Yep, im friends with a few people who we are basically the polar opposites on EVERYTHINGGGGGG political (one is going to be my bridesmaid and there are at least 2 more im close enough to that they're coming on my hen do 😂) we agree on the fun stuff like movies, books, shows, food, activities... if you fall out with friends over politics I think its bloody pathetic tbh 🙄 everyone has opinions and everyone has reasons, live and let live, we shouldn't let politics divide us

If you’re specifically a MAGA/ Trump supporter, no I cannot be friends with you.

Depends on what we disagree on politically

I think I can be friends with anyone but yeah, for my country, if you’re a trump supporter, it’s best to avoid political discussion. which is hard these days. but both my parents voted trump, and my dad in particular is a huge fan, so i’ve had to learn how to get along with them.

most divisive president ever. it’s really sad.

I can be friends with people with different opinions and views, (not a lot of people hold all my opinions & views) I cannot be friends with people who are bigoted and hateful.

Anyone else's partner lack common sense?!

My partner is a complete & utter COCK when it comes to using common sense.

Items will literally make it easy for you by saying 'open here' or 'peel here' & he'll still take a knife & cut through it & then it loses its freshness cuz it's opened incorrectly 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

He opens tins with a knife like an animal when we've got a can opener in the draw. Ugh, I really don't understand how men's brains (if they've got one) works!! 🤬

Would you befriend her?

You meet a woman, in a small town. She's married but a couple of yrs ago supposedly cheated on her husband. They appear to be happily married today, with 3 kids, 1 being a newborn. She's very sweet & interested in making female friends....but would you distance yourself too due to the rumor mill?

What happens next long post

My marriage has been failing for many years. I married a man I thought I loved. He’s a good guy never cheated on me never raised a hand to me. Has a kind heart and very handsome. When we first met I earned a very high salary as did he. Whirlwind romance we married and fell pregnant quickly. I had a late term loss. I didn’t cope well. He didn’t support me at all. Instead he treated me rather poorly and my love begun to fade. I quit work stepped down and earned a lower salary whilst supporting him excelling in his business. Now he’s on a 6 figure salary. Whatever I want I have. But I am constantly reminded that he is the high earner.
Our marriage lost love and respect a long time ago for a number of reasons. Whatever he done to me I loved him and I stayed. When I finally walked he begged me back and after weeks I caved and returned home. Fast forward a couple of years I am 4 mo this post partum and we have 4 young children. The arguing is daily. Were misrible and have agreed to begin divorce proceedings. Today he told me he hasn’t loved me for a long time. It broke my heart. I’ve been praying for this marriage to end a long time but now he’s finally admitted he is not in love with me why does it hurt so much? Sometimes I feel weak I cry. If he catches me he’ll say things like “my god crying again? Wow” I just want to snap my fingers and be at the other end of this.

🥲

Does anyone else feel unseen or heard when it comes to bringing your baby around other people including family? A lot of the time I try to have a conversation with my family about something un baby related I find myself talking to myself because said people are talking / making faces at my baby instead? It’s starting to make me feel over looked and forgotten? It also follows along with the fact that no one ever wants to see me because they miss me but because they miss my baby? 🤷‍♀️

Want to meet up?

I’m in Akron, I’m 29 ,any mom want to meet and be friends forever after ? Lol 😂. Honestly would love some company when I go out with my boys (6&3) to the library and playground..

Obnoxious fans

My god I hate obnoxious fans. Like seriously what is honking at 12am doing? The Knicks players aren't going to freaking hear you. Be quiet, go home, and let my child sleep! I'm all about fun but honking obnoxiously and fireworks for a game?! Oh gosh I'm getting old hahaha
