I only wish I didn't have one that got away. Because now, even though I'm married to someone else, I will always wonder what if. To make matters even worse, my ex thinks of me the same way. He's single and would give us a second chance in a heartbeat. That just makes things so much worse..why oh why couldn't he have been an asshole?! Then I could have washed my hands, and mind, of him forever.

I block anyone on Facebook who piss me off. I know it's petty but then I never have to see or associate negativity with those assholes ever again! And wouldn't you know, all the people I've blocked are all in my city and in local Facebook groups. 10 more years to go and I'm out of this damn town forever! So far I have 36 people blocked. I don't care if it's petty, that's just how I roll. I don't make a big production of it though.

Checked fb for the first time in forever today. I totally believe the reports that say fb can lead to depression because people compare their lives to others based on their fb pages. My sil, for example, looks like she's a happy newlywed with a perfect family and great job as a realtor. In reality, her family is a dysfunctional mess and she hasn't sold a house since June. It's all a façade. Why do people act so fake online? Isn't that shit exhausting?

I love her too! Beauty fades, stupid is forever LOL

With my situation, the guy was very toxic. He used to tell me lies about things he didn't need to lie about. Eventually the lies caught up to him because it's easier to tell the truth. Your lies become twisted and harder to maintain. He was a somewhat popular person in his social media circle. I got messages from strangers saying he'd been harassing their girlfriends/wives. He used to provoke others, slander them, argue back and forth online. He emotionally manipulated me and I felt insecure because of it. I allowed him to give me anxiety. I hadn't talk to him in several weeks, and when I saw his name in my inbox I felt panicked. Then I thought, I don't have to feel like this anymore. I don't. I stared at the block button forever and when I hit it I felt so relieved. I blocked him on everything we had contact on. Now I just have to forget about him.

I'm a mom to a kid who has ADHD & ADHD medication isn't mean to be used forever and long-term. Once they get older they are suppose to and are encouraged to develop coping mechanisms outside of the realm of usage of ADHD medication. My son is almost 10 and he knows this, I tell him he's not going to be on his meds forever, that he will need to develop coping mechanisms for his future cause his pills are not meant to be used for his entire life.

If I had to enter the dating world again, I might do a little snooping. Maybe not through a phone or email, but I remember they used to have this "When it doubt, check him out" thing where you could find if they had a criminal record. Things have changed so much since I was dating, and since I met my husband. There were no smart phones, no texting... it'd be hard for me to date again. I am not going to say I'd be perfect and never think about investigating. But then I also say I'd stay single forever. Dating is hard.

My ex decided he didn't really want to be a dad anymore, but goes around blaming me that he doesn't see our DD8. He stopped calling her or coming to see her over 5 months ago. Slowly over the past 4yrs he's been making excuses after excuses why he hasn't called or has to cancel his time with her. Then 5 months ago he just stopped all together. DD says it doesn't bother her, but some times she shows it. BF & I were talking about retirement plans (travelling to all states in an RV for a year or so). DD got all emotional, hugged me tight and kept begging me not to leave her and told me she wants us to live together forever. I seriously hate him. Because of him, she has abandonment issues. She's expressed a few times in the past about wanting to live with me forever, but she's never been so emotional about it. And the less he comes around, the clingier she gets with me.

I just spent a chunk of my Friday night reading weight loss success stories. They all basically said the same thing, you have to be patient, be consistent and eat foods you can stick with forever. I have been so overwhelmed with shitty advice, hoping to find a quick fix. I'm ready to just take a breath and start over.

At work a guy came in and said my god you're beautiful. I haven't received a compliment from BF or anyone else in forever. It's nice someone thinks so. I didn't realize how low my self esteem is until this morning :(
