Every Friday, just say whatever is in your mind in this post. It doesn’t need to be a question, and go on whatever tangent you want to go on.
We will still be enforcing our rules on gendered slurs, bigoted/disrespectful/hateful commentary, invalidation (if someone’s only contribution is telling others they are wrong), medical issues, and relationship advice. However the comments don’t need to be on a specific topic, and they don’t need to be open-ended questions.

I’ve (F24) have been seeing my fella (M38) for a month and everything is great. We’re enjoying the journey. But my mom tonight for some reason and I mean out of thin air made me “”promise”” I wasn’t moving away with him for “Atleast a year or two”.
and her tone was very hurtful and demanding and I answered as a scared child rather than a functioning adult. But this happens anytime I even *mention* interest in anyone. Anytime I make it past a month she loses her marbles.
I left home when I was 19 with my boyfriend at the time who I had been with for almost a year (with my mother’s blessing). Everything was great for a while and then my father took his life and I began to spiral and couldn’t keep up with my last year in college and became significantly mentally unwell. We were together almost 3 years. We broke up. I didn’t date for a while after that. Dated a guy 2 months after that he was a POS who tried to 💀 me. but now I’m in one of the healthiest relationships I’ve ever been in and she’s got it in her mind I’m going to “run away again” but I’m nearly 25 and I’m doing leagues better than I was at 19. The idea of me getting married and having children with this man? She loves it. Moving away again? Evil.
I am still trying to finish unpacking the last of our boxes from our move 15 months ago. Some of these boxes have been packed since our PRIOR move, and I am trying to get myself going on them! So tired of having our space limited by those boxes.
