My first boyfriend took advantage of me and I want an apology

Twenty-one-year-old female here. When we were both 14, my first boyfriend took advantage of me.

Happy slapping

posted Thursday, December 20, 2012 at 1:00am

Sometimes I feel like I'd like to slap my wife. I find this detestable, as the mother of my kids, not to mention a woman. But sometimes she can be so stubborn and pig-headed. Her lack of consideration and ability to listen make me SO frustratrated. And the things she comes out with seem to be so ignorant that they are on purpose. She is the type of person that will take something off the rack at a clothing store and discard it on the ground. I say that not fully to try and gain your sympathy, but just sayin' Or maybe it's because I worked at The Gap?

I wanna watch

I enjoy watching my girlfriend have sex with other men.

I'm a jerk who always screws up

I am not with the girl I love because we live on two different continents, but I still love her and she loves me. And knowing the person you love feels the same way is the best feeling in the world. I thought I couldn't be in a long-distance relationship, but that's pretty much what we've been doing for the past 11 months. We tried to date other people the last half of this year and it just showed me how much I love her. I'm coming home in a few days and I want to tell her how much she really means to me, to show it because words are not enough, but I can't do that. I got someone pregnant and I feel like I destroyed my future. I already know I lost the one girl I love the most... She doesn't even know it yet. And that's the worst feeling in the world.

My Life Became a Country Song

3 weeks ago you said goodbye. You took the dog. I am not sure what really happened. One day you loved me, then the next day you did not. It was a pretty crappy birthday present. I would love to find out the truth, but I guess I never will. Since we are both too stubborn to contact each other, the truth shall be forever hidden, just like the extra set of house keys. I put on a smiley face for the public this Christmas, but it sure doesn't feel like Christmas. Feels more like a never ending funeral.

I originally agreed to meet up with you, handsome man, for sex. I didn't know you would actually take me out for non-sexual activities. I didn't know you'd be so cool. But since I put out the first night, I get the feeling that's all you'll think I want out of this. Fuck. I wish I had kept more concealed instead of putting it all out there the first couple nights. I feel like I ruined a legitimate chance at having an awesome relationship by misreading (and getting drunk) the first night. You live and you learn, I guess. I just wish I learned how to be a better date before our first date so I could call you without either of us expecting to bone.

Icing on the Carrot

My friend told me a true heart felt story and I'd like to share it. A man was in a financial bind yet met the love of his life & was stressing on how to propose. One night while they were prepping dinner together, he proposed to her and said "I don't have enough money to buy you a carat diamond, but will you marry me with this 'carrot' ring? They've been married 10 yrs , 2 kids & still, no rings. I confess that deep down I should muster the strength to shed social norms, societal pressures & family tradition on how things 'should' be. I just want to be happy.

Love Vancouver

I didn't spend as much time living there as I would have liked but I thoroughly enjoyed everything it had to offer. I've lived many places and Vancouver, by far, is the most beautiful, friendly and optimistic place I've ever called home. I will be back.
