Fuck work.

I am so angry.

3 fucking years of working hard for this company. I crashed my car this weekend, sent a PHOTO and got the following response from my director:

“Thanks for update, I must say I am somewhat surprised you found the car undriveable this morning but not all the way back from the Peak District? Let’s discuss tomorrow.”

I sent photo evidence of my car literally crashed and I hope he understands it’s more inconvenient to me than him.. it’s costing me thousands. FOR CONTEXT, my car is completely fucked.

Fuck work and fuck them all.

Genuinely so sick of this life.

30F may be having an existential crisis after a long period of burnout but I think I need to see it through and make some big life changes.

It has always been advised to climb the corporate ladder and get to the top, but I have realised that is the opposite of what I want from life. I have been working in corporate for 13 years now and it has absolutely drained the life out of me.

I want out of the rat race, I want a slower life, I want less stress, less working 50+ hours a week only to find the cost of living doesn’t even make it worth it. I genuinely want to escape to the mountains and do something completely different, but I have absolutely no idea where to start.

I genuinely have no interest in climbing the ladder, I just want my life to be stress free. I am so sick of being shouted at on a daily basis, having no free time and crying in my car everyday. I don’t care about money, I would be so happy earning enough to live on and growing my own food, I don’t care for material items anymore.

I used to want to be extremely successful and I have overachieved for a long time, but I can wholeheartedly say it was not worth it. I am ready for something completely different that doesn’t destroy my soul everyday.

How do you escape this life?

31F I am sexually adventurous and I enjoy a lot of things, but one thing I will not do is doggy due to a traumatic experience in the past.

The guy I’m seeing 35m knows this and I have reminded him several times. Initially he was supportive and understanding when I opened up and physically told him the reason (which is not a light hearted topic and took a lot for me to tell him). Also, he told me he would never pressure me into it.

For the past month he has been pressuring me into doing it and telling me I will enjoy it. This isn’t actually the first thing either, there have been a few sexual things he has said/done that I have felt uncomfortable with and it has become more frequent. I have had to tell him to shut the fuck up about sex several times because it is so constant it’s exhausting and makes me feel like an object sometimes.

Anyway I digress. The main part is that I have explicitly told him I do not want to do something and he seems to not care anymore and has continued to push me into it. I genuinely don’t feel like he actually cares about me at all and only my body - or he cares about his needs more than my comfort.

Is this grounds to end it?

29F seeing someone 35M who was very kind, caring and attentive which is the reason I ended up falling for him. It has only been for the past week or so, but he constantly wants to talk about sex, speak about sex and see me for it. I am a sexual person but it is getting to a point where it’s making me feel like that is the only reason he is seeing me now. We still go for dinner and on dates, but the rest of the time it is ALL sexual.

I keep trying to change the subject and suggest doing wholesome things and he just makes sexual comments. I have mentioned it and he said he just finds me so hot and is obsessed with my body, which doesn’t help me. When I say he is sexual, I mean he wants to sext whenever we message, speak on the phone or see each other.

Is he just seeing me because of my body/looks and not for me as a person? It’s pissing me off because I have always been lusted after my whole life but never loved.
