Thank you for that information. 

Which would explain his confusion. 

He can absolutely be married and gay. 

I didn’t realize this was a local company. I do know I used to go to their seconds store when my kids were little (25+ years ag0). Their whole aesthetic is super-white Scandinavian. Even then I felt kind of weird dressing my not-so-white kids in those clothes.

In other words, this does not shock me in the very least.

They have some good attorneys. In the documentary their voices were blurred and they were animated characters.

I haven’t but I may have to check that out. It actually sounds a lot like something my ex would say.

And then he’d call back in a day or two and beg me to come back.

Nazi!

And then we have stories like this, who the fuck would ever want to come forward and risk, ultimately, their life?

One of the most depressing things about this is how many girls experience(d) this and we’ll never even know.

Haha! It’s funny, one of the guys was wealthy (not Elon Musk-wealthy, but compared to my state salary-wealthy), and it was amazing how insidious that money could be in our relationship. It was a whole other power structure.

As my Mama always said, “Marry a man for money and you’ll have the hardest job in the world.”

I’ve been in some relationships where the guys seem open-minded at first and willing to really hear and learn about sexism/racism/etc, but it turns out to be a limited time thing. Like after awhile they revert back to their original belief systems and become resentful of having to care about injustice.
I’ve ended at…

I think it was clear she wasn’t gladly with him. It sounds like she had misgivings about his words early on. Yes, she stayed. For a while. But she left now, so I’d say her feathers are unique to her.
(that is a dumb statement, though)

Yeah, my cute, entertaining behavior became less and less fun and downright irresponsible and horrifying as I got older. Thank God I finally got diagnosed and on the proper medication when I was in my 30's.
Best to you and your brother. 

It sometimes bothers met that my Dad was a member of the NRA, but then I remember it was a different beast back then. He passed away in the early 80's, so I like to tell myself he would have seen the light by now. (I don’t always necessarily believe it, but I like to tell myself that anyway!)

I am a bit skeptical about the afterlife, but your post made me hopeful.

I am so excited about psilocybin becoming legal! I just started microdosing before the pandemic, and of course now I can’t find anything.

I have facebook, but I don’t know anyone that would post those kind of things. I’m sure they’re out there, though. 

Stories like this are why I was so scared when I had boys. Turns out, if you raise them to respect women and themselves, and teach them about accountability, they don’t turn out to be rapist assholes.

Good luck to you and your child. I think you’ll both be fine. 

Are we watching the same show? I think she has a serious coke (adderal) habit and it makes her a cranky bitch. I’d say the same thing if she was dude, but I might call him an asshole instead of a bitch.
