It was a fine summer's day that only the Reach could provide: pure sunshine pouring out over clear blue skies and fertile plains so verdant as to make the color green blush with envy. Bullshead Forest toed the border of Oldtown, a delineation of nature for if one crossed through its entirety, they would find themselves in Blackcrown proper. Various small streams were strewn through the area, enriching an already rich soil.
Upon a clearing of plains stood a plethora of cream-white linen tents: one grand tent larger than them all in the very center. Banners for House Hightower and House Bulwer rippled with the breeze and arrangements of garlands and flowers were strewn about. Flattened earth, compacted into a dirt pathway extended in each cardinal direction from the central tent, allowing for the carriages and horses of lords and ladies. Around the main tent were an even number of smaller ones, arranged carefully with the larger ones closest to the main area and the smallest around the out rims. Throughout the grounds, groups of young men labored at setting up great roasting pits for the game to come.
Warryn made his way through the ordered chaos, checking upon each of the areas in turn before making his way into the main tent as Reach lords and ladies arrived, his brother Edric at his heels assisting every which way.
Inside the central gathering-place, the earth had been covered with green carpeted wooden slabs. Wooden tables and chairs decorated the interior. To the side, a generous lounge area was filled with colorful benches, pillowed couches, and chaises. There was even a dance floor: an area of bare wooden floor next to which a band of bards already plying their instruments. A bevy of serving girls bearing crowns of flowers in their hair, arms full of wine jugs, and smiles upon their faces descended upon the interior of the tent to keep cups filled. With such a fine day outside, the sides of the tent were rolled up, kept open for the slight breeze that would travel through every now and again.
Even before the hunt itself began in earnest, there were displays of food available, a cornucopia of fruits: peaches, pomegranates, ripe melons and sweet summer strawberries. Plates of cheeses of all kinds scattered amongst bread: loaves, sweet and savory pastries, and little cakes.
Warryn was proud of it all, and secretly, glad he had received the blessing of the Hightowers, for their generosity made the hunt a larger affair instead of just a jostle through the woods amongst knights.
Soon, the tent was bursting with music and conversation. Through the din, Warryn managed to call for quiet, his loud, boisterous voice cutting through.
"My honorable lords and ladies of the Reach, knights, warriors, and friends. House Bulwer and House Hightower welcome you to a day of hunting, feasting, and merriment! For those who wish to join the hunt, we will be gathering outside and shall be on our way shortly. A prize will be awarded to the most impressive haul, awarded by Ser Harrold Hightower and myself. For those who do not wish to participate or whom find themselves with more delicate sensibilities, we bid you tarry here and enjoy yourself with the bounty of refreshments and good company. We shall dine on our spoils this eve. Seven blessings upon us all for a bounteous celebration."

So my girlfriend and I have been dating for about a year now and I will preface this by saying I love her incredibly much and can see a life with her apart from the issues surrounding our sex life. So for a bit of background, she struggles heavily with anxiety which definitely takes its toll. She has terrible anxiety induced insomnia which affects her pretty much every night that she has something on the next day (work, college, drinks etc). She also struggles a lot with self doubt and body image issues (I am always reassuring and complimenting her on her abilities, appearance etc). Gut issues like bloating (potentially also anxiety induced) also don’t help with the body image thing either. Then there’s the issue of vaginismus (again, probably also anxiety induced). The first few months of us being together there was no issues at all with penetration. She has told me that she have issues with previous partners before me however and had seen a pelvic floor therapist and used dilators to help resolve that, but stopped using them and threw them away a year (as a sort of celebration that she defeated it) before we got together. Also want to be clear - I have never once pressured her into penetrative sex especially not with the vaginismus. I have always been super clear that it doesn’t worry me and we don’t need penetration to have good sex and at the beginning of symptoms when could still PIV but sometimes would have pain, it was always on her terms and I always asked her to communicate any pain with me so I can stop. I have always been super supportive of her through this and never pressured her or made her feel bad. Couple other important details: I definitely have a high libido, hers used to be just medium, wasn’t a problem at all but seems to be low now. She has never had an orgasm and seems to think she never will. Her mom was quite sex negative growing up, saying stuff like sex is gross/men are gross etc from teen years onward - potentially to discourage? But I think all it did is harm my GF’s ideas around sex. Have noticed her mom can be quite dismissive of her dad and not take him seriously with requests or emotions etc. Wonder how this has affected my GF. Anyways, it’s been probably 6 months since the last time we had penetrative sex (which is fine) and a couple more months longer than that since it was regular. Before vaginismus was an issue we would have sex multiple times a week, go for multiple rounds etc - though our living arrangements at the time allowed for this. We have both moved back home to our parents houses for the time being (privacy isn’t an issue when at my house, but is at hers so she is usually too anxious of this to do anything at her house) so aren’t seeing each other as often as when were living in apartments with roommates - but we still probably see each other 2-4 times a week under normal circumstances, which you’d think would mean every time we meet at least at my house that we’d have some sort of sexual activity since its infrequent but this isn’t usually the case. Variety of reasons, sometimes it’s lack of sleep, sometimes she feels insecure, sometimes she is irritable and so on. The real issue is not the lack of PIV sex but the lack of sexual activity in general. Sometimes we go a week or more without really any sexual contact beyond a few kisses and cuddles as my advances for going further get rejected more often than not and she doesn’t really initiate. Average would probably be once per week of some sort of sexual activity usually lasting less than 15min. She also has never given me blowjob to completion - the few it’s gotten close she has got me or her to finish with hands because she doesn’t want me to finish in her mouth (which is fine, she has a very overactive gag reflex) but problem is usually she’ll give head for about a minute then just ask me to finish myself off while she watches then it’s all finished for the night. She also doesn’t really let me go down on her very often anymore despite her always enjoying it (at least that’s what she says and how she acts) and knowing how much I love it, and sometimes when I do she’ll just get me to wrap up early to just stop or on occasion to give me one of those BJs despite me being perfectly happy to go forever. Think she can get insecure about me being down there and seeing her body from that angle as well. I also get a lot of the typical “can we just have one night without any sexual stuff/all you think about is sex” sorta shit which just deflates me, but I feel like she says it as a defence mechanism to deflect from her insecurities or whatever the reason she doesn’t want to may be. I don’t want to have sex just to get off - I want to have sex because it’s the most intimate time with her and emotionally important to me. I think she must think I’m just a man with testosterone making me horny all the time, which while true, doesn’t mean I should just get over it as I don’t care for finishing more so the actual experience with her. I have resorted to masturbating a 3-5 times a week which just makes me feel lonely and want her. Occasionally we’ll have a night where it’s really intimate and fun and all my worries go away but this is like once a month max otherwise its the typical rejection or half ass blowjob/3 min of me giving her head. The good nights are still usually max 20-30 min and never second round or anything - we might do 69 (usually not as she gets insecure of me seeing her in that position) or something and thats as adventurous as it gets lol. Have talked about anal or pegging but she just seems indifferent so haven’t really pursued it much. She hasn’t pursued any sort of treatment for her vaginismus since this has been occurring with us (she mentioned at the start of the year she wanted to get over it, but nothing happened since then) which hurts a lot and makes my stomach churn to think that she obviously cared enough about sex with her FWB’s before me to use dilators and such to fix it. But won’t do it now? I just feel like I can’t really bring up wanting her to see a pelvic floor therapist and dilating again as it isn’t my place and I don’t want to seem selfish making it about me. And it makes her emotional to think about it and how daunting the road ahead to fixing it is. I guess it’s likely also anxiety and upbringing related and so would want her to see someone (CBT?) for that but don’t know how to approach the subject without coming across as selfish, seem like I’m guilt tripping her or hurting her feelings. I just feel really undesired and inadequate due to lack of her initiating and all of the rejection/dismissals toward my end and I really really miss what we had pre vaginismus. I really love this woman and love being intimate with her and all other parts of our relationship are great. I am so empathetic and supportive with all the roadblocks (vaginismus, anxiety, body image, insomnia) she has run into on the way but it seems like she gets too overwhelmed by all of them and then doesn’t want to do anything about any of it. Which I completely understand, but I can’t keep going like this. Any advice?

I let myself go during my relationship with my ex-boyfriend and I’m trying so hard to forgive myself for not loving myself more. I was so happy. I always smiled. I always laughed. I was silly. And now, I barely do any of that. And I truly miss her. I’m so sad. And I’m angry. Not at him, but at myself for not leaving and letting him get away with how terrible he treated me. He gave me so many bruises, and I ignored all of them and focused more on making him happy, instead of myself. He will never know how it feels to be used, and thrown away like a piece of garbage. To be thrown around and cursed and yelled at. He will continue to move on with his life as though nothing happened. And I will continue to pick up the pieces that he left behind. I trusted him and cared about him so much, and although I wasn’t the best girlfriend in the world, I loved him the best that I could even when I wanted to walk away..

Why they always want to poke their nose in someone's life fr I mean just mind your business. I never ask for the advice nor my family but still people want to just give random shitty advice that they know that they will not follow if they were in mine situation .
They always try to show how caring they are for you but no I can see through their eyes how caring are they . They will just use you and when they find out you can't help them anymore they will just left you and when you want help from them they will just ignore you .
Just fuck this kind of people .

If u have depression of any kind and u dont think anyone cares for u.Ur wrong there is always that one person out there that can give u the power and the will to keep u from possible suicide they are the people who u will or would favor in a situation of sadness or suicide.They keep u from ending it early and letting u to at least see what will come next they are like u superhero and they just are a needed part of ur life no matter what even if u have a stressful life or ur not wealthy like others or u have family problems u need that person.
I'm a normal teen suffering from some probably small life issues compared to others but I still have that person witch is my dad but if it's not ur dad or if he passed by now u can find that other person I believe in u.

So my brother and I had a complicated childhood and experienced domestic violence while growing up, we used to fight a lot and sometimes we beat each other really bad and he always used bad words for talking to me, however it wasn't a normal playful thing, it was actually violent and it caused a lot of damage.
As time passed by, things got a little better with our family situation but suddenly we had a terrible fight. So I thought our relationship got closer since we started doing more things together but everything changed when his girlfriend found four puppies. He asked if I could help taking care of them since he didn't liked dogs and I said yes but I wasn't sure if it would work out since I have two cats and one is very territorial. So he left the puppy remaining here because all of them were adopted and he suddenly started getting mad and changing his mind about where to left the dog, at this point I told him: hey I gotta work tomorrow and this puppy is very anxious so if he cries I'll take him to you in the morning. I also told him It was only until I got back from work.
He got mad and said that he hated when I called back my decisions, he has also been calling me bad names a lot until this conversation so I had enough and shushed him when he started to criticize me and we'll, he got even more angry and i forgot what happened next because I was terrified by the way he looked at me all mad and screamed and idk I got scared, I remember my therapist said I have a trauma with some male figures and this made it worse for me because I told him to leave, he wouldn't leave and kept pushing me so I couldn't open the door. I was really scared and i got nauseous and my head hurt like hell when he finally left.
This is not the first time that he has these outbursts, he has always been this way but now I can't take it anymore. I feel like I'm talking to a wall and i know he's my brother but he scares me and hurts me so much sometimes that idk how to talk to him anymore. Could anyone please tell me what should I do? He always tells me what I "do wrong" but he never actually listens to me. Should I cut him out of my life?

Hey all, I've been on a healing journey lately, trying to understand my mom's behavior. I see symptoms of both covert narcissism and OCPD. My therapist thinks OCPD is possible, but I'm not sure. I'd appreciate your insights and experiences. Growing up, I experienced emotional neglect, leading to low self-worth, need for external validation, fear of criticism, fear of rejection, and emotional detachment. My mom never took my side, was very controlling, and criticized me constantly. Her behavior was insidious and passive-aggressive, making it even more difficult to deal with. She claims to love me, but her actions made me feel unloved and unsupported.
Some examples of her behavior include:

1. Passive-aggressive manipulations, like criticizing me for not paying off my university debt, then later donating the same amount ($2000) to the homeless after I told her I couldn't afford it.
   
2. Obsession with cleanliness but keeping a dirty dishrag for years. She insisted on mopping the kitchen after I dropped an ice cube, making me feel like a burden.
   
3. Inability to admit fault, always presenting herself as the perfect mother.
   
4. Making me the scapegoat while my brother was the "golden child" because he participated in activities my parents valued.
   
5. Twisting compliments into criticisms, such as being supportive of my education, then suggesting I wasted years not completing my degree.
   
6. Exerting extreme control over my life, choosing my clothes until middle school, scrutinizing my friends, and avoiding emotional conversations. She once called 911 when I was in the 9th grade because my bus ran late on the first day of a new school. Not on me, but she was afraid for me.
   
7. Blaming me when I struggled to make friends after multiple moves, and lecturing me instead of supporting me when I showed signs of depression.
   

Despite her public-facing persona as a community advocate, she lacks empathy and care for me. I have ADHD, so we clashed a lot growing up. I moved away at 18 to escape her influence, but the passive-aggressive behavior still continues. I am avoiding all unnecessary contact with her.
I'm looking for insights and feedback from others in similar situations. Is my mom NPD or OCPD, and how can I heal my inner child?

How can i solve the error

It’s unlikely but there’s still enough time in the season for L. A. to climb up and slip into sixth. “I don’t care” Miller said. “Then right before the All-Star break you’re wondering ‘Are they for real?’ Then they came out of the All-Star break like oh s— they’re actually focused. It’s finally starting to get that playoff atmosphere. ”The Kings didn’t clinch that night. Martin’s memorable game-winner (seen in this nostalgic YouTube clip) actually came in Game 3. History should actually remember that Kings team as a feisty out for the defending champs. But it was still an entirely different game. “I’d have loved to do all that (centers do today)” Miller said. “I’ve been to many games since I’ve been retired. That’s why they built the arena here. ”Miller knows how this city gets down for some playoff basketball. Either (De’Aaron) Fox gets it and goes or (Sabonis) is bringing it up and controlling the offense. 8 seed Clippers. Their worst season during the playoff drought came a decade prior in 2008-09 where they finished with a 17-65 record — the worst in the league. April 15 Saturday night game. ”The NBA won’t draw up the schedule for that first weekend until the regular season is over and the matchups are set. Now the question turns to how far this Kings team can go once there. “It’s really hard to tell because their style is unique” Miller said. The roster also featured Miller (15. 0 PPG) and Shareef Abdul-Raheem (13. 6) off the bench. They finished the 2005-06 regular season ranked No. But it’s awesome to see the free flow and to see Sabonis allowed to do what he does best. ”AdvertisementMiller remains in the background. “Game 4 he made the layup to win by one. ”AdvertisementForgive Miller for the clerical error.

So first off, it's always been hard for me to go to sleep. Always takes a long time, always feels like a struggle, even if I'm tired. But for a while now, there's an added bonus of my brain decides to use late night time to beat me up about how my life is going nowhere, how I'm not ever going to fix my problems, how every day is a step closer to death without ever really living a life I cared about, etc.
I just want to sleep through the night. I just want to lay down and NOT have uncontrolable panic about the state of my life. I want to wake up actually feeling rested. Any tips?

The Fold (or Reef further north) is a very long wrinkle in the earth in Utah. Steep, rugged and remote this loop is centered around the southern end of the Fold with weird domes and spires on the east side and dramatic sandstone canyons cutting into the long sloping west side, before they spill into the E.
The route focused on climbing the two high points in the area in addition to linking a series of hard to get in and out of canyons, all while doing a big loop.
On the 70 mile route we found no maintained trails but did follow a game path for an hour or so on day 4. We saw no one else, despite this is the busy hiking season in the canyons.
Images: https://imgur.com/a/A8fpjUr
Driving the last two hours to our east side start we encountered only four vehicles, a couple of which were a tow truck pulling out a wanna-be overlander. As Brian like to say when bouncing us across some remote mesa in his beat up Ford Exploder: “Overlanding? It’s called car camping. Been doing it forever“.
The trailhead was decided for us when the road ahead suddenly was completely washed out by a flash flood from the day before. We loaded our packs and soon descended steeply into the significant crevice of HC Canyon before the 2000’ climb to a divide in the Fold. Eventually down in the canyons on the other side things got complex.
Several days later we again emerged on top of the Fold but much farther north. After a day and a half traversing the lofty spine we picked our way down a remote part with striking arches and deep pools to finish off.
Planned with GE and Caltopo the route pays homage the great Steve Allen by linking parts of three of his adventures with some home brewed lines on the map.
The difficulty felt moderate; YMMV. We have a good amount of experience with one mile-an-hour terrain on the Plateau. Hauling and lowering packs is second nature and a willingness to solo fourth class with exposure is often just a deep breath away. The main challenge on this one is dead accurate navigation and constant focus while off trail’ing for 10 hours a day. Going solo would have been outside my comfort zone due to remoteness and lack of help with the dog, because, as Charlie Brown knows well: If my dog can't go - I'm not going.
Hardest isolated moves was the exit of F Canyon via a steep fifth class wall above slippery Moqui steps. The longest rope assisted obstacle was 70’ tall and a day earlier.
My dog took it all in stride, so maybe it all wasn’t so bad.
Water is always a serious planning concern on the Plateau. This trip was sketched out years ago and laid dormant on my computer waiting for the conditions that came together this late March: a couple of big spring storms covered the area with flash floods followed by an unseasonably cold high pressure: potholes and canyon bottoms got filled with water before we arrived and highs in the low forties kept it there for the entire trip. There was snow in the deep shade of the incredible mile long ledge walk 800’ above GC Canyon.
Our TPW was around thirty pounds. That included newly built framed packs for testing, 80’ of 6mm rope, a brick of a film camera and some real coffee brewing luxuries boosted by a sack of heavy cream powder.
While we shared a 9x9 mid between three six foot plus guys and a dog, each of us did bring a white gas kitchen and the delicious food choices were individually packed, but carefully traded. To see us thru the cold evenings we took turns making pots of Mormon tea with raisins. All these core-warming hot drinks and elaborate dinners consumed a whopping 20 ounces of fuel per person.
Pro Bars and Lenny & Larry Complete cookies, in addition to salami, cheese, Fritos and torts completed the picture.
We used aqua mira as the silty post flood water would have killed a filter immediately. Cooking water needed no treating.
In packing our layers all us under estimated the wind and day-time biting cold, especially the conditions on top of the Fold. We even got hit with a couple of squally snow storms on the day long traverse from Cliff to Hall.
Lows hit the teens despite keeping all camps out of the deep canyon bottoms with their notorious pooling of cold air. Sharing a well sealed tent, wearing pretty much everything and eating a solid high fat diet gave us reasonable comfort with our non-quilts, aka sleeping bags, rated in the high twenties.
Phone/GPS navigation in this sort of complex terrain was indispensable. I loaded all phones with the route on 7.5 quads plus springs and known pothole waypoints. I also added pics of the appropriate pages from Allen’s book. We had three big power banks and spare charging cables, plus the redundancy of two capable apps with different map sets: iHike and MapOut. No single paper map covered the whole route so we didn’t bring any; also no one owned an emergency satellite beacon.

I (19F) have to get surgery done on my nose soon. I have a tattoo on my ribcage that I didn’t tell my parents about and was planning on not revealing until a couple years from now. One of my parents will be going to the surgery with me and I’m afraid the surgeon will say something about the tattoo if he sees it (not sure why he would but idk). Should I be worried about it? Will he need to have access to my body below the neck (other than resuscitation but at that point I’d hope my parents would care more ab my life than the tattoo)?

I have never told anyone about my SA, and I really need to get it off my chest. As soon as I found this, I immediately made a new account so I can tell anonymously.
TW- Attempted Suicide, Self harm
I am 21 F and I was 13 -15 when it all was happening. My brother was 17 when he started to get weird. He started to try to hug me, compliment me, ETC. My whole family never ever acted like that towards me, they always yelled and hit me, so I was very weirded out. This went on for around a week, until he came into my room in the middle of the night. I woke up to him, shirtless and touching my chest under my shirt. As soon as he noticed I woke up, he covered my mouth and told me not to say a word or he'd kill me. I was absolutely terrified. This started to happen every night, but every time it was worse. Maybe a month since it started, he raped me. It hurt so fucking bad, I was even bleeding. I hurt for a long time. I screamed and cried for him to stop but he just kept going. After he finished I asked him why he was doing this to me, and he just said "It's all you're good for." then walked out of my room. I believed him, and I started to hate myself, so I started to self harm. He didn't care whatsoever, he kept doing it every single night. When I turned 14, I finally worked up the courage to tell my dad, but he didn't believe me, he just said I'm just sensitive, and that I'm trying to get my brother in trouble, and that he is just 'teasing' me. My self harm got worse, but SH wasn't enough, so I tried to kill myself. It obviously didn't work, and I was hospitalized for a few days. They wanted me to start therapy, but my dad couldn't afford it, which absolutely sucked, everything went back to how it was, I wanted to try to kms again but I had no way to. The rape just continued, until I was 15, and I hit puberty. He just stopped, I'm guessing either he didn't like how I looked, or he didn't want me to get pregnant.
As soon as I turned 18 I moved as far away as I could, with no contact with any of my family, and I haven't seen them since, and I am so glad. My life has been so much better, I have an amazing job that I love, amazing house, amazing friends, and a cat. I do wish I could have had a better time as a teen, but oh well.

Hi all!
just found this sub and it’s already my new fav.
i come from a somewhat wealthy but dysfunctional family with a history of abuse, my mom is an addict, I have depression, anxiety, adhd, endometriosis and adenomyosis (yes, I’m female), been battling infertility for 7+ years, and I’m pretty happy lately.
how come?
constant work on myself. Accepting where I come from, what I have, and where I want To go. Working hard for it.

• finding a great life partner and continuously learning from each other
• learning to tell honest feedback from toxicity
• deciding who should know about what in my life (my parents do not need to know about things they will only talk down. Neither do friends who have no clue about what I do for work need to know everything about my job)
• people will talk shit when you decide to get better, cause you’re invalidating their excuses. It’s part of the process
• accepting life is hard at for everyone and I’m not as important that the universe would conspire against me
• Constantly learning and working on yourself, but also granting yourself breaks (still working on finding that balance)
• investing in my body’s it’s the only one I have (I’m 39 and ppl constantly tell me I look 25. Water!, sleep, healthy food, no drugs, hardly any alcohol, SLEEP, WORK OUT!). sacrificing sleep is the worst thing you can do
• having a degree/education is great, learning for fun is even greater - whatever it is that’s fun to your to me it’s languages
• free time: things can be fun and keep your brain shape. Games like wordle, numberle, puzzles, spelling bee etc.
• romanticizing life: make things nice that you enjoy. Nice clothes, nice food, nice music etc.
• read! Not just non-fiction. reading fiction is the healthiest escape there is.
• take care of yourself, not just the fun stuff, also the annoying stuff like doctor checkups, dentist etc.
• want brutally honest onions? Ask a child under the age of 7. They’re unable to lie
• live wildly beneath your means, nothing more relaxing (I could live for a decade without working)
• listening to my body, as a woman, I am very in sync with my cycle. on some days I have more energy and on other days I have less. I try to sync my work on social schedule to that
• morning routine that I can be proud of (moving, water, reading non-fiction)
• meds when needed, they’re a help and NO reason to be ashamed! My life is so much better in SSRI and stimulants

I love my friend Robert (fake name), but I'm absolutely embarrassed by him. In my eyes, he's a loser & an idiot for being with his wife. They're both 27 and have twin daughters that are 4 years old. He's happy! And that's great, but me & all his friend's had her first. Before meeting my friend Robert, his wife (we'll call her sally) was having sex with his entire friend group. It was me and 2 others guys that Robert knew. We all met her in college, she made college fun & took our virginities. Each of us had different classes with her, that's how me & Robert's other friends knew her. That's how they all had sex with her, because everyone had some sort of class with her during the day. Now obviously we didn't have sex with her at the same time, it was all separate occasions - but still, we all had our way with her.
Sally was just some blonde haired, blue eyed, freckled face chick with huge boobs we hanged out with because she was hot & hilarious. She was those chick's that wore denim, loved anime & came from a farmeranch family. She'll follow us around always, maybe she thought we were cool or something, so we got her involved in our friend group. She shared her hobbies, always got us invovled in her activities & was super fun to hang out with.
Sally was an awesome girl! So silly, hilarious, sweet & was the nicest person you can ever meet. She was an angel, so goofy & loved being adventurous. But unfortunately, I still just saw her as a chick I can have sex with.
Only reason we all know sally slept with the friend group, Is because me & Robert's other 2 friends brought it up. We realized the 3 of us were all at some point intimate with her, because we all had classes with her. We were all shocked, because we didn't know sally slept with the 3 of us. I thought I was the lucky one that only slept with her, but turns out Robert's other friend's were lucky too. We all lost our virginities to this girl, which was crazy. In our eyes, we thought she was easy & slutty so we wanted to continue seeing her.
Sally had a serious conversation with me & my 2 other friends when we introduced her to Robert. She fell in love with him, actually dated him in a serious way, didn't have sex with him quickly (which is funny) and the two of them became a couple. She was honest with him about her past with us, he didn't care & only cared about the future they'll have together. Sally asked that we respect her relationship with Robert and that everything we did together in college stay in the past. She said she's past all that stuff & wants something serious and special in her life: that being Robert. She wanted to move on with Robert, have a family with him and get married. She was insanely in love with him. She wanted something "real" and I guess Robert gave that to her.
That's exactly what they are now, they're married and still crazy for each other. She's a teacher, he own a restaurant & they have twin daughters. I don't care if I sound bad, but I'm embarrassed for Robert. His wife used to be a slut, now she's acting like nothing happened. We all did things with her, it's annoying she's acting like we didn't. She has that "I'm a wife & mother now" type of attitude, she's supposedly "matured". They're always going on vacations/traveling with their kids and I just cringe at the photos.
So yes, I'm embarrassed for Robert. There's definitely people out there that are also embarrassed for him, because they know how slutty sally was. But whatever, if he's happy & she's happy, then I guess that's fine. He's enjoying sloppy seconds & a girl that's used up completely.
I already know there's gonna be comments saying, "but women can enjoy sex too!" And "it's none of your business who she has sex with". That's true, but you're all hilarious for wanting to say that. It's just reddit defending women like always.
I don't care if she's a mom now, she's a slut in my eyes.
