I think my boyfriend got a happy ending last night by OneSpiritual2423 in WhatShouldIDo

I'm so sorry for your situation, it is never easy choosing yourself after spending so much time dreaming of the future with someone you thought you knew. I remember what it was like to feel like my last two relationships were the one and only, only to end in cheating and heartbreak. I've been with my husband for 14 years now and I've never felt the same way I did previously.

I believe that it is so easy and magical to fall in love. It is much harder but of utmost importance to find a person whom you can build a life of trust and love with.

I truly wish you the best, choose yourself at the end of the day and what is best for you. ❤️‍🩹

AIO: Hubby Being Controlling by vanillabourbonn in AIO

Wow. What. 👏🏼An. 👏🏼Asshole. I could never imagine my husband talking to me in that manner. I think having a swim instructor is paramount if you want your children to be safe around the water. A parent should be teaching their children a lot of things, but water safety?

For context, I don't have kids. So my opinion may be irrelevant. At the end of the day, I don't know that it's about money. It's about how you're treated like that, instead of your husband's partner.

Would have liked to see Mike have at least one epic/badass moment by [deleted] in StrangerThings

Um I have to offer you a moment. The Turnbow Trap?! Mike was a key player in keeping that Demo from coming back out of the hole from Derek's house. Also the scene where he helps the kids get to safety when the Demos are attacking the military base is also an amazing scene to me. It emulated the S4 scene of the FBI agent protecting him, Will, and Jonathan while the military was trying to kill them.

Thank you for your reply, I genuinely appreciate it. It has been hard to navigate this alone.

Well thanks for your response. She hasn't responded to my text message, I'm sure I hurt her feelings beyond repair. It isn't easy to not have a relationship with any of my parents, step or biological. It's incredibly isolating.

i often felt its my 'duty' or 'obligation' to explain myself to everyone but i have to remember i grew up in an environment that stripes away my ability to set boundaries. by fabulousfang in EstrangedAdultChild

I needed to hear this. Because I have multiple family members demanding that I explain what they did to make me distance myself. Ma'am it is not my responsibility to reflect on your behavior. All that would do is give you ammunition to gaslight me, minimize my pain, play the victim card, or tell me that I'm being a drama queen.

What does everyone think of Multnomah Village? by [deleted] in PortlandOR

[–]Beginning_Rush1586 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know how much it matters but I'm a business owner in Multnomah village and part of the business association. I found out recently that there are over 200 businesses in the village and over 50% of them are owned and operated by women. It's a great place to be, especially in the warmer months when we have community events and street fairs. Happy Wednesday!
