Oh yes when I was married I often did it so my ex would stop pouting and sulking and treat me like a human again for 2-3 days. I’m glad people are starting to put this into words and no longer tolerating it.
First, lol. Nobody asked this person to be their personal savior. What a galactic ego. Good thing by reading this rant you can tell he learned absolutely nothing.
Also, I think this is a great example of someone confidently misappropriating therapy speak in only the way a certified narcissist can. Probably.
I just go to the library and if a title grabs my attention I read the back and if that grabs my attention I make sure it’s not in first person. Then I check it out.
Is this friend group worth suffering and working through those thoughts and feelings (you know the ones) that will crop up from time to time? If so, don’t hesitate and reach out and talk it out as soon as possible. If not, friendships do end for everyone. It’s okay not to hang on to things that hurt.
Teacher friend of mine (ex friend) came out saying ice just arrested drug dealers and bad people and no one else. Uh. She married for a green card, so I hope that works out for her.
I think one other thing that’s super important to add on to this list is “desirable partners.” The current generation of young men have leaned hard into the alt-right pipeline while young women have become more left leaning as their rights are being threatened loudly and chipped away at globally.
This is a good point to bring up. My friend who is far less educated and her husband have awful jobs compared to me, but because they have generational wealth they are much better off in life. They have homes, land, etc all because they were passed down. At the same time, they would rail against being called privileged, but they could sell that home for half a million dollars and never go into the debts or put in the work others have to just to have a roof over their heads.
I wash my clothes after I wear them, each time. Unwashed clothes get a certain funk, even if they look clean. You can always tell when people do this. It’s a little metallic.
I keep it together because a lot of young people are around me. But on the inside I’ve kind of given up on anything good and dread the next fucking crazy thing to come up.

Darvo? Not really a word but it’s a thing.

Open phone. See if new email. Check here. Check YouTube subs. Adds up to less than an hour a day. Unless I feel like sudoku. Thats my time sink.

Only with enthusiastic consent. :)
Oh we are. But alas, pesky standards.
Indeed. It’s Wholesome.
I roll mine like a little sausage. They don’t wrinkle and it’s fast. Also I suck at folding.
It’s like one giant Groupon to someone else’s dementia room and we’re all trapped inside.
I’m sure they’re making that entirely up. No one is a super star on their first birth, let alone someone who is physically not finished developing.

And guess who the fathers to those teen pregnancies are? It’s men over 20. Adding a layer of ick to what he’s lamenting.
Tbh I think they really only slowed down because it was the absolute dead of winter.

Glad I’m not alone, but also sad
