Why does everyone love Bree?? I think she’s a bad mother, wife, friend, and person. Can someone explain? Not hating on anyone just genuinely wondering

[20 f](21m) (28m) I have a bf but I might like my coworker

Hi everyone. I’m in a dilemma. I’ve been in a two year relationship with this incredible guy let’s call him Sam. Sam and I have been going through a rough patch the last two months or so. He’s been depressed and busy and we weren’t really talking or seeing each other for a month. I was an asshole and was getting kinda flirty with guys to make Sam jealous. I ended up confessing about it because I felt so guilty. We were on and off for a few weeks after that. A month later (now) we are back together but still not talking much and havent really talked too much or hung out. Anyway I have this coworker, let’s call him Josh. Josh is very similar to Sam but he’s a few years older than Sam and I. I only work with him around once or twice a week. Whenever we work together I get super nervous when he’s around and get excited. We’ve been talking a decent amount and have spent hours after our last shift talking to each other. He picks on me and I say he’s mean for it, just playful banter. But I can’t tell if I am forming real feelings for him or if I’m just

1. Intrigued because he’s new
2. My current relationship is kind of weird right now and I want more from it. And I like talking to Josh
3. Really am starting to like him. I can’t see myself ever dating him or anything but I like talking to him and spending time with him

I don’t know if this makes me a horrible person or what. I love Sam. He’s perfect and amazing and I feel bad he’s going though all this shit right now and I’m trying to be supportive but I have my own stuff going on. It’s been around two months and I think I’m just clocking out at this point. Please let me know if you have any advice. Thank you

Hi everyone. Just as a heads up my current partner is trans and I’m a huge advocate and supporter of the trans community. This post is my venting about the fact that I recently learned that my rapist (who raped me for a year) is now trans. I don’t want my anger with this person to be mistaken with anger for the trans community since that isn’t true whatsoever.

Okay so about 7 years ago I was in a relationship with (at the time a man, Owen). Owen had abused, manipulated, and honestly just ruined my life. My parents were in a DV relationship so I didn’t really grasp the understanding in how awful Owen had treated me and what he was doing. I was in 6th grade at the time so I was also young and dumb. He would pressure me to have sex with him, manipulate me into it after I said no, and would force me to for almost a year straight. I finally had the courage to leave with support of some of my friends. Others didn’t believe me because I hadn’t told my parents. They didn’t think that someone who was being raped would keep it a secret from their family and assumed I was making it all up. I wasn’t. I cut Owen and his friends out of my life after that.
He then would show up at my school (which he didn’t go to) and harass me there, go to my schools homecoming/prom and corner me with his friends to laugh at me when I got a panic attack from being in the same room as him. He would caption on instagram “had fun messing with…(me)”. He thought it was so funny because I still hadn’t told most people yet.
I ended up talking to my mom about it around 4/5 years ago. It was horrifying but she comforted me and helped me heal from it.
Flash forward to about a month ago. I was looking on instagram and for whatever reason I had a gut feeling that Owen was going to be back in our hometown since college was ending soon. So I unblocked him and looked at his instagram.
Owen is now trans mtf and goes by Vivian. (The name we were going to name our daughter that I know she remembers). She does a lot of sneaky shit to mess with me. When I tried to tell people about the abuse Vivian would say (since she was a boy at the time) that she couldn’t have raped me since she’s suddenly gay now so why would a gay guy force a woman to sleep with him? I am a huge supporter of the trans community but I feel like this is another thing to mess with me. Not the whole identity thing but the name and if I try to be more vocal about what they put me through I’m scared they’re going to say I’m being transphobic. I would never want to make the trans community look bad but I also want people to know about what this rapist has done. I don’t know what to do. Thank you for listening to my rant
