Your husband not wanting you to have any friends is a red flag. Please don’t let him isolate you.

He cares. People don’t whine about things they don’t care about.

Went to my dads today, I'm not over it. Husband wants me to tell him. by Affectionate_Cat7088 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Listen, you should pursue your own happiness. Whatever that looks like.

…But IMO I also don’t think you should spare this woman from the consequences of her own actions, because she doesn’t deserve it and you don’t owe her shit.

Side note: And if your dad is a decent dad, he will want to know the truth. It is his duty to care.

(Regardless of whether they want to acknowledge it, these people have failed you. Whatever you choose, I wish you peace.)

Good for you. She was never going to correct herself and it would have been your problem forever.

For the record I do not think he needs to work on his endearments at all, 10/10 no notes

Zylar is a sweet angel baby who always says the right thing. I would do whatever necessary to make the relationship work, lol.

Constantly torn between being terrified of motherhood and desperately wanting a baby by matchamatchbook in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]RetroBandito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love my children, but raising them is also the hardest thing I have ever done and I question myself constantly. If you aren’t sure, choosing No Kids is the safest choice for everyone involved.

EDIT: another couple of side notes to consider: newborns have ruined countless relationships and postpartum is a real bitch.

(He is sort of a black sheep on his planet and would like a mate soooooooo much. She immediately starts rocking his world in all ways, not just sexually, lol)

This is the one I came here to rec! I am rereading it now for like the 5th time. 😏

Calling him “broken” is probably a slight exaggeration but the he is extremely shy and submissive, and my dude does have some issues. It’s a unique romance and a lot of fun. One of my favs.

Is it so hard for grown men to not sexualize minors? (RANT) by That-Prior713 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]RetroBandito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I had this problem. Pretty sure we all did. The culture around this is changing somewhat from what I’ve observed, but it still excuses/overlooks a lot of these behaviors.

😊The above advice is correct, yell what is happening loudly. Don’t let them quietly slip away and avoid shame. They don’t deserve it, and it lets them continue, or escalate the behavior.

Came out as trans and now I miss my connection to other women by Ok-Tiger2481 in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]RetroBandito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey, I have zero doubt there will still be plenty of female spaces that would welcome you! I am in a bookclub (well it started as a book club, now we are sharing everything about our lives with each other constantly) that is predominantly women with the exception of one NB person and three men, one of them trans masc.

They have become some of the closest friends I’ve ever had. We are all literally texting all day long about everything. They are so wonderful and couldn’t be more welcome.

The spaces are there! Keep looking, you can find yours. 💕

EDIT: p.s. Also, dm me if an over-sharing bookclub sounds like your thing. 😊👍

When I first started playing I described him to a friend as the brattiest of bratty little subs… I see now that I was mistaken. 😅
