You cannot fix them - you are not special

You cannot fix them - you are not special — My ex always told me he’d give me the world, that I was his forever. I recently broke up with him after 2 years together even though it shattered me. I recently started reading the book, Out of Love…

I was a victim of COCSA but don’t feel like a victim

I was a victim of COCSA but don’t feel like a victim — I just need to get this off my chest. I never really thought much about this memory until recent years.. the only person that knows about it is my husband. I have very few memories before the age of 5…

No one should suffer because we have trauma.

Hurt people hurt people. Is it wrong? Yep, but they do. All we can do is try to be better individuals and keep strong boundaries that If we are disrespected we can walk away. I always try to remember…

Got ghosted by a friend of a friend which isn't dramatic, but it sucks to have been ghosted multiple times this year already and even finding that people in my sort of greater social circle do it to m…

my boyfriend always talks about my body as if he’s settling for it :( (20M 20F)

He's a negging asshole. Next time he sprouts this shit, hit him with 'Your dick is small but its good enough for me' And then if he gets all butt hurt just say 'oh honey I thought we were giving out…

I 49M am confused at her 43F behaviour

She initiated the pace, you went along with it. This is on her and no, leave her alone now. If someone wants that quick pace and its too fast, please say so. Jumping into bed so quickly too, not the …

Ghosted at 45

For sure. I just had a 40s woman do it to me. Goes both sides.

They are back

eh, I stand by it, the world is in a terrible place and these supposedly powerful beings are wasting time appearing to random ppl for no reason at all instead of actually helping the planet by disclos…

My boyfriend (M25) saw an old video of me(F24) and was disgusted. How can I get over this?

Idk. I think I kinda relate. It's the fact that he wouldn't do it to me but he would be ok to do it to others that I'm not ok with. Like how I can stand by or support or love someone who will disres…

Why is healing from a discard taking longer than the relationship itself? It was only 2 months

Thank you so much, this was very insightful. I think one reason I liked him is because we both have the same career as teachers and have the same level of higher education. It felt like we could talk …

How to move on when it feels unfair?

Tbh I was in this same spot but you have to understand that it’s only going to affect you if you let it. Now obviously it’s effecting you bc it’s hurting you but, sometimes we have to accept things fo…

I brought my mother a cup of tea

It's the weirdest thing - but she didn't do it to me growing up - just when I became an adult

Maybe biased because past experience, but I can't see even ASKING if I want/don't want something I bought for myself as anything but "Don't you know how to use a trash can?" any more.

> She once threw out a container of sugar because to her, it was expired. Sugar doesn't expire. It can go bad and grow mold if it gets wet but there's no such thing as "too old." Same with honey. …

Am I wrong to feel offended?

Yeah I'ma go ahead and tell you all skin folk ain't kin folk and the black guy who was talkin I promise you is NOT quality material and probably a passport bro. You should ABSOLUTELY say something. I…

I got drunk and Trauma dumped to people I've known for barely a month.

Thank you for saying what I've been struggling to type the past 10 minutes. Trauma dumping is a thing, but like...It's not the worst thing in the world. You're not a bad person for doing it, and quite…

I miss my innocence before this relationship

Honestly, before I took my first leap of faith with love with a BPD partner of 9 years, over time I realised how my disorganised attachment behaviours impacted that relationship we talked about it in …

Do not go back to them

I’m so angry on your behalf reading this!! I was also with an avoidant man and it’s fucking brutal, I definitely relate to trying to make everything perfect. I wasn’t successful in this as he frequent…
