How Quitting Porn Brought Me Back to My Marriage
I stopped watching porn, and at first it felt like the smallest decision in the world. It wasn’t the result of a crusade or some kind of rock-bottom moment.

“My children have multiple fathers”
I’m a woman in my 30s, and I’m struggling with a deep sense of shame that I can’t seem to shake. I have two children with two different fathers. I love my kids more than anything, but whenever I meet new people or have to explain my family situation, I feel this wave of embarrassment. I immediately assume people are judging me, even when they haven’t said a word.

Good. Let the Diamond Industry Burn.
There are few things more satisfying than watching an industry that spent generations selling scarcity suddenly discover what happens when scarcity disappears.
Natural diamond prices have fallen roughly 60 percent in five years.
In March 2022, a one-carat natural diamond hit an all-time high of around $10,000. Since then, prices have cratered.

“I Spent Two Years Destroying My Life With Meth”
I’m 29 years old and 15 weeks clean from meth.
Right now I work at a fast food restaurant.
A few years ago, I was making six figures fixing cars. I had been with the same employer for more than ten years. I had a house, a newer vehicle, two kids and a relationship. I was good at my job and living pretty comfortably.

“Should I tell my best friend that his girlfriend hit on me?”
To be fully transparent, my best friend and I didn’t always get along. We hated each other once upon a time, and it was over a girl that we were both trying to go out with. Years later we squashed it and became best friends, and I would say we trust each other very well.
Recently while we were seshing, his girlfriend made a couple of comments to me like, “He’s lucky I didn’t meet you first,” and some other stuff about how lucky my girls are. She also touched me on the leg a couple of times while she was saying it.
Idk if I should tell him because of the past issues we’ve had over women. What should I do?
