CONFESSIONAL

My mother spent my childhood trying to get her own childhood needs met. I feel cheated & angry.

H wants us to buy a foreclosure home.8m not comfortable with it I think it's kind of shady to buy a home that a family was forced out of, most likely due to circumstances beyond their control.

I think, at age 50, I'm going to finally get over my anxiety & buy a house. If my dipshit brother can do it, how hard can it be?

DH and I are nice people, have lots of casual friends. But we never get asked to hang out with other couples for dinner/drinks/small gatherings. What are we doing wrong?

Was rear ended this weekend and have been waiting for 3 days for Geico to get me a rental

My kids lay in bed like coma patients then act butt hurt about washing 6 dishes. I look forward to life kicking their ass.

I wish schools would make anti mask/anti vaccine classrooms, and pro vaccine/pro mask classrooms. Win-win. I want my young children to be surrounded by like minded people who are taking the same precautions as I have been for the last 16 months.

Went into the pizza shop to pick up my order and I was the ONLY person in there wearing a mask. I don’t give a fuck, this pandemic is not over!

I have no friends.

Summer always starts out on a good note and within a few weeks, moms are bitching and wishing for school.

The problem in my extended family isn't young adults not leaving their parents' nest and becoming independent - it's our parents' (and grandparents') generation wanting to to come live in OUR nest when THEY run into difficulties.

If there’s a nice way to say something and a nasty way, I can count on DW to choose the nasty way every time

I don’t know what happens to him at work, but DH gets home each day looking and acting like a whipped dog.

There are certain things I don't start because I'm not sure I'll be able to stop.

I have to admit, when DH developed ED and couldn’t fuck, his interest in giving me MY orgasm didn’t fall off in the slightest. I was wrong when I called BS on his claims to love getting me off and giving me pleasure even when he knows he can’t orgasm.

Vacation ends tomorrow. H took his the same time as me and it’s ruined mine. I needed one or two days alone. I feel exhausted.

It literally makes me so depressed that my best years were in high school. Now I have no friends, I feel so fat and ugly and my life sucks..

I think the whole world has taken a page out of the "She'll get it done somehow" handbook. At every waking moment, I am acutely aware that, whatever I am doing, it is at least 25% someone else's responsibility.

Everything feels like too much work.

Sometimes kids turn out to be assholes dispite your best efforts.

When someone is like "It's Friday!" after all these meaningless bleeding-into-the-next day/week/month/season/year Fridays, I want to hurt them.

I have realized you can’t count on anyone and people are usually loyal to themselves. And I’ve been too nice.

I'm contemplating answering "NO" when people ask if I have kids. They are grown and estranged and it's easier than explaining any of it.

My H would be so sad to hear this, but I wish I would have kept my maiden name. I love him. I just really miss my name.

I get more affection from my kids than from H and we fight about it a lot. I don’t make enough money to leave him and put a roof over my kids’ heads and food on the table so I’m trapped till the kids are grown.

Dliberately made DS's therapy appt for early Sat morns so H would have to get out of bed early. Could have had later appt but sick of H sleeping til 10am while I do all the work. This is my petty revenge.

I've never swallowed (also been married over a decade) and I never plan to.

If I didn't initiate sex, H and I would never have sex.

DH gave me the car keys and left me in a store, then walked the 5 miles home (in 93 degree weather) because he said I was being so bitchy he’d rather do that than be with me in the car for the 10 minute drive home.

DH complains that I never let him know when I’m in the mood and wanting sex. To mess with his head, I lie my ass off and tell him “Yes I do. In fact, I was in the mood this morning and, IF YOU’D BEEN PAYING ATTENTION to me you would have noticed it”.

Bought 2 cantaloupe and put them in the fridge until I had time to make fruit salad. DH was digging through the fridge for lunch, saw them, and just HAD to grin and say “Nice melons, Dear”

I just can’t get him out of my mind knowing we both have a relationship with someone else

My kid wet his pants twice this week because I was too busy on my damn phone to see and hear the obvious. I felt awful the first time and said never again and I just let it happen again 2 days later. I am a POS mama sometimes with this in my hand.

I'm a tightwad. Having to spend money on non-essentials stresses me the fuck out.

I work FT + do all domestic chores (H is disabled & teens are lazy). Tonight after work, I'm buying tv dinners, a bottle of whiskey, sitting in my room & getting piss drunk while they fix their own food. Sounds fair to me.

Wake me up when summer ends.

For years, BFF has been someone who I had to initiate any conversation with bc she was so “busy”..I’d have to call/email/text. Stopped doing and and now we don’t talk at all. I’m okay with that. I’m done chasing people.

My self esteem is so low that I usually look down at the ground when I walk past someone. On the rare chance that I do actually make eye contact or catch them looking at me, I wonder if they think I’m as ugly or weird looking as I see myself.

My sister has been married 3 times. Twice, she met/married men who were literally homeless & jobless. She begs OUR family to support/pay for/house her and these slugs. I stopped & said no more. Now I'm the bad guy and she "isn't speaking" to me. Finally!

My daughter is going through a bad breakup. Please send good vibes her way. Thank you!
