to ask you to tell us something you’d never admit IRL

[GooseAndSandals]

I’ll start with one of my less dark ones. I didn’t care when my father died.

Omg I proper belly laughed at this! 😄

Am separating from LTP of 25 years. Still living together while house sale goes through. Despite people saying 'so sorry' or 'that's sad', i actually can't wait to go our separate ways and i haven't cried about it once.

Had you met her the once or did you know her well?

There are some people where nothing makes them happy. It's not your job to make your parents happy. If they've made you feel inadequate in anyway then that's on them. Losing your twin must've been traumatic for them but that's obviously no reason to make you feel bad. Time to look elsewhere for happiness and fulfilment. I hope things get a lot better for you X

Sorry I know there have been some really sad posts, but this made me roar 😂

My 10 year old is starting chemotherapy soon. The doctors say the outlook is very positive, to him and to everyone I am being very positive and upbeat and keeping spirits up and insisting everything will be fine, because what else can you do? Inside I can't even think of it I'm so terrified.

Same here, and I haven’t shed a single tear either. In fact I can’t wait for him to not be in my damn space any more.

I once masturbated while waiting for a date outside Oxford Street tube station

I was relieved when my fil died

So was I, but then she was 97 with advanced dementia. Her former self would have been glad she was out of it, too.

My father has early stage Alzheimer’s, and is totally in the denial stage.
i will be relieved when he passes. I will be sad I’m sure, but I’m exhausted caring for him, working full time and looking after my own family (with a disabled child). I don’t wish it happens soon, but I also don’t wish it doesn’t. I’m just so tired.

I lie to taxi drivers! I don't even know why. I don't venture anything voluntarily, but if they ask me questions - just about anything, like where have you been out tonight or whatever - I make shit up. 🤣

I still have wonderful dreams about the man I had an affair with 25 years ago, despite having been married to my second husband for the last 20 years.

Big hugs 🫂 everything changes, life will get better. 💐

Name change just for this thread....

I should have had an affair with my married co-worker when I had the chance. Instead we stared at each other too long and I didn't dare make the move I know he wanted me to.

It would have been a one off. I still regret it. I miss him.

Sorry, this was meant to quote the Charlie Kirk sex dream comment

have you considered therapy?

I am having 2 separate sexual relationships with people I really shouldn't be.

I am sick to death of putting on my 'i'm really good' persona, when I'm actually breaking inside.

My daughter's way of speaking sometimes goes right through me and I want to get away from her ( nothing major just this whiney time she puts on the end of her sentences sometimes)

My oldest son will probably never get a girlfriend

I haven't bothered to stay in contact with my stepdad since my mum died cos I find him creepy and he's gross

Sending hugs. You must be in pieces. Are you part of any support groups for parents in this position?

Had decades of it but I obviously still need more 🤷‍♀️

I also obsessively watched that! I think it's possibly because I've never seen anyone get killed IRL as you just don't... and I was just full of actual morbid curiosity.

Me too. God, I have an adventurous life in the back of a black cab!

Im married and I shagged my married boss twice

I worry my oldest friend’s husband is one huge red flag. I’ve never got a good vibe from him. I always ask my friend if she’s ok, and she seems happy, but over the past 13 years I’ve wondered.
