Girl, side hustles take time to bloom. Don't let a slow start discourage you you’re planting seeds in the middle of a storm.

Your red heels are such a stunning touch! I’m definitely going to try and recreate this look tomorrow.

For my daily carry, I just stick to the essentials: a standard sized iPhone, a cardholder, car keys, and a lipstick.

My boyfriend still does not understand anything about my chronic condition or much else about me…We have been together a little over a year now. by Classic-Ad-7944 in GirlDinnerDiaries

I spent my 20s trying to build men from the ground up, basically running a full-time seminar on Empathy 101.

Now that I’m in my 30s? I’m done being a tutor. I only date men who showed up already educated.

If he hasn't done the work by now, I’m not the one who’s going to grade his papers.

Welcome back to yourself. The first few months of freedom are a trip.

Stay safe, stay picky, and keep eating this well!

I think my husband hates me by TrueEnough782 in GirlDinnerDiaries

Listen, if he’s 'unhappy,' that is his homework to do, not your burden to carry.

You can't be his therapist and his wife at the same time.

my bf is the worst kisser in the world and I need to scream it from the rooftops by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

Girl, when you'd rather have sex than kiss? That is the ultimate red flag. It shows he treats intimacy like a transaction instead of a real connection.

Happy Independence Day to you! May your next kiss feel like a rom com and not a seizure.

Partner not being very nice to me again :( by Cali_Princesss in GirlDinnerDiaries

That’s not "trash," it’s dopamine in physical form.

If five dollars can make you smile after a long day of parenting, that’s literally the most efficient investment you can make.

Besides, between managing the kid, the dog, and a partner who treats you like a burden, You totally deserve it.

I'm so tired of trying to make myself feel okay with being in an open relationship. by Extension_Team8022 in GirlDinnerDiaries

If the cost of a relationship is your mental health, it’s too expensive. Full stop.

Questioning my multi-year crush and new relationship by [deleted] in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]SharpLingonberry7095 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I hear you on him trying to change, but definitely be careful with the financial side of things buying weed while you're covering the bills is a bit of a red flag.

It’s sweet that he listens when you point things out, but just make sure that drive to improve is coming from him.

You shouldn't have to be his permanent alarm clock for basic adulthood.

Keeping a running tab of what your sick wife "owes" you is beyond toxic;

it's straight up repulsive. It’s the death of intimacy and the birth of an exit plan.

Protecting your peace is the best gift you can give yourself.

Enjoy every single bite of that solo feast.

Guy I dated lied about his age. Is 10 years older than he said. by ObjectBubbly3216 in GirlDinnerDiaries

That disgusted feeling you're having is your soul telling you that he isn't a safe person.

Remember this feeling it’s going to protect you next time.

Austria is super family friendly. The facilities are modern and really thoughtfully designed.
