@drbollocks I'm proud of you. You didn't deserve that.
Now treat yourself and remember this feeling whenever the doubts start creeping in.

@drbollocks Here's something that sometimes helps me: Ask yourself, if someone else was in your situation, what would you tell them.
Because honestly, from what you're writing, you don't have much of a relationship to lose, and you seem to be clinging onto something that isn't there, if it ever was.
It's okay to break up with people for any reason or no reason at all, if only for your own peace of mind. Don't stay with someone out of fear.
I should mention there's another one in Maine ( https://www.google.com/maps/place/Dyke+Mountain/@43.8961194,-70.8336873,67926m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0x4cb2f75ace4b6901:0x3ddfc1b28e7389d1!8m2!3d43.8722966!4d-70.6581146!16s%2Fg%2F1tyywqdn?entry=ttu&g%5C_ep=EgoyMDI1MDMxOS4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D ) and - in case everything goes south - in Antarctica ( https://www.google.com/maps/place/Mount+Dyke/@-67.2355094,43.1115729,953541m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m6!3m5!1s0xb16c78afc0fc3473:0x115c45da78595360!8m2!3d-67.583333!4d49.4166669!16s%2Fm%2F0ds9j9g?entry=ttu&g%5C_ep=EgoyMDI1MDMxOS4xIKXMDSoASAFQAw%3D%3D )
@bazzzzzzz It's an illustration of everything Christian extremists in the late 90's / early 2000's were afraid of: Tattoos, gangs in school, facial piercings, short hair on girls, short sleeves on girls, teenage sex, drugs and evolution ("my ancestor").
@drbollocks That's just how the brain works sometimes. I get horny for an ex on occasion, and then I remember why she's an ex.
@writingprompts Much better scan and more background here: https://bsky.app/profile/booleanunion.bsky.social/post/3lcj2ef2tbs2b
@writingprompts Okay, so I did a semi-deep dive into this, and it seems like this is not a Chick Tract (different art style anyway), but from something called the "Truth for Youth Bible", however not the current one (which can be found here: https://revivalfires.org/ and is - compared to this - incredibly boring) but likely the third edition with entirely different illustrations. (see: https://x.com/abtnatural/status/1222721453373755394?lang=ar )
I am still trying to find a good scan of the whole thing. So far no luck, though.
@otter Possibly the opposite of a lake boat, so I'm imagining a lake in a boat.
