lukewarm for the summer

omgg same i wish i was a mouse

Same

being in your 20’s is like “if I can just get through this week I’ll be ok” but every fucking week

Thank god they decided to make more

Do you ever interact with someone and you realize “this person has never had to consider or think about what their place in the world is, and why they believe certain things or act certain ways, this person has never considered society at length” and it’s just terrifying

“I just vote for who my parents vote for” also, is one of the most bone chilling sentences i’ve ever heard

what order are you even supposed to read this in?

I don’t fucking know my man

This is NOT these women’s fault in any way - these men hide their misogyny until they think you’re hooked. They know what they are doing.

These women are wise and brave. I admire them so much!

Not even touching the fact that he thinks teachers and nurses are lesser…he wants her to be less so that he can be more.

Am i the only one that thinks they could have come back from this? Like please tell me this was just the straw that broke the camels back and not a one off event. He must be an at least somewhat respectable person if she managed to stay with him up til that point. Him feeling lesser is a taught facet of his life pushed upon him by the patriarchy. It obviously damaged the way he viewed his gf, and his relationship, but that doesnt mean it cant be untaught. And of course its not this womans responsibility to be his teacher, but i hope she at least made him aware that this is what happened and why she left…

This is so important. These are not normal or innocuous comments these are red flags and classic behavior of abusers. People like this are insanely manipulative. They hook you in and pick you apart piece by piece. It starts with this, moves on to isolating you from your support system, and then flashforward a few years and you’re convinced that you’ll never be good enough and you need them to survive. You end up broken and completely subservient. These women did the right thing and are brave for speaking. Abusers aren’t usually the neighbors you hear screaming and shattering dishes like you see in the movies. They’re your “friendly next door neighbors” and they keep quiet. People are too scared to talk. Again, why her speaking up is so important.

Also, women are not rehabilitation centers for poorly behaved men.

Ladies, this is how you do it.

They killed him

he is no longer here, he is sitting on the comfort couch

Yeah um I already played out this confrontation like 10 times in my head so if you could stick to the script I imagined for you, that’d be great, thanks.

You lil shit
