he wasn’t at a place in his life where he felt like he was able to be in a relationship but he still wanted to see me and spend time with me

Yeah, unless he’s actually said the words “I want to be in a committed monogamous relationship with you” he’s just trying to play you into giving him sex without requiring any more from him. He’s hoping you’ll just give in one night cuz you’re horny and he’s there. I recommend that you go on a few dates/get busy with…

Even box tops work!

Here’s my Belle, glaring at me bc she got her nail stuck on the mat. (Don’t worry she freed herself right after I snapped the pic.)

so sorry you are going through this. If there are any other encounters, try recording them on your phone - if you are on a public street, there is no expectation of privacy, so you don’t have to get their permission to record

Cheers! Living the box life is the best.

You’d never see so many “this guy is making logical arguments, how dare you not recognize that and just call out its racism instead!” comments out of the greys on Jez.

Yeah, I think it’s unlikely he had a change of heart. Sounds like he just really wanted to keep hanging out despite not wanting anything more, and figured that if he bugged you enough, he could convince you.

Some of the comments on the Google memo debacle are giving me hives.

Today IS weird. I felt like shit all day, with constant cramps, sore boobs, nausea, dizziness... Even took a pregnancy test to make sure my mirena’s not fucking with me.

So, I talked last week about splitting with a guy I had been seeing because he gave me the classic “I’m not looking for anything serious” line. That was about two weeks ago. Last Monday he texted me telling me that he wasn’t happy about my decision and I should reconsider, that he wasn’t at a place in his life where…

Newly unemployed, so I’ve been busy, Keeps me off of the streets. :)

Why don’t you just add some flowers at the bottom? In like a swooping curve?

So, I got laid off on Thursday. After 14 years with the same company I’m out on the street. I’ve never been unemployed a day in my life. Like most of the people let go I’m an older worker. I know it’s not the end of the world, but it sucks pretty damn hard. I have no idea what I’m supposed to do know. I don’t…

Are there not enough pictures of black men committing crime to your liking?

Plus if he’s so sure that’s the case, why not post links to all these alleged Jez articles featuring white men’s photos and all the ones about non-white men where there’s no photo? If he’s so sure that’s the case, at least show us the receipts.

What do you think it says about you that you read a story about a woman and two children who’ve lived for a period of years deprived of their freedom and contact with the world around them, and your only impulse is to co-opt their suffering in service of some petty and racist trolling?

“ooh, a psycho brown person. a chance for me to fly my racist scumbag flag!”

Seems weird to give these kids to a family member. What family wouldn’t know the wife and kids are hostages in the home?
