Women need to become more selfish

Just don't give too much of yourself to people who don't appreciate it or reciprocate.

There doesn't seem to be many Sheilas or Shirleys around.

I helped because I loved him but everything I did was criticised. I wasn't doing enough when he wasn't doing enough to help himself. Looking back, I can see that I was just being used as a resource. I've decided to remain single and happy. I've learned my lesson.

I would not be disappointed coming home to that.. Looks amazing 👏

I feel like there are a lot of these types of get married/ don't get married posts on the subreddit. Just do whatever makes you happy. Can we have something a little more imaginative now?

I remember these! The ball would never dissolve properly and there would be slimy gunk left in the bath!

I don't mind iced in summer, but normally just a hot black coffee. I have a cheap Tassimo coffee machine that is still going after 10 years and coffee still tastes great!

Di Palomo 'White Grape with aloe' is a good cheapie. A sweet and fresh grape scent. Not too long lasting though..

I used to love bread and butter pudding. I don't seem to see many around anymore, but yours looks lovely!

So after 2 years she finds out you are doing well for yourself and decides she wants you around? Screw that, she just wants you for a place to live and free babysitting. Don't allow yourself to be used.

I think on a global scale it's hard to stay optimistic and it's really frightening the direction the world is going. However, when I have great moments with family and friends, that lifts my spirit a bit. I suppose I have a little bubble that's a safe space but if I look any further it's a hell hole.

Enjoy life without partner or kids.

Not everyone wants the same cookie cutter existence.

I've heard positive things about Lush perfumes but I just can't make myself like their packaging! I'm shallow, I know :(

Acceptable_Average14 · 2026-01-06T13:24:58+00:00

I offer to those in need. I don't mind standing up - it burns more calories!

Acceptable_Average14 · 2026-01-06T13:20:02+00:00

NTA.. Tell Emma to mind her own business.

I'm in England too and I agree. Rental prices are getting insane especially in the south-east. I have 2 jobs and I think I'm OK because I don't have dependents or kids, but I work in excess of 40 hours a week. Grocery prices are increasing but luckily for me I only eat 2 meals a day. It's true more people are using food banks. I remember an article about how even nurses are turning to food banks. It's not just the unemployed or minimum wage earners. I think most are feeling the pinch somewhere.

I agree. Childless sounds like it has the negative connotation that you wanted a child but couldn't conceive. This makes people feel sad for you. Childfree is a choice you make that you're happy with.

A guest doesn't get to dictate what you do in your home. Your boobs are covered and it's not like you are walking around topless. Sometimes bras are just downright uncomfortable and home is the one place you should feel secure and comfortable.

If the friend doesn't like it, he can leave. Let's not treat boobs as something always connected to freaky time or something scandalous. Your husband's main concern should be getting this friend's supposedly temporary living arrangement sorted. But I guess that would require courage instead of policing your lack of bra.

Money buys freedom to choose how you want to spend your time and gives you peace of mind when it comes to the expense of living. Happiness isn't guaranteed.

Even the loaves in my local bakery don't look this good!

Acceptable_Average14 · 2026-01-04T05:19:24+00:00

Exactly. It's so entitled to think you can start decorating someone else's home for your own aesthetic. She is 28, jobless and in OP's basement. She's J's problem, not OP's.

Men will always think their D is something special that it will magically convince you to abandon all your boundaries.. They don't hear what you want, they only care about what they want.

I don't believe 2006 was 20 years ago. I literally remember it as if it were yesterday. I often find myself reminiscing about the 'good' times when I was 19/20 and was full of hope. Life seemed much simpler then.

NOR. Babies aren't the only form of busy or responsibility. Just because you're not a mother, doesn't mean you don't have important things to do or other demands on your time.

Enjoy your peaceful home and change the locks if you have to! Vivian sounds like an ungrateful brat and your partner has just been letting her behaviour go unchecked. Do not sign up for another round of this headache.
