Yeah, I mean, I’m not looking to pick on him but this is such a regular response from men that marry significantly younger women. They are all act like their love is such a shining and unique example of older men/younger women relationships work. And I am sure they do but men make themselves more open and available to…

Agreed. I have a new neighbor who I think is really cute. Then I found out he’s 22. I still think he’s cute but now I feel creepy.

I’m the same age (35). For me the tv crush cut-off is 24. Anyone under that, while I know they’re adults, it’s all a bit too Nabokovian for me. As for actual dating, if you’re under 26, you need not apply.

Can I just say that as a 35 year old woman, I’ve started feeling really creepy thinking anyone under the age of say, 28ish is “hot”. I don’t know how J-Lo and Madonna do it.

I was just severely disappointed in “To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before” for not featuring a single Asian love-interest. Not even the main character’s father was Asian.

I went by myself yesterday afternoon and had a grand ole time, though I wished i had like-minded company as the rest of the theater didn’t quite “get it” and I was the crazy lady laughing alone. 

Here’s to living a full life, on your own terms! 🍻

a two hour discussion with my husband in which I repeatedly asked him if he finds me attractive, and every time he changed the subject.

my dissatisfaction with my sex life was an indicator of the emotional abuse that I was experiencing

Thank you for sharing that. I think that’s a really important story.

About a year ago, I started posting on here about how I was dissatisfied with my sex life with my husband. With support from this community, I started seeking therapy and came to realize that my dissatisfaction with my sex life was an indicator of the emotional abuse that I was experiencing. I left my husband in…

Oh thank god for this thread that’s designed to be hijacked. Where else to turn? I just had a two hour discussion with my husband in which I repeatedly asked him if he finds me attractive, and every time he changed the subject. FML. Or rather, FMM.

I went on a job interview for my dream job yesterday and it went super well but I’m trying really really really hard to not convince myself that I already got the job and that everything’s super great. I also paid off all of my credit cards this morning. Goodbye $5,000s of debt. I’ve also lost 12 pounds as of today,…

So, I did a two week training class a few weeks ago and I’m still reeling from it. I work in law enforcement (I’m an analyst) and I completed a family and sexual violence investigations course. I had a hotel on the beach and essentially a vacation paid for by work. However, the class made me realize some things about…

Love is a verb before it's a noun sometimes. You're doing everything right. 

The fact that you took in your nephew and are caring for him means you love him. It doesn’t have to be sweeping, all-encompassing love like you would your own child or a pet. Teaching him how to read and making sure he has his own space shows you care.

So, I got fired yesterday. Let go. Laid off. Whatever. One of my bosses came into my office and said that I wasn’t “meeting expectations”. It’s pretty ironic because my bosses rarely gave me any expectations to follow. I said okay. Then I packed up my stuff and left.
I have a little money, so I’ll be okay for a little…

congratulations you’re objectipowered now

I think one comes from the other.  Being more empowered and having a better understanding of modern social dynamics makes them realize earlier how objectified they’ve always been.  

most girls including one-third of boys say that
