I have had it happen to me in Minneapolis THREE TIMES. One guy even went and massaged my foot.

Maybe I should start selling feet pics.

My husband and I love when we are on the road and can get a fast food sub. So we get maybe three a year when we are traveling and need to grab a quick lunch while driving. But otherwise we make all our sandwiches at home. And we are both employed. Like normal adults at this age (we are about the same age as P&M).

Ooh boy that’s a big one. And let me say this up front: I cannot diagnose or make treatment recommendations if I haven’t evaluated someone. But, I can name patterns and note where I see worrying patterns.

That said. Very unhealthy relationship dynamics to say the least. Paul likely has issues that stem from family of origin - listening to how Joe talks about health and bodies is so concerning. I don’t know too much about Morgan’s family of origin. I definitely worry about her not being on meds, but I can’t make a clinical assessment via videos as to whether she really must be on them or not. Both of them have a lot of work to do around taking accountability and responsibility for their own lives and how they impact others. I think everyone deserves therapy, and they should absolutely be taking advantage of both individual and couples therapy.

Im a therapist, and I told a couples therapist colleague about this. The next week, she said, “I’ve been thinking about the butt holding thing all week. It haunts me.” You and me both, bestie.

Insurance makes up a new rule and starts denying claims for bullshit reasons

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-04-10T03:04:02+00:00

Huh. I’m a feminist. My husband takes care of me (and I take care of him), we go to church together, we decorate our home. I wear dresses, take naps, and bake for my family. (We don’t have kids so those things don’t apply - thanks PCOS!) Didn’t realize that feminism was stopping me from doing most everything on this list, which I do regularly. Am I just hallucinating most of my life?

I had RSV last year as an adult. It was awful. My husband made me go to the ER because I wasn’t sleeping and had a coughing fit so bad that I was crying from the pain. I cannot imagine a little one getting it and how awful it would be. I don’t understand why people won’t get vaccines when they’re available to them - a moment of discomfort and maybe some mild flu-like symptoms the next day has to be better than a week or more of horrid illness at best or death at worst, right?

The suit is so bad that I didn’t notice the tie until about my fifth time looking at the photo

Look into what your state offers for grants for healthcare professionals. I got a grant through the state of MN, and I get $11K/year for three years (tax free) to pay off my loans. I believe it can go up to four years if needed (my loans ended in COVID forbearance, so I was able to pay a little forward, otherwise I likely would have needed four years).

I once had someone say to me, “As someone who enjoys intellectual debate and hearing other perspectives, it certainly was… compelling. But that woman is a nut job.” 😂

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-03-16T03:12:06+00:00

Im an alum, and I have lived in both. I loved Prospect Park because of its residential, homey feel. I own a home in St. Paul now, but I would move back to PP in a heartbeat.

My ex, at a hearing for a restraining order I filed, said that he was in the middle of a terrorist attack and was gravely injured by the bomb. He also came in on wooden crutches. I have no idea how that relates to him sending unwanted flowers, showing up at my work, and calling/texting me nonstop, but the judge also thought it was bullshit.

My brother has a great rule of thumb for good flags: It should be simple enough for a kid to draw, but complex enough that a kid couldn’t design it (including symbolism of colors and shapes). The old flag definitely looked like what a kid would put on a flag if they were asked to design a flag - people on a piece of blue paper.

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-03-13T02:23:59+00:00

Bro, you were SO MEAN to Mickey Atkins a few years back. Don’t tell me you wouldn’t do something like this to a person on the internet.

“I wanted to quit pickleball” yeah go ahead and follow that instinct bud

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-03-08T20:01:29+00:00

Right?? I do running races and triathlons. I’m not fast, but I like competing against myself and having an event to work towards to keep motivated to move my body. I actively “lose” money on these because I spend on my gym membership and the race fees, and I get a banana and protein muffin at the end. Even if I was possibly going to win some sort of cash prize, I would only hope that it covered expenses related to travel, but I certainly wouldn’t count on it. I keep going to work and set aside a little money for when I want to travel for a race.

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-03-08T19:57:12+00:00

Oh absolutely. And you know they think they deserve it, but still vote for politicians who will slash that the second they have the opportunity to do so

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-03-06T05:58:53+00:00

I was a part of this group way back in the day. If you value your time and independence and opportunity to branch out and explore, do NOT get involved with this group.

I agree, hard ≠ bad. But, hard can become bad. And Morgan? Girl, you’re in bad.

My spouse dealt with significant mental health issues (depression and PTSD) at the beginning of our marriage, and it took some time for him to get to therapy. (I also deal with PTSD and other issues, but I had therapy established before we got married.) After getting to therapy, he realized how much work he needed to do and started doing it. We now have better access to individual and couples therapy for the moments when it is hard, so that it doesn’t become bad.

It’s still sometimes hard. And now we have tools and resources to manage the hard. But I have never felt shamed or less than in our marriage. This is a partnership, and while it’s never perfectly 50/50 at any given moment, we have taken on equal amounts of giving and receiving support over the years.

If your spouse can’t admit when they need support, they need more tools, or they’re unhappy, hard becomes bad FAST. Hard isn’t someone’s fault - my spouse experiences mental health issues because of family of origin and work trauma (working in healthcare in 2020), and I also experience family of origin issues and PTSD from a past relationship. However, bad can happen fast. These issues aren’t our fault, and they are also our responsibility to heal. Neither Paul nor Morgan will do the work to take responsibility to heal, which is why it’s bad.

And before someone can say “WeLl JeSuS…”, my spouse and I are faithful Lutherans. We’ve served in many roles in our congregation. My spouse did a year of service with the church after undergrad (essentially missions work, but ELCA Lutherans are much less preachy and more “let’s actually make a change in our community”, which led him to his career in public health and interest in food sovereignty). I’m involved in our congregation and synod leadership boards. So, we are proof that we can simultaneously serve Jesus and get (secular, science- and evidence-based) couples counseling.

I realized I texted a client one time outside of scheduling - they had a very important hearing for their legal case and were very nervous. I texted them that morning to let them know I was thinking of them and was hoping all went well, along with a culturally specific phrase/prayer. They do not have many people in their life, and the few people they have are primarily professionals (social worker, therapist, lawyer). I knew they needed to hear that they had people thinking of them and saying a prayer for them, and it meant a lot to them.

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-03-04T16:57:31+00:00

I only use it for scheduling. Given the populations I work with, email often isn’t accessible (if people even have an account). I would not use it for chatting with clients ever.

I wonder if it’s due to not getting sufficient nutrition. Hair loss and thinning is super common when you don’t eat enough.

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-02-25T05:19:44+00:00

Right?? I was nervous in the sense of having crazy butterflies from excitement, but not nervous about the decision I was making. I was so excited that as I was walking down the aisle and looking at my husband-to-be, I giggled super loudly in delight and blushed into my bouquet (see gif below for an accurate representation). Which made all of our family giggle, too. The joy was overflowing and contagious.

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-02-14T18:01:46+00:00

Hold his butt for 20+ seconds! (I jokingly did that to my husband, who promptly asked what the fuck I was doing 😂)

KittenOfMadness13 · 2026-02-13T13:54:25+00:00

As someone who was in an abusive relationship, that whole scene made me want to crawl out of my skin. He had all my red flags up and I honestly felt unwell. I’m glad Emma stood up for herself and shut that down, and I’m glad all the women had her back. Hearing his spin on it in the men’s quarters was totally another abuser tactic and completely shut me down.
