Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.
The rules are simple:
- The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
- The comic must be a complete story.
- If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
- You may post comics from others or your own.
- If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
- The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
- Politeness.
- Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Sometimes you're the only adult in a relationship. And it sucks.
And sometimes people are held back by traumatic experiences that meld into deeply held beliefs.
I'm the kind of person OP is talking about. I know it's hard for the folks around me that I love dearly. I try to change it, find ways to reassure myself constantly, etc... It's an incredibly frustrating, lifelong battle.
Tbh neither of us were being the adult lol. We both had a hand in keeping that relationship a FWB relationship.
But hey, live and learn. We're both still friends and talk most days of the week, so I'd say the whole thing was a net positive.
Elaborate? I might be in the same boat
