O honey, it's time to cut the tie. u can't stay in a relationship w/o a sex life. U guys aren't even a couple anymore. U and him deserve to b happy. It's time for u to embrace who u r. Either have a conversation that u need intimacy. Either u get it from him or u get it else where. Talk to him about an open marriage.

I feel EVERY word this woman said. I was the only woman in a male dominated field. I was a commercial painter and as a female u get so much Xtra shit. I took had to claw my way to the top, as well as a recipient of sexual harassment. It's a very scary situation to b in as a lone woman. I was also in the union. My employer did not fire the man ( as they make u sign paper work about a no tolerance policy when u join the union and also w the company u work for.) I felt very much alone.

I have been trying to learn the language for eight months, but I have not achieved any results. I am not that stupid, but since today I have been guided to a new method, which is listening intensively. Well, I started this podcast. Until now, I did not understand what they were talking about, but I was attracted by the woman’s voice. Men, I am a believer, but finally I got...

mental illness is so so VERY ugly. I've watched my mother, 2 sisters and my own daughter go through bipolar disorder. personally I think it's harder on those close to the one w it. I understand the guilt, but her mother was very sick. none of this was her fault. she couldn't stop it. no matter how hard she tried.

The story about ruining the wedding night, that happened at my cousin's wedding. it was his cousin's and friends who got into the room and did all that crap. bride and groom were pissed. here's the kicker. I'm the one who got blamed, the groom was pretty vicious to me screaming and yelling how terrible I was and he'd never forgive me. The next morning he had to apologize to me.

I just finished listening but I cannot stop crying. I wish I could die instead of you man I am here far from you in a so called country or better call it a big prison named Iran under so much suffocations imposed by those mullahs I live without any hope without even a little hope of anything while you are dying killometers away full of life. Life is not fair I know man But let me tell you something it may relieve you a little. Dying like you is sometimes far more better than living like us ( Like me and many people here in my country). You lived your life although it might be short but we never lived our life we were always seeking it here. Something we couldn’t ever find. You have a son that you are proud of. You have a wife that you shared hundreds of memories together. You laughed with your family from bottom of your heart. Although I know there were difficulties sometimes. It is inevitable. But you lived every second that you could. Its quite different of living but wish to die e

"Next logical move" ... sends nude pictures in attempt to split up a couple because they are kind of annoying. Wow. And this gal is still acting like she is in the right.
