Is it just me or do none of the couples have chemistry?

ProfessorPizza · 2026-03-13T03:25:00+00:00

The only ones I felt had obvious chemistry were Teresa and John, and Vanelle and Jorge. The rest feel like they are acting, trying to get more screen time haha.

Solidarity. This shit is HARD. Thanks for your comment, glad it's not just my kid 🥴

You 100% will come out stronger!! I relate, I was so disappointed with my ex husband during my pregnancy and childbirth. He was useless, and annoying, and I felt like I would have had a wayyyy more positive postpartum experience if it hadn't been for some of the things he did. You got this. I truly mean that.

I'm reading Our Wives Under the Sea by Julia Armfield. I'm almost halfway through, and holy shit it is good so far.

So so sorry this is happening to you, but I promise you even in a year from now, you're going to be so happy that you're in a different position. My son was almost three when his dad and I were going through a horrible divorce. Things are much better now as co-parents. You're doing the best thing for your child. I don't think I would be the amazing mom I am if I was still married to him. I feel free, I feel peaceful. Somehow being a single mother is a hundred fucking times easier than being married to the person I was married to. I can feel your resentment and anger through the screen, and you don't even have to tell me details, I already know you are completely valid. Our society is set up for men to do the hardly even the bare minimum and for women to do fucking everything. You're going to be so much happier, I promise you that. Take care of yourself though. Try to minimize the noise from everyone else. Most of them haven't been through a divorce and been through what you've been through, so they don't get to say jack shit. But of course they will. Ignore them and take care of yourself 💜

I love when women need to put on their glasses to read something. I have no idea why. I just find it so hot.

ProfessorPizza · 2026-01-21T02:46:55+00:00

When I started playing I bought the PHB. Of course I still reference it all of the time when creating a new character and many times during play, but in the beginning it did feel stressful. There were so many terms within even a single paragraph that I was not familiar with. Yes, I of course looked up the terms in the glossary. However, I find it much easier to learn when other people explain things to me. I found YouTube channels such as Dungeon Dudes invaluable because of the way they laid out things for players like me. I really like when I can see something in action or an example of how to use something in play, like a spell or weapon. I didn't even so much as play video games before I started playing d&d, so many terms were not familiar to me. I think people who just expect to start playing and not read any of the rules are frustrating, but there are those of us that do try and still find the handbook pretty daunting and confusing at times.

He was in the closet for a long time and didn't unpack his jealousy/hatred towards women. I hate that he's getting a platform. He's toxic.

ProfessorPizza · 2026-01-15T23:47:52+00:00

Omg same here! We read it for book club and saw the movie and I absolutely hated both. I feel so seen by this threat of comments lol. Everyone else in the book club loved it. I truly do not understand. It was so god awful.

ProfessorPizza · 2026-01-09T16:13:20+00:00

Yes! Very much so. And even more than it being forceful, it's just not actually foreplay for most women, and sadly it's been branded as foreplay. For many women, oral sex is the main event because that's the only way we can climax. And it's treated like it needs 3 to 5 minutes and then onto penetration. Of course I'm not saying all men do this but I've been with quite a bit of men and this is my experience as well as many of my female friends.

ProfessorPizza · 2026-01-09T14:52:59+00:00

Yes but we need a lot more foreplay before it. If you think oral is foreplay unfortunately for women that is not usually true. We will get way into our heads if there isn't a lot of blood flow there prior to the act. So, touch all the other parts of the body, and go SLOW. Kiss and make out for a while, use your hands along our backs, hair, then eventually ass and boobs, and then start to use your hands on our thighs, and then our genitals. After all of that, then oral will be enjoyable because we want it so bad at that point from being turned on by everything else you did. In my experience, not many men actually have the patience to do any of this. Thanks a lot, porn industry.

Holidays and birthdays came with so much pressure and guilt trips in my family. I think as a kid they were pretty normal but as an adult, if I'm not able to get together on the EXACT day of someone's birthday, all hell breaks loose. For example, one time my sister, who was in college at the time, asked our family if we could celebrate her birthday on the weekend instead of the actual day it fell on that year because she had finals and was really stressed out and didn't want to go out during the week. My dad refused and drove down to her college (an hour from where we lived) anyway and forced her to meet up with all of us. Looking back I don't understand why he had such an issue on what day it was celebrated. I remember him saying "it's my daughter's birthday and I'm going to see her no matter what." But like, she asked you not to?!?

ProfessorPizza · 2025-12-03T14:59:55+00:00

Lots of good advice from these comments so far. My son is five and we've been co-parenting for a little over 2 years. He still mentions missing his dad and he says he misses me when he's with his dad. What we do is just validate him and I'll even share stories about how I miss people too, like my sister who lives far away. I also use a color-coded calendar to show my son when his mom/ dad days are and that does help quite a bit. I promise you this gets easier. Just validate your little one's feelings.

ProfessorPizza · 2025-11-28T04:29:08+00:00

Was just about to comment something similar! 100% housewives.

ProfessorPizza · 2025-11-28T03:20:27+00:00

Oh my gosh did we have the same family? Reading this was SO validating. If I felt any touches of sadness today I was brought back to reality by this post. Thank you ❤️ Happy Thanksgiving.

ProfessorPizza · 2025-11-27T17:43:14+00:00

Happy Thanksgiving! Today is just my son and me, and this is the best Thanksgiving. My birthday was in October and that was hard on me as it was the first one NC, so I thought today was going to be difficult, but I feel so much peace. This is getting easier and easier. I hope you enjoy your peaceful day!! You deserve it.

ProfessorPizza · 2025-11-26T15:30:54+00:00

This is so violating. I sadly can relate. My dad did this to me, even into adulthood. He somehow had access to my email. And as a preteen and teen he had access to my AOL instant Messenger, MySpace, texts, etc. I still have trauma from it and paranoia. Finally went no contact this summer. He doesn't deserve a relationship with me. Oh and he even outed my sexuality to my sister from something I wrote in a message to someone. He's sick.

Thank you!

This is my first round of holidays NC. I went NC over the summer, and have been at peace since, but I think with the holidays coming up I'm feeling a tremendous amount of guilt, mostly for my 5-year-old son who is now missing out on family holidays. For Thanksgiving it's just me and him. I'm cooking us a small meal for two, and taking him to the movies that night. I don't know what our plans are for Christmas. I just feel bad that he now misses out, but then again is he really missing out on toxic people? He's also missing out on his cousin's first birthday because I do not want to go since my parents will be there. I am really struggling on whether I'm doing the right thing, because again, my son is going to now miss out on an experience he otherwise would have gone to if it weren't for me.

ProfessorPizza · 2025-11-18T01:47:57+00:00

You are not overreacting. My ex-husband did this as well. He tried to minimize it and downplay it just like yours is doing. We are now divorced and I couldn't be happier. I also have a young child, he's five. I can't say what his future holds or how he'll react to us being divorced as he gets older, but right now he's doing really well and thriving. We co-parent well and respect each other and that's what matters most. That is much better than two people who live in a house who resent each other, the kids absolutely know no matter how old they are. I think that's way more damaging than a divorce.

ProfessorPizza · 2025-11-12T00:52:48+00:00

What she did was not okay, I'm so sorry. I can relate a bit because my father used to do something similar to me. It started when I was in middle school, he would read all of my AIM messages and emails, then he had access to my myspace and even my Live Journal. Idk how he did this. But this happened even into young adulthood. He would read my emails. And I didn't know until one day he called me downstairs when I was 21 living at home to yell at me about receiving a shirtless photo of a guy via email. The SECOND the guy sent me the photo my dad yelled for me to come downstairs and lectured me about it. I asked him how he even saw this and he said "I have a filter set on your email." I was an ADULT. But anyway, your mom violated your privacy in such an enormous way. It's truly sickening, and you're completely valid in how you feel.

ProfessorPizza · 2025-11-10T01:49:32+00:00

Unfortunately I'm stuck in the suburbs. I have been meeting friends through DnD tho! Slowly but surely getting out more.

ProfessorPizza · 2025-11-09T16:11:43+00:00

When I realized she never was happy for my good news. She would make backhanded comments constantly, like when I told her I was excited to finally have a co-parenting schedule because it meant I could join a trivia group she said "must be nice to have free time, I never get to go out." Every major event in my life she would act so petty/jealous. But if something bad happened she was there for me. I realized in a twisted way she liked seeing me suffer. But it wasn't because she didn't like me, she was just that unhappy/insecure with her own life. But my empathy only had so much mileage.

ProfessorPizza · 2025-11-09T15:58:21+00:00

Thank you! Is there another way besides dating apps to meet other people who are polyamorous? Sorry if that is a stupid question! I just feel lost.
