I’m so sorry this happened to you. Thank goodness Maddie was there to protect you. I hope you’re OK now x

My fiancé and I don’t want kids. His family wants him to have them (mine have given up asking, I’ve been pretty vocal since forever). I don’t think they know how old I am, or they would probably try to persuade him to ditch me for a young fertile wife.... no one has said anything to my face yet, but I’m sure they…

So much this. I moved to a fairly new city almost 3 years ago and one of my friends there introduced me to her friend group. We were having lunches every 2 months, until she eventually got pregnant and gave birth and now I’m not seeing her at all because it seems we no longer have anything in common... most of the…

Thought the same thing. It’s uncanny.

Also, it doesn’t say what type she had, does it? I mean, I’d definitely be up for it with my man and another woman, and definitely not with 2 guys. So...

ETA just clicked the link and saw it was the former. Nevermind!

Definitely a grade-A Asshole

Self-hate? What? No. I believe that he’s a great guy and a fantastic mayor, who will do lots of good things for London. Me losing my job is less important than the improvements he will make to the city. It’s called looking at the bigger picture, my dear.

JFC that’s vile

I love Sadiq even though I’m losing my job because of his budget cuts!

Yep

They want to kick the UK out as quickly as possible...
