CONFESSIONAL

Had my rainbow baby after a miscarriage , I'm pregnant again and so afraid to have another miscarriage. That pain never goes away .

I just turned 57 and am thinking about taking up strength training.

I really hate my life right now. I can’t deal with my toddler screaming, hitting & kicking. I wish I could just get in the car & drive far away.

Full-time working mom. The hardest people to deal with aren't my highly-energetic, loud kids. They are a few stubborn, my-way-or-the-highway 60+ year olds at my work. Since they aren't retiring soon, perhaps it's time I see myself to the door.

Oldest dd needs to go to summer camp. I love my kids equally but I cannot give her the activity and energy she needs. I feel guilty.

I dont want to be married to a little boy who doesn't know how to be an adult in every sense of the word, unless it benefits him. How did I get here and how do I get myself and my daughter out of this?

In 2013, I was googling "sexual abandonment" due to my marriage. It's now 2020, and DH is just now complaining we don't have sex.

I tried to make foreplay more "playful". Because I didn't get naked the second he kissed me, he got pissed and asked if I even wanted to be there. Sorry for attempting to feel desired, dude...

Everytime my husband tosses an orange or banana my way and says, "eat this, it's good for you and the baby" I want to punch him in the face.

I did something really stupid because I was distracted. Everything just feels so heavy right now.

I think my kids' nanny is in love with my DH. IDGAF if it keeps her showing up everyday and nice to my kids. She doesn't know how much he values money. He is gross and classist. If he fucks her, I'll be able to leave w/my assets untouched. I can't lose.

I know a lot of racists. They keep trying to “explain”. I wish they would STFU.

My husband treats my body like it’s gold and he tells me I’m beautiful daily. But I’m 5’6” and 218 lbs and I spend much of my day angry at myself for being overweight. I’ve tried so many times to lose weight but can’t commit. I don’t like the way I look.

My kid told me to kill myself and their younger sibling because we're ruining their life.

I hate that MIL manipulated H so bad over his lifetime that he can't even make/stand by simple decisions. It gets worse as he ages. So sad to watch the man I thought he was disappear into weakness. MIL is such a horrible person.

I've never been helped by a cop. I've been harassed and abused, but never helped.

The lengths I go to for peace are just disturbing at this point.

I(45) have a much higher sex drive than DB(46). We have sex 3-4x/wk. Still not enough. What they say about a woman's sexuality peaking later in life is true! Thank god he's great in bed! Takes the sting out of him not wanting me as often as I want him.

I really liked the show Veronica Mars. I haven’t seen the new season or the movie but I could watch the first 3 seasons over and over.

I just want someone to share some of the responsibility of running a home with me. Because I’m SAHM it is ALL on my shoulders. I’m so burned out.

First couple yrs of being a widow was hard, but doubt I will remarry or cohabitate. My life is 100% my own, no cooking, cleaning, laundry, sex for someone else. Have my own money. Had a good marriage, why risk it when so many aren't happy.

We're not going out because of COVID, and I just realized that the reason DB hasn't proposed is because he knows his DD15 will ruin anything he does for me at home.

I am a 44 y.o Black woman. I am terrified for my family and friends. I am exhausted at just trying to live. That's it, I just want to be free to live and move about just like everyone else. I don't want special treatment. I just want to live.

I can’t believe I did this again. Made it 14 days without drinking then binged last night, DH carried me to bed & put the kids to bed, he said I was scaring our DD9 bc she heard me throwing up and of course today I’m shaky weak and feel like utter shit

My husband is a truck driver. I’m afraid rioters are going to kill him.

As a black white collar professional, it is a form of racism when educators/parents in my white suburb make a bigger deal about my children's accomplishments than white children's same accomplishments. It's patronizing and a form of tokenism.

Birthday came and went. My immediate blood family only ones who texted. No one else remembered. Fuck this life.

I just put my crucifix away. There is no God when that monster can stand in front of a church, after gassing peaceful protesters, hold a Bible and declare himself king. With. No. Consequences.

Hyper vigilant about the cars going by the house today. We live near the neighborhood entrance and I’m stopping to listen at every truck or siren.

My white partner says tone deaf borderline racist comments all of the time. I am black and our kids are mixed race. It’s been years of trying to educate him. How did I get here?

New boss sought me out for the position. He's been an aquantince for 10+ years. I've always known he wants me, and even though I have no interest, it's nice to I'm still wanted. Married mom of 3 here.

My birthday was a couple days ago and I took a pregnancy test and it was POSITIVE! Not my husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for over a year. I found out today that I got a false positive. I have never been so heart broken and angry :(

When I see the American flag, I get nauseous. I think a reason to display a flag is pride....I haven't felt proud of, or to be an American in quite some time.

Probably going to not live soon. I can't take this world anymore. Told H. Doesn't think I'm serious. DD never forgiving me, is the only reason I'm hanging on now. But, if of this shit doesn't stop soon, I'm out of here. It's too much. I'm so tired.

I masturbate when my husband leaves for work in the morning to anal porn. The noises and grunts turn me on. It relaxes me & it’s my own little secret

So overwhelmed. I can’t get out of bed. Everything is too much.

I’m in [intense] management consulting. 3yo DS is out of preschool through July. I’m past my limits as a [pregnant, vomiting] full-time professional, cook/housekeeper, SAHM. DH is working in [my] home office, playing with DS 1 hr/dy, going on daily run.

one whole month separated and I feel like a new woman. my budget is 1/3 of what it used to be, yet I have $500 in savings. And my kids are happier. divorce will be like fucking heaven

I feel like I'm (we) in some nightmare scenario and I just want to wake up ASAP. This...this all just can't be REAL. WTF? Is this armageddon? Is Cheeto Hitler gonna push the button and just obliterate us? I don't want to die! Why did anyone vote for him?

After being home with my husband for months, I realize how small his contributions are to kids and house. Part of me wants to get divorced cause then at least I would get a break when he had visitation
