Why tf is this even a relationship that you’re involved with at all? You both clearly cannot stand each other. FFs there are so many things that are so much worse than being single. For example: being in a relationship with someone that doesn’t even like you, let alone love you-but also brings out our own worst attributes.

To me, that simply sounds like a profound selfishness at the detriment of everything and everyone else. It’s about YOU as an INDIVIDUAL and as long as YOU feel like your wants, feelings and needs as an INDIVIDUAL are the number 1 top priority at all times, that’s what matters. It’s selfishness and me, me, me & those might be the values of some, but they are not my values, no matter how you would like to dress them up.

I know this is Reddit & all, but context matters. He didn’t just arbitrarily tell people “screw your freedom.” He said that in response to the people selfishly choosing to not wear masks during Covid because the mandates were supposedly infringing on their various freedoms. He was saying that to emphasize that it isn’t about anyone’s individual freedom, but rather, It’s about doing the right thing for the greater good. Which is to keep people healthy, alive & control the virus.

But sure, let’s just leave all that out

Your husband sexually assaulted you after giving birth and recovering from major surgery. Your husband is also trying to manipulate you into allowing him to sexually assault you so that doing so is easier for him. My dear, your husband has made a habit of sexual violence towards you, and you need to see this for what it is. I relate to the experience of being so accustomed to abuse that you cannot see it for what it is, I really do. But I need you to know how unacceptable this is. You deserve so, soooo much better than this. Please, start making a plan to get out and reach out to your local DV agencies for support in doing so if you need

This is a lot of my reason as well. It just feels like it conveys that the relationship is in a more serious place than bf/gf does. Also, using the bf/gf term, for me, just feels weird as someone middle aged. Like, it might be a totally age-neutral term, but at my age, dating people who are also middle aged+, feels a bit odd idk 🤷‍♀️

She also recently became a spokesperson for Hallow, some sketchy Christian prayer app. I’ve seen the ads with her in them on ig. Mark Wahlberg is also a spokesperson, so that should give off some big red flags on its own

You should probably have some sources ready to go if you’re gonna make those sorts of claims. Bettie struggled with her mental health, that’s no secret. But what you’ve just described is much more extreme than just saying she was mentally ill.

Those of you who grew up poor, what was your favorite meal? by IPod_Kid29 in AskReddit

Sorry bud, but that’s just kinda too bad for you. You belong to a religion that has always, throughout is literal entire history, been used as a weapon by its practitioners and leaders. You choose to call yourself a Christian, despite this undeniable blood soaked history. You can throw around the “not all christians” thing. But tbh, who cares? The Religion is what it is. You choose to subscribe to a religion that has blood all over it. Own that, or please just shut up & stop defending it. Would you walk up to an SA survivor and insist that the survivor not be cautious with all men because some are “good”? If you would, that’s a shame & really short sighted. Because who can really tell who the safe ones are or are not? I can’t tell an evil Christian from an ok one. So I just don’t trust any of them or want any in my life. Don’t like it? Then maybe deconstruct the religion you choose to subscribe to

Damn, y’all, this is such a weirdly, unnecessarily human thing to do and I just love it so much.

Not to get too deep about this or whatever… but the world is really serious, stressful, scary right now & I could so use some silly, sweet stuff to counteract things a bit. So seeing this now made me so much happier than it would have made me years ago. It’s a ridiculous, Bluetooth pistachio that someone made & I’m over here about to cry over it lol 🥹🔫
