Replying to let you know you are not alone. I am 32 with about 6 years of recovery from bulimia and all six of my front top teeth are more or less fake (either implants or crowns). The dental stuff sucks and is often like the last piece of recovery, if you want to look at it that way. It can be a long and difficult…

A man selling me a bottle of wine in a liquor store asked me how old I was (but did not ask for ID) and when I said I was 31 he told me that middle age was fast approaching. Maybe he was trying to get me to buy more wine. 

Is this some weird approach to trolling where you take whatever insecurities were iterated in the original post and try to dig in as deeply as possibly without articulating an original idea? How would you like me to face the consequences for my “obsession with breeding?” By loving and caring for my child? I do that…

I don’t really see how this comment is productive. The child exists. My husband is half of the reason why she exists. He has the freedom to leave whenever he wants, and as for enthusiastic consent he sure seemed into it when he was fucking so like what is your point?

I have been in therapy on and off since I was a teenager, stopped going for a few months after I had the baby, and then recently started seeing someone again. Have not yet brought up this particular issue.

I am in therapy for other issues- he doesn’t believe he needs it. I have suggested it to him before. It could be worth revisiting, but time/money are a concern.

He seems to think life would have gone in a different direction if he hadn’t married/started a family with me, but the ironic thing is that he is doing exactly what he was doing when we met. Same job, we live in the same place- maybe he has less time for videogames but it’s not like he gave up a life of jetsetting and…

Talking=aruging in almost all cases. I am extremely emotional and have a hard time parsing out concrete solutions. I could try apologizing, just for the sake of keeping the peace, but he has a lot of emotional stuff he needs to work out too.

My husband and I have been having issues lately. Mostly it centers around our 8 month old and me doing the heavy lifting in that department. He constantly uses that it was “my idea” to have a baby as an excuse to shirk responsibility. He is not even a bad dad, he is great when he wants to be, but I am the one up with…

Thank you your comment helps. I know therapy is a lot of work, I have been doing it forever, and I feel like I just never seem to see any real change. I keep trying new therapists hoping to find one who clicks.

I am concerned that I look old before my time. I have had this concern for a while and it may be a body dysmorphic issue that is rooted in the same place as my eating disorder (from which I am in recovery)OR as a result of the eating disorder and the damage it caused, I objectively do look rough for my age. I started…

Replacing Tambor with a trans actress could be like a beautiful self-actualizing moment for Maura’s character.

It seems like this shouldn’t be too hard to pull off on a show that centers around physical transformation anyway.

Am I a sociopath if this clip made me lol? To be fair, I do not follow the show and am therefore not invested in these characters. The pull at your heartstrings music and over the top melodrama just...I laughed at the dead dad.

I’m breastfeeding my five month old and my husband does not get up with her at all. He sleeps right through her crying. I work from home and have a PT teaching job for a couple of hours 3 days a week. I felt really resentful for a while about being the only one of us to lose sleep, but I dealt with it bc my schedule…

They are multiplying so fast that I had to stop giving a shit.

Counterpoint: New Year’s Eve for real sucks balls. This year, I have broken a tooth and need a root canal, scheduled for January 2nd. Last year, I was six weeks pregnant and had horrible morning sickness. Year before that, found my first gray hair and my drunk ex-friend wouldn’t leave my house for three days. I can…

I have a 4 month old going through what I think is a sleep regression and I low-key feel like a zombie. I work from home and have a part-time teaching job, so that elusive napping thing is not an option. My husband helps to the extent he can but he doesn’t have boobs so there is only so much.

This looks like everything I’ve ever wanted in a movie.

I have an obsession with looking young that started right around when my eating disorder behavior stopped, so around when I was 25. I am 30 now, and it hasn’t gotten better. I am afraid of looking “older than my age,” which I know isn’t even a real thing, just an idea implanted by the capitalist patriarchy, but I…
