I usually ghost a guy if he talks about sex before we’ve even met or on the first date. I block. If they have my number they inevitably text and say: “did I do something? It was going so well”. I never reply because if I have to explain, they’re not worth any more of my time.

This made me laugh so loud I woke my sleeping teens. Talk about monsters.

The challenge: Seemingly "safe, normal" men can become "monsters" the minute you state you no longer wish to see them. Safer to just say that you no longer wish to see them, and then block. Don't give them the opportunity to terrorize you.

No, you may not come over on date 2 and "have [me] cook [you] dinner."

I love how you list things that I only understand now in the aftermath of being in a relationship with a monster, and (as always) you describe the dynamics so well.

I thought it was impolite to be a ghost. I'm over that now.

Another big one was not consulting the coven, and in hindsight (thanks therapy) actually misleading the coven by hiding the monster's true colours, thinking I was protecting the sanctity of the relationship.

I haven't dated - nor want to, although the idea of blocking and burning really does appearl - since that relationship. However, I have told my coven next time they will be the first people I consult.

Everything you're saying resonates so hard with me. I'm glad you're here whether you ever decide to date or not ❤️

So are you going to teach us how to turn exes into frogs? 🐸 That would be so awesome! I would love the magic formula. 🧙‍♀️

Witches live in covens surrounded by their girlfriends, and they do not spend time with loser-boys; they prioritize their female friendships and their work and families, so they are never inclined to “settle” for unworthy men.

This- I am a spicy nerodivergent and a Tom Boy growing up. Boys where more open and welcome when I was a child... of course that didn't translate when puberty showed up. In the last 11 years I have come to love,.appreciate and value my coven of women on every level and will continue to lean on them as my primary support network! I am so lucky to have 2 daughters and a mother who taught us to be witch's!

I love this so much - and I want to know if I can still be a witch even though I have a dog instead of a cat!?
