Hey guys, I’ve seen a lot of comments under a post I made accusing me of using AI for my responses and that I talk too much 😭

I promise you I’m not using ChatGPT. I just type a lot and tend to re use certain words. I’m a law student in my third year, so naturally I write in a more detailed way and yap instead of using simple wording when talking about situations. I’m happy not to even reply. I just thought it would be a great discussion because everyone tends to have the same opinions.

Also, I’m sorry that I want to contribute my opinion? It’s literally a Reddit thread, that’s what everyone here does. Even though it’s a Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Reddit page, if you can’t handle criticism about your favourite person, then maybe this just isn’t the place for you.

Mother’s Day is literally wrapping up in Utah and Taylor has spent practically the entire day online spiralling, reposting shady shit and fuelling hate instead of just privately being present with her kids. At this point I genuinely would not be shocked if Mikayla eventually posts something like “sorry I was busy spending Mother’s Day with my children” after being dragged all day for setting boundaries and getting her trauma weaponised against her online.

And the sad part is if Mikayla does defend herself again or call out how disgusting some of these comments have become, she’ll probably just get bullied all over again by Taylor’s fans bringing up her CSA and childhood trauma while Taylor continues liking comments, reposting things and enabling the dogpiling instead of shutting it down like a mature adult should.

Honestly, tonight honestly just proved why The Bachelorette should not happen right now. Watching Taylor repost shady things, make indirect comments and publicly go after Mikayla simply for calmly explaining her perspective and boundaries came across as mean girl behaviour more than anything else.

And what frustrates me is that it now feels like she can publicly fuel hate toward Mikayla, potentially get her bullied online by fans, and still be rewarded with a huge platform and more attention straight afterwards. That’s the part that feels wrong to me.

And don’t get me wrong, Dakota has absolutely been toxic too and I’m not defending him whatsoever, but this entire situation has also given people an insight into how unhealthy the dynamics behind closed doors probably are. Especially now that multiple friends are openly saying these cycles, emotional spiralling and exhausting behaviour have been ongoing for a long time.

What’s frustrating is that instead of stepping away from the internet, focusing on therapy, accountability, emotional regulation and her children privately, it feels like the chaos keeps getting rewarded. Giving her The Bachelorette right now would honestly just reinforce the idea that even when your own friends are saying they’re emotionally exhausted by your behaviour, and even when your actions negatively impact the people around you, you’ll still get exactly what you want in the end anyway.

I genuinely do believe Taylor loves her children, but love alone does not cancel out instability, conflict and repeated unhealthy patterns. At some point accountability has to matter more than protecting someone’s image or continuing to reward the chaos with bigger platforms.

Hi everyone, I’m a first year BA student and I just got my first round of assessment results back. I received 90% in one subject, 81% in another, and 70% in my third. I know logically that these aren’t bad marks, but I can’t help feeling really disappointed about the 70% because in my head it feels like a failure.

I think part of it is that I’m still adjusting to university marking and expectations, and I’m not really sure what counts as a “good” result yet. I also feel a bit of pressure to do well early on, especially because I intend to transfer to University of Sydney in second year and want to keep my options open with a strong WAM.

For students in second year or above, I’d really appreciate some perspective. Are these marks actually considered strong for first year? Is a 70% something to be worried about long term, especially if I want to transfer, or is it completely normal and I’m just overthinking it?

Any advice or reassurance would honestly mean a lot right now.
