hiddenmarlin14 said:I actually dig Louise’s cookbook—and that girl with the wind-up key 🙂 plus the Chernobyl mask with those bold, drawn-on eyebrows is pretty cool. As for Ruby, I think I'll grab an umbrella, even though I'm already wearing a raincoat 🤣

EDIT: Don't get worked up, guys—you're lacking a bit of imagination here 😳

Louise certainly knows how to sting😁

And as for creativity 🙂

like Napya 👍

I suspect we already have our winner 😁

Because a mask doesn't say much
It’s always about who’s pulling the strings.

Whether it's paint or grease,
The one in power takes the prize.

No matter what they wear
(Or what they strip down to)
Underneath the mask
The foundation remains exactly the same.

And when the structure starts to fail
The problem is never a small one. 🍿

Raymond Booth40 said:It wasn't always like this. At first, things felt much more like a committed relationship. Then, overnight, he just completely flipped the script and started acting like he was just casually dating someone... before, he actually treated me like we were together.

Every relationship operates within certain boundaries—it's what defines its structure.
Don't you think this one crossed those lines a long time ago?
The bottom line here is that you need to take action; honestly, you should have done it a while back...

Darth Vader said:Well, my username is a bit provocative—you just have to change a single vowel. 😁

And what about the avatar? 🙂

Raymond Booth40 said:It isn't just me; they aren't interested in anyone else either. It’s always the same excuse—that they just aren't looking for anyone right now. That's what the group above was saying.

You constantly bring up your ex...
He’s getting screwed from the side—do you really think he needs another one?
Maybe it’s time you started giving yourself some credit—or at least, some actual thought.

Raymond Booth40 said:I don't post anything inappropriate or provocative, but I definitely am. Take my word for it. I really need someone by my side to help me get back on my feet. It honestly bothers me when you all insist he's lying just because he claims he isn't seeing anyone right now.

Just post whatever you feel comfortable with.
Don't focus on the face—focus on the silhouette.
That shouldn't be an issue.

Raymond Booth40 said:I really need to understand why he won't commit to anyone. Honestly, being with him just leaves me feeling completely drained; I feel like my brain has been wiped clean and I'm not even the same person anymore.

He’s irrelevant to the core issue here.
What you actually lack is a backbone.

Raymond Booth40 said:Every single time I try to move on, you aren't there for me, and honestly, I don't feel like being with anyone else either. Is it even normal that he completely broke my spirit? I ended up walking away at 25 because I just lost all interest in men entirely.

You have to cut him out of your life entirely.
shadowbadger49 said:Then he clearly isn't that attractive. Back when I was seeing this incredibly hot girl... well, it's probably better if I don't go into detail. 😁 Honestly, I think the lighting might have been messing with your perception. ☕

Look, if a woman isn't feeling it, he just isn't hot enough—it's that simple.

Sean Kern2 said:Can someone please point out where I actually called her an angel? You don't need to be some NASA rocket scientist to see the girl is just incredibly naive. Besides, I’m not about to go out of my way to kick someone while they're down, regardless of gender—I've got at least a little bit of class left.😉

The real issue is that she's been tied to this guy since she was twenty-one, and he's spent four years conditioning her through sex. You want to talk about that?🙂

The problem is definitely that self-proclaimed predator; everything we're reading from her perspective is just the aftermath of being with him.

Using sex as a method of conditioning sounds like an even darker kind of psychological warfare.

She's still young—which means things will eventually improve, provided she stays far away from him...
shadowbadger49 said:It’s a blessing he isn't on this forum; if he actually heard what was on her mind, he’d sue her, take the kid, and absolutely ruin her life.
In my view, this behavior could even cross the line into criminal territory.

Deception...

Raymond Booth40 said:So what’s my issue here? He’s just as much to blame. If I were a man and he knew that, I wouldn't be hanging out with someone who wants to be with me when I don't feel the same way about him. He'd find someone else instead.

He isn't at fault—he was completely upfront with you.
The issue lies with you—specifically, why you keep swallowing his nonsense.

shadowbadger49 said:If I were here to defend him, I’d say the same thing, but I find it hilarious how you all pin the blame on him while treating her like some kind of angel. How much longer can you possibly keep defending her after the nonsense she's pulled? 😉

The guy isn't to blame; he's playing with his cards face up on the table. She's the real issue.

shadowbadger49 said:Some people really ought to be banned from the internet. 🙂

Yup

Sean Kern2 said:Seriously, go back and actually read your own posts. If it’s true that she was only 21 and he was already 33 when this whole thing kicked off, then yeah, that just adds another massive layer to his responsibility, doesn't it? He basically conditioned her to believe she’s good for nothing other than being his occasional distraction. Honestly, wouldn't it have been better if he’d found someone who could actually make a living from their talents instead?

But honestly, looking at the situation now, I can see exactly how this plays out. She’s going to play the "devoted partner" role for another three years until he hits that big 40, just so they can seal the deal with a pregnancy and make sure he’s stuck in this mess forever. Isn't that just classic?

Look, lady, do you actually think he’s going to pop the question just because you get pregnant? Or that he’ll suddenly step up and take care of the kid? If you aren't trolling me—and honestly, at this point, I'm starting to think you totally are—then you need a reality check. He won't. He’ll just give you the same old lines he’s been feeding you this whole time about how he doesn't care. Whether you're joking or not, good luck to you. You're gonna need it.

Exactly, I was thinking the damn same thing while reading through this thread.

A clean cut approach is the only way to go.
There isn't a single logical reason why a 25-year-old woman would waste her time on a guy like that...

jadetinker85 said:It's a scam. Honestly, if you're going down that road, you might as well try your luck with a famous tennis player, like the one who ended up with Boris Becker. 😁

The girl is only 25, yet she's describing some pretty extreme scenarios—getting pregnant without knowing.
She really ought to lay low; she doesn't need this kind of attention.

I’m casting my vote for Katica & boa👍

Sean Kern2 said:Yeah, tell me about it. Total shitshow.😬 🤣

I've got a killer song about this whole thing, so I'm gonna go drop it right over in the main forum thread.😁

Giving this one a like.👍
If things were different, this would make for a solid trio or a decent roleplay scenario.🤣

Sean Kern2 said:
I can't even deal right now. Is anyone else seeing this? Seriously, what is actually happening out there? It’s like we’re all just living in some weird fever dream where logic went out the window and nobody bothered to pick it up. You see something like this and you just have to wonder—are we all losing it, or is it just me? Honestly, it's getting ridiculous. kaže:
Look, my advice to the author? Just leave it. But don't do it as some calculated tactic to get what you want—do it as a way to actually find yourself again.
Look, they aren't going to change. Even if they claim to have actual feelings for you, all they really want is to own you. The truth is, they just don't care—you don't mean a damn thing to them. So why keep putting yourself through this? Seriously, stop hurting yourself over someone like that and go find someone who actually deserves you.

Spot on. I'm with you 100% on this one.👍

I mean, you can always just go out and buy a Glock. Simple as that.🙂

Look, I’m not trying to lecture you or anything—no need for all that over-explained nonsense—I’m just pointing out exactly what kind of level we're dealing with from Rachel Richardson here.

Don't even sweat the whole "ending up alone" thing, because honestly? The odds are basically zero. You break up with girls like that, and before you know it—give it six months tops—you're hearing they’re already walking down the aisle with some other guy? And let’s be real, the guy isn't even an upgrade; he's just someone who's actually smart enough to handle her and doesn't mind footing the bill.

Look, you're like 80% right on this one.

She claimed she was repulsed by the very concept of the male gender—but honestly, the comment was intended to be nothing more than a bit of lighthearted sarcasm.
A woman wasted four years on a self-absorbed guy—someone who doesn't even respect her enough to lie and pretend she's actually his girlfriend.
Your suggestion would be solid—if it weren't illegal.😬
Jonathan Anderson34 said:So, you asked if he wants to break up and he said no. Did you actually ask him if he wants to be in a committed relationship with you? Maybe give that a shot.

There’s no bread here—we need to cut this guy loose.

In that case, Nathan Turner2 is right—you’re clearly just obsessed with appearances.

But honestly, what's the point? What good is a title if it's built on nothing but lies?

Nathan Turner2 said:That’s just how I read her post. Perhaps I misinterpreted her intent.

I see it differently—it would be helpful if the author provided more specifics to clear this up.😬

Nathan Turner2 said:A relationship is simply when two adults consciously decide to be intimate. Some people don't even have that level of connection in their marriages.

The real issue here isn't the act itself, but the author's internal moral crisis. She’s trying to play both sides—acting virtuous while being promiscuous—and this hypocrisy finally caught up to her after four years.
If she just renamed the relationship, she could effectively erase that chapter of her life. She’d reclaim her perceived innocence, and she and her jerk of a partner could go on living happily ever after like some fairy tale.
I could solve her little dilemma myself with a thirty-second phone call to her "partner," assuming I actually had his number.

It seems a bit overblown to me—honestly, quite an exaggeration.

Do you think the issue is that he’s focusing on small-town gossip—all that surface-level chatter—instead of tackling the actual substance? I mean, the real stuff—community cohesion, the impact on the kids, and things like that.

Nathan Turner2 said:He probably had you handcuffed to him for four years.
The fault lies entirely with you; if that kind of relationship wasn't working, why did you stay?

What kind of "relationship" was it, anyway? Just hooking up whenever he felt like it.
