I have and I see why women say they won’t date a broke man and tell other women not to. Having a job is like the BARE minimum for people, but apparently having basic standards for your partner as a woman is a bad thing.

If you have this kind of boyfriend/husband, what is your story? Isn't traumatic, irritating overtime, and or the reason you have trust issue caused by him?

So my bf’s been in a bad mood for a while now, he gets pissed at the little things that I do. I’ve been giving him space and distancing myself from him, I don’t bother him anymore other than just to have a quick chat sending funny videos, I don’t talk about my problems with him bcs he has a lot to deal with already, I even keep quiet and learned to take the punches he throws at me (not literally, emotional punches) and brush it off as him having an off day.

Earlier he got annoyed because I asked him a question about how his day was and he said that I’m being insensitive and annoying. I said “it was just a question, no need to be aggressive please”. Then he went to work, he then sent me a bunch of texts consisting of long paragraphs detailing my mistakes.

He does this a lot and usually I would respond with me explaining myself and how he took my actions the wrong way, I also always apologize and promise to do better. But then he would blow up and start an argument, he would also say “let’s drop this” and I’d say “okay let’s” but then he would proceed with prolonging the argument all over again… I know his pattern and I’m not gonna play along with it anymore so I simply said “Okay, I understand” and left it at that.

He then texted me back saying that he doesn’t believe me and that he needs reassurance that I won’t annoy him again. I just said “Trust me, I understand what you’re saying, I hear you”. Then he said “k.” I know he’s pissed when he responds with that. But I didn’t bother responding after that.

Did I do the right thing or was I being rude? I just don’t want him to weaponize my words to start another argument so I kept it simple and straightforward. Plus he already painted me as the bad guy anyway…

You know what you are not into and don’t want to do. You know what and when you want certain things in your future. However someone seemingly great comes along, you fall in love, and although everyone else failed to change you, this one person has talked you into disregarding your dealbreakers and so much more. Its almost scary to no longer be set in your ways. Deep down you don’t want to change but you also don’t want to lose everything you two have become

We think my cousins husband is grooming his single friends teen daughter! Like most of the family is kinda wondering and talking.

He is always with the teen and the mom is always just tagging along with the 2 of them and him to things. Along with his wife who is never his primary focus.

There is including a single mom in stuff but this is going way beyond that!

The mom has issues and only dates the wrong guys. Her ex screamed at her that he would rape her daughter if she did not give in to things!

Her ex is now in jail... Again

Was it hard learning how to share?

Like something they bought for you, but still proves useful enough to keep and not throw away.

Yesterday I turned 29 & it was one of the worst birthdays ever. I have a sinus infection, the weather sucked & the only people that acknowledged my birthday were my parents. I don’t have any friends, I’ve been at my job for almost 2 years & the only thing I got was that automated email from the company. I have this online friend I’ve known for a few years & he’s always wished me a happy birthday (even when I forgot his) & would stay in contact pretty consistently. Yesterday was the first yr in forever he didn’t & I just don’t think I can look past it, it stung more bc of how shitty this birthday was. It shocked me & I consider myself officially friendless (even though I always was)

Always loved body writing to bad it's not common. So adore seeing how beautiful I am written on me in the mirror 🪞!
