For real. If this was a story about rushing to the scene of an accident of strangers maybe it would have more impact. Of course she’ll go to her family!

Oh man, I’m so sorry. My long-term partner/ best friend and I moved out of the Midwest to a super-cool city 3 years ago. I have yet to make a single lasting friendship. He’s all I have here, so that would suck if I lost that. So while I can’t really know your pain, I understand how hard it must be.
I was close friends with someone I’d known for years who I slowly realized I was in love with. Things came to point where we laid our feelings out on the table because there was no longer any escaping the fact we were out of our heads in love with each other. I would not have been able to just stay friends with him…
No offense mercenarykitten! That “you” was directed to my imaginary invite-extender.
I would prefer to stay home and read or go on a long walk or something most people would think is hella boring. Rather than seem like a flake who always turns down invitations, I’ve just been up front about why I’m turning things down. Live music at bars? Not my thing. Dancing? Not my thing. Dumb comedy movies? Not my…
The fakest person I ever met did her faking soooo earnestly it was almost undetectable. She was trying to do everything RIGHT and worked so hard at being “proper brunch-scheduling adult” at 24 years old, that it always felt off. Once, she had me over saying she wanted to make margaritas and that hers were really good.…
Fuck all these comments— is everyone being a contradictory jerk today just for the sake of it? I get what you’re saying because I’m the same way. However, I did just recently try to get over my weird social anxieties and read at a bar while waiting for my partner to get off work. It was empty but started filling up…
It’s already started happening. Mostly in having child sex rings in your plot. See: True Detective S1, Top of the Lake, and Bates Motel.
I got maybe halfway through the first season of this show before the fucked up sex shit and raping became too disgusting to continue. It’s totally exploitative.
The idea that people can pick and choose what they feel is deeply embedded in the anti-LGBT movement. It’s a harmful idea, and I don’t think entirely inappropriate to this conversation about emotions and relationships.
Isn’t that exactly what I said? I said we have no control over what we feel but how we act on those feelings. Your example of a temper-tantrum is a behavior, not an feeling. Anger-management works to control a behavior that comes from a feeling you didn’t choose to have. We’re in agreement here.
Yessssss. Some of the most intimate, deeply-connected moments of my life were sitting on the couch getting high with my partner and talking about our relationship.
What you just described and what I described and what everyone else in this thread is describing are very different situations in our private relationships. Which is exactly why you shouldn’t try to blanket all forms of “cheating” in the manner you did.
So very much agree with you. Waaaah he put his penis into a different vagina everything we built over a decade is worthless now waaaaah. That’s disgusting and I don’t want to ever have to deal with it, but making cheating a cut-off point for my relationship really cheapens what we are together.
Oh come on. I “cheated” on all my high school boyfriends because I was young and nothing was permanent. Was it selfish? Sure. But saying it’s some form of emotional abuse and comes from a place of disorder is ridiculous. I’ve now been with my current partner for more than 7 years. Cheating on him is something I don’t…
Hold up. “Allow yourself to feel the feelings”? What world do you live in where people *choose* what they feel? Are you a robot? Or are you the same type of person who thinks that gay people should “allow” themselves to feel feelings for the opposite sex and that they just won’t?
Lol, okay, way to simplify. I truly believe that shit happens, and cheating is sort of an inevitability in any long-term relationship, even in a minor form. I know my partner well enough to recognize in our 7+ year span together two women he was attracted to, and I’m sure he’s seen that in me as well. I mean, that’s…
I’d had a best friend from 3rd grade, and along the way, we became great friends with two other girls. At the end of high school, they all pretty much stopped talking to me. BF stopped answering my calls. Saw her and her boyfriend, and he screamed “Why don’t you just leave us alone.” I was completely baffled, and to…
I had a backyard wedding to Nick Carter when I was younger and BSB was still cool. I also named my favorite Pokemon Nick Carter. Oh, youth. Simple, simple youth.
Yeah, I first saw it as a screenshot of a screenshot of a Facebook post.
