But whatever. I’m tired of arguing. The discussion is pointless anyway. I should have listened to the top comment.

You already know what I think and I know that I’m not going to change your mind. What’s the point?

I was just trying to reassure OP that they aren’t alone in this opinion.

Siding with Depp in this case says something about you and I’m allowed my opinions, same as you and same as OP.

Check in with your lady on the asking her dad thing. Ultimately it’s up to her whether she feels it’s respectful or if she would be offended if you did so.

Congrats on taking this next step!

On this topic, yes.

You’re allowed to disagree with OP. And we’re allowed to disagree with you.

They only ever brought him to a doctor once in his short life. We may never know for sure, poor kid.

An engagement shouldn’t be a surprise, but a proposal can be (depending on what the couple wants!). As in your advice on discussing and agreeing jointly on getting engaged is really good.

My partner and myself decided against rings altogether and did a smaller wedding as well. It was awesome and not too expensive.

You’re right.

Lemmy hates women, don’t let these bastards get you down.

Aw man, your girlfriend and dad sound awesome! It’s not a problem, have a great night :)

I hope your friends come back, but y’know I also hope you start rebuilding your life without them in the meantime. You deserve to move on not for their sake, but for yours and your peace.

I totally understand missing them.

;)

Well even if you can’t move, I hope you realize that you don’t have to prove anything to them because they don’t matter anymore in your life. Don’t let them live rent free in your head and yes I know that’s a lot easier said than done lol

You’re alright, just let me be my grumpy womanly self at rude men and I’ll let you shitpost or whatever wherever you want as long as it’s not in the womensstuff community, deal?

I’m really glad you’re still here. Yeah that really sucks and no one deserves to go through that. It’s not a suffering competition, no one wins for additional suffering and I truly view that for everyone. Even the guys I might hold in some contempt lol

Not that you want any advice from a 40 year old queer mom, but have you looked into moving to a different city? Sometimes a fresh start is worth it. You’re worth it.

I promise you I don’t accuse people of rape and would never. I really was going to leave the convo there, but saw your edit and do want to reassure you.

That’s fucked up and I’m sorry you went through that.

Putting two and two together is a real struggle for you, isn’t it?

I do hope you have a better day than you seem to be having. Ciao.

Gotta get quality time in where we can, right? Haha that sounds lovely honestly :)

As are you.

I’m not your ex-girlfriend.

Oh I’m not allowed to act however I want but you are?

Why is that?

Not everyone who would find the group a good fit advertises their gender.

Maybe an offshoot private community from the main would be a good idea though.

Y’know to be fair I read through my comments here to see where I insulted you.

I didn’t find any insults.

Even strangers on an anonymous forum have immediately demonized me over this.

How interesting.
