Sunday Confessions: 6-16-24
"I buy organic produce at Whole Foods but key in the non-organic cheaper option at self-checkout."
Couldn’t sleep last night. It was one of those experiences when you wake up and have a fleeting thought about something work-related. Then that turns into something else. And then that turns into something else. And then you begin to get hot under the covers. And then you realize you’ll never fall asleep at this rate. And then you get out of bed and walk around for a few minutes to clear your head and cool down. And then that just wakes you up even more.
Needless to say, I’d rather be sitting in front of a computer today than rolling around in bed overthinking anything and everything.
This week’s confessions.
Got asked out over instagram dm by a guy from my yoga studio. I’m moving in 6 weeks, he knows that. He’s 38 and has a child, I’m in college. I’m so intrigued and confused that I think I’m going to go.
Got super drunk at a wedding and yelled at the grooms sister.
I’m pretty sure I saw the guy I’ve been seeing for two months scrolling hinge in bed the other night.
I sucked my thumb well into my 30s. I still do it sometimes if I am anxious and having trouble sleeping. I am 47 and married.
I think I have a sugar daddy… he’s flying me to Hawaii this week.
Holidays like this make me miss living where I grew up. I love that I moved 1700 miles away for school and love my life here but sometimes, it’s lonely and holidays where my family get together sting more than I ever expected.
Whenever a friend posts a gofundme link I always check to see if they’ve actually donated themselves. Yes, I know they could have donated anonymously. No, I never donate.
I got a job rejection call while I was right outside of my bosses office. “Alright, sounds good, thank you so much!” while nodding and smiling was painful.
I’m telling everyone that I am going to Cali, but I’m really going to Louisiana to see a guy I’ve known online for 8 years.
I don’t think my husband is a great dad. He’s ok. Not terrible by amy means. But not great either.
My best friend calls other people GP, general population, and blue collar. How does she not see how absolutely bitchy and ridiculous that is?
I’m so burnt out that I cancelled an interview so I didn’t have to wash my hair.
I want to get married with my fiancée but he’s not helping me plan anything and it’s making me sad and making me question everything.
my best friend asked me to have a threesome with her and her husband…I’m repulsed.
34, divorced, single, and I cannot relate to a single one of my friends. I’m afraid of how long this phase will last, but also don’t see it ending anytime soon.
Even though I love my job, being an “influencer” sounds really nice, especially as someone who has to go into the office 5 days a week.
I’ve hated my job for three years but too many people rely on me so the idea of letting everyone down has kept me around. People have told me to just quit but I’m not even close to getting over that hurdle despite how badly I want to.
I’ve been looking for a better job for over a year so I haven’t gotten high just in case. I miss having a little toke on Sunday mornings to make the vibes better for chores.
People who make aperol spritzes their whole personality are so insufferable. Grow up.
My birthday was Weds and my husband didn’t bother to get me a cake (or cupcake or cookie or… any kind of treat) and I’m upset. Can’t decide if I’m being brat or if he’s a dick.
I think my boyfriend is on the autism spectrum.
Going on a business trip where we need a max of 2,5 working days, my colleague and I said we needed the whole week (Mo-Fr) and we’re also staying the weekend, bc why not. So we’ll enjoy delicious Spanish food and wines for 7 days … oh and I forgot to say, we’re kind of in a situationship, yolo right?
I have a work crush. He’s 5 years younger.
Sometimes I don’t ask friends or family any questions about their life because I cannot be bothered to sit there and listen.
No one in my life realizes how much weed I smoke. They know I do it, but they don’t know that I’m pretty much just a high-functioning stoner at this point. Personally I don’t care because it’s a healthier vice for me than drinking ever was, but I do fear the social stigma around my behavior if anyone actually knew.
broke up with my gf of two years because I accepted a job states away. Could we have made long distance work? Yes. Was I ready to move on? Yes.
Last week, someone confessed that they were upset because their sister-in-law got engaged after them but is getting married before them. This mirrors my exact situation, and I can’t help but wonder if it’s about me.
I buy organic produce at Whole Foods but key in the non-organic cheaper option at self-checkout.
I used to feel like I had the fullest life out of everyone in my friend group when they started settling down and I was still out having a great time. But now that I’m the only single friend left in my group I’m lonelier than ever.
My husband is finishing a half sleeve tattoo next weekend that includes one thing for me and two things for our wedding anniversary. I told him I didn’t think it was a good idea because I’m not happy. This is not the first time I’ve brought up issues I want to address and work on in the marriage. This is the third time since January actually. He’s still going to the appointment and has not changed the designs. I feel like, at some point, he’s going to need to get coverups of those three things.
Went home with someone last night knowing I have a date with his friend on Wednesday. Hope my name doesn't come up in conversation before then.
Been at a company for almost three years, got bored and read the Glassdoor reviews. Same BS from 10 years ago that is still relevant today. Can't wait to leave even though I should've known better just from the industry gossip and former employees. They were in fact were telling the truth.
I have felt like I am drowning with carrying the mental load of keeping our family running smoothly lately, so I used chatGPT to write a letter to my husband about how I need help and an equal partner. I couldn’t even be *arsed* to write it myself because I’m so exhausted. He had no idea and has been very helpful ever since. Thanks, AI <3
I work in medicine and sometimes it’s hard to come home to no one. Especially after a rough shift.
Drunken unprotected one night stand with a really awful woman. Incredibly paranoid that I got her pregnant.
My male gay best friend is hitting up on my boyfriend, he knows he is straight so idk what he’s is expecting to happen, idk if I should confront him about this whole situation making me uncomfortable.
Every week I think seriously of doing something bad to my business partner that I despise.
My relationship with my parents is so good that I can’t fathom the people who blatantly hate Father’s Day. I know I’m lucky in this respect but it depresses me that people are faced with hating their parents that much.
I'm tired on being the friend that always makes the plans but no one else reciprocates. I think it's time to find better friends that aren't one-sided.
I’m tired of being the token black girl, I love my white and non black friends but some of them need to get to know more black people.
i related to baby reindeer; and not as the victim. i obsessively stalk a decade old ex and message him every now and then to see if he’ll bite - sometimes he does.
I think my family is uneducated, conservative and overly religious. They drive me nuts with their ignorance.
DMed a hot mutual on twitter, turns out he’s local and things got spicy. We got to talking about what we like in bed and he admitted he’s very into threesomes. I’m now invited to join him and his (male) friend. I’ve always been a monogamous gal but I’m seriously considering it.
I really feel like blowing up my own life, and the feeling is getting stronger every day.
