I found out my ex was cheating when I was 8 months pregnant. I locked down emotionally and decided I could stick it out for two years, instead of taking my toddler and soon-to-be-newborn and trying to manage on my own. I was a SAHM so I frankly needed that financial security.

I use my daily in the gym. They’ve never fallen out of my ears.

Yeah, and then what I see a normal person doing is laughing and refusing.

Idk I can see how some (mostly) normal people could get sucked in. Like, you’re single and your friend convinces you to put in an application, you go ahead and do it, because what are the odds, then they actually call you? I could see that happening.

“Peter, if we’ll recall, said on Rachel’s season that he wanted to be with her but refused to propose, because he’s a normal person who wasn’t ready for that kind of commitment after like four dates.”

I had basically that same conversation with myself ~20 years ago while I was pulling the still-burning bodies out of a crashed 747. Seeing the few surviving children taken to the hospital, knowing they’d live a “blessed” life with 80% of their body covered in burn scars and no parents......

Seeing “god” at his/her/its…

“God’s got this.”

That is a very timely joke.

He is just ruthless.

How do you look at that slimy, used car salesman face and not immediately know he’s a con man? I just don’t get religious folks. I don’t get how they can be so naive that they keep falling for scam artists like him.

Related issue: I’m a firefighter and current-model airpacks have what’s called a PASS alarm—stop moving (walking, crawling, climbing stairs) for more than 60 seconds or so and it starts to make a progressively louder noise. Idea is that if you get pinned or trapped somewhere, you can be easily found.
