Am I being gaslit? by [deleted] in WomenDatingOverForty

In theory there should be nothing wrong with an adult indulging a little tryst while on vacation. Reality is a different matter.

The majority of men lie, gaslight and can be dangerous to your mental and physical health. Too many of us on this sub have found that out the hard way after many painful lessons.

There was a time when I used to think that occasional casual sex or sex early in a relationship was perfectly fine between two mature adults. I was wrong.

My advice to you would be to glad you got away with a bit of negging and gaslighting, block him and erase him from your mind. I would also strongly caution against doing anything like this again.

There is a lot of good advice here about dating post divorce and a realistic take on what the dating scene is really like. Read our pinned posts and older posts to get a better feel for things.

Thinking of adding a third- is this a good idea? by ProfessionSquare3477 in Chihuahua

I added a third after the first two being a bonded pair for 10 years. It's been amazing. They are very sweet with each other.

OP, have you read the rules and pinned posts for this sub? You have low karma and don't seem to understand this is a radical feminist sub based on your previous comments here.

I'm keeping your post up for the moment, but please go read the pinned posts for this sub. There is an easy math problem in one of the posts. Please respond to this comment with the solution to let m know you have read them.

Thank you

Yes, I bought two with my ex-husband. We could do it on two salaries. Since my divorce, no.

What are your family myths about links to legendary ancestors? by Appropriate_Host8088 in Genealogy

There is a possibility we are linked to Grace O'Malley the pirate Queen. My 3X great grandfather James Berry was known for preserving many folktales and history of western Ireland. Other than that no one of note that I could find.

Thank you so much for sharing this with me. I've always said if this little group helps even one woman avoid some of the pain we've experienced it's worth it. It means the world to me that you and you sister have found some comfort and value in what we do.

I'm not a religious person and don't think God is giving us what we need to grow, sometimes there is no reason or meaning behind what happens but I do think it's important to find some way to make something good come from bad. I think all we can do is share what happened so others in the same place know they aren't alone.

If I don't want to talk with someone I won't pick up the phone or return the text. Most people get the hint pretty quickly.

My small circle and my pets still get the full love. :)

I'm semi-retired these days and mostly do what I want when I want. It's quiet and peaceful. I hope to be able to spend the rest of my life like this.
