Damn... this story hits heavy.
She asked him to stop initiating, he actually listened for *sixteen months*, no pressure, no sneaking, nothing. And then one day he’s like “yeah I’m done living like roommates.”
The quiet part is what gets me. He wasn’t yelling or cheating or making threats. He just slowly checked out while still showing up for the kid and the laundry. That’s the scary part is when the fighting stops because one person already left in their head.
Sixteen months of “I’ll tell you when I’m ready” with no timeline is a long time to keep hoping the connection comes back. You can’t take one of the biggest parts of marriage off the table indefinitely and act surprised when the other person eventually walks.
Painful story. Real one though.
This might be the best CNN Scott Jennings clip yet.
"I am not accustomed to helping your party do anything. But let me give you some advice. This was the dumbest thing I've ever seen. And if you read the comments today, lord have mercy."
Reminder: An undocumented criminal who terrorized his building with a machete and has a history of avoiding deportation received an outpouring of community support after being grazed by a bullet. Meanwhile, a teenage boy is murdered by thugs on his way to school, and where is the outrage? No marches. No speeches. No blocking traffic demanding justice. Where the hell are the social justice warriors?
Imagine you work so hard and save up to get your son here in a better place after years of possible papers and appointments to get a visa and some fucking hoodlums wanna kill ur son because they’ve never had parental love or guidance! The African American community needs to start parenting these kids or else it’ll just be a repetitive cycle of self sabotage. Don’t blame the white man! Because every other race and other immigrants come here and work for a better life no problem.
All of you always want this but only a few reciprocate. Most of you offer nothing to your partners, you believe your beauty alone is enough you take sex out & you’d see most have nothing to offer. You don’t create an avenue to be liked, it’s always your man has to do this & that for you. Never what can I also do. Funny enough the women who experience men like these always treat them bad & they are all their exs. The quotes even confirm it. You people ask for men like this just to feel good but in reality you don’t. You can do all this for her & she will still leave
None, No one shouting and making noise has so far been able to convince any sensible Ghanaian that the Foreign Minister has committed any crime in the humanitarian evacuation of Ghanains from South Africa. Ignore the noisy gang whose presentations are at best passing for entertainment of Clowns in a bazaar ! Hon Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa is going NO WHERE! He remains our most diligent, effective, efficient and impactful Foreign Minister since 1992!
