If this is how my children felt, I would consider myself a failure. It’s not acceptable in a healthy relationship that the other party feel fear. For children, parents have even more of an obligation of trust and security. Anything less is neglectful and perhaps even abusive.
The mud pits are a test of strength!
I see you’ve got the standard warthogs handling experience.
The ones most sensitive to price increases are the ones who consistently vote to for these types of leaders. They are visceral, reactive, and planning for the future is just paycheck-to-paycheck. They are reactionary. I worry most about what they do when they can no longer afford necessities, and how many ways that will be blamed on their levelheaded neighbors.
I’ll join!

I’ve seen just a handful of “I know it’s a comment chain from Reddit, but….” posts.
Mom here.
Plan B: Yes …and…!
Go to the health dept/gyno and get tested. If you haven’t had an HPV vaccine you’ve also been exposed (and exposing others). HPV can cause cancer, which develops slowly with no symptoms. Make sure you get routine paps. Get on birth control, ASAP.
And yes I’d say you have things to process, being as you’re doing this knowing it will feel bad and scary later. Therapy is expensive and all, but I’d look into why you might do things to yourself that are clearly self-sabotaging.
Feel free to send a DM.
Realized I’d dropped a cup and band size and that’s why my bras all felt terrible. New bras yay! My wallet cries, but it feels nice?
Watching people make connections.
It’s already been working like garbage lately. Wonder if this is related.
Not me, I’m into middle aged bears.
I like talking to real people. To me that’s a benefit.
Reddit also feels like it’s gotten less friendly to me as a woman. That’s just been my personal feeling.
Here’s what I do: I work in a field where it’s never ending. Yesterday four people were looking for me while I had a priority. I focused on my priority and I directed them to remote ways to contact me. I put them on my calendar. I have 3 spreadsheets regarding different things to do this month, week, daily. I do my daily priorities and chip away at the spreadsheets in downtime. I never finish. I also don’t think about it for a single second after I leave the building, and I also don’t feel bad. The reason for this is being a human being, only one person, and it can wait but enjoyment and rest will not. YOLO.
Was she dating my ex-husband? He would do this to me when we went rock climbing. To the point where the people there didn’t recognize me at all even though he worked there.
I really don’t. I feel like what I consume and enjoy is a reflection of me.
“Roflmao” :(
Also: cool beans
I think your brain would have to rewire and maybe some heavy therapy but idk.
That 46 year old is in decline, and that 25 year old is in their prime. They will likely have baggage, medical issues, and assorted hangups they may want to impose on the younger partner. They are possibly seeking a younger individual for predatory reasons such as someone young to have biological offspring with, that will put up with a variety of neglects, and will take care of them in the looming decades as they become more frail. All in all, a good time as consenting adults is whatever. But as a relationship? Do not recommend. You’ll be a nurse sooner than you think.
