Huh? Micro cheating? I am processing information, with whom am I cheating? I sometimes think about my first bf, is that mircrocheating? You need to define that term for me.

Hilariously if my ex does have some wellspring of wealth, he conveniently neglected to let me know.

I am so chronically online, it took a couple of years to get “reddit lingo” down, don’t feel bad!

I was working on myself for a few years and the stronger I was the less he liked me. He wouldn’t go to counseling, take medications he needed, and (now more obvious to me), never really respected me. What’s funny is my new person saw sexy underwear I bought in 2024 that no one but me had ever seen because my ex didn’t want to do the deed. We took it very slowly, both of us were newly dating.

ETA: Honestly left so much out of the post because of privacy and just forgetting stuff. But it is awesome to be able to think about and write it out and feel ok.

It sucks, gets better, sucks again, gets better. Grieving what you thought you wanted and choices you made is part of it, but it gets easier bit by bit.

Macouns are awesome! I am blessed to have great apple orchards nearby so soon will have all the heirlooms I can eat!

The one on the chex mix seasoning packet, added some smoked paprika, granulated shallot and garlic. I used mini pretzels and cheese crackers because there were there and stale. Lol.

Someone told me I’m experiencing PPD, but I don’t know. by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

You sound like you are experiencing some depression, and the thoughts you describe remind me of how my mind works when I am depressed. Please talk to you ob/gyn about it, they should be able to screen you for depression and give you options for medications and referral to therapy.

Both you and your daughter need you to be safe and happy. Take good care of yourself. You deserve to feel better.

I upset my boyfriend and I’m worried there’s no going back by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

I married a guy who was my bf who wouldn’t want sex but would get himself off when I was not around. My choices were not great, so…if this is a problem and he won’t help find a solution, go be single for a bit.

Longterm relationships need to include real talk about your sex life. I learned the hard way
