addiction is usually a symptom/ coping mechanism of a personality disorder. He does need help- sad truth is it will likely be ineffective and any relief short-lived.

That was what my mom was saying this morning. What a waste to be so intelligent and have zero impulse control.

Sex addiction it’s sex addiction! This has been so disturbing and bringing me back to a long term relationship I had with a sex addict. Recovery is probably on par with food addiction- notoriously hard to overcome because you need food to live. Sex not as vital as food (some might argue otherwise) but sexuality is an…

sex addiction.

No borderline. Full-fledged. I was in a relationship with a sex addict for three years, before all these handy formats for quick fixes (dick pics, sexting) were invented. I can only imagine the levels of insanity living with a sex addict nowadays. As a partner, no one stands a chance. It’s too easy to act out on every…

I am really feeling awful for their kid. How will he reconcile this grimy shit.

A dry-ass ham sandwich. Sans cheese, even.

I know how it feels needing to vent so badly but not wanting to stir shit up among mutual friends/acquaintances or put your business out there.

appreciate you ending on a *lighter* note (not really but you know what I mean) since your comment sent my tears into overdrive.

I know right?? And trying to *explain* it felt so insane. I realized I was basically attempting to guide/introduce his brain into a line of thinking that made no sense to him.

My father recently bought this weird cheesecloth/tea towel thingy with little portraits of all the presidents up to obama at a souvenir shop for my 6 year old son.

I hope she is still alive to watch it happen.

My iced coffee is coming out of my nose.

I’m so sorry!! I was confused by your initial post but just looked at it again and it reads very differently now. I can feel the ragey typing :( been there, feel for you...the Internet/ social media / online dating has fucked us all especially if we had existing trust issues...even if/when it’s “innocent”... it can…

I didn’t mean to imply you were! :)

I took my kid to see both finding dory and secret life of pets twice already. The first time I take him to a movie it’s usually *for* him. Second time is like “all I want is to sit in the dark for a couple hours and not actively parent/interact with you”

I know them by name but wasn’t sure “which ones” they were until I played the clip. Well done, guy. I am a cynical motherfucker and by default internally side-eye folks who hit the news for this sort of thing, but it seems legit and like he went there intending to speak his mind and express disgust because shit is…

I took my kid to see them not knowing what to expect- I’ve played some Velvet Underground for him and he likes it, especially Who Loves The Sun. They played “who loves the ‘za” and it was pretty awesome. Just imagining the genesis of the band is entertaining to me. The kid wasn’t really into it- he kept looking at me…

The other girls will pick it up and run with it, but the origin is generally steeped in ball sweat.

YES! One thing I’ve also noted through the years listening to my brothers yammering on about sports is that a lot of shit on ESPN and the sports-related topics men engage in is just reality TV-type drama on the low. Or sometimes straight up gossip. The premise is different but it all boils down to the same thing.…
