If you’re here, chances are your heart has been through something. Maybe you’re trying to rebuild after distance, betrayal, or a season that almost broke you. Maybe you’re asking hard questions about your relationship — or about yourself. Or maybe you’re just tired of pretending you’re okay when you’re not. You’re not alone here. Love & Life Lounge was created as a space to be honest, reflective, and supported — without judgment, labels, or pressure to have it all figured out. This is a grown-folk space for real conversations about love, trust, communication, and second chances. I built this community because I’ve lived this chapter myself. I know the pain, the confusion, and the quiet hope that things can get better. Healing doesn’t come from perfection — it comes from honesty, clarity, and support. Here’s how to use this space: - Share what’s on your heart (at your own pace) - Ask questions — there are no “dumb” ones here - Engage with compassion and respect - Take what resonates and leave the rest To get started, introduce yourself below: - Where are you in your relationship journey right now? - What made you join the Lounge? - What would support look like for you in this season? No masks. No fixing. Just room to grow. I’m really glad you’re here. — Ty

1. Respect First Treat everyone with kindness, empathy, and maturity. This is a place for real conversations, not judgment. 2. Confidentiality Matters What’s shared here stays here. No screenshots, no retelling private stories outside the group. 3. No Advice-Shaming We offer support, not criticism. Share your perspective without belittling someone else’s experience. 4. Speak From Your Experience Use “I” statements. Share what you’ve lived or learned, not what you think someone “should” do. 5. No Promotions or Self-Marketing This space is for healing, growth, and connection. Keep the feed free of pitches. 6. Healthy Boundaries Only No harassment, rude behavior, or repeated pressure toward any member. Moderators may remove posts or members if needed. 7. Ask Questions Freely Nothing is too small or too personal. Engage with curiosity and openness. 8. Participate at Your Own Pace Lurking is allowed. Sharing is encouraged. Growth happens in your own timing. 9. Honor Diversity of Experiences Members come from different backgrounds, cultures, relationships, and beliefs. All are welcome. 10. We Hold Each Other Up This is a supportive space. If you’re struggling, say so. If you can offer encouragement, do it.
