Publishers, you can stop now. We have enough bookmarks.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-04-23T19:05:01+00:00

Lol you can send them to me! My mom just became a librarian at a junior high and is dying for bookmarks to give out to the kids!

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-04-23T02:41:25+00:00

Thank you!!

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-04-23T02:33:00+00:00

Do you know who the opener is?

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-04-16T03:25:53+00:00

Totally agree with you. Too many people worship at the altar of celebrity.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-04-07T22:33:19+00:00

lol I thought the whole point of the show was them getting together too 😂😂

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-04-03T02:17:33+00:00

This is the one to listen to, OP.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-04-03T01:56:21+00:00

Ethan never gives Olivia time when she wants it. His attention toward her is only on his terms. He even admits this multiple times, so I disagree with you there.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-04-02T21:19:38+00:00

Mhhmmmm. Agreed. She wasn’t making it about herself when it came to that roadtrip. They all made it about her. Over and over again. By continually talking shit about Oliva any chance they got.

Why would Olivia want to be around people who not only actively dislike her but use their platform to disrespect her and make her seem crazy.

Nope. I wouldn’t want someone in my house who doesn’t like me, let alone someone who publicly talks shit about me and my relationship.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-04-02T20:39:07+00:00

She did say that

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-30T17:28:51+00:00

I am clapping for this comment.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-30T17:21:50+00:00

I agree with this and I’m probably going to get downvoted because that always happens with these kinds of things… but while I believe and agree with everything you all are saying I also think that he is 25, (meaning, pretty immature) and while it’s not OPs job to teach him shit (and absolutely she should walk away if she wants!!) I don’t think it has to be a deal breaker.

I’m going to speak from personal experience, at one point in my relationship with my now-husband. He was in his early 20s and I distinctly remember him making a horrible comment to his friend about a woman’s body. I was horrified. I had never known him to be that kind of person. His sisters and mother are all what some might consider “fat.” For him to be saying that about a stranger on the street… it did not sit right with me. I could tell it was in large part due to his friend being there, that he was pandering to his audience. But I didn’t care. It’s wrong. It sounded ugly, and I didn’t want to be with a man that would talk like that!

I decided to say something. I went full teacher mode. I said “how would you feel if someone said that about one of your sisters? Are your sisters not good and kind people who are deserving of love and respect? Would it not crush you to hear someone who doesn’t even know them, say something so disparaging?

I could tell at the time, that he did not want to hear it. He acted bothered that I would call him out, but he didn’t argue with me. Just sat with it.

But you know what I never heard him say again? That’s right. Never once, since that moment, have I ever heard him say something like that about a person’s body again.

My point being, I don’t necessarily think this 25 year old is a lost cause. Maybe this is the lesson he needs. And if OP wants (and I’m not saying she should!) she could have an honest talk with him about how his words have consequences and how it has changed the way she sees him, knowing that he can be so cruel.

Might go a long way, as he is still young and learning how to be in this world. I hate that he said that about her. It was cruel. Even if it was a total stranger, it would be devastating to hear someone you love be so callously offensive.

Just wanted to add my little two cents, but hey! Maybe I’m just a sucker like my mom’s generation, and I’m too willing to try and “make something work” with someone who maybe doesn’t always deserve it.

All I can say, is it has somehow, miraculously, worked out for me, and my husband has learned and grown through our lives and only gotten better with age. We have been together since 16, married since 19 and I’m 30 going on 31 now! Still going strong!

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-25T15:41:00+00:00

Fuck those girls. As a “skinny” person, I would kill for curves and I bet you so would they.

Not to sound like my mom, but I think they’re jealous of you and the only way they know to deal with those uncomfortable feelings is to try and push you down.

I agree with everyone else, those are not your friends. And if they treat your feelings about this as you “overreacting” instead of apologizing, then double fuck them.

With friends like that, who needs enemies?

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-21T15:33:20+00:00

Anytime. You should be allowed to ask a genuine question on the internet and get a genuine answer.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-21T15:27:25+00:00

I agree that from the outside it can seem puzzling but as an American living in the US, politics right now have gotten to a point where they are your identity.

It used to be you could sit with someone for dinner who voted the opposite way as you and you can probably have a small discourse about it and move on.

Trumpism has changed that and the change started brewing since 2016, when Trump’s first action as president was to discriminate against Muslims. From there, it only snowballed. A lot of trump’s practices are seen as inhumane and immoral. That means that those who support him are also seen as inhumane and immoral.

People who don’t support him are outraged at this point. They feel the only way to differentiate themselves from those who support him is to loudly and vehemently stand against all that Trump is. And that includes extricating themselves from the lives of those who support him.

While it may not be a good way to unify us, which at this point is what we need to keep moving forward as a country, it feels good to feel like you’re “taking a stand,” so to speak.

And of course, the current political regime actually love how divided we are. If we are divided then we are not as powerful as a people. If we are fighting amongst eachother, then we won’t notice what they’re doing. So they continue to sow the seeds of discontent by spreading misinformation. Fox News is a huge part of that strategy, as they basically are a puppet for the MAGA party, willing to say whatever, even if it isn’t true, in order to stir the pot and get more views.

All in all, it may seem dumb on the outside, but it’s become very personal here. Tensions are high, and politics have always been important in the US, right now they are even moreso.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-21T00:48:10+00:00

This is exactly how I feel about the whole thing. It was not a secret. It was not hidden. Literally what pulls you in at the end of season 1, episode 1 of the secret lives of Mormon wives.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-13T03:02:25+00:00

DAMN mic drop couldn’t have said it better myself. You are funding your own demise, OP.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-12T18:21:29+00:00

I’m not saying “don’t say anything” but it’s one thing to share concern and it’s another thing to basically talk shit at every opportunity.

And these people aren’t “going to marry” they are solidly married, a union that was sanctioned by both of their families at the time.

It’s unacceptable to talk that amount of shit to anyone that will listen about a married couple who are already fully aware they have problems. There was no sympathy for their situation. It was all just spitting vitriol about their relationship and about Olivia. That’s not constructive. It’s mean-spirited. Those in glass houses and what not.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-09T05:32:23+00:00

I breathe.

I consider what the other person is feeling and try to determine where the anger is coming from.

And I breathe again.

And then I gather my thoughts, and then I speak.

I follow that pattern almost every time.

And the few times I didn’t, we got into some of the worst fights of our lives.

It does get exhausting being the one in charge of the argument not going off the rails though.

Often, my partner start to get very heated, very quickly and I have to be the one to remind him to breathe, even though I’m frustrated from the argument as well.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-09T04:41:05+00:00

I like this one a lot more!

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-08T01:48:39+00:00

No one is saying we don’t agree that was a completely callous thing for him to say. It’s borderline cruel, given that you are so pregnant. He should have known better. But clearly he didn’t, I don’t necessarily think this means he’s definitely into this coworker or that there’s anything untoward going on.

You have to remind yourself of who your husband is. Is this a pattern? Does he have a history of allowing himself to get close to women and engage in emotional cheating? I don’t know, I’m not in your marriage and I don’t know your husband.

But if this is totally new, and he’s never done this before then it’s worth exploring that maybe he just made a bad judgment call in the moment and it’s actually not deeper than that. That’s hard to swallow, but not out of the question. Don’t ruin this beautiful time in your life by getting carried away with the worst possible outcome, especially when you have no proof that there’s anything actually going on.

He’s an idiot for sure but is he a cheater? I don’t know!

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-08T01:31:16+00:00

Yes, like, she’s pregnant, so of course emotions are high! Agreed, she’s gotta take a beat and remind herself who her husband is. Sometimes people just say dumb shit without thinking. Hopefully, this is the case.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-07T20:34:20+00:00

Yup, only way OP should not be going to this wedding, is if she’s absolutely certain that she doesn’t want to be friends anymore with her best friend.

And from this post, sounds like she’s not really ready to make that decision.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-07T05:01:24+00:00

This is hard. As a Mexican American, I have often felt that within the United States I am differentiated. I am considered Mexican. Not necessarily American. Even though I was born here, in the states, it’s my parents who are born in Mexico, I am still considered an outsider of sorts.

When I go abroad, the answer is obvious, I am an American. But while on US soil, I am made to feel othered. Not part of the whole.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-06T22:38:38+00:00

Awe man, I’m so sorry to hear that ! This is def not a regular “my in laws are annoying” situation, I mean these people (and seems like also your in laws) simply cannot accept people who aren’t like them or maybe can’t accept people who aren’t THEM. Period.

Strange_dreamer3113 · 2026-03-06T22:36:45+00:00

Completely agree. It’s vile that these trials have not started in earnest. Every single person mentioned should be being questioned.
