Sunday Confessions: 4-20-25

"I like my wife best when she’s drunk and we’re in Europe."

Welcome to Sunday Confessions. Each Sunday through Sunday Scaries Instagram stories, readers submit their totally-anonymous confessions. Because sometime it just feels good to get off your chest.

Do you ever do things to prioritize your mental health and then mid-event you’re stressed out that it’s not relaxing you enough? Maybe a meditation where you think “why isn’t this working” in the middle of it or a walk that becomes more sweaty than zen? Any tips? Thanks.

Here are this week’s confessions, which I really enjoyed this week for some reason.

My mom pays part of my rent. I’m 29.

Lost my corporate job last year. Make more money bartending and I’m having an identity crisis.

I am a full adult, but if my mom doesn’t get me an Easter basket, I’m going to scream.

I’m home for Easter and have to listen to my parents have sex.

I secretly started a semi-glutide and it’s not working. I gained weight.

My online stalking of teen daughter’s boyfriend’s family has reached mortifyingly unhealthy levels. I don’t see myself stopping any time soon.

I am practicing the "I want a divorce" conversation with my girlfriends to be ready to tell him soon. This summer? My marriage is so boring.

I mostly go to therapy so I have someone who actually has to keep all my secrets.

I want to break up with my bf because I miss the excitement of dating and meeting new people.

I am secretly delighted that heroin chic is back in style.

I have made an upcoming trip to Italy my entire personality - I have made my peace with being annoying about it.

I’m so ready for my friend to not be pregnant anymore. It’s all we’ve talked about for 9 months straight.

I lied about my flight time so I could escape the family vacation and sit in silence alone for a few hours before going home.

My wife keeps policing everything I say and do and it's driving me insane. But she's scary, so instead of being an adult and discussing it, I'm dumping it on an internet form instead.

I’m faking a smoking habit just to justify being the slowest runner at my running club.

Thinking of leaving my corporate role and go work at a retail store doing simple tasks.

Spending the week with my parents on vacay and they’re already driving me crazy. It’s day 0.5.

I threw my husband’s new credit card in the recycling bin by mistake, because I thought it was more junk mail. When he was looking for it, I let him believe it was stolen from our mailbox.

I heavily judge couples who name their children “Jackson.”

I think about moving to Scotland to live on a farm far away from people and society far too many times.

I drank out of my sick friends coffee cup so I can call out on Monday.

I think I’m addicted to the Ashley Madison app.

I’m going to my 10 year high school reunion and already made plans with my HS sweetheart. I still have feelings for them after all this time.

Raising a puppy makes me question if my husband and I are actually cut out for having a baby someday.

To be a happy woman all I need are gummies, a vibrator and sparkling water to keep me hydrated.

Sometimes I don’t empty my clean dishes out of the dishwasher. I’ll add the dirty ones to the clean ones and run them again.

I want to quit my sister’s wedding and focus on my life again.

I found the interview questions for an internal promotion and still didn’t get the job.

been stoned all day. Just realized it’s 4/20. It was meant to be.

Watching Yellowstone with family and it’s bringing out some unwanted and unpopular (political) opinions. We’re not even American.

I’ve been using chatGPT for everything. My weight loss, my therapist, meal planning, someone to vent to, and more. I tell it everything and honestly it’s changed my life for the better.

I like my wife best when she’s drunk and we’re in Europe.

I buy VIP concert ticket packages with the hope that I'll meet my rich husband in the exclusive lounge areas.

I’ve been recycling gifts for years, I honestly can’t remember the last time I actually spent money on a gift for someone.

A hair was in my meal at a restaurant this weekend and I pretended to get freaked out in front of friends, but it doesn’t really freak me out.

My MIL is offering several days a week of free childcare but I’d rather hire a nanny.

I made a sad playlist that I didn't send to anyone. I drank too much coffee. I didn't catch up on any of the work that I couldn't finish in the excited and nearly humid Friday afternoon. I ate at my favorite late night ramen dive Saturday night and walked around in my old red Reeboks until feed hurt. I let my cats run on me. I watched Jaws agian and tried to forget get that April was already more than half way over. I tried to play golf. I failed miserably.

adults who don’t like onions or tomatoes need to grow the fuck up.

I miss lockdown. Was in better shape. Mentally fit. The worst time for the world was the best for me.

Met a loaded guy in Cannes. He literally offered to book me a suite at Hotel de Paris (where he was staying) for the rest of my vacation because he was that desperate to sleep with me.

I made deviled eggs for a small group. I told them I bought the 6 pack of eggs, but really I bought the 12 pack and ate half of them by myself the night before.

I think it’s very concerning when a house has mugs that are all the same.

Blacked out while out with a group of my friend’s fiancé’s friends. Crushing hard on one of them and followed him around like a lost puppy all night. Can’t really remember much of the conversation but know I ask a million questions about his dog and think I asked about a date he mentioned he was going on like 3 weeks ago. Been picturing all the embarrassing things I probably said all day.

I’m a 36 year old woman who has never masturbated… (until yesterday).

I hung out with a new group of friends this week and it made me realize how much I want to let go of my old life.

I think my husband is attracted to his sister.

I ate an entire carrot cake.
