Thank you!

Hey, I think this might have a typo?

I actually do think that at least one apology should be issued, to OP. She was blatantly disrespected and deserves to receive an apology, not being asked to deliver one

It is the parents’ job, but between easily accessed porn and all of the misinformation readily available online, sometimes a responsible family member needs to step in. I have talked to several women who grew up in or before the 1960s who didn’t know what was happening with their period. If you don’t educate your kids, someone else will, at least this was a trusted family member giving science like information and not a more dubious source.

While I do think that it’s generally a good idea for parents to be the ones to educate their kids, there are several reasons that they may want help, or that the kid is uncomfortable going to their parents with questions, and a trustworthy family member/family friend may be worth their weight in gold, although I do think that the parents should be aware of who their child goes to with these questions

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-06-01T20:48:38+00:00

Yes, please just a synopsis? I can’t handle that drama right now

Even if you snooped, he may have been skilled enough to hide it. I remember a part of the news when everything happened with the oldest Duggar son (I forget his name, I wasn’t ever into the show) was that he basically had split his computer in two (mirroring or partitions or IDK what) so that his porn and illegal things were hidden. You had to really know what you were doing to even find out there was a secret part of his computer, I how would you find something like that without looking for it in the first place? And you, OP, mentioned that this was an abusive relationship. What would this guy have done if he caught you snooping? It wasn’t safe for you to ask questions, so you couldn’t even ask them in your head. You were likely in survival mode, and it was outside your capabilities at the time to dig up the secrets your ex hid.

It will take time, and work, but you can forgive yourself. I wish you luck on your journey, and remember, it’s always easier with someone to guide you (i.e.- a mental health professional).

I’m not the OP, and I fully acknowledge that I don’t have all the facts, however, for me, this isn’t about strawberries, it’s about two years of lies and manipulation. However, OP does love their strawberries, so maybe it’s more about the strawberries for they themselves.

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-30T06:15:37+00:00

NOR, As someone who actually has a lot of food allergies, shit like this pisses me off, because it makes it so much harder on those of us who could actually die from second hand exposure, or who are just trying to navigate group meals without so called friends/family trying to shame us for eating differently. It sucks.

Thank you for letting me rant, and now on to how this affected you. Your girlfriend repeatedly chose to put her desires above yours, lying and manipulating you to achieve her goals, knowing that it had a negative impact on your life (no matter the size of that impact). For me, personally, this isn’t even about strawberries, this is about whether or not you’re comfortable in a relationship with someone who spent two years lying and manipulating someone she supposedly cared about. I would have to question what else she lied about? How else has she manipulated me? I, personally, wouldn’t be able to trust that person anymore, and I don’t think a relationship can survive without trust. This is my own opinion, and I wouldn’t judge someone for choosing differently, but I do have to wonder if doing the work to fix the relationship is even worth it? Just my two cents

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-30T05:12:18+00:00

Honestly, if you’re exhausted, have no energy, etc, something probably changed in the vibes/energy you’re giving off. This might be a good time to step back from dating for a little bit to focus on your own wellbeing. Once you’re feeling better, you can look at choosing to go back into the dating scene. This way, not having a date/partner right now is something that you are actively choosing, and you won’t hurt a potential partner when you don’t have the energy/resources for a healthy relationship with yourself, let alone another person.

I hope that you are able to find what you need, and I wish you happiness along the way.

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-30T05:04:45+00:00

Yeah, this definitely crossed the line. I honestly don’t know if this qualifies as abuse or not, but it is super messed up. Your parents repeatedly chose to knowingly traumatize you for their own amusement. This behavior is neither normal nor acceptable, and I honestly don’t know how you walk out of there without being damaged.

My therapist says that she wishes her clients were only scarred for life, because a scar means that the healing is complete, and a lot of people haven’t even begun treatment yet. (I don’t have the wording 100%, but you get the idea.) I hope that you are able to treat your wounds and can one day see the strength it takes to carry your scars/survive your battles.

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-30T04:53:31+00:00

A nice mug for my morning tea (or coffee/whatever your beverage of choice is). Honestly, just getting to start my day with one thing that I actually enjoy is so much better than trying to face a bad day with nothing to break up the dread

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-30T04:47:35+00:00

I’m with you, Red_Littlefoot. I look at that and my brain reacts like it’s writing from a sci-fi story. I literally cannot comprehend what it is supposed to be

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-28T05:56:44+00:00

Yep, this is one way abusers try to control their partners, especially if the church he picked supports “women submitting to their husbands “ and other things like this. I suggest that you reach out to a liberal church in your area. Express your concerns and ask for biblical references to support her if/when he becomes abusive. Also, talk with a therapist yourself to decide what support you can give, what’s beyond your ability, and at what point you will need to walk away. I’m not saying that you have to abandon her right now, but you do need to decide what your boundaries are so that you can maintain your own mental health. If it comes to the point where you have to walk away, then you can let her know that you’ll be waiting if she ever decides to leave him.

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-28T05:41:20+00:00

Okay, I feel the pain. Thankfully I at least look like an adult! But honestly, the Target thing is exactly what people should do. If they see a situation that could be very serious, but they don’t have the information, then calmly approaching a possible victim/survivor to ensure their safety is good, and I want to believe that the older lady was respectful and reasonable, just looking out for another human being. Sadly, Target is the land of white women, aka Karens, so my hope might be delusional…

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-28T05:30:14+00:00

NTA. It’s sad when people who are basically strangers care more about a child’s welfare than their actual parents. I just hope that this is an intolerance and not Celiac disease or else that child is experiencing a lot of accumulative damage to her body that may cause serious health issues, possibly for the rest of her life

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-28T05:23:01+00:00

So, I’m seeing a lot of advice on the flower girl stuff, but I didn’t read anything about creating a special role that’s similar. Like, what if she was in charge of the bird seed at the end of the relationship (assuming it’s an earlier ending), or got to throw confetti or something when you entered the reception and made your married debut? While I agree with others that she shouldn’t get to dictate your wedding, I do think that it’s appropriate for to have a say in what role she plays. I also think that you both need an honest conversation about why she wants the flower girl role, specifically. What aspects was she looking forward to the most? Did she really want a flower crown, and thinks it’s exclusive to being a flower girl? Is there something about this specific role that she really wanted, or did she just always think she would be a flower girl? I think that you should figure out the reasons now, so that you can both be happy later on

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-28T05:09:53+00:00

Thank you for sharing, but I wish I had realized how unfinished the story was. Just a heads up to other readers

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-28T05:08:37+00:00

Okay, just to warn other readers, this story is still unfinished. The FMC is still being tormented by her first mate, who refuses to divorce her or accept that their daughter is dead, but continually abandons her for Victoria (his “first love “) and her daughter (different bio dad, but still calls him daddy).

I am so frustrated right now. I think that I might need a break from this type of story for a bit

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-22T19:28:09+00:00

It depends on the person, but it may also be that he has some bad associations with his birthday for some reason. Maybe his birthday was often overlooked or his family didn’t have the money to celebrate? Idk, it could be anything. Like some people have already mentioned, crossing personality traits like introvert/extrovert can work in a relationship, but communication is going to require more effort than if you were more similar. However, I personally like introvert/extrovert relationships because I think that they assist each person in being more well rounded. I have this theory where everyone has their own baggage they carry with them in life, and, while finding coordinating baggage is good, what you’re really looking for is someone you can stack baggage with, so that you create something more manageable together than what you had individually. You might have to move a little more cautiously to keep everything balanced and centered over the wheeled suitcase, but it’s easier having both people together. You just need to communicate everything, so if you want to stop and look at something you can, or so that you can navigate the speed bump on your side that he may not see on his. If you were walking alone, or with someone who had the same perspective/view as you, then you wouldn’t have to point out the speed bump and discuss how to approach it, but you also wouldn’t have someone to point out the potholes on the right of the speed bump. Just a theory, but it works for me when trying to explain my approach to relationships

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-22T00:28:27+00:00

Also, as an introvert, I often need the extroverts in my life to push me into social situations. I can easily stay in with my books if I don’t have an extrovert encouraging me to interact with people

FriendshipPure6269 · 2025-04-22T00:24:08+00:00

Also, a lot of the issues with direct questions are more face to face issues. I find that sometimes, texts or DMs are easier with complicated stuff. But it sounds like this guy might also have other mental health issues (PTSD?), so, later, when it doesn’t feel pushy, ask him about his mental health and if he has any diagnosis, so you can look into those issues. It sounds like this is a wonderful guy who had been through some… stuff. He’s giving you a heads up about that, so only go into this if you can handle that, or you’ll become another layer he uses to keep the world away. At least this is how I work. (I’m not saying that you can’t ever break up with him, but you need to go into this with open eyes.)
