Sunday Confessions: 5-26-24

"Sometimes I really believe we are in the matrix."

Long weekends. A time to recharge the batteries. A time to get things done around the place. A time to spend an afternoon doing absolutely nothing because you actually have time to do, well, absolutely nothing.

Or it’s a time to power-drink spritzes. To sit in the sun without reapplying sunscreen while you build your summer base. A time to feel completely devastated come Monday because you’re not built to drink Thursday through Monday anymore.

And this week’s confessions reflected all of the above.

I had sex with a guy I swore I never would again. He does not care about me and he’s the worst, but can’t help myself, I fall everytime for his charm. He’s moving soon and I’m devastated, even though we are not even a thing and I barely know him, that I might never see him again.

I’m starting to think that my partner and I should go separate ways, but I’m afraid to face the reality of that.

Moved to another city almost 5 years ago after my bf whom became ex-bf in a year. Now I’m doing mostly fine career here, but hate everything about the new city and my work. Can’t comeback, missing my elder parents and afraid to lose them when I’m not around.

My best friend just got engaged. It’s now the only thing that is talked about. I legit just want to say STFU I don’t care about your wedding.

Sometimes I really believe we are in the matrix.

Gave my instagram to a waiter at a restaurant because we had a pleasant chat and he seemed nice in a friend-type-of-way. Thought the vibe was mutual. Woke up to him dming me in the middle of the night asking me out and liking all my selfies. Vibe ruined. He keeps liking anything and everything I post that has my face in it. How soon is too soon to unfollow and remove him from my followers?

I like to masturbate to my husband’s best friend and who is also my best friend’s ex.

Graduated 1 year ago from an out of state school and now work permanently in a different state. Visiting home for the long weekend and never felt like I’ve missed home more.

I’m still waiting for my ex to tell me he made a mistake and he wants to come back.

my boyfriend had to pee really badly at boston calling but we were stuck in a massive crowd waiting for the killers to perform. he peed on the ground where we were standing and no one NOTICED

I went to a job interview during my lunch break at work, is the fine or like am I cheating on my job.

I just feel like leaving my husband at home, cutting off communication and living on a beach for two weeks. No human contact. Nothing.

i’ve been dating a 40 year old (i’m 19) for the last month and didn’t finally cut him off until i got my period.

I don't trim the wicks on my scented candles.

Editor’s Note: Why????????? Just do it.

My job has been toxic as hell, but it has its perks (enough to stay through the summer). Was laid off right before the long weekend, and I’m a little relieved I don’t have to deal with the political corporate bullshit anymore.

On Thursday I told too many people “I’ll definitely get that in on Friday before the long weekend.” Friday morning I was in the car headed to Palm Springs without a laptop in sight.

thriving post long work travel week with colleagues who don’t seem to be as happy and content with their lives as me

Accidentally sent a nude meant for my husband to my in-law family group chat instead.

I have to ask my boyfriend for sex and it’s making me crazy.

Sunday Confessions are the highlight of my week because it makes me feel better about my life.

Picking out window treatments for my new place almost broke me mentally.

Sprained my ankle jumping off a stage at a techno rave after collecting multiple men and numbers with a pack of girlfriends. Had to pretend i tripped while hiking to coworkers at very serious job where im apparently supposed to make very big decisions. Face was still sparkly.

My therapist told me to try dating apps again and I’m just dreading it ://

Met a foreigner at an after party, he’s 10 years younger than me, I spent the entire Sunday night drinking with him. I’m seeing someone else!!

All my coworkers are starting to look for new jobs and i could not be happier to see them go.

I applied for a job to be my current boss’ boss…and still haven’t mentioned it.

I feel like I made a mistake leaving my wife.

I live in daily constant fear that my wife is going to want to move to Florida to be closer to family.

If I see one more pregnancy announcement from someone I went to high school/college with TODAY, I’m going to scream.

caught my dad cheating (i’m an adult). idk if i’ll ever forgive him.

Long weekends just make me want to quit my job even more.

I can’t shake the feeling my husband is hiding something major from me but so far I haven’t been able to find anything (yes, I’ve talked to him about it).

Been in an amazing relationship for 6 months. Introduced him to my parents yesterday, today he tells me he cheated on me with a friend of his. Feel like a clown.

I don't want to work all summer. I plan to do the bare minimum to get by.

A guy I’ve kept in touch with since we were in a wedding tried to get me to sleep with him a year into his current relationship. He’s proposing to her next month and I really want to tell her.

I fear that I am going cause a rift in my fiancé’s family by trying to remain too neutral with everyone. They will tell me things and seemed shocked to find out I communicate it back to him.

I’m in love with someone I’ve never met on Instagram.

Made out with two navy guys during fleet week. Best week of my life. Not ready to go back to work.

Moving to the suburbs (gorgeous brand new home) in three weeks and I’m terrified I won’t like it after 6 years in a luxury neighborhood. I am not a 1 percenter, but I like to pretend.

Faked a family member's death to get bereavement time and escape the hellscape of work.

I can’t stop thinking about my (married) friend and how amazing life and the sex would be in this alternate reality.

Made out with my VERY newly separated boss. I feel awful because I don’t regret it.
