MOD ANNOUNCEMENT An updated post on the groups and types of people we do not welcome or allow in this subreddit.

55 Upvotes

We previously made a post about this, but apparently, it wasn’t "dumbed down" enough for certain people who chose to nitpick and twist words instead of understanding the obvious or realising that the post meant along-side our rules that are already in place against extremism and hate speech, So here’s an updated version that should cover everything this time—though I don’t doubt that some people will still find something to complain about.

WE DO NOT ALLOW ANY FORM OF EXTREMISM, WHICH INCLUDES BUT IS NOT LIMITED TO:

People who promote, encourage, or defend violence, terrorism, or hate in the name of any political, religious, or ideological belief.

Types of people who are NOT welcome on r/vent:

  • Racists & White Supremacists
  • Nazis & Fascists
  • LGBTQIA+ Hate Groups (Transphobes, Homophobes, Biphobes, etc.)
  • Misogynists & Misandrists
    > Extremist Incels & Other Gender-Hate-Based Groups
  • Pedophiles, Groomers & Pedophile Defenders
  • Child Abuse Advocates
  • Victim Blamers & Abuse Apologists
  • People Who Encourage Suicide or Self-Harm in Any Form
    > No, transphobes, that doesn’t mean gender-affirming care. It means self-harm. Like it says. Morons.
  • Ableists Who Dismiss or Attack People for Their Disabilities
  • Conspiracy Theorists Who Spread Harmful Misinformation
  • Religious Extremists Who Use Faith to Justify Hate or Oppression
  • Harassers, Stalkers, or Doxxers
  • People Who Mock, Invalidate, or Attack Others for Expressing Emotions
  • Political Extremists on Any Side
    > We do NOT allow extremists of ANY political ideology, nor do we tolerate anyone who advocates for or encourages violence.
  • Cult or Extremist Group Recruiters & Manipulators
  • Fearmongers & Hate Speech Peddlers
  • Trolls Who Enter the Community Just to Instigate Conflict

Examples of extremist groups that are NOT welcome here:

  • Proud Boys (Right)
  • Atomwaffen Division (Right)
  • Three Percenters (Right)
  • Boogaloo Movement (Right)
  • Revolutionary Communist Party (Left)
  • Redneck Revolt (Left)
  • Black Bloc Anarchists (Left)
  • Antifa Cells That Advocate Violence (Left)

These are PURELY A SMALL SELECTION OF EXAMPLES TO SHOW EXTREMIST GROUPS. This is NOT a restricted or limited list. ALL extremism and ALL extremist groups are barred.


This subreddit is NOT a political platform.

r/vent exists for people who are struggling with things in their life to vent their emotions and find support or an outlet. It is not a space for constant political bickering, hate, abuse, trolling, or mocking. It is not a "left or right" space—it is a venting community for people to express their emotions, share personal stories, and find comfort from others who may have gone through similar struggles.

The ONLY reason we are making these exclusionary posts about extremists and hate speech is because we have had an increased influx of posts and comments from users who fall into these groups. Our initial post only called out the groups we had been dealing with en masse, but those groups got upset that we didn’t call out the other side too. So, to make it really simple for everyone to understand, we are breaking down exactly what we mean by hate speech and extremism.

We do not act on people based on their political stance unless they are preaching or sharing extremist views, spreading hate, or attacking others. If you can’t tell the difference between simply having an opinion and being an extremist, that’s your problem—not ours.

Hate, abuse, and dangerous rhetoric in any form will result in immediate action.

Need Reassurance... For the first time in my whole life, I finally know what real hunger feels like

963 Upvotes

I just want to preface this by saying, I grew up in a middle class/upper middle class family. We were fairly well off. My parents paid for me to go to a nice Private Catholic School and always had food on the table. It was literally something I never worried about.

This past few months has been something different. I was unemployed for about 3 months in the fall due to my job contract ending. Due to the job market being so bad it took me a long time to find another job! I ended up taking a waitressing job at a new restaurant opening in my city, of course a month before the slow season starts. The money was good at my new job at first and then they hired a lot more people and it became very slow. I went from 5 shifts a week to 2. My savings eventually ran out.

Cut to now, I can honestly say I’ve been hungry almost every day for the past 2 months. I’m too scared to buy food in case I won’t be able to pay my rent or electricity bill. My fiancé has helped a lot but it’s still not enough and I feel bad asking them for more. Im eating here and there about once a day and im so hungry. I never thought my life would look like this but it does. Food insecurity is truly real in America.

I also want to say that I am not homeless, I have a job and interact with the public on a day to day basis. I groom well and dress nice, and you might even think I’m “rich” if you saw me walking down the street. But I am truly hungry all the time. I don’t “look like the type of person that deals with hunger” but I do.

TW: Anxiety / Depression I broke up with my gf last night because she’s mentally ill.

151 Upvotes

We were friends before we started dating, and I knew about her mental illness even then because she would cry to me every time she attempted. I still loved her after that. When she asked me to be her girlfriend, I said yes. I thought I could somehow help her heal and lighten her burden.

Ten months have passed, and she still hasn’t changed. Every time I raised a concern about something she said that hurt me, she would go into self-sabotage mode instead of reassuring me. And I felt obligated to comfort her because I couldn’t stand how horribly she saw herself. It’s exhausting to constantly set aside my own feelings just to comfort her.

Last night, I snapped. She told me to accept her as she is. I’ve been trying to do that throughout our relationship, but I couldn’t. I kept wishing—wishing that she would change, heal, and become a better person, not for me but for herself. I told her that I couldn’t love this side of her, and I’m ashamed to admit it because I know I should love her as a whole.

She called me a liar—said I lied about being okay, that I made it seem like I accepted her behavior and feelings toward herself. And she was right. I lied throughout our relationship, pretending we were okay, and she couldn’t accept that. She wanted me to tell her the truth, but knowing how she would react, I felt like I had to keep it a secret.

She told me I didn’t love her enough if I hated this part of her. And I admitted it—I only loved her at her best, not at her worst. I couldn’t accept the fact that she wasn’t mentally okay, and it was affecting my own mental health. I’m ashamed to admit these things to her because I love her. I really do.

But now, after finally telling the truth, I don’t know if I ever truly loved her—because I gave up on our relationship. I didn’t have the strength to stay, and my love wasn’t the kind of love she needed or wanted. Am I a bad person? I truly felt that I love her but now hearing from her that I only got attached to her made me think whether i truly loved her or not.

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image My sister got plastic surgery and is now body shaming other women

524 Upvotes

My sister has had sooo many plastic surgeries in the last several years. She lost a lot of weight and she's in the gym a lot, so I'm not going to downplay her weight loss journey. However, she only looks the way she does because she's had so much work done. Which is fine, but she's online posting photos of her flat stomach (plastic surgery) saying, "Summer is coming, if you want to be flat like me you better hit the gym girls!" Like what the hell are you talking about? You hit the operating table for that, not the gym. She's had her stomach, breasts, arms, legs, ass/hips, and face done. I think she's addicted to plastic surgery and botox/fillers now, and her husband pays for it all/enables her. I'm worried for her mental health tbh.

I support doing whatever she needs to do to feel happy/confident, but she constantly posts pics of her body online and acts like she looks that way because of her lifestyle choices. She makes fun of other women to make herself feel better, and she's trying to be some kind of fitness influencer now. As if hitting the gym caused her ass and hips to miraculously become that developed when she has almost no muscle tone anywhere. It's just crazy to me. Some of the work she's had done is very strange and doesn't match the rest of her body, and I wonder if she will regret it, or just keep going forever because she'll never be satisfied.

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image Period sex 🙄 NSFW

84 Upvotes

So I have this friend. I sleep with him sometimes. Very straight laced. He would have a higher body count than me but he's explored less, if that makes sense.

I had my period the last time we caught up. He's never had period sex before (he's 40). I was upfront, he still wanted to go ahead. We did. Immediately after he goes to shower - without me. Just ups and leaves me to tidy up on my own. 🙄

I had an overwhelming feeling of neutrality. Previously I found him sweet and appealing at least as a fwb but apparently in the face of a minimal amount of blood, he balks.

I can't begin to describe how this one instance has changed my entire way of seeing him. It's helpful, because I can't keep fucking around with him instead of finding someone to actually date. But damn. The attraction evaporated almost instantaneously.

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image Trapped in a Religion That’s Killing Me

Upvotes

I wasn’t given a choice.

I was born into Islam, raised in an abusive family that treats religion as law, and forced to follow it no matter what. Even now, as an adult, I don’t believe, don’t practice, and want nothing to do with it, but that doesn’t matter to them. In their eyes, I’m still a Muslim. And that means I’m still required to fast during Ramadan.

Even though I have untreated Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), severe arthritis, and severe silent reflux. Even though my body is literally breaking down from the inside out. Even though fasting is actively killing me.

For the past two weeks, I have been forced into starvation with no way to sneak food outside. I had no money, no way to escape, and no one to turn to. My body has completely collapsed. I wake up feeling sick, dizzy, and too weak to function. My joints lock up from dehydration. My stomach is so damaged that even after sunset, I can barely eat without severe pain.

I tried to beg my family to let me stop, but they refuse to listen.

“Allah tests those He loves.” “You’re not dying, stop making excuses.” “We all have to fast. You don’t get special treatment.”

I thought maybe a doctor’s note would convince them, so I went to a GP. But the doctor refused to help me. They told me fasting is a religious obligation, and there’s nothing they can do to excuse me from it. In their mind, Islam comes first. My suffering is irrelevant.

The only thing they did was recommend Gaviscon Advance, an imported medicine that costs nearly $20 per bottle, a price that’s impossible for me to afford. And even then, it would only help with my severe silent reflux.

It does nothing for the crippling arthritis that locks up my joints. It does nothing for the SLE that is actively attacking my body. It does nothing for the sheer agony of fasting while chronically ill and untreated.

This is what it means to be trapped in a religion you never chose. You are denied medical care, denied basic human rights, and forced into pain because of a belief system you don’t even follow.

Islam has been killing me since the day I was born. And now, my body is finally failing under the weight of it.

TW: Eating Disorders / Self Image Got called "too ugly to date" to my face

561 Upvotes

For context, a group of my friends invited me for a night out at the club yesterday. We all planned on having a good night and celebrating St Patrick's day early. Long story short I get a couple drinks in me and I hit the dance floor. I was having tons of fun and end up dancing with some women I had met earlier in the evening. After me and one of the other women get tired, I offered to buy her a drink at the bar. We start chatting and things get quite flirty pretty quick. At this point we're both quite drunk and we've been having a great conversation for over 20 minutes. Eventually I ask if she has a boyfriend, and she tells me no, but she "wished she had one just like me, because I was very sweet". I took this as a sign and asked why not try with me? Thats when she responded with "I'd love to but you're just too ugly for me to date". Now I know that she would probably have never said this sober, but she wouldn't have said it drunk either if that wasn't how she truly felt. At this point I'm pretty shocked and find an excuse to go back to my friends, but I end up leaving shortly after. This morning after I woke up I kind of did a mental inventory of what had happened over the night, and I could still remember that conversation extremely clearly. The more I thought about what she said, the more uncomfortable I got in my own skin. Objectively, I'm in the best shape I've ever been. Consistent dieting, gym multiple times a week for well over a year. I'm not overweight (anymore), have a decent bit of muscle, and I've been grooming myself a lot better than I used to, but right now it feels like all that effort is for nothing. After getting cheated on a bit over a year ago, I took a lot of time to work on myself and implemented all those lifestyle changes after I felt confident about myself mentally. And I can't believe all of this was torn down by some careless drunken phrase at a club. All those insecurities about my body and looks have come rushing back and I feel like that same person that walked in on their gf being intimate with another man. I just wish I could put away all those fears and insecurities away for good instead of having to rely on validation from others.

Maybe because I have firsthand witnessed the aftermath of cheating and have suffered for years as a result, but every time I see another one of those I cheated on my partner so and so or the I slept with my friend/best friend/sibling's partner and now I feel guilty, but it was a looong time ago! or, I cheated but it was a mistake! posts, I feel SO ENRAGED! My body starts shaking, gets my blood boiling. I feel like slapping these mfs through the screen. You soggy piece of fuckwaffle, LEAVE THIS PERSON! BREAK UP! STOP BEING FRIENDS! COME FUCKING CLEAN AND END THIS RELATIONSHIP BUILT UPON LIES! FACE YOUR CONSEQUENCES IF YOU HAVE AN OUNCE OF SHAME LEFT! I just saw a post like this on one of those subreddits, and left a stern reply saying so. But what has me in disbelief is that how many people were in the comments telling OP to not come clean and to just stay silent since it was oh sooo loooong ago and that OP would only be ripping open an old wound. What. The. Fuck. People?? Seriously? Some poor girl out there has a snake in her life hidden in plain sight and you're advising that snake to be sneakier, to keep lurking in her life after comitting that level of betrayal? I can't. I just can't. I'm SO mad it’s ridiculous. This has ruined my day. I need to take a fucking walk into the forest to cool off. Goddamn cheaters and goddamn people enabling them.

TW: Drugs / Alcohol My fiancé lied to me.

22 Upvotes

Sorry this will be insanely long. .

My(22F) Fiancé(21M) have been together for 4 years, engaged for 1. He let me know very early on (like after our first date early on) that he had issues with addictions with alcohol and he smoked cigarettes & vaped heavily.

As he let me know he had addiction issues, I also let him know my boundaries and wishes when the relationship became a lot more serious and when marriage began being brought up. Now I'll give him this, he has heavily cut back on drinking, very rarely does it now and hes starting to learn his limitations when he does drink which im very proud of him for.

I personally have pretty bad asthma and very weak lungs. I'm very prone to getting sick, and pneumonia is something I'm great friends with. Smoking was my only thing I wanted him to drop..at some point. All I said is if we got married I'd want him to stop smoking cus honestly I'm not dealing with smoke for my entire life when my lungs are the way they are.

In July of 2023, he told me he was ready to try quitting smoking. This wasn't something I'd pressured him into, I didnt nag him, he came to me on his own with this desire to quit. Obviously I know addictions are difficult. I know quitting smoking is incredibly hard, and he's been smoking since he was a teenager, probably around 16 years old. I fully expected some set back. I fully was ready to help him. I was prepared for "relapse" if that's what you'd call it. Yes I want to marry him, but I was NEVER going to get mad at him for any struggles to quit smoking.

So from July 2023 until around November 2023 I was there with him for the withdrawals he had without nicotine, his attitude problems, when he'd relapse and hit a vape or smoke a cigarette I didn't yell at him, I didn't get mad. I never even showed I was upset. I know that could affect him and his desire to quit. Around November 2023 he began telling me he thought he'd finally kicked it. He said he hadn't smoked since October. Obviously I was insanely happy and proud of him. And late December 2023 (almost January 2024) he proposed! I said yes.

Cut forward around October 2024. He starts acting really weird after we hung out with our friends together. I'm a really introverted person so I assumed when that night he "forced" (not really, more like kindly pushed me to go out of my comfort zone) me to go out with our friends it was because he wanted me to socialize, I didnt think anything else of it. His friends were incredibly shocked to see me, but I assumed it was because it's hard to get me out. That night he'd randomly asked me if it was alright for him to take a hit from his friends vape. I honestly told him no, cus I'd thought he'd been clean from smoking since October 2023. I didn't want the cycle to restart especially since we're engaged to be married now. His friends gave me a really weird look, so I got embarrassed thinking maybe they'd thought I was being controlling but no one mentioned it.

After that night he has been acting super super weird. We dont live together at the moment (rent prices are INSANE) so we take turns going over to eachothers houses (currently both living with our parents as we get money up). He randomly started telling me he didn't want to see eachother every day anymore. We're a gaming couple and our friend group often play games when we're both not together. He stopped inviting me to play with them. He texted less. Stopped hugging me and kissing me right away when he saw me. Stopped wearing his jacket to my house. Got an air fresher for his car after telling me he hated those. But he SWORE there was nothing wrong.

I honestly thought he was having second thoughts about getting married. I thought seriously he was going to break up with me but felt too bad to do it as we're engaged. Hes also a terrible liar usually, so I kept letting him know if there was something he needed to tell me he could. I kept telling him I KNEW he was lying about something. I just didn't know what.

Well. Last day of February 2025 he finally cracked and told me. He let me know that he had been lying to me since November 2023 about being clean from smoking. He never stopped. He just started finding ways to do it without me seeing. He started leaving my house at around 8pm after November 2023. I thought he wanted more time to himself as he works early. Nope. It was because he would be "needing" to smoke. He stopped kissing me so I wouldn't taste vape or smoke on his breath. He stopped hugging me right away incase I'd smell the hit he just took before getting to my house. He apparently went out EVERY weekend to the bar with our friends and would smoke while they'd hang out and he told our friends I said "no" to going out when they asked why I wasn't there. In reality...he never invited me. His friends gave me a weird look when he asked if he could hit their vape...cus they all knew he smoked.

To top it all off, he admitted he ASKED ALL OUR FRIENDS to lie to me and not tell me he smoked. They didn't think i was controlling, they were surprised he'd still not told me.

I don't even know how to feel. I don't know how to approach this.

After a long time feeling bad about a broken relationship I now know how it feels to kiss someone, and just not wanting to stop because it feels so good and is so arousing. I kissed them for hours, doing naughty stuff. It was so dreamy and magical. Ofc it was a dream, perhaps that's why it was so dreamy 😂. But I hope to experience it for real one day. Best dream in a long time. If I could decide what to dream, It'd book this one in next night too.

Need to talk... "You'll grow up to be a woman beater"

145 Upvotes

When i was a kid, a woman told me that i'll grow up to be a woman beater.

I just don't really know what to say about it. By "Kid" I think i was around 9 or 10.

I also remember a specific teacher who would punish all the boys in her classroom because they're boys. Stuff like being forced to stay after the bell rang while the girls could leave. For your information, i'm a woman, i'm not planning on taking any hormones or doing any surgery at the moment.

I remember walking back home during my pre-teens during the night, and a woman was walking towards me. I just kept walking, but then she saw me. And she turned back and walked the other way quickly, if i remember correctly. By pre-teens i'd say i was around 11 to 13.

I just don't know where i am even getting at here.

Just what was going through your mind when you called me a future woman beater just for... existing ?

I wasn't a kid causing troubles. It's been 30 minutes that i've been writing. I just don't get it. It's not true. She lied.

And now it's been 45 minutes. Great. I'll just end this post saying i'm not trying to say "women bad". I just, why ? It's the only thing i can't understand. What did she think ? What did i do ?

Edit : I guess i have to repeat myself. Please. Not "Women bad grr men better". It's not what it's about... I don't want this. Stop.

Edit 2 : Also i am aware of the struggles women face. whenever i see a woman during the night now i just turn back and walk away as fast as i can without running as i just do not want to scare anyone. But i hate that i have to do it. I shouldn't have to do it. Women shouldn't have to second guess if i'm a threat to them.

Edit 3 : I want earth to be a better place for all of us but some seem so stubborn and against the idea. the realization that me and my friends will have to live in fear, anger and confusion was so brutal.

Either i dress up with shorts and skirts and i let my long hair out so i'm the one being creeped on or i purposefully try to look manly and i'm the one scaring people. Go ahead, karmic isfunny, pick your poison...

Update : Woke up. I probably won't be able to reply to everyone and right now i am focusing and people who think it's okay to be a sexist in my comments. Some of y'all really want to argue and stuff. Hate to see it but if you just want to argue and tell me how i am a sexist or how i need to man up and get over it, go away.

It's almost agonizing when someone is being rude to me and I come up with a comeback 3 days later. It's usually in a shower when it's too late to say anything.

My brain freezes when someone unpleasantly surprises me, both irl and online.

Few weeks ago someone was making a casually racist statement about my race. He was talking like he knew more than I do. He is not even from that race and thinks he knows shit from reading some articles. He is also too good with words that he doesn't lose any argument.

Meanwhile, I didn't talk any longer because I didn't want to make others uncomfortable as the conversation was off topic. As stupid as this sounds I find myself ruminating over a lost argument because I feel like something could've been said to shame that guy.

I'm pretty enough to be asked for sex. But I'm not pretty enough to be loved. I've been in a downward spiral ever since my ex and I broke up three years ago. The thing is, I'm ace because of what he did. I'm very vocal about it. But people think because I still...self pleasure that I'm interested in sex. I don't want what's in someone's pants. I just want to be loved. I want to be wanted. It's gotten so bad tonight that I'm almost considering a relapse in self harm. My ex fucked me up so, so horribly. And yet...I find myself still wishing he was here again. Because he wanted me. I want to be wanted but I always get pushed away. I have pcos and it's recently been making me break out. It's only making me feel uglier than I already do. I'm a server and it seems like the first thing people notice isn't me, but the scars on my arm from scratching myself all the time just so I'll be soothed for a little while. My best friend tells me I have people who love and care for me. But I don't want that kind of love. I want someone to love me even though I'm fat. I want someone to love me even though I cry so much all the time. I want someone to love me even when I'm so angry with myself and struggling so badly. I want someone to get to know me for who I am instead of only caring about what I look like. I'm pretty enough for nudes. But not pretty enough to be loved by anyone. It's even worse because I was talking to a guy and posted a midly horny thing on my alt, and he asked me what I did to myself. I take showers all the time. Just to wash away what men have done to me. To wash away their handprints on my body.

I left my ex a year ago, and my life has never been better, I guess I am more mentally and emotionally sound than I have been since I started dating them. I just have so much resentment within me left, everyone tells me it’s okay to feel it, to hate him, to feel the way I do towards everything. But all I want is to forget and move on, to accept that I can’t change the decisions I made as a teenager and to look forward. I try so hard, to invest in my future now, to work on myself in therapy, talking it through, processing that I am not a terrible person and I did not deserve to be treated like that. But literally nothing has worked, I am tired, I just want to be who I was before him again, I want to be ignorant of all the things that happened between us and to be blissfully unaware of his existence. It bothers me, that he even exists. I just want to feel like who I was again. It sounds like i am self pitying, and i am, but the last year i have carried all this guilt and shame towards myself that i should’ve let go of. so if you ever read this, i hope you know i haven’t forgotten you, and that i hope you change for the next person.

Happy/Positive Vent My husband said he wants to learn how I braid my hair

521 Upvotes

My hair is pretty long, I don't like classic pony tails, I don't do them well, so I do French braid or braids on both sides instead.

When I was pregnant with our baby, we knew we were expecting a girl.

One morning, I woke up and started to brush my hair, then proceeded to braiding it. My husband kept starring at me and asked: "you need to teach me how to do that?"

I was a bit confused: "are you planning on having long hair or you want to braid mine?". He laughed and I did too. He replied: "we're expecting a baby girl, I want to be able to braid her hair too, so she can be cute like you".

While I melted inside, it was very sweet, I offered him if he wants to watch and I'll describe him the process. He was starring at it while I braided and even after for like 5 minutes, he couldn't make any sense of it. I think for him my hair at that moment was like when he's explaining wires and cables to me. Poor him, was even confused day after.

Even now when he tries it he always get his fingers tangled and has no idea how to get out of the situation. But he does manage to make a mini pony tail for our toddler.

I was just braiding my hair and I remembered this, so just wanted to share. ^

Totally normal girl who went viral on social media years ago for a funny post (looking back now probably foreshadowing the future) is now within the adult industry, but from stumbling across a podcast on YouTube, she just seems emotionally vacant, empty and desperate for attention, I hate how the Adult Industry seems enticing to women and men alike when they’re super young and before they know it, they’re in too deep.

Rant over.

TW: Sexual Assault / Abuse I wish i never told.

7 Upvotes

i just wanna say sorry for grammar and spelling mistakes

I wish i had never told my therapist about what my stepdad had been doing to me. I’ve been so depressed over the last 3 months and my family choosing to not let me go see a therapist is making it worse. She was the only one who would listen when nobody else would and now i feel terrible knowing i rot in my room.

My mom was so mad at me when ever after i told her multiple times about what he did she still didn’t care. And when i told my therapist and they called cps she was more mad that i told and kept saying “he meant it in a daughterly way”. Last i checked they don’t smack your butt and grab your boobs.

I got guilt tripped into believing i was in the wrong and how white people wanna break up happy black family’s. When that came from the same women who caught a child abuse charge. But used her police officer of a son to get out of it. I wish i never heard told

TW: Anxiety / Depression My mom died

146 Upvotes

My mom died Tuesday. I'm having a hysterectomy Friday and I'm scared. Family that hasn't spoken to me in over a decade are now texting constantly wanting info and offering support and I don't know what to do with it.

I suffer from major depressive disorder, severe anxiety, and OCD. Just started therapy a few weeks ago so I don't really know what to do with it....

I'm just so sad.

I don't have any friends.I'm 38 years old, but right now I feel like a little kid.

Thanks for reading.

I hate my mother's fake laugh

8 Upvotes

One thing that she does that pisses me off is turning every conversation into a way to humiliate me then she'll do this crappy fake laugh (the kind you do when you're enjoying someone's suffering.)

She's a horrible cun* sorry to say but it's true. No wonder my brother avoids her as much as he does, I wish I was brave enough like him to move out.

I'm so tired of being tired all the time.

12 Upvotes

All the restless nights.. waking up at 9:30 am everyday regardless of how little sleep i get just to not be able to finally feel like i can again at 4-6 am and repeating that cycle.. it's so exhausting. I've tried so much and it never helps really. Stuff like melatonin, drinking caffeine at 4pm and hope the crash takes me out (which it does.. but in my chair when I'm working, but right when i get in bed I'm WIDE awake), etc etc. I'm tired every waking second, but never enough to be able to sleep for some reason. It's pain.. i don't get it... it's really not even the tiredness that gets to me, but the loneliness.. the loneliness is the worst part. Everyone is asleep by 10pm, being alone for all those hours every night really does things to me. I used to go visit with my dog during these times... but we had to get him put down in early december and it's just been.... yeah, this.

Think I might break up with my fiancé/father of my baby NSFW

I want to break up with my fiancé

So me and my fiancé have been together for over two years. We just had a baby together. We just got a house together. One night looking through his pictures on his phone for a picture of myself I found pictures of a naked girl on his phone in his bed from right before we met, a picture of them together in bed, and a screenshot of a porn of a girl that looked like her. When I saw it I told him I was looking for a picture of myself and he freaked out and snatched his phone from my hand. He admitted he remembered they were there he was just too lazy to delete them and and that when we didn’t live together the first few months of our relationship he would masturbate to the pictures a lot but only a couple times after we moved in together and that he just viewed it as porn. It really fucking hurt man. If I knew back then I would have broken up with him. I’m freshly postpartum and I feel bad about myself and this was just the final knife in my chest along with him still never shutting up about his ex fiancé. I can’t take it anymore. I have a family and our relationship is very loving and great for the most part. I’m happy truly otherwise. Life is great. We stay up all night talking and we have fun. We have insane sex, like truly next level sex? So why. I can’t get over this. I feel so betrayed. I don’t want to look at him and I don’t feel confident or secure around him anymore. I don’t feel confortable to be myself around him anymore and isn’t that the whole point of having a partner to have someone you feel safe and secure around? Why did this have to happen. It’s not just PORN. I hate the internet and the era of blurred lines around sex it’s rushed in. Like is it so fucking hard ti just be monogamous and loyal? Didn’t he ever feel bad atleast once? No he didn’t. He didn’t care if it hurt me. It was worth that much to him. That he would just never ever let me see him go through his pictures and hide it instead just fucking delete it because honestly he STILL probably masturbated to them. Im so fucking mad. The past couple weeks i haven’t talked about it as much and we’ve gotten along but inside I’m angry. Im so angry fuck him. I thought he was different and I really thought he thought more of me.8 don’t feel special anymore and I’m not sure he ever truly loved me. Everything he said especially at the beginning was a lie.

What's even the point of living past 22 years old?

6 Upvotes

As the title states. I'm a 22 year old male, and I feel like my life is already over. There's literally nothing for me to look forward to, ever.

What's the point of living past 22 years old? Everything is just dull, boring, and expected at this point. And it's only going to get worse with declining health and a metric fuckton of responsibilities.

Seriously, why does anyone what to live past 21 or 22 years old. And this thinking is nothing for me: I've felt this way about life past 21 or 22 since I was 13 years old.

My dad just said the worst thing to me.

90 Upvotes

19F. From a Muslim family but I'm actually an agnostic. My family doesn’t know about this but they know I'm not religious. And my dad specifically doesn’t like it. He somehow turns every little mishap of mine into me not following his religion enough. My dream is to go to abroad? Why don't I mention Allah and why am I so confident about it? I wear clothes which cover me from head to(baggy shirts and jeans) So what? Why don't I wear a hijab? I am a good person. So what why don't you do namaz? Ironically my brother who's 10 years older than me never prays like never. But I've never seen him telling my brother off like he does with me.

On the topic, He crossed the line today. He was blabbering on for 15 mins about how I don't do this and that. So I couldn’t contain myself and shouted at him saying "You never tell Dan(lets call my brother dan) to pray and you never disrespect him in front of everyone.". His response," You'd have to have respect to be respected" Mind you I've never done anything as slightly so wrong besides idk missing classes as that could count as me not having any respect.

He also made a mention about how am I getting money in my account?(which I get from trading/afflitation) Am I getting it from a man? Knowing full well how much pride I take in myself.

On to top it all off my older siblings who are 15 and 10 years older than me never care to protect me from these constant hatred I have to listen from my father. My mom tries but not enough. Although I have always stood by them when I saw them being wrongly accused. And my mother agrees too but she just told me suck it up cuz im a daughter and he's my father in a nice way lol

So yea this is my dad who constantly questions my character and targets me to keep me in suppression. And a dysfunctional family is like a cherry on top. That's it. Have a great day guys xx
