My parents were separated and I lived with my mom. I personally think single moms are the real super woman. They work hard, love hard, they get shit done, and do it all without someone to lean on at the end of day.

You have every right to protect and defend yourself. Refusing to be hurt or lied to is not hateful or unkind. If an abuser refuses or is unable to acknowledge their wrong choices and are not trying their best to make changes, there is nothing that says you have to keep them in your life.
Firm boundaries established with kindness, respect and communication are critical to healthy relationships. We should state our boundaries clearly and calmly. Forgiveness does not mean we must tolerate continual dishonesty, manipulation, or abuse.
I found out that I like mine grown out too, so I guess it might not be uncommon.@KingPotato admitted he has an armpit hair fetish today. It was very eye-opening for me. I, too, am not alone with my fetish. Guess the only thing left to do now is to eat each others armpits out.

Very well said. I am learning that. In addition I am learning by their behavior when Iook back I don't think they were ever my good friend. In addition, recent observation has me thinking any chance at communication and reconciliation is being interfered with by a third party. So it's never going to happen and I have to walk awayEveryone is different and unique. Even people who are from the same hometown, from the same culture and background, can have different ideas about boundaries. It is so easy to innocently make a catastrophic mistake which can end a friendship.
I have this old friend. One day we were friends, then the next we were not. But I didn't know things had changed until months, possibly even years further down the road. To this day, I still do not know why. I could try and guess, but guessing is not knowing. I could think about every mistake I ever made. I could drive myself crazy thinking about it -- and, frankly, I have. It took a long time, a lot of anxiety and anguish, but at some point I just let go of it. Not that I am "over it" but I had to stop over-thinking, or thinking about it at all.
You had me at "singing" long before the boobies comment.Happy Valentine's Day to me and to all the singles out there!!! I'm not likely getting any gifts today and that's ok because I'm doing things I love. Going to work this morning after I drop off my son, afterwards a small cleaning job, then off to sing with friends. Practicing healthy self care has helped me tremendously in the grief department and it shows in my heart ❤ Oh and there will be boobies involved when I get home tonight![]()
