Yep, yep, yep. Totally understandable. Anyone who is privileged enough to do so should, by all means, participate in the strike. But yeah, not everyone can.

“Aides confer in the dark because they cannot figure out how to operate the light switches in the cabinet room.”

Yeah, sadly her opting out was not shocking. I expected it I guess? My worry is that she would pull out like an hour before the wedding, at least she did it a year before.

haha, happy to oblige! This situation rang a LOT of bells for me and it’s much easier to see unreasonable behaviour from the outside I reckon. Sorry for all the swearing though... i’ve clearly been around my family too much!

Thing is though that’s not even the case, loyalty doesn’t even come into this, you’re just asking for basic decency. She fucking lied to your face THEN went behind your back to suggest your ex does things to make life shitter for you! WTF? If she’s so convinced its the wrong decision or that you are in the wrong she…

I’m sorry, that sounds so hard. I guess you’ll have more information soon when your friend responds to your message and tells you whether she said those things about you to your ex or if he just made them up to hurt you. I hope things look up soon!

I am making my crafty candle salad again due to popular demand.

my wife is making: batter fried chicken wings two ways (korean spice and maple glaze bbq), mini pigs in a blanket (blankets are mini as well), homemade fries, ‘ringed shrimp,’ mini ham salad sandwiches, bbq pork nachos, franco-canadian-iberian tourtière empanadas, be-bouled spinach and artichoke dip, deviled eggs,…

Omg that picture.

It really is the best. One swipe takes all my mascara off. Plus I’ve noticed a reduction in my dark circle and bags too. And I know that’s not due to getting better sleep because, well, I’m basically sleeping as one might if she were worried a dictatorship is on the horizon.

Exactly. Nope. The salt works as an exfoliant which seems to remove the bumps and then the coconut oil (in the scrub and then applied afterwards) smooths everything out. My skin is softer than its ever been. I have a toddler and our skin textures are now pretty comparable (not to brag). And my wife says she’s loving…

Nope it just means you are human. What she did was shitty and the whole situation is awful. Glad you got out

I mean, I hate to get defensive on behalf of the OP, but it’s rarely that simple...

Made a new burner since my old one died with my old phone.

The worst breakup I ever had was a friend breakup.

My best friend of 15 years is giving me the silent treatment. This has happened on several occasions - I can only ever guess why. I think she is pulling the same thing she did with my other best (and mutual) friend, which is this: Since she doesn’t choose to be in a relationship (and that’s OK! She’s just not…

KARMIC WHAT?

I’m sorry! It sounds like you are better off without both of them but that doesn’t make it easier.

It was harder for me to quit my BFF than it was for me to break up with past long-term partners. I first had to move out (which was planned as I moved in with my fiance) but she took that as yet another slight because…

Karmic retribution for breaking up???? Wow. OKAY!

She’s a good drinking partner, I guess.
