I have a love-hate relationship with DU.

Confession: The only in-law that I had a great relationship with passed away unexpectedly. The two remaining in-laws were on thin ice with me prior due to years of drama, nagging, and disgusting display of wealth. I believe their demand of money and general assholish behavior drove in law to his death. I love my S.O. but I can’t deal with the drama anymore.

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.

Why is it anytime you hear a term like “3rd wave feminism” bandied about negatively like the Critical Race Theory boogeyman it’s from some bro incel who thinks society changed for the worst because people tweeted something they disagree with? Feels like the white patriarchy is going to burn everything down before relenting.
