My partner upset me today
by librastar29

...See more Hey everyone. This is very embarrassing to talk about but today my partner and i were having sex. He had known I am on my period right now and thats never really stopped us. In fact, he has made it very clear in the past that us being intimate should not be affected by my period, as long as i am ok with it. However, today we were changing positions and i had noticed there was a decent amount of blood and i immediately apologized and we started to get back to it, but he stopped us and said, "I'm sorry i cant." I apologized again, we cleaned up and i burst into tears. I cried for at least an hour, and he comforted me, cuddled me, and reassured me that everything is okay and he was sorry he upset me. I told him it was okay and I tried my best to act as normal as possible. He left my house and i tried to go on about my day as usual, but to be honest, ive been holding back tears all day, trying to distract myself from how the situation made me feel. Although my partner reassured me he is still attracted to me and isnt disgusted by me, unfortunately, that reassurance didnt make me feel any better about myself. Ive always struggled with gender and body dysphoria and i guess today just stirred up those feelings again. i feel embarrassed, ugly, and disgusted with myself. I am sorry this post is so long, just needed somewhere to put my feelings and im too insecure to talk to anyone in my personal life about it. thanks to anyone who has read this, please respond with any thoughts

SAHM Advice

...See more I’m a stay at home mom. I run our small family farm and manage our short term rental. I also clean 2 of our neighbors short term rentals. My spouse has one job M-F and every few months or so does some side work. He frequently tells me my work is not as important as his and rubs the fact that he makes more money in my face. It hurts my feelings and I feel I do a lot to contribute to the household. The house is clean I make the meals , run all the errands. I asked for help when our child wakes in the middle of the night and he says I need to help with that. I pushed back and said that the over night work would be a good time for him to contribute to our child’s needs at night. He thinks that is a ridiculous request and I still need to help at that time. Does anyone have advice on how they split work? Looking for other advice from stay at home moms. Where do you find balance or get a break?

Feeling awkward sharing this
by BlackBlueWhite

...See more (As usual I put a TW just in case//) Hello there everyone. I'm about to share something that makes me feel embarrassed but I need your support. I'm a 17 year old girl. I'm not happy with telling you this but I feel I had too. Males please don't read this, thank you. . . . I think I'm hyper romantic, because I start having feelings towers others very soon. (I'm straight) Like sometimes I start having feelings for a boy that I even haven't met before... I stop myself and think logical, but I'm tired of this. I think it's because I was raised with only my family and other girls, I have two +30 brothers but I never had a boy as friend. So when it comes to teen boys who are Older than me, my mind start playing tricks on me. But I have my rules, I know finding love isn't that Easley, and you probably know what I'm saying. So I don't do anything stupid out of this feelings, but it frustrated me sometimes. And I had homeschooling since 3th grade. I want to start participating in social after I turn 18, such as going to a education trip etc. altho I'm not unsocial, but my culture had fawls too. My point is, I'm afraid, what If I'm not ready for this trip? What if I have a break down when I meet a boy on my trip? How to stop this & grow?

"Breaking Barriers: A Girl's Rap Dream"
by Newton420
Last post
 January 21st
...See more I am just a young Pakistani girl with dreams that might seem too big for people around me. But to me, these dreams are my whole world. I’m 16 years old now, but I started rapping when I was just 10. At first, my parents were supportive, and there was no problem. But as I grew older, things changed. The people close to me, even my family, began to laugh at me. They didn’t understand. In our society, it's rare for girls to dream so big. We’re told to limit our ambitions, to stay within boundaries, to follow paths that are "acceptable." But I refuse to let go of my dream. Every single day, I work on myself—pushing harder, improving my skills, and building my confidence. It’s not easy. There are days when I feel like giving up, but I remind myself that my dreams are worth the fight. I want to show the world, especially our society, that girls can dream big. That we have the strength and courage to not only dream but to make those dreams come true. One day, I want to stand tall as a professional rapper, not just for me, but for every girl who has ever been told that her dreams are too big or that she should settle for less. I want to prove that girls like me, with the right passion and determination, can do anything. Please pray for me, that one day I will be able to show the world that nothing, not even society’s judgments, can stop a girl from achieving her dreams.
