As someone who literally checked her V card in this year, don’t let someone else ruin sex for you. You’re not supposed to be perfect and don’t have to live up to anyone’s standards. It is a privilege for them to be with you in an intimate moment. Even if it’s smacking your noggin on a headboard, tripping over the cat…

I really like the look of the gradient thread also. Where did you find it?

Maybe she did wait 6 weeks? I’ve had several long-term relationships & sometimes I’ve waited & sometimes I haven’t. Waiting to have sex is not an indicator of whether or not things will work out.

I have no idea how old you are, but I too was raised in a conservative religious household, and I lost my virginity several years later than my peers. It’s an anxious game trying to catch up! Guy sounds like a douche bag, so ya dodged a bullet there. But from one escaped religious conservative to another, as you get…

Oh, can I share, too?

Darling, you’ve gotta have a voice in your head that drowns out all the d-bags, and it says, I am right! You can be a virgin, a “whore”, a kinky person, a vanilla person, straight gay bi trans, whatever, and someone somewhere is always going to think you’re wrong. Sex is a thing that belongs to you. You design it how…

What are we eating/cooking today?

But it’s also true! Sex with a new partner the first time, more times than not, is super awkward and not great. It takes a few tries to get in the rhythm. If someone breaks up with you after the first time, they clearly are either super inexperience and immature. Or looking for an excuse to get out of the…

I’ll admit, the whole “borderline apocalyptic threadworm infestation” thing made me laugh for the first time today. Thank you.

My two cents is that you have no idea what’s going on in his head. Maybe he’s not over a previous relationship, maybe he’s gay, maybe he’s got an intermittent and borderline apocalyptic threadworm infestation and he had to clench his arse cheeks the whole time you were having sex the last time in case they spooled out…

I would talk to some of your friends for starters.

HOLY FUCKBALLS, Congrats!!!! That’s amazing, and London is great. You should be super proud of yourself!

Ugh. I’ll go out on a limb and guess that a guy who breaks up with you because the sex wasn’t good the very first time that you did it is either: a) young, b) inexperienced, c) hung up on someone else, or d) some combination of these things.

Can I share my silly cat toy craft story? I saw a story about a kitten who loves to play with pom poms. I thought that’s so cute! So I made my cat a pom pom. We could be internet famous! I told him. He has zero interest in the pom pom.

“All I know is this: I am almost 100% certain, that at some point in his life, L will rape someone.”

The second one says “Veritas ____?” I can’t read the pattern well.

I GOT INTO GRAD SCHOOL HOLY SHIT I’M GOING TO LONDON IN SEPTEMBER!!!!

Got some pretty shitty news yesterday. My boss has suddenly decided to retire so as of May 1 I’m out of a job. I’m in the middle of adopting my daughter back, buying my first home and getting married in less than a month. I have no college degree and I really lucked into this job. So...good vibes appreciated.…

Ugh. Venting time.
