12 Confessions From People Who Waited Until Marriage To Have Sex
1. My wife and I abstained from sex before marriage for religious reasons. On our honeymoon, it took about thirty minutes for me to convince her to undress. She was very nervous, but that was ok, she’s always been a shy person and I knew we would have to take it slow.
After some petting, I decided to try to do basic missionary position. When I climbed on top of her, she recoiled and started crawling away. I was kind of hurt by this, but again, shes shy, so after some more petting and kissing I tried again. As soon as the tip of my penis touched the outside of her vagina, she recoiled. I tried this a few more times before I was so hurt I couldn’t keep my erection. She apologized, we chalked it up to nerves, and decided to try again on the second night of the honeymoon.

“My husband fell down a conspiracy theory pipeline”
We have been together five years, have a 9 month old, and there is a significant age gap between us. When we first met, we bonded over being loving, open minded “hippie” types with similar music tastes and curiosity about the world. I was younger and more naive then, and our connection felt deeply enriching. I also briefly studied archaeology before dropping out of school.
Things started to shift right before I got pregnant. What began as a shared interest in aliens slowly turned into much more extreme conspiracy beliefs about satanic cults, lizard people, and ancient civilizations that likely never existed. I do not mind questioning mainstream ideas, but he now treats nearly all scientists as corrupt or part of some hidden agenda and gets upset whenever I disagree. If I bring up the history of racism in conspiracy movements, he tells me I am brainwashed.

“My husband’s friend sent me a dirty text”
A little background – me and my now husband started dating in college, so I know most of his friends and we all hang out together often, they have been at our place for house parties and we have gone clubbing together. But I don’t really talk or meet his friends without him. Most of them are married and some of his friends send me memes on instagram and I send some back, nothing too cheeky though.
Now this one friend (also recently married to his long time gf), always reacts to my posts and stories like others, but few days ago I got a notification that he has DM’d me this – “you have the most perfect tits”. I was shocked and couldn’t believe what I was reading but took a screenshot out of instinct. Then when I went to my DMs there was no msg from him like that. I am confused– did he send it to me and got scared and deleted it, or was he sending it to someone else and sent it to me by mistake. Either ways its weird and I am a bit disgusted.

Nobody Owes You a Better Life
Your life is your responsibility. Period.
Not your parents’. Not your boss’s. Not the economy’s. Not “society’s.” Not your partner’s. Yours.
That doesn’t mean other people haven’t screwed you over. They probably have.
It doesn’t mean bad luck isn’t real. It is.
It doesn’t mean systems aren’t unfair. They often are.
All of that can be true — and still irrelevant to what you actually control.

Why Does The U.S. Want Greenland?
When Donald Trump first floated the idea of buying Greenland in 2019, and then renewed that interest in his second term, many people treated it as a joke or a bizarre whim. But while the idea of “buying” a country in the 21st century is certainly unconventional (and diplomatically fraught), the reasons behind his interest are rooted in hard geopolitical strategy.
To understand why a U.S. President would want this massive, icy island, you have to look at it through three lenses: Military Location, Rare Resources, and Global Competition.
“I always need to be right”
“You always need to be right”
I’ve heard this sentence directed at me from countless different people. It’s true, I do like to win an argument and be correct. However, I don’t really see how that’s such a negative thing. I think through the things I say and believe them to be right. I’m not going to stop believing them simply because you don’t. Think of a better argument than saying I only win because I want to win.
In the end I don’t want to be right, I want to know the right answer. I know I’m dumb and don’t have all the answers but that fact doesn’t win you the argument.
Anybody else in here considered a know-it-all or thick-skulled for needing to win arguments, when in reality you genuinely believe in your side and are open to be proven wrong?
“How do ugly guys get girlfriends?”
I consider myself quite ugly, I’d say I’m a -40/10, I’m 25 and never had a girlfriend, no girl has ever been interested in me, but whenever we go out my friends get girls swarming all over them.
Or should I just give up dating altogether?
