  • Saying this with the caveat that many people don’t love religion and I get that, but please hear me out. I am Christian (the kind that loves queer people and supports women’s freedom to choose and whatall), and a couple of years ago my ex was in hospital which was a big shock. I did not have the supports and friends I do now, and it was lonely and scary and stressful. A very nice man on the street stopped me and asked if I would like a Virgin Mary medal to bless me, and that just made me feel so loved and cared for in that moment.







  • The trans widows things is extreme, but it would really be nice if the spouses of trans people had space to acknowledge that this is not what they signed up for, and while trans people should always be supported, their spouses DO have the right to say no, I don’t feel the same way about you without being made to feel badly for not just going along with it all. I would be supportive if it happened to me, but I would not be attracted to them any longer.


  • I’m not quite there yet because of logistical reasons, but I feel like I spent over 25 years getting a PhD in narcissistic personality disorder. If you are previously vulnerable prior to your relationship to people like this, your partner will take you for all they can get and make everything out to be your fault, no matter what heinous things they do. When they inevitably discard you, the light will go on about exactly how horrific they were all along. I do not blame him for everything that went wrong, but he sure orchestrated most of it, and magnified and distorted my every flaw to the umpteenth degree until I felt like I ruined everything all of the time. I absolutely did not, he’s just bat shit crazy.



  • It’s hard to face. It’s hard to feel most of all that you wasted your time and love on someone who isn’t at all who you thought they were.

    A woman I know slightly only through Facebook, her husband out of nowhere posted a video of her cheating on him. This woman seemed like a well brought up honest person with lovely children and a very middle class nice life, Christian, who has a mother who is the most saintly honest devoted generous person on earth, and yet here she was kissing an old friend. Not a nice thing to post but I get how shocked and hurt he is, and it’s a terrible thing to do to your spouse, and then lie to everyone in your life. Fish or cut bait, as my ex says.

    Well, my ex spent yesterday morning yelling at me for buying carrots and celery, so at least you aren’t being yelled at for buying vegetables and having to live with a sociopath.
