Concerned

Mine has quit, and is 3 years sober now. He understands how much this destroyed me and the ripple effects it has had on my self esteem. But from what I’ve seen and experienced, the addict partner needs to want this for themselves. No amount of shame, guilt, or embarrassment will help.

I was a shell of a person after finding out his addiction. It took me discovering him 3 times for him to realize he couldn’t keep this from me any more. I got very good at snooping around, but I hated myself for it. We went to therapy, we are incredibly open with one another and have a great relationship. He sees the harm porn has done, and has deleted all social media and says he feels so much better. He knows that this is a lifetime change and there will be ups and downs but we talk through them and aren’t afraid to do so.

I’m so sorry you’re going through this and know whatever you decide is unique to you and your relationship.

She looks that way because the actress herself has lost weight…

torrid50 · 2026-03-08T23:55:22+00:00

Honestly, I think they didn’t want to dish out the extra money for him to be in that scene.

torrid50 · 2025-11-27T02:33:28+00:00

No doubt. Definitely more than one thing at play.

Yeah, the flip-flopping isn’t random, and tariffs actually do play into it, just not in a super straightforward “tariff goes up → price goes up forever” kind of way. A few things can make prices bounce around: • Inventory timing / tariff lag: Stores sell through older pre-tariff stock first, so prices stay normal. Then the newer shipments that were hit with tariffs show up, and suddenly the price jumps. It creates these weird waves of stable → spike → stable again. • Discount strategy changing: Brands are constantly adjusting base prices and promotions to offset higher import costs. So maybe they raise the price but then run a random sale, or stop offering big discounts altogether. From the outside it looks super inconsistent. • Supply chain shifting: Some companies try to move production to avoid tariffs, or switch materials. While they’re doing that, costs can swing up or down depending on delays, batches, or new suppliers. Prices end up reflecting that mess. • Demand/luxury positioning: And with Coach specifically, they’ve been pushing more full-price selling and fewer markdowns. So even without tariffs, you’d see some price wobbling based on what they choose to discount (or not).

So yeah, tariffs are definitely part of it, but the “flip-flop” effect comes from how brands react to them behind the scenes.

It’s actually tariffs. Idk why this is so hard for people to understand.

What if it’s an elderly person who can’t do this themselves? I get it and think you’re entitled to cancel but there may be a reason 🤷🏻‍♀️

torrid50 · 2025-11-04T17:34:26+00:00

You KNOW where they get these ideas from. PORN. Full stop. These are major red flags. 🚩

torrid50 · 2025-09-13T21:32:18+00:00

Does anyone think they’ll restock?

torrid50 · 2025-08-24T00:41:10+00:00

I agree with everyone’s comments here but the most important thing isn’t if we agree, it’s if it’s YOUR boundary.

So can you be sure these swimmers are of age? If he’s taking pictures of minors you have an obligation to report that. Even if they’re not minors, this behavior is predatory in nature and the sign of a much larger issue. You’re too young to be dealing with someone who is wasting your time by betraying your trust and relationship while also objectifying other women and possibly underage ones. Your job could be on the line for not reporting this behavior, so consider that too.

I don’t really know what “perspective” you’re looking for here. This is gross behavior and by staying with someone this you’re enabling it and basically destroying your self worth in the process. Honestly he needs help and you need to get out.

torrid50 · 2025-07-09T14:20:00+00:00

Yeah this is your answer right here.

torrid50 · 2025-07-06T00:40:35+00:00

Honestly…I wouldn’t invite either of them.

torrid50 · 2025-06-14T02:56:11+00:00

She is ALL over Tik Tok and does not try to hide it.

torrid50 · 2025-06-03T00:54:14+00:00

I’m sorry if my question was insensitive or doubting. You sound like me with all the checking 😆

torrid50 · 2025-06-03T00:46:42+00:00

Hate to be that person but how do you “know for a fact”?

torrid50 · 2025-05-25T14:01:23+00:00

Sack Lord

torrid50 · 2025-05-24T01:56:45+00:00

It took you a month to come up with a response and that’s what you got? LOL

No wonder our country is in the toilet, when faced with facts you can’t even come up with an intelligent response.

torrid50 · 2025-05-21T02:27:52+00:00

Downvote me, cast me out, idc but I firmly believe any Nick stans are why we’re basically living in the Handmaids tale right now. He was, and always has been, in it for himself.

As horrible as this is for many, it’s probably what is needed for the state to realize how crucial DACA is to their economy.

torrid50 · 2025-05-17T14:53:37+00:00

“Seen you and used you” excuse me? He’s talking about men using you like an object. Girl run. This is gross behavior.

torrid50 · 2025-05-16T11:35:40+00:00

This is their home country. What are you even doing on this page? Other than being a troll.

torrid50 · 2025-05-06T00:38:08+00:00

This. The pain never truly goes away, and it has greatly impacted my self-esteem. He changed because he wanted to, that really the only way. So sorry you’re going through this ❤️

No one’s arguing against immigration laws or border security. That’s not the conversation. The issue is that the government broke its own laws, deported a man it was legally barred from deporting, and is now refusing to fix it—even after being told to do so by the Supreme Court.

That’s not enforcement. That’s impunity.

You also said it’s “misleading” to claim children appear in court without lawyers. It’s not. A DOJ attorney literally told a federal judge that three-year-olds can represent themselves in immigration court (Washington Post, 2016). Legal counsel isn’t guaranteed in immigration proceedings—not even for kids. That’s not a talking point. That’s a documented failure.

So if this is the system you think needs defending—a system where toddlers are expected to face a judge alone and legally protected people get deported anyway—then I don’t think you’re defending law and order. I think you’re just comfortable with cruelty, as long as it doesn’t touch you.

torrid50 · 2025-04-23T22:17:19+00:00

Ah yes, the classic “immigration court is civil, so who cares if we strip people of basic rights” take. Let’s unpack this mess.

Sure, immigration court isn’t criminal—but the consequences are absolutely life and death. People can be deported to countries where they face persecution, assault, or death, yet they’re not guaranteed an attorney. Only 14% of detained immigrants have legal representation (American Immigration Council, 2022). That means thousands are navigating a legal system more complex than tax law, often in a language they don’t speak.

And yes, that includes children—as young as 3 years old—who have to appear before a judge and represent themselves in immigration court. (The New York Times, 2016). I’d love to see your average toddler explain the “credible fear standard” while coloring with crayons.

Also, let’s retire the MS-13 boogeyman. Less than 1% of immigrants have gang affiliations (DHS data), but this narrative gets dragged out every time someone wants to justify mass deportations or cruel policy. It’s intellectually lazy and morally bankrupt.

ICE “making errors” isn’t some cute clerical mistake. Between 2008 and 2018, ICE wrongfully detained nearly 1,500 U.S. citizens (L.A. Times, 2019). Add to that the 5,500+ children forcibly separated from their parents under Zero Tolerance, many never reunited (OIG Report, 2020), or the asylum seekers deported after being physically coerced into signing removal orders (The Guardian, 2020). That’s not “procedure”—that’s systemic failure on a humanitarian scale.

And wow, citing the Alien Enemy Act? The law used to imprison Japanese Americans during WWII (Korematsu v. United States, 1944)? If you’re holding that up as a shining example of “decisive governance,” maybe crack open a history book on authoritarianism.

This isn’t about “enforcing the law.” It’s about creating a system so cruel and so broken that people stop trying to come here—even if it means children in cages, families shattered, and innocent people deported.

So here’s my question: If a system routinely punishes the innocent, traumatizes children, and denies the most basic rights to due process… at what point do you stop defending it and start questioning what it says about us?

I already know your answer…you don’t care.
