Is this why the rapture was trending on Twitter a few weeks ago?
Lesbian relationships also have the highest intimate partner violenceand divorce rates.

Coincidence?

Side note: Jim Jefferies new special is hilarious. I've seen him live a couple times and he does a great show.

He says: “I don’t need a woman! I’ve got UberEats, porn & the boys.”
You laugh.

She says: “I don’t need a man! I’ve got wine, a dog & my own money.”
You clap.

But let’s be honest. It’s the same narcissism in different packaging.

Embroider this on a throw pillow in your Man Cave:

If a woman says yes to a second date, she’s probably interested in you. If a woman is ready to move in with you by the second date, she’s probably nuts.©

Now you’re a narcissist who “makes her do all the emotional labor.”
The real emotional labor?
Being expected to co-regulate the emotions of a grown-ass adult.

This isn’t communication. It’s coercive control wrapped in TikTok mental health influencer therapy-speak. /2
Your BPD-NPD wife accuses you of cheating. You prove you’re not.
She gets more upset because you didn’t validate her feelings.
Can't you see why she feels you're a duplicitous scumbag?!

[Yes, I understand you haven't done what she's accused you of. In BPD-Land it matters not.] /1
Toxic ex shows up in court with lies, smears, and ego fluffing.
You show up with emails, tax returns, and receipts.
Guess who gets called “controlling”?
Narcissists don’t argue facts.
And they experience facts as attacks.

If a narcissist narcissists (or a borderline borderlines) in the forest and no one’s around to hear it…
Do they make a sound?

Who cares?!

You're not there to hear it.

Become one with the No Contact.
Namaste 😈

This isn’t “compromise.” It’s preemptive compliance.
A lot of men don’t get called out, they just slowly disappear.

And the reward for that?
Being told you’re still not doing enough.

Reclaiming your time, space, and sense of self isn’t selfish. It’s survival.

#ReclaimYourself
Ever give up your entire life to “keep the peace”—before there was even a fight?

She didn’t have to tell you to quit game night, cancel the gym, or ghost your family.

You already knew:
Resistance = Punishment
Being yourself = Losing love

Happy Father’s Day!

To all the dads showing up, even when they’re shut out, smeared, or silenced, you matter.

Extra virtual hugs today to the fathers fighting alienation. Your pain is real, and you're not alone.
Kidfluencing and sharenting are child abuse.
The documentary series “Bad Influence” follows the stage mothers who permitted their kids to generate content for the social-media star Piper Rockelle and for their own channels. Their aggrieved posturing “is dumbfounding,” Jessica Winter writes.
Regrets, the YouTube Moms Have a Few
The parents who exploit their kids for clicks in Netflix’s “Bad Influence” want you to think they couldn’t have known better.

That's a big ass bowl of WORD SALAD.
I think it's about the gay penguin book.
They didn’t gaslight you the whole time.
At some point, 𝘺𝘰𝘶 started doing it 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘮.

Narcissists & borderlines train you to lie to 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 —
So you’ll justify staying.

And it's another way they get you to do the work for them.

Your ex might be an asshole...

If they get off on petty custody games like "accidentally" never returning the kids' clothes, toys, and school or sports gear—until it's outgrown, trashed, or useless—just to waste your time, money, and sanity.

Relatable?
Narcissists and social media—it’s Scarface, but with mountains of Likes instead of cocaine.

They endlessly chase their next ego bump, snorting lines of validation, and getting high on their own supply—of attention.

Just Say Hell No.
