| Don't know if this qualifies for this thread, but I named my newborn after my recently deceased nephew. I did it for me, not my sibling, but I do want him to know why we chose the name (it isn't obvious if you didn't know). He is still actively grieving and I haven't even seen him since DC was born to tell him, if I even would have at all. Now they are expecting again and I don't know when is the right time to tell him. I don't want to sound disingenuine by telling him like 5to years down the road. |

DH believes a lie I told him when we began dating and only one other living person now on earth knows the truth (my sibling).
It isnt a big deal - but it's wrong that he believes this lie and if I ever 'gotwanted caught' I would be mortified. |
I think we were both somewhat in love at different periods in the friendship. For me it was pure romantic love, not physical. I never felt that way toward a woman again in my life. Mostly, I've never let my guard down enough for even a close female friendship since her. I was really hurt by the way she ended it all. It was a brutal yanking apart of the most intense relationship outside of my family. |
It doesn't matter who she is married to --she is gay. This was her way of trying to change your relationship to a sexual one. There was nothing you could have done to save the friendship. Funnily enough, your secret is my fantasy. I was approached several times by women I did not know and rejected them. But in this scenario I surely would have taken the plunge. |

I was a bully in my early teens. No one stopped me. Now I feel like I need a therapy. I am ashamed and hate myself every time I think of what they had felt.
At the end, I am a good person, parent, spouse, and daughter. Just wish I had been a better kid. |
This is a weird post. There has never been a female member of the joint chiefs of staff. Perhaps OP means something else. But she also seems to want to out this person with references to her job and where she was educated. (Why else give detail like "small women's college in VA"?) |
Sexuality is rarely that straight forward. |
Great honesty here. Also demonstrates that bullying behavior is just as bad for the aggressor as for the victim(s), something that not alot of people think about. |
LOL! |
Not true according to the Joint Chiefs of Staff Website. |
This post is incredibly weird in that it is obviously intended to "out" the other woman without directly doing so. What is the purpose of mentioning that the woman attended a "small woman's college in VA" or was a "member of the joint chiefs of staff for a republican president?" Those facts have no relevance to the story. |
This is DC, baby! People need to brag or name drop in any way they can, even anonymously, without names. Wait, does that make sense??? |
great thanks Now I'm scrolling through bios. damn you! |
| Me too, lol. Guessing the school might be William & Mary? |
Is she bi? Also don't a lot of people experiment in college? |
