It’s been almost two years now. Yeah, I’d say so. It’s cozier here.

I didn’t want to stop using my app of choice.

The MAGA types I know would probably consider you a lesbian playing dress up.

That’s pretty ironic considering she did what op’s dad did.

Edit: I just read the extra details that OP shared. Wow. You were way off, huh? 😂

Let me be perfectly clear.

THIS IS NOT THE KID’S PROBLEM.

Forcing them to take sides has ONLY NEGATIVE EFFECTS ON THE CHILD.

I know you REALLY feel for Mom, and want justice for her, and I don’t disagree with that, and I’m not defending Dad’s actions, but you need to be saying these things to Mom, or her peers (siblings, friends, HER parents)

You are trying to convince OP to weaponize themselves against their parent in order to enforce justice on someone that you don’t like and have never met.

Please stop.

Unless you are their mother and refuse to talk to them, that’s not up to you.

And if you are, or if she has the same plan, then OP would probably be better off without.

I’m sure it is hard for Mom right now, but she’s not in the room, so, we’re focusing on OPs well being.

It is not the kid’s responsibility to be their parent’s support team.

It is not the kid’s responsibility to dispense justice for the other parent.

Just because OP is the only character in this story we can interact with, it doesn’t mean that they need to right every wrong in it.

Good for you!

So, if she won’t give herself to you, you can stop wasting your time on her and find someone else to hang around and obsess over?

I recognize this behavior, because I used to do it. Spoiler: it doesn’t work.

Go meet more people, stop treating women differently from men, and remember: getting laid won’t happen until you stop forcing it.

Your feelings for what?

If she’s not a good enough friend that you’re willing to just walk away from her, then dating is probably a bad idea.

I mean, they pull oil from the ground, only makes sense to put it back from where it came. 🤷🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️

Yup, I used to hit up those places because quick and cheap are my favorites!

But, sure enough, one of them screwed everything up so bad, the next place refused to even attempt it.

The dealership where I bought my last car offers free inspections each year, so I just have them do the oil during that.

“But Google said this was safe!”

Yeah, I didn’t feel it necessary to point it out. I knew what they meant.

If he wants a raw manly scent, why is he using soap at all?

Oh good! I’m not the only one who says this all the time. 😂

Fair enough, but was one of you 30 years older than the other? I’m not saying there aren’t healthy relationships with circumstances that might otherwise be a red flag.

Hell, when I first hooked up with my current wife, I was her direct supervisor at work. Big red flag there! We ended up breaking it off for the obvious complications, but ran into each other ten years later, tried again under new conditions, and are now happily married with quite the extended family.

But the combination of a teenager/early 20s and a middle aged person in a situation like those, is more than likely to be a dysfunctional unbalanced relationship.

When a repeat victim of domestic violence refuses to press charges against their partner, and continues to take them back, as is commonly seen in this scenario, do YOU personally think that is their “choice” (as in: they truly desire to remain in this situation forever) or that they would choose otherwise, but due to emotional trauma and manipulation, they are psychologically unable to get away?

They’re all a bunch of cocks as far as I’m concerned!
