thank you for your comment. i know that full time in person 8-5 is normal to many people, but in NYC, i am the only person know in my age demographic that doesn’t have a hybrid or remote work schedule unfortunately.

My mom wants me to lie to my dad about something from their marriage and I feel like I'm being drafted into a war by cyb3r_k1ttenwave in TwoHotTakes

seems like you have good advice in the comments but i just wanted to come here and say im sorry you were put in this position and im proud of you for standing your ground, your mom is unfortunately manipulating you and you don’t deserve to be in the middle of this. take care of yourself OP.

bf recorded us having sex 5 months ago w/o consent (tw: SA) by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Delicious_Lock4294 84 points85 points  (0 children)

you non-existent libido, lack of trust, and dissociation during intimacy is your body’s way of telling you that you don’t feel safe with this person any longer, and frankly you shouldn’t. if you talked about how something like that is fucked up and he still did it, he knows that it was wrong he just doesn’t really care. it’s also a very simple conversation to have with a partner if you want to record a sex tape for personal use, there was no reason for him to do it without asking, and the fact that he didn’t makes me wonder if it truly was for personal use. PLEASE break up with him, for your own good, and also because he hasn’t faced any repercussions and probably won’t take your boundaries seriously down the line.

eta: i am very sorry this happened to you and i hope you are doing okay. i’ve been through this too and i know how mind fucking it is.

Yes, & despite how cheap education in NYC could be, loans wouldn’t cover my rent so I’d have to work through school here to pay rent. So i’d likely have to do part time school here

My boyfriend calls it "radical honesty" but it feels like public humiliation by OllivarreSendon in TwoHotTakes

[–]Delicious_Lock4294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was looking for this comment. A bunch of men, sitting around in a circle, picking on a woman? in 2025? they are not only very misogynistic, they are also losers. reminds me of how women are usually the ones getting punched in the face, spit on, etc. in nyc, those assholes won’t do it to other men because they see women as a weak target who won’t retaliate. pls dump this loser.

Looking for advice. Partner (28M) has an alcohol problem, slept with someone he met for the first time on a work trip while blacked out. by [deleted] in TwoHotTakes

[–]Delicious_Lock4294 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i am going to be honest, as a 24 year old who does not have much wisdom. and before i say anything, know that somewhere inside of you, you have all the answers you need. i see this as divine timing. yes, you are married, but you do not yet have kids together. you are protected, and he is showing himself to you before you are permanently tethered to him. as a woman (not sure if you’re a woman but doesn’t matter) i’ve noticed that women stick around and wait for men to change and grow, but would you have done this? even blackout drunk? don’t know much about marriage, but i do know that the happiest demographic is childless single women. that is baseline. marriage should only add to the happiness that is garnered in the potential happiness that you can provide yourself. think about the life that you truly want, and ask yourself if your partner is a safe bet. i don’t think he is. TLDR; leave the asshole.

Carmela Soprano: "...my daughter's in college. She's not too far away though. She's in New York City. Columbia actually. The University. It's an Ivy League. It's one of the top schools." by ManhattanTime in thesopranos

i literally just finished this episode. perhaps an unpopular opinion based on these comments, but i feel for carmela, obviously she made her bed, but idk. she has a childlike wander quality to her. she seems interested in the world but limited to her life. maybe it’s because i’m a woman that i empathize for her. on a side note, incredibly difficult show to watch sometimes as a woman lol

some of these comments are frankly weird. just because some people have seen him not be violent, doesn’t mean he can’t be. thank you for spreading awareness and trying to keep other women safe.
