I was heartbroken and felt tossed aside. I didn't understand why our friendship wasn't worth anything to him if he couldn't have me romantically or sexually. I felt betrayed and dehumanised, like I didn't matter to him as a person but only as a romantic prospect.

When I told other friends about it, to my surprise they all sided with him. "He is heartbroken, it's hard to get rejected" even my THERAPIST said this. It's not like I didn't empathize with him, but wasn't I rejected too? No one else could see that but me, they placed me as some sort of villain that had power over him in that situation, when all I did was set a boundary between friendship and romance. All I did was not consent to the terms he wanted for our relationship, I rejected them, my terms were different and he rejected those.

I've had my heart broken by friends over and over and it hurt the same, if not more, than any romantic heartbreak. Why is friendship undervalued next to romantic feelings?

i desperately need people to stop avoiding what this post is actually about. stop derailing and trying to make it be about something else instead.

THIS POST IS ABOUT ROMANTIC CONSENT.

even if the person in question didn't want to fuck them, even if he just wanted a wholesome, purely romantic, nothing sexual at all relationship, it would STILL be fucked up to BLAME someone for rejecting that.

similarly, if someone really wanted to just fuck, but they were honest and clear about that, and handled rejection gracefully, there would be literally no issue with that.

you'll never believe. whose main blog that post was from. hi, it's me, tumblr user radioactive-yuri, formerly known as thermodynamic-comedian. this is my side blog. and a good few years ago, i made that very post on my main blog.

So, for non-SDV players, in most farming sims you can get married to certain characters and have children with them, however this is typically a permanent choice that can't be undone, so if you want to marry someone else or not have kids you would have to start over with a fresh save.

But SDV is different. The game has a witch's hut you can eventually unlock that lets you use...black magic, basically, to soft-reset marriage/children choices without starting over. There's a divorce option so you can ditch your spouse, but that's the only normal one. It also adds an option to turn your children into doves to get rid of them, hence OP saying they "birded" their kids. You're not...technically killing them...but only barely.

(It also adds an option to mind-wipe your previous spouse so they don't remember being married to you and thus don't hate you, and you can even remarry them then if you want, but I don't think that was needed for this, just figured it was sinister enough to warrant a mention.)

All that to say, the reddit OP married a character, progressed to the point that they had a child with them, and then used black magic to "kill" the child and divorce their spouse before moving on to the next marriage candidate and doing the same, over and over until they had gone through all twelve marriage candidates, resulting in a collection of twelve "dead" children.

is some uniquely unhinged

behavior indeed.

Story written by @rumiandroses

Ahmed’s family has no shelter, no warm clothing, and no way to meet their most basic needs as winter sets in. With temperatures dropping, the need for protection against the cold is urgent. A simple $50 donation can provide a new tent and winter clothes for Ahmed and his family, offering them some relief and dignity in these unthinkable conditions.

Ahmed has turned to the generosity of others to help him survive. Your donation can make a profound difference in his life, providing the shelter and warmth that everyone deserves. Even if you cannot contribute financially, sharing Ahmed’s story can help reach others who might be able to assist financially.

You can donate to Ahmed's GoFundMe [HERE].

We are living through very difficult days. We have no source of income, and we don’t know how to provide our basic needs or my mother’s treatment. Every day her condition is getting worse, and the doctors confirmed that my mother urgently needs heart surgery as soon as possible.

I’m writing this while feeling fear and pain… I’m afraid of losing my mother in front of my eyes simply because we cannot afford the treatment.

Please don’t leave me alone in this. One share from you could reach someone who can help, and even a small donation could help save her life.

Please share this post and donate anything you can. Your help today might be the last hope to save my mother. 🙏💔

Millions of people are now fully aware that this corrupt, genuinely evil company has weaponized an entire police force to attack people that are trying to get back a collection of Legos they STOLE from AN OLD MAN.

Reckless Ben and his crew have gone through every legal route to get this man's Legos back, OR the money they're worth, only to get harassed, their home raided, and even jailed. It's UNBELIEVABLY corrupt, and it turns out the owners and cops are all mormons, which is why they're literally violating basic human rights over A COLLECTION OF LEGO.
