Okay thank God. I feel some shame and the quality has taken a straight nosedive, but I. can't. stop. 

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…

Miscarriage #2 this year. Dudepheelio is super supportive and I think it might be worse for him. He said he doesn’t want to keep getting me pregnant and then watching this happen, and that trying is 100% my choice, but I’m like, “Fuck it, let’s dance.”

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.

Half-Scoop is now my favorite nickname for the Donj.  Thank you for bringing this thing into my life.

This is not shade or a dig, but I can’t believe KK is only 33. That means she was young AF in all my favorite movies of hers, which are all of her movies.

For context, here is his full Montana speech

Divorcing now is the best thing. My parents separated when I was 20 months and I only know them as separate entities. My step-mom has been so for 35 years and it’s just the way my family is. Not saying it’s all been great, but my family is a blended one and we’ve made the best out of it. Nearly 40 years later, there…

Yes, and I was talking about my first marriage (when I was youngish, now 44)! This is my second and I’m trying harder with this one to not have it fail, but everything you’ve said above rings true: when he’s gone, I’m relieved and sometimes I get pissed when he comes home. I’m realizing from all the excellent wisdom…

My parents split up when I was 4 and my best friend got divorced when her kid was 6 months old. I feel like in some ways it is a blessing for a kid to have all this shit happen before they are capable of having memories about it. I was not conscious enough to blame myself or think my parents loved me any less. I…

My ex was great about paying child support (that we had negotiated) until they turned 18. But he refused to help pay college for them. I genuinely wish I had that put into our divorce settlement.

My marriage died when my kids were almost 4 and 2. It literally died in one day when I found the other woman texts. Though it took about 18 months of screaming and fighting to actually legally officially end. I echo all of what has been said here. Through some miracle we’ve worked out a courteous friendship. And we…

As the child of divorced parents, my one plea is that you don’t badmouth your child’s father in their presence EVER. If you do, it tells the child that 50% of who they are, are shit. If the parents badmouth each other, it kills the child’s self-esteem entirely. 100% of their DNA are shit, what are you supposed to do…

As a child of a tumultuous divorce all I can say is if you are unhappy and your home is unhappy every move to move away from that leads to a happier and healthier childhood.

Whooo lady I am so sorry. You’re Bebe’s life and developement is so important, and a healthy relationship with AND BETWEEN his parents is key. My parents spent 15k each on a mediator to help with their seperation. Now, I will not say that a price tag is important, but I will say that my parents divorce was chill as…

Get a really good lawyer. Custody is one of the hardest issues and you need somebody completely in your corner.

Lemme tell you. My parents have been married, remarried to other people, and then fucking remarried each other. Sounds like a Disney movie right? Nope. Aaaaallllllllllllllllllll the problems and resentment were still there dispute obviously really truly loving each other. Things are so much better now almost 30 years…

Remember that even though he gets or wins custody rights doesn’t mean he’ll use them or his interest in using them will last. If he never was into parenting to begin with keeping himself in the custody talk may just be for ego in the midst of the marriage breakdown blow to his male pride, then once settled and time…

I don’t have kids, but when my 15 year relationship ended I went through months of brain fog and trouble concentrating (and then there was the anger, anxiety and every other emotion) I found meditating helped.
