Why Am I NOT Doing The Right Thing?

I caught him in a slip up last night and I KN...

HRT bleeding

Hi! I started on HRT in July—estradiol patch+progesterone pill. Yesterday, I had a tummy ache like I used to when I had my period and today I’m bleeding like I did when I had a regular period. I know this not totally uncommon but wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and what the outcome was.

Fake Absence

My guy was off on Sunday while I worked until 5:00. I always hear from him about that time to come over or do something for dinner but this time he didn’t. I wasn’t going to contact him first because on his days off he drinks all day. The only communication I got was a Snapchat saying good night at 11:30. I’m sure h...
