I tried to break up with my SO and instead they talked their way out of it for an hour and we're now on a "break" that involves the same amount of contact as before so not really sure what i accomplished

SO sounds like SO is an A+ negotiator. Came into the meeting with goals and left with an agreement that conceded a token win to the opposing side and then got everything they wanted out of it.


Damn. DM me if they are looking for a legal job. I’m slammed.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly.

I want to have a family and a future that is drama-free and full of love and don’t want to surround myself with negativity.
