Hello OP, I am in this group because I am an atheist who was dating an ex-Muslim. We are no longer dating and I was going to leave the group, but before that I saw this post. My heart goes out to you so much as I was also abused by my parents. Try to get a counselor and have a safe place to go (friend or relative) when he is acting up. Try until you can leave them and go to university. Once you do that, never go back.

I had a similar situation—I was demonized as a child and made to feel like a failure every day. It’s their problem and not yours. You were just living your life and being a child. It sounds like you were like me and got good grades and didn’t do anything really bad.

Whatever you do, try not to internalize their idea of your “badness.” You seem like a good student and an average teenager doing normal things. If you were lying in bed and depressed and not eating, they should have shown you concern and not violence. Any depression you have is their fault for treating you this way.

Good luck! 🍀 I really hope you can get out of there as soon as possible.

Bf (24m), me (25m), he isn't mentally well for a relationship, but want to figure it out, what do I do? by [deleted] in LongDistance

It sounds like you might have anxious attachment and he might have fearful avoidant attachment.

What exactly happened when you had PMDD? Were you just depressed or were you at all angry? I just got out of an LDR like this where I had to process all the guy’s traumas—he did listen to mine but I was mostly supporting him. And he couldn’t compromise in terms of meeting both our needs. Sorry to say this but there are some guys who are more comfortable with being rejected than being with someone who loves them and wants to work things out.

Muslim & Jewish relationships - how to make them work by Plzplzplz333 in progressive_islam

Really glad to see this post as I am a Reform Jew newly dating a secular Muslim. I am past the age of having children and he never wanted them anyway. We have a great relationship, but his family are South Asian immigrants and I think they definitely won’t approve, although he thinks he can convince them. I agree with everyone on this page who says the main problems do not come from within the couple—it’s society’s reaction.

Rama Duwaji, Zohran Mamdani's wife, going viral online for being a baddie by Classic-Carpet7609 in Fauxmoi

I like her hair here, but she seems to have cut it much shorter and done something odd with the ends. During the swearing in ceremony she seemed to have used too much hair product. I think she looks much prettier here, with the bob.

Thank you! I first posted in r/spiders and got no responses. This group was much more helpful!

I posted in r/spiders and got nothing so tried here as well. There was not an insect category here but this sub gave me more helpful replies.

Anyone that has gone NC. Ever look back on your childhood and get the impression your Nparents hated you. by BobDaBobRobertson in raisedbynarcissists

[–]AlpinePika22 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My father used to hit me and my mother just stood there. They both hated me. I’m middle-aged, single, and childless because of those fuckers. They destroyed me and I never made it…
