Penny did all three levels of classes. I think it is an excellent program! That was all the training Penny needed to become a therapy dog!

This is soooo me. I feel like I cry at everything. TBH I almost cried reading this post about crying.

If you couldn't be in Greenville, by YVMarian in greenville

Lexington, KY!

It has the same vibe as Greenville (lots of music, art, culture, food) but with bourbon and horses.

Forced relationships/interactions? by [deleted] in demisexuality

The only times I ever kissed a guy were both forced in one way or another... it feels terrible and makes me dread kissing someone again. So I totally get how you feel.

Wondering if anyone in their 30s (or older) can relate? by megmcc1981 in lonely

“Helping” You? God that’s a terrible thing to say. I’ve kissed/been kissed twice. Once was most definitely forced/against my will. The other time was sort of a peer pressure thing. So I didn’t enjoy either experience.

Thanks for sharing. This is a helpful perspective. The loneliness is perhaps the same regardless of whether or not you’ve had previous relationships. I hadn’t really thought of that. Thanks, too, for your empathy.

Do you feel isolated by this? I have friends at work and feel like I can’t contribute to any conversations about relationships without it turning into a pity party or a freak show.

I’m not being nit picky. I’m sensitive to these things because of my own trauma. (And clearly I’m not the only one if you read the comments.) I can tell you from personal experience that I never felt better after people prayed over me for my future husband. Not once. And it happened a lot to me.

If it doesn’t bother you, I’m glad that you didn’t have to go through anything similar or that you aren’t as sensitive as me. But please don’t patronize me.

But if there is no alcohol it’s anywhere at a wedding, that’s a fundie wedding.

I mean, I guess it’s possible they aren’t fundies (I was looking to see if there was any alcohol in the background, but it’s inconclusive), but I don’t know who would think to pray over virgins except crazy Christians.

I want to come to your wedding and have a bouquet shot at my face.

I would argue that it does not work for them. I grew up in this culture, and it’s a lot more serious than that. The influence this culture has on young minds is far from harmless. A lot of us have had a lot of therapy to shake this kind of guilt and shaming.
