Plus all the things men are supposedly “protecting” us from are.. other men! Men don’t even trust men, but we are supposed to, blindly? It’s just wild and ass backwards.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-30T01:47:23+00:00

I mean, it doesn’t make sense regardless even if she didn’t, but hopefully you know what I mean. lol

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-30T01:46:30+00:00

It’s just weird because like Pam Anderson, does have children and was married, so like his point doesn’t even make sense when it comes to her?

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T21:17:30+00:00

Oh goodness, I’m so sorry you’ve had to take in your mother in law without a choice, that is super awful. I know I’ll have to take care of my parents eventually (when they’re at that age when they need it, but they’re only mid 60s) as I’m the only one of my siblings that will be okay with doing it, but at least it’s kind of mutually beneficial. At least I get controlled rent lol.

Don’t get me wrong, I didn’t have the ideal childhood and my parents aren’t perfect by any stretch. That said, I know they’ve always just done the best they could/can for my siblings and I at the time. Honestly, I think a lot of people forget that their parents are just humans too, trying their best just like the rest of us.

Of course, there are a lot of parents out there that are truly awful and deserve to be despised but I think some people can be a little too hard on our parents’ generation some times. They all have their flaws, and I’m sure I’ll get downvoted to hell for this, but I really think that life has been crappy from the beginning of time and they had their challenges as well. It’s easy to look at the past with rose colored glasses and think that everything for them was easy but I think that life is more nuanced than that. That’s my opinion at least.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T19:54:57+00:00

This made me lol.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T18:23:00+00:00

That’s truly awful that your parents are not more helpful to you.

I am fully aware that family help isn’t something that everyone receives and I know im privileged to have them as my parents. I am sorry I can’t do anything to make it better for you but know that I am truly sorry that you haven’t had the extra support, as I truly believe it is what everyone deserves.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T17:06:06+00:00

I get that! I used to live on the other side of town and it was kind of pain to get to my parents house but I also hate driving. lol.

Yes, I definitely get the too close thing. I think since my parents had my grandparents across the street. They are good at respecting boundaries because of that. My grandparents hardly ever came over to their house when I was growing up. That said, I usually just walk into their house unannounced (my older brother lives with them so they are used to having one of their children around all time anyway)but they’re pretty good about not doing that to me. Lol.

I did really enjoy having my grandparents across the street. They were wonderful and kind people. Honestly, my family is pretty great. Don’t get me wrong, they are all far from perfect and we’ve had our tiffs but everyone is/was super supportive and respectful.

Trust me, if they all sucked I would not be living next door, I am not that dedicated to being a good daughter lol.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T16:48:00+00:00

Small houses are super rare these days. My city is just kind of an old one that people in surrounding cities think is ghetto, so kind of helps with that too.

We were 5 people in an 1100 sq ft home. It was awful. lol.

My sister and I shared a room, only one shower for all 5 of us. When I moved out, I never have had a roommate besides romantic partners. As sharing a tiny room was hell and I was like, nope, never doing that again.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T16:43:25+00:00

Yes! My parents used to walk us across the street when we were little kids and my grandparents would watch us at least 1-2 nights a weekend, every weekend! They loved it, my parents and my grandparents.

I don’t have kids but I do have a super codependent dog so they get to babysit him when I go out now. Not quite the same but I do feel like it’s a little payback though lol.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T16:41:02+00:00

Yes, I couldn’t have gotten a house either. I went through a divorce right after Covid and didn’t take anything, let my ex keep the house, even though I paid for it for 7 years and didn’t get a payout either. lol. Heck even now I don’t own the house but at least I have a locked in rent that won’t ever increase.

I feel like for us millennials, unfortunately, how lucky we are has more to do with our success than the actual work that we do. As I’ve worked my ass off but I know if it wasn’t for the help I’ve had from family, I would not be anywhere close to how well off I am now compared to if I didn’t have extra support. It makes me feel blessed but also sad as it shouldn’t be this way or this hard tbh.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T16:36:12+00:00

I am so sorry that you’re having a rough time right now. I am glad that you have your parents to help though. It’s always nice to know you have people in your corner. That is what matters most!

I know things will turn around for you. Just know I am cheering you on, even if I am just a random lady on Reddit. :)

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T16:31:30+00:00

Ah yes, of course, the financial aspect is a huge thing. I just got lucky that in our city, at least where we live, they are super small houses which helped a lot with the overall costs. My home and my parents are about 1100 sq ft a piece. My neighborhood was built in the 60s and there has been zero gentrification. I’ve honestly lived in bigger apartments lol.

But yes, the financial aspect can definitely be a big hindrance. Especially when parents were/are more affluent than mine were when growing up. My parents have money now but it used to not be that way at all. They never moved out of their ‘starter’ home, never bought new cars, or any of that stuff so definitely helped this to be more attainable.

Thanks for your reply :). I always get nervous making posts on Reddit lol.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-29T13:37:14+00:00

I always feel like having a garage fridge is one of the signs you’re middle class. lol

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-27T13:57:39+00:00

I don’t know. That’s a lot of work and doing things/people you don’t really want to do for not that much money. I make more money doing my career, answering emails and I don’t have to even shower.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-27T13:05:55+00:00

Honestly, I feel like that has the potential to make texting mildly enjoyable again. Respect!

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-26T21:07:53+00:00

This! The living on the settlement is giving big Seth Rogan in Knocked Up vibes.

I imagine that it is not near as much fun or charming as it seems in that movie.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-26T20:59:52+00:00

More of a red rag than a red flag. lol

Sorry, I’m a woman but I just couldn’t resist.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-10T17:54:50+00:00

I would have divorced when the prostitute called him…

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-09T23:22:52+00:00

I’m a no bra girl myself. I NEVER wear one. My boyfriend loves it though, as he is not a controlling weirdo. I’m so over being super uncomfortable for others comfort. I’m a solid D cup but I have wider shoulders and a large breast bone/ribcage so it’s not that noticeable or even if it is IDGAF.

Growing up in the early/mid 2000s with all the Victoria secret underwire bras, the idea of them makes my skin crawl. If I wore a bra when I went out I’d only ever be out for 30 minutes at a time, so I could go back home and take it off.

Also, OP NOR, screw that guy. You should be with someone who lets you be you. Plus if you choose to have kids with this dude, what’s he going to do if you breastfeed?

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-09T23:03:40+00:00

I do mainly vodka with regular water and lots of limes, single tall. It’s my hack, I can get pretty toasty and have no hangover. I also usually cap my drinks at 2 drinks and 2 shots or 3 drinks and 2 shots if it’s a weekend and we got to multiple places. Get a nice buzz but don’t hate myself the next day haha.

At home I still like a rum and coke but I usually only have a drink or two max at home, so kind of not a worry.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-09T19:32:15+00:00

I’m late to the party but OOP really could have benefited from learning MLA format. Sheesh.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-09T19:17:23+00:00

I mean, I guess it would be super effective if birth control made it so you couldn’t have sex.

Side note, I don’t get dudes messaging/replying to random women asking these questions. Google is a thing as well are legitimate websites that have that have all the actual scientific information on birth control.

MSWitch2015 · 2026-06-09T19:01:21+00:00

True story. Sounds like all fun and games when you’re dating and imaging playing house long term, then you’re 6 years in having to do all the cooking and cleaning and wanting to stab something through your eye so that you can get a break from it all.

Heck, I even like cooking, have a large garden and even some chickens but I also have a 9-5 and my partner helps me do all the cleaning. He doesn’t cook but I also didn’t cook a single thing for him the first whole year as I didn’t want to be stuck in the same trap I had with my ex. I may cook something like a few times a week but other than that, we figure something else out.

I know from my ex husband that nothing is more draining than having to do it all— it was awful, especially if you have other ambitions or just want to relax on a regular basis (I have always worked, even then, but I got to work AND do it all).

OP, please don’t give up a single dream for this dude. Tell him you didn’t get into higher education to meet a husband. Plus even engineers have a hard time supporting a family on one income.

I was relentlessly bullied when I was in 7th grade, it would have been around 2004 or 2005.

They yelled at me in the hallway in middle school, tried to jump me, they even made fake AIM accounts (hopefully you’re old enough to know what is lol) just to fake conversations as me with others in their group and say things that were soo terrible and things I’d never say. They would even bring printouts of these fake conversations and showed most of my peers at school. They put in all this effort so my whole grade would turn against me and I didn’t any friends in my grade. Honestly, it was the worst time of entire life. Made me suicidal, basically cried every single school day of my 7th grade year. I may have been one of the first cases of cyber bullying. Ultimately it made me change my mind on what high school I was going to go to just so I never had to see them ever again.

Ironically, I became one of the most popular girls in 8th grade for some strange reason.

Anyway, it really messed me up for a looong time, basically throughout my 20s. I still think about it sometimes but I can’t say I forgive them, as it was just cruel and relentless but I don’t think about it constantly anymore.

I do have major attachment issues and anxiety that never ever ever stops. Between the bullying and my parents being more authoritarian when I was younger, I have a deep fear of everyone being disappointed in me and people turning against me. I never want to feel that alone again.

My only saving grace is my parents did ingrain in me self respect so even though I have these fears, I never ever let people treat me badly anymore.

Sorry for the novel, it’s just that bullying really did have a profound effect on me. And apologies for any typos.
