I used to be a huge touchy-hugging person. And, then I got MS. And, now, a LOT of the time hugging hurts me. My younger son gets it. He gives me air hugs. My older son though, I try to remind him and he always acts like I’ve just slapped him in the face. And, I don’t stop all hugs, even though often I would like to.…

So, I found out a year ago I have multiple sclerosis. My nerves don’t work like they are supposed to. I have a lovely husband who used to enjoy an awesome sex life. Then, my libido was shot. I wanted to want him. I just didn’t. Then, sex either hurt or I couldn’t feel it, at all. On a “good” day it doesn’t hurt and…

Only barely related, but when we were engaged, Mr Pigeon said he would be cool with combining, NOT hyphenating our last names. With a grin, he told me how they would be combined. And, basically our last name would be “LargeDick” We did not go with that. I took his last name, because I was eager to separate myself from…

I was wondering when I’d see this here. While I think the whole thing is completely gross, creepy and inappropriate, it’s not the whole problem. As someone who grew up in fundamentalist/fanatical Christian purity culture, the problem is this becomes NORMAL. I promise you, there are a crap ton of parents out there…

I was a young, single mom who had just left an abusive marriage with 2 little boys. We lived off $12,000/yr for awhile. I worked a lot, 3 jobs at times, but all part-time/seasonal. I went to school full time on top of that. Many nights the bedtime story was me reading my history book to them. I remember crying while I…

Awhile back I had a cookout and invited a friend who was Muslim. I didn’t realize it was Ramadan, but she wanted to come hang out anyway. And, then my family showed up. They probably would have been racist assholes anyway, but then they wanted to know why she wasn’t eating, and she was too skinny, and blah, blah,…

My ex-husband is ALL about redneck racist pride. I’ve tried to point out he lives in Indiana. He’s not a good ol’ boy. And, he argues, because he was born, (and adopted out of) Arkansas he is a southerner, so, its about “heritage, not hate”. Never mind the fact that his biological parents were from Michigan, and his…

I don’t know how my husband got so wise, but I freak out when anything changes. Like, he’s going to think I tricked him into marrying me or something. The fact we are even married at all was a big change, we both were not going to get married. He didn’t want kids (has 2 pre-teen step kids) I thought I’d be willing to…

I haven’t tried Brooks, haven’t liked a pair of Nike in 10 yrs or so. But, I love me some Asics. I’ve lost 60 pounds, mainly through walking, running and Zumba, and those Asics have been great. I currently own 3 pairs so I can switch them out and not put to much wear on a pair.

I tried to argue for awhile I didn’t have a type. Then, my ex-husband came to visit our kids in our new neighborhood, and he stood outside talking to my husband. The new neighbors assumed they were brothers. My kids look exactly like their father. And, their step-father. When I was single my brothers would joke they…

Agreed, I totally would

My husband was 7th Day Adventist when we met and I was agnostic. I asked a LOT of questions, partially because I didn’t understand a lot of the religion and partially because he was one of the only people I could question who didn’t get mad at me and feel attacked. Many of my questions centered around basically what…

I made sweet and spicy chicken. Mr. Pigeons loved it, Mini and Jr Pigeons we less than thrilled.

I keep a slice of bread in with the brown sugar, it helps keep it soft.

My husband’s mother is extremely toxic. She was horrible when she found out we were getting married. My parents are mentally/emotionally abusive, and throw on a side of physical abuse from my father as well. We got engaged, and within a week, all three parents had already made us miserable about the idea of a wedding.…

Can I finally tell how I met my husband? Awesome. We were both on Adult Friend Finder. He messaged me for a few months, and I ignored him because I had a good thing going with a married man in an open relationship. He was seeing another woman. One day she says “Oh, I don’t have to rush home, hubby is with…
