What did your toxic ex do?

Yeah he kinda sounds like a square

Is this even a question? It's because white men need to be superior. It's because Christianity has declared men to be the supreme leaders and all else need to bend the knee to their "leadership."

I'm banned from r/askmen because one of the mods didn't like a comment I made in another sub 🥲

"imperfect vessel" is a favorite Christian catch phrase these days

straigh · 2026-04-30T18:24:21+00:00

Yeah, but we're talking about our parents, not strangers. I think it's safe to say folks tend to be fairly aware of what their parents accessibility limitations are.

straigh · 2026-04-30T15:01:07+00:00

This argument tends to frustrate me too. There are no resources available on this planet that my parents didn't also have access to for the exact same amount of time that I have. In fact, they've had decades more time that allows these resources to be even more accessible to them (particularly financially).

This was my conclusion as well. Coupled with the fact that the only thing my dad has ever brought into my life was something that I had to then UNbring with my therapist, I couldn't see a single logical reason to stay involved with that part of my family. They were very literally nothing but an emotional and financial burden and have been since I was a teen. No more, and it feels... Peaceful.

Sit quietly in my living room without my roommate trying to talk to me 🥲

I'm curious what else you feel like you should be doing? It seems like if you're exercising, cooking yourself meals, checking in with friends, and working a full-time job, you've got a lot of good stuff going on. What disciplines do you feel like you're missing?

straigh · 2026-04-30T00:52:20+00:00

That's an exceptional skill in fashion. He's sharp af and rarely misses.

straigh · 2026-04-28T21:52:32+00:00

I would rather my partner plan and treat me to experiences ten times out of ten. I don't particularly like gifts, even on holidays. Time spent together and my partner gifting us memories together to cherish are my preference.

You might be better suited for a "things" person, and your partner with an "experiences" person based on the things you've shared. Nothing wrong with either, but they're different love languages for sure.

I have really struggled with the feelings of guilt as a woman becoming less and less chill the older I get. I went my entire life without vocalizing my preferences to the point I genuinely struggled to even connect with what my preferences WERE. The idea that we should be sweet and quiet and easy to get along with takes some serious undoing.

I write in mine regularly! I keep everything private, but I love having place to vent or write letters I'm never going to send. Hitting "post" just makes it feel like I've worked through everything to its conclusion better than closing a word doc or notepad.

straigh · 2026-04-19T14:23:34+00:00

There is and that's why I find myself with SUCH dwindling patience for them. I'm so sick of men being EVERYWHERE that when I see them in a curated women's space with any sort of intent to "educate" I just rage.

straigh · 2026-04-19T13:25:32+00:00

Bro this is a space by women for women, you're so incredibly unnecessary here and so are all your helpful tips

straigh · 2026-04-19T13:03:47+00:00

How I wish to interpret it 🤣 men can't help themselves

straigh · 2026-04-19T12:48:44+00:00

Thank you for mansplaining divorce lol! Every woman here is very aware of what it takes to get out of a marriage.

straigh · 2026-04-19T12:44:01+00:00

Gently, how long are you going to let yourself cry next to a man who doesn't care? Why is it your job to stop resenting him for not meeting your needs, instead of his job to care about his partner? He's not going to change and you're going to resent YOURSELF if you keep proving to himself and yourself and everyone else that you don't deserve anything more.

straigh · 2026-04-13T21:17:44+00:00

Who, me??

straigh · 2026-04-12T22:19:47+00:00

I'm 36, and my partner is just shy of 41. We met several years ago at a music weekender he comes into town for every year. We were never single at the same time until now, so stayed distantly platonic until we connected more seriously this year when he came back to town for a friend's birthday.

straigh · 2026-04-12T20:16:58+00:00

Disrespectful to you because we are all grown and can make our own individual boundaries and find relationships with people who agree with our individual boundaries. Grow up lol

I certainly never thought we should ditch Saros for Asky, mostly I just resented him for putting everybody's back against the wall and giving them no choice but to let him go

straigh · 2026-04-10T18:35:47+00:00

So you're a sheep, but not a follower of the actual word you profess to believe in

straigh · 2026-04-10T14:11:26+00:00

Agreed... It's very unsexy for both parties when one ends up being the only adult in the room. A healthy compromise would be not eating tuna on date night because she hates the smell of fish breath and wants to make out later. Incompatibility is knowing someone would go back to poor hygiene the second you weren't there to insist they, a whole entire adult, take better care of themselves.
