They’re both men. I know this because they share so much, constantly. At least Juyjuy is usually only one of the first commenters during weekdays. MD is one of the first commenters day, night, weekend, weekdays, despite that he’s 5 hours ahead of eastern time. Honestly, I just scroll past them now usually. I’m so sick…

I’m pretty stunned he hasn’t dismissed my response to that comment.

Fuck that noise. My biological grandparents got in touch 20 years after they told me they didn’t want to see me anymore - everyone keeps telling me to accept their ‘apology’ (I don’t now if they want to apologise), and that it might be my last chance before they die, but fuck all that noise. They made a choice and…

I lost more than one acquaintance over Amway. I’m not a big one for having my time wasted.

I actually kind of wish this would happen, because my ex is married but we all know he cheats on her.

This sounds like me with my recently exed boyfriend. He’s not a bad person, he just refuses to grow up and makes bad decision after bad decision. Sometimes we have to just walk away.

Two friends, whom I was both fairly good friends with, are divorcing. It wasn’t unexpected. You could see the cracks forming in the marriage for a while. In the early days of the split, the wife friend confided details of their marriage that pretty much boil down to a standing pattern of emotional and mental abuse…

It’s that exactly. “In the black” space has become more rarefied lately (I’m pre-morning gloria days, lest kinja), yet these guys always occupy the first 5 minute comment. Honestly, it’s like they refresh every minute! I just want interesting insights on the topic brought up.

It’s cold af here and I want more wine. So. Much. More. Wine.

I did the same a few years ago. I started the process with another friend today. I have been overlooking bullshit I am not comfortable with for far too long. I realized that I have taken on the role of enabler with him and I am not comfortable with that, especially not for a casual but long term friend. I hung up on…

Your entire comment is spot on.

Agreed, kind of reminds me of Squid.

Oh, Lester Holt. I don’t identify as him, so that was confusing.

Oh man-good luck! I hope Cat’s Dad shapes up whether you let him back in or not

Wishing you all the best and infinite support in your sessions. I think it is great you’ve started this path.

Would it be appropriate for you or one of your friends to get those kids’ email addresses and offer to be pen pals of sorts?

Yes, I love it! I’ll get two weeks of paid vacation for the first time since 2008. Any time I wanted to take time off, whether I was sick or just needed a break, I’ve had to either do it without pay or work while I was “on vacation.” Last year, I had the flu for 12 days and only missed one day of work (because I got…

Early twenties? Your typing sounds like a grumpy late forties.

Welp, it didn’t go exactly the way I planned it (calm and composed and straightforward and free of extreme emotion) but the dude and I finally had THE conversation and what it comes down to is he simply isn’t ready to be in therapy (I respect that) he doesn’t feel like a sexual relationship is necessary for deep and…
