“I ghosted my boyfriend of three years”

ghosting

Because it was the easiest thing for me to do.

He was not abusive. He didn’t cheat on me. He was loving and supportive and communicative and trusting our entire relationship. Probably one of the sweetest guys I’ve ever dated.

Unfortunately, he lost his job and became depressed and miserable to be around and I was no longer attracted to him. Meanwhile, I got a new, high pressure job after being miserable at my old one for five years and was dreading dealing with his issues. I wanted a new start. A really fun and attractive guy I’ve had a long-standing crush on showed interest in me and I went for it.

Sorry, Not Sorry: Why Over-Apologizing Is Hurting You (And How to Stop)

over_apologizing

Today I want to talk about a habit that so many of us have fallen into without even realizing it: apologizing for everything, even when we’ve done nothing wrong.

You know what I’m talking about. You bump into someone and immediately blurt out “I’m so sorry!” even though they weren’t looking where they were going. Your boss gives you a new assignment and you respond with “Sorry, I’ll get on that right away!” as if the work is an imposition. Sound familiar?

Your Partner is Not a Mind Reader

mind_reader

Here’s the scenario: something’s bugging you in your relationship. Maybe you wish your partner would be more affectionate, or help out more around the house, or plan more date nights. Whatever it is, you haven’t told them directly. Instead, you just feel increasingly annoyed that they aren’t doing the thing you secretly want them to do. Sound familiar?

Pros:

Three hots and a cot. Top grade training in whatever technical discipline you choose, assuming you score well on the ASVAB.

10 Survivors Of Childhood Abuse Reveal How It Has Affected Their Lives

childhood sex abuse

1. When I was 11 or 12ish, I was abused by this disgusting monster of a man who I saw as a role model I could trust. He was one of those people who would always be suspiciously, unnaturally polite to people, and being around kids, nobody batted an eye.

I was called into his office in response to me acting out in school and from there i don’t remember much, but the abuse that occured then shaped the rest of my life. (this man went to jail later for a few years for filming young boys in the shower naked at a local school where he volunteered as a basketball coach, but is now FREE… and no accusers have come forth about anything else)

What the ACE Quiz Tells Us About Childhood Trauma and Healing

Ace Quiz

The Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACE) Quiz has become a widely recognized tool for assessing the impact of early life trauma on long-term health and well-being. Developed through a collaboration between the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and Kaiser Permanente in the 1990s, the ACE study revealed a profound connection between childhood adversity and a wide range of physical, mental, and social problems in adulthood. However, while the ACE Quiz provides valuable insights, it’s crucial to understand what it does and doesn’t mean.
