I recently went through a bad break up with my ex. We lived together for over a year, even talked about marriage - and then he cheated on me. Now every decision i make or question I ask them they’re always telling me “don’t be rash, you’re only doing this bc of the break up.”

It’s getting really frustrating. I’m an adult, yes I will make mistakes, but they’re my choices and I don’t need criticism on everything I do - I don’t need to be babied. I’m a strong girl, I’ve made it through worse in my life. If I wanna go out with a new guy, dye my hair, whatever - that’s my choice.

I appreciate my friends trying to look out for me but telling me not to do things, or what to do, isn’t helping. I know I need to heal, but I can do that in my own way.

I need my friends support now more than ever, and I feel like I have no one to turn to because I don’t want to be judged and ridiculed.
