Sunday Confessions: 7-14-24

"I would rather douse myself in molasses and be eaten by ants than text him first."

After a week of attempting to do absolutely nothing online in an attempt to unplug, I find myself sitting in bed at 6:07 a.m. going through confessions that are giving me the Sunday Scaries that I should’ve had last night.

Truth be told, I intended to post last week’s confessions despite being out of town. But sometimes when you’re on vacation, those vacation-y things start to feel far better than anything you planned to do prior. While I received a record number of them last week, we may all look back on that time as “The Lost Confessions.”

Either way, it’s good to be back. Here’s this week’s (unedited) confessions.

---

I can’t sleep most night because of the guilt over what I did.

sometimes i wish i could just break up with my fiancé, take my dog and get my own place and live happily ever after.

I shat my pants on a first date.

i have a friend that makes me feel guilty for having a life and it makes me so mad. she and her husband alienate themselves with their jobs and then complain about having no friends.

Started a new job in June and have a huge crush on a coworker..we’ve gotten drinks after works just us multiple times.

I just got a promotion. I’m getting married next month. I’m living my dream life and should be ecstatic, but my mental health has been terrible and it’s hard not to cave into the urge to just lay in bed and cry my eyes out.

I’m a Christian and teach in that context. I don’t want to be a Christian anymore and feel completely stuck.

I don't want to go back here in the big city where I work. I want a new normal job that lets me sleep at night like a real person.

my roommate is a slob and i am counting down the days until our next lease ends.

My car was blocking my MIL’s in the driveway so I gave her the keys to move it herself while I wrangled the kids. This woman adjusted every seat position possibility for a 2 second drive… She’s either a completely aloof narcissist or the highest form of pettiness. If it’s the latter, I have to admit, I’m impressed.

Accidentally took Molly and forgot that I love Molly. Also, Im 46.

I would rather douse myself in molasses and be eaten by ants than text him first.

Husband has been out of town since Friday morning, and I’ve really enjoyed the alone time.

Husband told me over the weekend a girl from his team moved an hour away from their office and he didn't even know. The comment itself was strange, but after that he's been acting weird, not being able to sleep, getting up very early to check his phone, moody... I think deep down I know what's happening and honestly, I couldn't care less.

I’m no longer a virgin and my religious family doesn’t know this. I intend to keep it that way.

I am moving to a different country at the end of August and no one from work knows yet.

He totally used me and I didn’t realize until it was too late.

the new guy at work SUCKS and my desk is right next to his and he thinks we’re friends and i just don’t understand how he got that impression. i tolerate him and i feel like that’s pretty obvious but i guess it isn’t.

I hate being a homeowner and I wouldn't be upset if it caught fire.

I’m just feeling so much damn anxiety. I drank too much last night and I hate that feeling. I’m so worried for the state of our country right now. Work seems is so stressful. Balancing work and home life feels impossible. Relationships feel hard to maintain. I’m exhausted all the time even though I feel like I’m not doing enough or accomplishing the things I want to accomplish. It all feels so overwhelming.

Flirted with a coworker in front of my dad at a work function (we all work together… dad is boss).

I feel like I made a mistake taking my new job.

I missed last week’s confessions and had a truly shit week as a result.

Got my wisdom teeth taken out Friday, I have no pain at all but thinking to act like I am just so I can stay home from work tomorrow.

I pee in my own pool every time I go in.

I actively try and avoid any gathering with my in-laws. All they do is talk trash about literally everyone and anything someone does or owns. Mother in law went to a gathering and took pictures of someone’s home just to tell us all how “disgusting” it was.

A big part of me really wants to move to a new state and completely start over. I’ve lived in the same state for a decade, I’ve built a life here. But I feel like I’m outgrowing everything and just want something new. I would even be open to a new country.

i have shingles on my butthole

my boyfriend cheated on me on boys' trip to ibiza. honestly it just gave me the out i had been looking for to break up with him and not be the villain in the scenario.

I’m at the point of firing someone and I’m dreading it, but they’ve been given so many chances. They don’t do their work unless someone is standing over their shoulder monitoring them. I want the relief of not babysitting them anymore.

I love my life right now. I feel guilty to say it.

Dated on an off for three months until they ended things because they didn’t have time for a gf. I offered FWB and now I see them every two days like clockwork. Now I get laid regularly AND don’t have to worry about someone else. I love being in my 20s.

My boss just gave me a promotion and a pay raise. I didn’t tell her I’m planning on leaving in October (because I can’t stand her and even with the raise, I’m underpaid).

Spent a lot of time and money fixing my teeth. And now I kind of miss my old teeth.

I'm hooking up again with a girl I work with. The last time we slept together was 2 years ago and we always kept it 100% professional after that night. We've been working on a project together at work so we've spent more time together that we normally would. Something changed the last few weeks and we ended up in bed again and are starting to see each other outside of work more. It's the happiest I've been in a long time.

Flying to London to see my now long distance partner. Nobody knows that I’m going.

i was at a birthday this weekend where literally everyone but me was married. no exaggeration. i have never felt more out of place. and everyone was my age too… bloody hell.

Temporary thrill is not better than lifetime guilt.

Already having Sunday Scaries about coming back from vacation that hasn’t started yet. Normal or need a new job?

I desperately want to go back to my old office. I was burnt out af but after a year of being somewhere I thought I’d be so much happier, I would gladly go back in a second.

Got dumped, my mom flew in to the rescue and to visit me. I went out with friends to get my mind off everything and I got so drunk I fell in front of my mom when she picked us up and had blood running down my legs. I’m 35.
