I don't understand how I'm supposed to comfort my partner now that his other relationship ended. I think he resents me for not being, caring, I guess. I care that he's upset, but I say the wrong things, like how the guy is a weird asshole and he can do better. It's fucked up to be telling my...

It's a cute thought but correlation doesn't imply causation, to finally get to use that cliche this week. Maybe the chemicals in latex condoms and artificial lubes cause depression? I don't know if I buy a couple teaspoons being that uplifting.

Yeah. As I write it out I realize most things have been liquor influenced, not just between me and them. As far as being on my own, no I haven't really. Not successfully. This is the answer I was expecting though. I'm not going to try to write it off because it's glaring. You're probably...

Hi I'm Chicken, I was writing something much longer and more detailed but for now I'll just say hello. I'm in an 'open relationship' with my boyfriend but I think it's run its course. And for a while I've entertained but never seriously considered the thought of being a permanent third wheel...
