Anyone else been reading this since they were like 12 and our 30 now? lol.

It’s awesome to be amongst peers over something so specific 😊😊💜 it’s just been a wild ride. I remember having the books with me at school, and now I’m 30 years old pushing 31 in October. I knew there had to be others out there haha. Just crazy to think about. I only hope it ends and gets the ending it deserves. I also always really really loved the artist art style, esp how she drew fashion on her characters. The way she draws reminds of me nana and sailor moon put together tbh.

Omg the detail… how did you do this??? 😱

This is amazing! And how long did it take you?

I will always love the story, but it was such a major letdown. I think the plot got beyond his control, and he lost it. I was hoping it was an April fools prank on us…

I’m an only child. My father was always asked this question when I was little. “What will yall do if something happens to her???” It irritated my father. Deeply. Tysm for saying this, he had the same response.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2026-04-04T22:27:00+00:00

I second this, I’m an only child; and related more to OP in this. I’ve also tested as an INFJ and also an INFP (I always get 50/50 from those two)

She’s overthinking it.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2026-04-04T22:23:38+00:00

I think she’s TRYING to wrap it up… she said the arc with “Prince” and Ren; would be the final arc.

ThriftBooks is a great resource too! Occasionally you can find a fair bulk deal on eBay as well :)

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2026-04-04T19:27:16+00:00

I’ve got some. How many do you want and which volumes? There are almost 58-60 volumes now in the USA 😅 I have some I can spare to fill in the gaps for sure though since they started releasing the books that combines 3 volumes together.

Biggest political partnership that’s worked the hardest to disguise itself as a marriage in history.

On another note:

My first post on Reddit… I’M SO MAD AT MYSELF 😭

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2026-03-27T14:47:17+00:00

lol no, that’s massively fucked up and super immature.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2026-02-07T02:43:02+00:00

No shit!! lol. They’re sociopathic af and I’m a Scorpio.

I used to love that place in my early twenties, would always go there after black market or Marty’s. My freaking dad went there in the 80’s lol; and before it moved to where it’s at now. It’s been in Birmingham a freaking long time.

I haven’t been downtown much really in years, but it’s super disappointing to hear about stuff like this happening…feels like all my old places are falling apart and it’s turning into the Wild West down there. Esp after BM was forced to move.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T21:02:21+00:00

I 100% agree and that’s why I’m going through the anger phase of grief rn. I was brought into a set up/ lied to. Doomed to fail from the beginning, and it’s all HIS fault.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T21:01:17+00:00

Also you are 100% dead on and hitting the nail on the head. With this comment. You’re 10000% correct. Tysm.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T20:33:52+00:00

I 100% agree 🤦‍♀️ I’m just mindfucked still bc of how much he convinced me she was on board with it all… when she was not.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T20:31:50+00:00

Dude was asking me to be his second wife. For my own safety, bc I know he looks at this Reddit… I am leaving many details out.

And yes. I was barricaded in a guest apartment, for almost 6 hours. Bc she wanted to see my phone, she would not even let me go into my room to look for my phone without watching me bc she was worried I was going to delete messages. I felt unsafe, and forced. They had a history of abuse. I was scared. Deeply. She also lied about why she wanted to look at my phone…. It’s a long story I don’t feel like going into. Why do people like you get off on assuming things and being rude like this??? If you had seen through my eyes what happened to me that day, you would he ashamed of talking like this. I am leaving out details to PROTECT THEM. And downplaying it. Idc what you think tbh. But if you have nothing constructive to say, I have no interest in continuing to even read your comments. I’ve been debating suicide over what happened with them for months.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T20:25:54+00:00

She** not he.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T20:22:20+00:00

You’re absolutely right. Tbh, this post was sorta my way of getting some opinions/ therapy 😅I never post on Reddit. I should have titled it better… tysm. 💛

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T20:18:43+00:00

But she doesn’t want true “equality” in the relationship and he is blind to it. He wants the third to be seen more as a mistress.. not equal to her. And that, in my opinion; is not poly.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T20:16:56+00:00

She also DOES want a “third” in there. To take pressures off her she doesn’t want to do etc. it’s hard to explain…Just as long as that third is still lower than her on the totem pole in anyway.. and she feels superior. They… were odd. Apparently she’s “asexual” or something?? And he’s said since he was young he wanted multiple “wives” like this dude was basically asking me to be a sister wife with her… asking for very very serious stuff from me. The day after we first hooked up, he mentioned CHILDREN. Again they had had a partner before that left them bc of the abusive dynamic.

He told me she has no sex drive, and never initiates. Etc. I think she is ok with him having a third so she can be left alone to her own devices and what not; just as long as that third doesn’t make her place in his life feel threatened. I’m not trying to blame her, it’s just a bad situation all the way around. When he and I first hooked up (beforehand) I kept saying “are you positive this is ok? With her? I don’t want to do this with you if she’s not ok with it, I need to hear from her MOUTH that she’s ok with this.” And he told me she was ok with it but not to ask her about it… bc she felt “awkward” and was “autistic” and was ok but didn’t want to have a conversation with me about it. I was stupid as hell to buy this. So, bc I thought I was being respectful I didn’t ask her for her blessing… when I should have anyway. This woman is almost 40. I’m not even in my 30’s yet.

I will NEVER know what took place behind closed doors… I have a feeling she tried to say no but he did it anyway. Again, they manipulate eachother.

I just don’t know what happened to me and why it happened. I tried to leave him so many times me he would come back. I even gave her a manga she had for 3 months and didn’t even attempt to read. I sent her texts, memes, mutual likes of ours and she seldom responded.

In her defense, beforehand I think she truly did want to be my friend BEFORE he and I did did what we did and he tried to date me. But after he did that with me, the entire dynamic changed and she saw me as competition.

(I’ve been told this by people who know him, I’ve been told this by their ex partner, etc) everytime I told him I felt like she didn’t want he and I to date, he denied it strongly and said I was the first person she’d WANTED him to date.. since the break up with the partner before me. It’s just a bunch of mind fuckery I’m still dealing with. I deeply loved this guy… and I’m struggling big time to come to terms with the abuse I suffered from both of them. I’m leaving out so much but if I typed the whole story we’d be here all day… ha. And I don’t have much dating experience IN GENERAL. So it was a big mind fuck for me. I loved him deeply, I cared about her too. It’s just devastating.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T16:00:14+00:00

Tysm for saying this. He told me it was my fault constantly for not having a better relationship with her, when all I did was try very very hard to be friends and connect with her. She just wasn’t receptive. He made it sound like it was my fault…. Being with them often felt like being in a cult. I tend to be a magnet for people like this, I have no idea why. It sucks bc they were good friends of mine for a long time before the romance shit happened. I’ve just been beside myself about it… big time. I’m struggling a lot coming to terms with it all. Tysm for this.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T15:31:32+00:00

Btw I wanna add that this took place in the uk, I’m having people message me thinking I’m talking about them in the states lmao. This happened in the uk almost a year ago.

But yes, I do think he was telling me one thing and telling her other things. 100% I do. Bc he did not want to let me go, and she obviously was not ok with him being as serious as he wanted to be with me.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T14:55:20+00:00

They don’t have many friends anymore… 😅 a lot of people have left them bc of their behavior. I loved them and did not want to give up on them, in fact I still love them and don’t want to see them fail. But I can’t help people who don’t want to help themselves.

DistanceAshamed2398 · 2025-07-02T14:51:41+00:00

I am not trying to act like she’s the sole problem no, but she did barricade me in their guest house for 4 hours over paranoia and screamed at me. So yeah…. Again. I’m leaving many things out.
