@TWOTIMESABITCH Real talk. Lonely women make friends. They go to therapy. They develop hobbies, etc. Lonely men rage and blame everyone but themselves for their loneliness.
Keep your problems smaller than your life. A flat tire is a flat tire. A bad meeting is a bad meeting. A canceled flight is just an extra two hours. These things become catastrophes when you let them. But they stay manageable when you remember the depth of your real life- the people you love, the work you care about, the beautiful years still ahead. Zoom out. Fit your reaction to the size of the problem.
Notice how all the excitement dies down the second the man can't overpower her? They're never cheering for the fight, they just wanted to watch a woman get hurt.
@duicebiggs 1.) You lied about birth control
2.) He told you he didnt want it
3.) You thought he was bullshitting
4.) Your life stopped being about you and got way harder once you decided to have the baby anyways
