Do you have to fight in prison? Well, let me put it this way – if you want to spend your entire sentence as some big bully’s personal punching bag and toilet paper, then sure, go ahead and be Gandhi and turn the other cheek.
“My wife is enabling my 22 year old adult son who still lives at home”
My son is 22. He graduated high school with stellar SAT scores and was at the top of his school. After high school, he didn’t know exactly what he wanted to do with his life, so we let him have a gap year where he could live at our house rent-free so he could decide what he wanted to do with his life. What he decided to do was be a gamer person on Youtube with his own channel. I’m fine if that’s what he wants to do with his life. However, I know that it is a very unsteady job, and I would at least like him to get an education or a “real” job.

“My boyfriend called me a 4/10”
Since dating my boyfriend, he kept making side comments about my appearance here and there. Then he compliments his ex every now and then. He says she is pretty or ended up talking about how he fell for her ass. One day I asked him to stop because it was making me self conscious. He never complimented me until I made a comment about it.
It’s been about four months and I told him I don’t have a good feeling about him and his ex and that he makes it seem like he likes her more than me. He finally told me that she is more attractive than me and that I am a 4/10 for him. I even asked how he thought about me, compared to his friend’s girlfriends, and he says they are more attractive than me. He tells me that his ex beauty means nothing to him. Then he turns around and still tries to call me beautiful after telling me was below average in looks. I am ok without being everyone’s cup of tea, but my own boyfriend?
What Does It Mean To Put Yourself Out There?
I want to talk about a phrase that gets thrown around a lot – “putting yourself out there.” It’s something we often hear when it comes to dating, socializing, or pursuing our goals. But what does it really mean?
Putting yourself out there means being vulnerable. It’s about exposing yourself to the possibility of rejection, failure, or disappointment. When you put yourself out there, you’re taking a risk. You’re saying, “Here I am, flaws and all. Take it or leave it.”

The Importance of Extending Compassion and Grace to Ourselves and Others
Humans are messy. We’re emotional, irrational creatures stumbling through life making one mistake after another. And that’s okay. Because embracing our inherent imperfections is the key to finding more compassion for ourselves and grace for others.
We live in a world that celebrates success and shuns failure. Social media paints a distorted picture of blemish-free lives full of stunning accomplishments. But behind every polished persona is a human grappling with fear, insecurity, and doubt. When we recognize this, we allow for more authenticity and vulnerability – both in ourselves and others.

The Dumping Grounds
“Girl Invited me over to dorm at 3am”
Last night a girl (18F) invited me (18M) over to her dorm. We had been messaging each other on instagram and then she said “…can we hang out soon. You never wanna hang out with me”. I told her about saying she was gonna show me her room. She then responds, “Come right now. My roomies are gone”.
So eventually I just head over and get there like at 3:30 AM. Once I get there she is just laying down, and I sit in her desk chair and we just talk and listen to music. Eventually I leave, super confused. Not really sure what her intentions were. Like I don’t know if she wanted to make a move on me or for me to sleep over. She is super cool and I enjoy talking to her, but she does flirt with me a lot and I feel like she gives me mixed signals.
“He won’t marry me after 16 years and two kids”
I’m a 38 year old woman who has been dating a 40 year old man for 16 years. I feel so depressed and disposable because he won’t marry me.
We have been together for 16 whole years. We have two daughters (4 and 8). I wanted to be married before having kids but he basically said he thought that if he married me first then I might decide not to have any kids and he would be stuck never having any. So I was guilted into having them before being married.
I have felt horrible about my situation for years but last summer, about a month before our 16 year anniversary, I started to feel much worse. I’m depressed and I think about it multiple times a day. I feel like a joke. Like a disposable piece of trash. Like I’m not good enough to be loved completely.

What Exactly Does a CEO Do?
The CEO is the highest ranking person that works at the company every day. The board of directors can fire the CEO, but the board usually meets only quarterly and its members usually have other jobs.
