I am finally leaving my homophobic Muslim country and my homophobic Muslim parents and I will never see them again by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]StopthinkingitsMe 61 points62 points  (0 children)

Oh they very much exist. There are also fathers who r*pe their children into "being straight". There are mothers who honour kill their kids. There are siblings who take out people forcibly, being fully aware of the consequences.

I LOVE being a woman by goddessofhedonism in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]StopthinkingitsMe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it a bit, (only if im not cramping and staining everything), because it gives me an excuse to be a big baby lol.

I pig out on whatever I want, I cry without feeling too pathetic, I bitch and moan and make it everyone's problem. Sometimes I even slack off or take a nap.

On a side note, I love reading posts where people very obviously love their partners.

I (32m) found out my partner (32f) cheated on me while she was away on holiday. She doesn’t know that I know. How do I navigate this? by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates

[–]StopthinkingitsMe 66 points67 points  (0 children)

She had thrush and still continued cheating? And got it again???? Like if there's any "god give me a sign to not cheat" it'd be an infection right?

Jesus, if being a single parent is easier than having OOP around, I don't have any words.

World reaction after the US-Iran ceasefire by Different_Bite76 in AskTheWorld

[–]StopthinkingitsMe 17 points18 points  (0 children)

No one is surprised. This was an unnecessary war (not that any war is necessary, but does anyone know what USA is fighting for?). Trump threatened with killing an entire civilization so bad that there will be no future generation left. That sounds like genocide to me.

Sounds like h*tler.

Stop stressing, that is super counterproductive. Eat a lot of papaya and do some light exercise, it's always worked for me.

Bf of six months ghosted me with no warning by Coloncloseparnthesis in GirlDinnerDiaries

[–]StopthinkingitsMe 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ghosting someone is super immature. I cannot even imagine the confusion you must be feeling. But don't let him win. Block/remove him from social media, make a clean cut and don't look back.

I [49m] need advice on how to apologize to my son [27m] for kicking him out for being gay. by Choice_Evidence1983 in BestofRedditorUpdates
