fear is often more powerful than hope.

She’s battling fear based on both racist and misogynistic feelings. That’s a fucking doozy to contend with.

This is uhhhh.... very nice.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO…

I apologize, I misread your comment! I definitely do not expect PoC to deliberately put themselves at risk (more than you already are). I was speaking more to the idea that white allies need to do more than just wish/hope/pray for eventual justice. Again, very sorry.

Well, as an atheist, I prefer to do something about it in the real world so that we can prevent horrifying events like this.

Berated?! She was verbally and physically assaulted by someone who was shouting racial slurs.
