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

I often feel guilty over how I treated an ex. I didn’t love him and I didn’t treat him nicely.

This. Same.

No, I'm not married.

I would have said what the problem is originally, if I wanted to 😂

Ok. Kind of a vague and boring fess.

GooseAndSandals · 14/09/2025 21:48

I was sexually abused by my older sister when we were children. I’ve never told anyone or spoken to her about it since. Not sure if that has contributed to my life-long psychiatric problems.

I would imprison or shoot any man that wished to be in a position of power. After 20 years I would rethink my attitude depending on results.

Plushypineapple · 14/09/2025 21:48

I’m 100% planning revenge on my evil relative — just waiting for the right method and opportunity

potato08 · 14/09/2025 21:49

I want to live somewhere 5 hours away.
Dh knows.
He'll never agree though, so barring a lottery win, I'm stuck here 😔

From him, or from your current neighbourhood?

I don’t know 🤣

I envy you. I wish I had the self control but I have to listen in case I miss something.

I have decided that if I win the lotttery I will not be telling a soul. Not DP, family, friends. Noone. I am just going to keep it in my account for at least a year while I decide what to do with it. I will make plans to help who I want and give some to them but not for a year, secretly meet with financial advisors and get it locked down properly. I will carry on as normal, go to work and secretly view houses and choose the one i want and buy it and renovate it on the sly. Then one day, big reveal. I don't want anyone influencing me with their batshit ideas before i had time to think 😂

NormanSicily · 14/09/2025 21:51

I have just under £33k in savings that no-one knows about.

My best friend and I have both been single for a decade, we both have a child but mine is younger than hers, so her DD has left home. Shes just amazing. Shes now got into a fabulous relationship and I'm delighted for her and they have just gotten a house. But I'm also completely jealous. (I don't want my own relationship!) I miss her. I miss our chats for an hour in an evening, our spontaneous let's go watch this at the cinema, or try a new restaurant. I've been trying to plan something with her for weeks, but it's always she's doing x with BF or she's not sure yet.
I feel like I'm relegated to time she's not with him and if I ring whilst she is, then I get ushered off the phone. I'm just a little sad over it and hope it settles soon.

Where we live.
It's my home town, actually and we moved here for good reason (kids schooling) but I'm so sick of it.
I'm stuck here because dh won't consider moving, both dds still at home and one has 2 years left until they are 18.
I just forsee more years and years of supporting elderly parents, even if the dcs leave home.
It's been 10 years since my dad died, all care for mum has fallen to me, and I'm tired.

NoisyBiscuit · 14/09/2025 21:56

I broke up with one of the best people on the planet today. He has moved out.

ZiggyZowie · 14/09/2025 21:59

I find all humans disgusting, all the stuff inside trying to leak out of all the orifices, nose, bum ,mouth etc. I can't stand being near them .

That includes myself too

bubblebum53 · 14/09/2025 20:48

I met somebody once fifteen years ago and still can’t stop thinking about her. I am as unromantic as they come, don’t believe in love at first sight or soul mates or any of that rubbish but somehow she occupies space in my brain.

What happened bubble? Seems a long time ago for her to still have her in your head.

Pastaandoranges · 14/09/2025 21:59

GooseAndSandals · 14/09/2025 21:51

Would you ditch DP?

No, I would buy a large house with an annexe. He can live in there 😂

Op do you not think speaking to her might give you some closure? Im sorry you went through this

MermaidMummy06 · 14/09/2025 22:00

I know my DB, who everyone praises, is flat broke because of the adventurous life he's led. His new investment strategy he's boasting about is because they're in their 50's and are scrambling to find money to retire on. Because they have nothing.

Pessismistic · 14/09/2025 22:00

Seiheiki · 14/09/2025 21:46

That’s a shame can you not come out because of her?

Lessstressedhemum · 14/09/2025 22:00

Devilsmommy · 14/09/2025 21:43

I'd imagine there are many women who felt similar. At least he's dead now though, karma got the cunt in the end😁 hope you were able to escape too

He finally left 2 years ago because I moved one of my adult children back in after they'd had a very bad break up and had to move out their flat. The fud "didn't feel safe" with said child around, absolute wankstain. He left when his empty suicide threats didn't make me back down. 30 years of hell and all it took was moving my son back in!
I am a very failed Christian because I am full of rage and can't forgive him or myself for what he put my children through. Don't really care about what he did to me, I probably deserved it, but the trauma he's caused the kids, that's unforgivable. It's also unforgivable that I didn't fucking kill him when I had the chance
