Sunday Confessions: 5-19-24
"I’m an au pair and I slept with my employer's dad..."
I was squinting while looking through this week’s submissions. Not because they’re particularly bad, but because I think my eyes are as dry as they can possibly be after staring at The Sphere’s screen for three straight nights this weekend.
The silver lining? I didn’t drink much in Vegas after dark so I’m feeling fresher than I deserve today.
Let’s get into this week’s confessions.
I actually kinda hate my family!
Thinking about this all weekend: Trying to decide if I’m going to keep my mouth shut in my last week of my job….or tell the CEO how my boss has been gaslighting me on the way out.
I have an interview Monday for a job I don’t want. I’m the only applicant. (Big salary and travel bump).
Thinking of breaking up with my situationship+ for fireable offenses (not huge fireable offenses, but more so policy breach offenses). Holding out because given current circumstances they will assuredly act the victim, and when it happens I want them to experience emotional evisceration. I realize the likelihood of this ending up an actual “lesson” for them is slim-to-none, but I’ll feel better.
Between having to put my dog down last week and this being the final week of my job of the last 6 years, my mental state is not great currently.
Called out for tomorrow because I am mentally unprepared for the week ahead.
I’m in love with my brother’s wife’s brother. We were both in a wedding this weekend and were paired together for entrances. We flirted all night and all I can think about is how much I want to see him again. Personally I don’t think it’s weird considering we’re not related by blood at all and it would be great to have the same in-laws but I’d be mortified to tell my friends.
My mom has terminal cancer which absolutely blows, don’t get me wrong, but now we both call it “pulling a C card” when we use it as an excuse to get out of awkard social situations… or to buy a puppy my dad maybe didn’t want. It’s cute though.
I had a friend stay over the weekend and as we have gotten older she has become more demanding and narcissistic. I always loved her as a person but all topics revolve around how amazing she is, her delusions of grandeur, and constant requests. So glad she left for home today.
Due to circumstances beyond me, I hung out with a different friend group all weekend and it made me realize how stuck in a rut I am with my current friend group. Can I… trade?
I love my husband but I don’t think he’ll ever fully understand how to do his share of the work in our household. I worry a lot about having kids because of this.
Found out my client has a crush on me. We hung out last night, and things might’ve escalated too far afterwards (via text). I’m in a relationship.
Before we had kids, I loved and admired my husband so much and I thought he’d be the best dad. Now that we have two kids, I’m so disappointed that my expectation was wrong and he was clearly not cut out for this. Don’t know how to unwind myself from this mess.
I got my last 4 wedding guest dresses at Windsor.
High performing employee, never a bad review: I was forced out of my job to be replaced with yet another nepo-hire. Unemployed for the first time without a backup. Using my vintage crystal and china for silly brunch aka pop tarts and Veuve. Fuck em. They don’t get my joy today.
My body is not ready for summer.
Ready to be a stay at home wife but my inner feminist won’t let me.
Took a week off from work, no trips, no plans, just being home, doing nothing and I’m loving it.
I took a 4 day weekend and did absolutely NOTHING to “recharge” from my draining job and im still dreading going back tomorrow.
Went to a nude beach with my FWB and I think I like him but too scared to tell him and ruin things.
I found out I have the BRCA2 gene mutation. Deciding if I get my ovaries removed and start menopause before I’m 40. Also opting for a double mastectomy. I’m glad I know but damn these choices suck.
At 40 do you realise who your friends are and drop the ones that really bring nothing to your life anymore?
Reading everyone’s confessions are the best part of my Mondays.
I'm over people wanting friends but not knowing how to be a friend! I'm sick of this dating world because everyone wants to care the least. How can we love each other and exist in romantic relationships when everyone wants to not care. Earth is nuts and this can't be real!
The neighbor across the street has recently a second girlfriend. His visits with each don’t always allow a lot of time between one leaving and the other arriving. I’m nervous for all of them but also can’t stop watching.
I’m in the middle of a divorce and the only people who know is our families and our realtor and a few people I workout with but otherwise none of our friends really know and I feel so alone and overwhelmed. I grew up having to be strong for my family so am used to putting on a good front but am drowning and can’t even get into therapy right now to help me. I’m happy we’re separating and I know it’s good for us but I am feeling so many things and don’t know how to handle it at all.
I love PAWGs.
I recently moved back to my hometown where all my friends and family live with them all happy I’m permanently home. I recently decided to move away and don’t know how to tell them.
As a liberal woman I’m not supposed to say this but I hate when men paint their nails and women breast feed uncovered in public.
I was put on a PIP (performance enhancement plan) at work and I’m too embarrassed to tell my husband so I told him I think layoffs are coming.
I think about whether going to law school was a mistake on a weekly basis, and I’ve been practicing for almost 14 years.
Finalizing divorce this month and cheated on current bf by having anal for the first time with long distance soulmate situationship guy who was visiting from overseas.
I want to quit my doctorate program. I am two years in and all but dissertation status and I don’t want to do it anymore.
I have several things I want to confess in here but I am worried they are so specific that my other friends who follow you will read them and know it was me that submitted it.
Happily married, have a kid, and my mission for this summer is to hook up with as many chicks as possible (I’m a woman). My husband is cool with it. I feel like I should feel guilty or ashamed, but I just feel… happy and empowered.
My sister went up to my toxic ex last night at a bar and said “you look like the piece of shit my sister dated.”
I’m turning 38 on Tuesday. I’ve never been married, nor do I have kids, and was just ghosted by a guy I thought was into me. I know people say “embrace your single era,” but this sucks.
My husband bought tickets to go home to visit our families in December and thinking of having to spend time with his family makes me not want to go. They already started making plans/reservations without asking if we have anything else planned and if I say I want to spend time with my parents or do anything that doesn't involve them, I'm the selfish/inconsiderate one.
I have a stomach flu and I wish the first thing I thought wasn’t, “maybe this will help me lose a few pounds.”
My family and friends think I’m doing okay, but in reality I feel like a failure. I’m in my 30s and feel like I’ve wasted my chance to do what I really wanted with my life.
I regret not having more sex when I was single. I’m married with a child, I will never cheat, ever (ever!) but I regret not exploiting my youth more.
I hate my SIL. We have to visit her this week and all she does is push her kids onto us so she can get “time off” when all she does is ignore her children all day anyways. I can’t hold back the loathing on my face anymore and I’m sure she has noticed, but she is so self-absorbed that she isn’t aware enough to change.
Was meant to catch up on work this weekend but can’t be arsed! I am mentally so tired I don’t even want to open my laptop tomorrow as I don’t feel like I can function nor face managing my team, which is the current source of me being behind!
Married colleague drunk texts “tell me what I have that you want.” Apologizes immediately the next morning.
My coworker will not stop talking about her wedding, honeymoon, etc. I want to be excited for her but she talks about it ad nauseam and they’re not even engaged yet!! I can’t imagine how insufferable she will become once she finally does get engaged.
Got day drunk on Saturday and sent my married guy friend raunchy afternoon nudes. My bad.
I’m excited to be having a kid but so tired of talking about it. It’s too much and I just wish everyone would just stfu about it until the baby is born.
A friend didn’t invite me to her baby shower and I’m kinda relieved and still a little hurt.
I fell in love with a man 5k miles away, praying I’m not setting myself up for heartbreak, and I have no idea how we’ll make it work, but in my delulu, it works out someday.
I have an awesome company with great employees but just want to run away and be carefree in Italy.
I can’t shake the feeling that it’s the right move to quit my job and start freelancing full-time this summer.
One of my friends is a selfish bitch sometimes and I think it’s because she’s an only child that never learned to consider others.
Ate alone at a cafe today and felt so ashamed I feel like I have no friends at 27.
I’m an au pair and I slept with my employers dad who came to visit us. He is married.
