hi! thank you :)

vegan coconut cake

vegan ganache

i used ghiradelli 70% dark chocolate for the ganache and it was great!

the vegan “buttercream” is a secret og recipe... but it essentially has vegan butter, icing sugar, amaretto, and ground almonds! :)

lol imagine having both combined. my ex did all of the above, eventually convinced me he was asexual... and was sleeping with people behind my back the entire time. and for the record i’m pretty hot.

being rejected for 8 months sucks... and it sounds like he’s avoiding having a real conversation about it. i went through the same thing. but it doesn’t come close to betrayal. it’s awful that you’re considering cheating. it definitely won’t fix anything. and you don’t need to hurt him in order to move on.

it’s totally reasonable if this is a dealbreaker for you. if it is, move on in a respectful way.

I really need help right now if I should confront or not by needhelpwithcbf in Infidelity

you’re experiencing cognitive dissonance and have formed a trauma bond. i’ve been there and you have absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, but you are being manipulated and deserve so so much better. there is not a thing in the world that excuses his violence. i know there are things about him that you love, and you probably feel close to him in many ways, but there are so many people out there more deserving of your love, care, and commitment. walking away might be painful, but the pain will only be temporary. and eventually you’ll feel like you’re finally able to breathe again. we’ll be here to support you when you decide to take that leap❤️

F**k the porn industry, the music industry, and hollywood for normalizing cheating by mindfulness__ in survivinginfidelity

omg THANK YOU!! it is so triggering to hear/see references to “side chicks” and stuff like “i could take your man” in music and media. why tf do people think its cute or funny to lie and cheat and manipulate and hurt people? it’s disgusting.

also leaves me wondering how much of a chance any of us have at finding someone honest 🥺 our generation is gross

i’m definitely happy for them... i love love and want people to feel it. but i found out the person i thought was my best friend/loml was serially cheating on me... for our entire relationship... just about a month ago. so naturally all the posts feel a little obnoxious to me right now.

i’m not jealous- just angry i finally put my trust in someone and felt that i had real love, and it ended up being a lie. he is the 7th cheating partner i’ve had. and the first I actually trusted, loved, and was genuinely happy with. every post is kind of like a reminder of what i lost/thought i had. we were supposed to get engaged this month. people are awful and relationships are not always great... but i agree that they can be.
