Hi, everyone! Last weekend, I finally did something that I never thought I'd have the courage to do: I finally ended things with my partner! I admit, I shed a few tears before doing it; but the entire process went much smoother than I could have ever anticipated. I had even scripted out a very nice ...

Heather! So nice to hear from you again! I truly appreciate you taking the time to message me here, especially since you are on leave! Thank you for your kind words. I know you've been advocating for me to take these steps... And a lot of me wishes I could've done this sooner. He'll never change and...

Awesome! Thank you so much!

I rather like my new handle name though, but I just wanted to let you know that I have an account on this present site but I w...

Hi, everyone! First off, I want to apologize if what I'm doing is considered inappropriate based on forum rules.
