The candid girlfriend doesn't exist and neither do pick me girls. What does exist is the patriarchy and the idea of pitting women against women. Oh look, it's working.

My ex said the same, they all do. One time he said he wasn't giving them back after his time with them, I called his bluff and went on a 3 month holiday. A few weeks in he was begging me to come get them. Hasn't threatened anything since. 

My husbands from England, hasn't been back for twenty years, he wants the snow, I couldn't care at all.

@jay my partner was an alcoholic, he's been sober 7 years now, but when he was drinking it was like Jekyll and Hyde, when drunk it was like a completely different personality came over him. I can definitely see how Brad could be a good person and do all that horrible stuff. When reading the accounts of Angelina it seems very familiar, I don't feel like it's made up. I hope he's gotten help and I hope one day his can children forgive him. 

I was quite young with my first two babies and lived with my parents, my mum was like a second mum to my kids. She helped above and beyond and so did my father, my partner at the time was useless. Now second marriage much more stable two more kids, I'm older, my parents are older and I don't expect anything from them now, our parents raised us I don't know why we expect them to raise our kids too. This is their free time and I sure as hell can't wait for mine.

I don't have time for friends, I work, I'm studying a degree, I have five children. I literally do not have the time nor the emotional bandwidth to give multiple friendships the energy they deserve. I have to deal with my families emotions, my parents, my one best friends, my patients and my own. I cannot be the emotional sounding board for another person and then be accused of being a bad friend because I don't have room. 

You will never know what fate your bad luck has saved you from. Japanese saying. 

I wasted my money on opalex and it was useless. My hairdresser put me in to a redkin treatment that has been amazing and no where near the price of opalex.
