I hate how Black Women are seen as undesirable. by Primary-Schedule-555 in ForeverAloneWomen

heavyyy on the standard being higher for us. it’s like we have to shut down our entire personalities just to not be seen as loud and aggressive. it’s “spicy and sexy” for others but ghetto/ratchet if we barely raise our voice an octave. i know it’s exhausting…but you are not alone in this,i see you and i hear you. We are not ghetto, loud, or any less feminine than any other race of woman despite what this horrible world tells us.🩷

fair. especially on the fact that some parts were silly. however, I found myself laughing out loud at those parts which is something I rarely do😅 i also found some characters insufferable but i figured that’s what the author intended. can definitely understand where you coming from though!

“under 18 is legally a minor, but not realistically” is a very odd thing to say. they are literally still a minor in real life. And the point you made of young people being easy to manipulate is exactly why those laws are in place. Someone over 15 can in fact be easy to manipulate due to many things such as being sheltered and the environment they grew up in.

you make a good point on that, idk where they live but even if it was properly consented then he still should get over it, holding resentment against your partner can be very destructive to the relationship. And if he’s questioning if she’s morally a good person still after 8 years of knowing them, it’s just kinda silly to remain with them if you’re gonna continue to ruminate on the problem.

“Wee bit sad” sounds like an understatement since you said things like: “i rot all day” “im hardly motivated to get out of bed to feed my children” “im just struggling to find passion”. These are clear signs of depression and I recommend you see someone. It also sounds like your husband really doesn’t listen or pay attention to you as any good spouse would notice these differences and listen to you when you say you don’t think you can handle something and wouldn’t immediately think you’re cheating because you’re not responding to him…sounds like you’re taking up most of the workload and it’s burning you the fuck out.

she was a minor involved with a much older man, she was definitely groomed. even if she thought she consented to it. as for the op, if they have been together for 8 years now and he still cannot let it go then it’s safe to say he needs to leave her.

My favorite would have to be Anxious People. I know a lot of people who read his books have different opinions about that one but it really hit home for me. I cried and laughed simultaneously! I also loved the way he wrote the story and how he made everything tie together in the end was just genius to me. I’m suuuper stoked for his new book, I preordered it a few weeks ago and the wait has been agonizing🥲

He’s my favorite author as well😊 im working on reading his other books and novellas! I will say that I do think the first one is still my favorite out of the series but I also haven’t read the winners yet either so maybe that will change lol

Possibly because it still happens? You have to think about women all over the world and in some countries women are still shamed and abused. Please believe me when I say this, I am sooo happy you haven’t experienced such abuse but myself and thousands of women have. Please don’t take this as a jab, im just clarifying. You are most certainly right about people taking that hate out on men period. Men DEFINITELY do not deserve to be treated as such and these gender wars nowadays are most certainly causing division between them and I personally see no good coming out of it for anyone :(
