I want to start maybe getting back out there on the dating scene, but I know that I'm not exactly in a good place to be right now to be a decent prospective partner to anyone so I'm working on my adulting skills, and it's hard and annoying and boring. Especially since so many adult things involve phone calls and those…
Speaking of breasts looking perfect, I'm getting my boobs done in two weeks. I lost 200+ pounds over the past (almost) 5 years and the girls need some help. My whole body could use some help actually but my breasts have been an ongoing issue for me.
Ladies I need some emotional support tonight. After 5 months I was officially dumped today. I saw it coming but it still hurts. I was so thoughtful, kind, generous and understanding of this person and none of it was appreciated. As we talked today he tried acting as if I had something to do with our problems, when in…
I want to thank everyone who put up with my dramatic pity party over the last few weeks. You've had great advice and just having people reply at all made me feel better.
I'm sorry that is terrible. I am passive-aggressive so I would pretend that I was not paying attention and then say "oh sorry I got distracted/just remembered this awesome thing my kid did for me. Were you just saying that someone you know actually recommended to someone else that they get plastic surgery to change…
You are allowed not to hang around with "close relatives" if they are a bunch of idiots, which yours are. Feel free to skip any festivities featuring these morons.
emotional abuse is so hard because it's so insidious and so easy to think that maybe it's all in your head or you are imagining it. My husband escalated to physical abuse which is why I fled, and honestly a part of me is glad it happened like that because I think it would have taken longer for me to leave had it…
being alone and happy seems so much better than being with someone who makes you feel so awful! I'm looking forward to focusing on my career and my kiddo this year! Glad to hear there is good stuff waiting for me out there!
It's true, no one wants to believe the person they married is a monster and also even terrible relationships have moments of happiness and enjoyment. Also I think people underestimate the power and control that someone can slowly and gradually impose over you, until one day you wake up and you realize just how much…
Good for you. Enjoy yourself! You deserve it!
God, I'm so sorry. They suck, and you should avoid them whenever possible.
You know what's ACTUALLY ugly? The people who would say such a thing to another person, let alone their own family member.
Ugh. Big internet hugs. You're better than that (and it sounds like you know it!) so just be your great self and they can fuck right off.
Oh man! Congrats! This is awesome. You did something super brave. And you're damn right - don't feel ashamed. This happens to SO many people because we really want to believe the best in the person we love, and there are all these teeny little signs that you can write off as a bad day or just "every relationship has…
Thanks! I feel proud of me too! My awesome friend hooked me up with a domestic violence resource center and the social worker helped me get a restraining order and temporary custody of our kid! (We have a kid together which obviously complicates things). I'm also hoping they can help me find a good therapist/counselor…
I AM SO HAPPY FOR YOU. And, if it's not weird, I am so proud of you. What you've done is huge. And so brave. If you feel lost or could use support I'd totally encourage you to connect with a domestic violence/women's center—they can probably help you through some of the steps that might be weird or hard (what you need…
sending hugs and beautiful new beginnings wishes your way.
Good for you! This is some fucking inspirational stuff right here! *also sends a high five*
