When people talk about Anne Boleyn and Jane Seymour, people call them skanks and home wreckers and an array of other things. The point I always try to point out, is people need to take a step back and not think in the mindset of a woman in the 21st century…. In the 21st century a woman can say no to a relationship or a man’s advances and carry on. But in the ripe age of the 16th century…. Are you really going to deny the king who has the power to not only get rid of you and your family in any means fit, but definitely has the power to ruin yours and your families lives? So no, I do not blame Anne or Jane for accepting the kings advances. Do I agree with it? In current times hell no, but that’s not what we’re talking about. All of Henry’s wives were victims of his abuse and narcissistic tendencies. I’m not asking for hate or arguments. This is simply my perspective. I loved all of his wives for different reasons, and my heart breaks for all of them for different reasons.

I 25f ghosted a friend of mine 45m who I’ve known since I was 13yrs old. I might be the AH here but please hear me out. When I was 13, I met someone on a group page for alternative teenagers (I forget the name) and was looking to make friends. This person didn’t have a profile picture or age but was very nice. I want to add nothing sexual ever happened in the years I’ve known this person. I never met this person in person they live across my country. I’ve been having a tough time the last couple years and this person would constantly make me feel worse for going through my mental health struggles. They have never had a job and seemingly have a lot of opinions on what people should do when it comes to their job, where they work, how they work, etc. One day I had enough of it and just stopped talking to them. I had some major life changes good and bad and ofc this person had a lot to say (all negative) so I just stopped talking to them. I also had a revelation, the friendship at face value is kind of weird. If I met this person now as an adult and befriended them, different story. For example if I found out my teenage step daughter was talking to someone 20+ years older than them, I’d be a little weirded out. Thanks for coming to my ted talk.
