Will it last?

I was in a 14-year marriage, and towards the end it became really difficult. By the time it ended, my ex and I no longer loved each other or even thought much of one another.

About six months after the marriage ended, I met my current partner. They’re very committed, but I find myself feeling scared—because I never thought my marriage would actually end, and now I worry about the future.

Has anyone else met a significant partner soon after a breakup, fallen hard, and had it last?

Both my mom's parents got with their new spouses immediately after divorce (I believe they cheated on each other) but anyway, they both remained married. My grandfather passed away and was married 40+ years to his 2nd wife. My Mom's mom is still married to her 2nd husband, so over 40 years too. I don't know how either felt as I only met them a few times as a kid but clearly they both had more success with their second marriages than they did the first go around!

I'm now in year 4 of relationship after 8 year marriage/14 years together. We met about a year after the separation but only 6ish months after I'd moved out. For me I was married young and in the first relationship very early on in life so we grew up and grew apart. I felt by time I met my now partner I more knew what I wanted and had time to be me. We see it being forever but if it isn't then we'll also manage and focus on the children! I didnt have children with my ex which obviously made the separation easier.

Has anyone else had issues with their friends that aren't pregnant or have kids?

I have a friend at work and we've become really close over the years. But ever since I become pregnant she just doesn't understand anything I'm going through which is fine except for the fact that the past few days I have been exhausted physically and socially. We have been helping another friend out for about a month now and we've had to keep him entertained as he's going through a rough time right now and it's drained me socially . my friend at work is frustrated because I'm not talking a lot and I'm exhausted and she doesn't understand why and I'm just curious if anybody else has had issues with friends that are not going to the same thing or have gone through the same thing as you connecting with you because she's literally mad at me. She stopped talking to me at work today and I just don't understand what to do.

STD rates and body count

Saw an interesting video and I’d love to hear everyone’s thoughts on this topic!

So std rates are at an all time high as we all know. Do you think the mindset that body count doesn’t matter has contributed to the significant increase of STDs and HIV?

Secondly if someone says that body count doesn’t matter do you believe they are less likely to practice safe sex compared to people who believe in more traditional values?

I can’t put all the combinations in the poll so feel free to comment just yes/no answers

Friends

I’ve been on this app for almost 5 years now I still can’t find one friend. I just need a friend. I’m so fucking lonely.

What happened to Zainab

Hey guys haven’t been on here in a sec! Just come to realise I haven’t seen any posts / comments from Zainab (I’m sure that’s her name 🫠) hoping she is ok , I’m sure she was a Mod but can’t seem to find her anymore 🤔

If your partner got a prostitute pregnant and then abandoned the child/ran away, what would be your response? Read…

So you were not in a relationship at the time or were about to be in a relationship, he gets the prostitute pregnant.
It’s her fault for not taking their morning after pill.
He tells her straight up that he’s not going to be involved and that she should terminate it.
She says that she won’t terminate and she hopes that he does stick around

So she deliberately gets pregnant, basically traps him

What would be your reaction?
he’s response is:
“She trapped me and it’s her fault for not taking the pill”
