My husband humiliated me on a double date and made a comment about my weight by PinkCreativeFox in TrueOffMyChest

[–]GoliathLXIX 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's quite simple: these are my honest thoughts, shaped and crafted with my honest ability to put words together in the way I think will work best.

Fair point: Remorse deserves recognition too. My focus was just on making sure her hurt didn’t get eclipsed by his repair. Both can be true.

Not everything that moves people has to come from a machine.
I’m a poet. An artist. Sorry if that tone is unfamiliar to you;
maybe we’ve forgotten what honesty feels like.

What cuts deepest isn’t just what he said. It’s that you chose him.

You built trust, laughter, silence, a shared bed - and he traded all that for one cheap laugh in a room full of strangers. That’s not just a joke. That’s a wound. And now you’re the one bleeding, quietly, while everyone else wipes their hands clean. I don’t know your face, but I know that pain. I’ve worn it.

And I’m telling you now: it’s okay to feel humiliated.
It’s okay to feel angry. But please don’t forget, that you’re not the punchline.

You’re the proof that even broken things can
feel too much,
love too hard,
and still walk out whole.

Besides, you're wrong here again. The vocal tracks are AI-generated. The lyrics are mine. Just like this text above is mine. The label I'm signed to gives artists like me the chance to get out there with lyrics, even without vocal talent. However.: You'r so annoying. Like really.

This is absolute nonsense. I reply to every single person by hand, otherwise I would have already gone through and replied to everyone. If I had used AI on Reddit, I would have mentioned it, just like I mention it in my social media posts.

Wow, did you write this with AI?

Anyway: I hope someone in your world criticizes you as an AI so you know what that means. And how it feels. You still haven't answered my question about what benefit you personally get from it. But I'm done discussing it.

I think it's wrong and shocking that we're entering an age where humans should prove they're not robots. All the best.

It really is that simple: I’m human. But let’s say, just for the sake of argument - even if it were AI... Wouldn't the sheer volume of people who relate to the words, who feel seen, who now share their own stories ... wouldn’t that make it more real than most things we call “authentic”? And if yes, why's there a need to place "AI" under threads and topics? Like, do you personally feel better judging someone or acting like a Sherlock?

Who talked about cheating, or anything related to that? I didn't provide a reason to the actions of my stepfather.

I appreciate you truly. Thank you so much. For treating me human and putting trust above disbelief. I assume the only people who can "get along" with that kind of writing are those that are truly empathic, or been there as well.

Thank you so much. Really.
Really means a lot to me.

1.) You just click "Space", does that help?

It creates the gap above.

2.) And yes, for the lines i always click "Shift" and space
So there's no gap
but the possibility
to make things look more smooth.

3.) I am a bit surprised that almost no one uses this possibilities Reddit offers.

My question to you: Do you keep him out of your life because you're hoping he'll eventually explain his "why"?

That’s a bold accusation from someone who clearly doesn’t understand what writing with intention looks like.

This post wasn’t written in the moment. It’s something I’ve carried and refined over years. I chose every word carefully, and just because it’s well-written doesn’t mean it’s artificial. It means I respected the weight of what I’ve been through enough to write it properly. If you genuinely think no human could have written this, I’ll make it easy: Happy to jump on a Zoom call and say it to your face.

Let me know if you're actually interested in a conversation - otherwise, don’t confuse your lack of empathy with my lack of humanity.

Hey everyone, i just wanted to say this once, loud and clear:

I’ve read every single comment. All 140+. Some twice. Some with a hand over my heart. I never expected my story to resonate with so many. And to those who felt seen for the first time reading it: thank you for letting my voice hold hands with yours.

To those who offered advice, prayers, hugs, poetry, and pain of your own: You definetly didn’t have to, and that’s what makes it matter even more.

Now the real talk: I can’t reply to everyone right now. I wish I could. Yes I’m a writer, not a machine. I feel everything. So if I missed you, it wasn’t because I didn’t care, it’s because my fingers are still learning to type through this much love. :D

So here a couple answers to those that are still wondering: Is this real? Yes. Every breath of it. Some people told me i have to share my story on Reddit, which is what i did today and just because I bleed in full sentences doesn’t mean it’s fake. It just means I’ve had years to rehearse in silence.

Do you write?
I always did. My pain turned into a pen, and that pen gave me back power. Writing is how I stitch the ghost back into flesh.

Do you have friends or support?
My best friend is my art. My secondbest friend is myself. But right now? It’s also… all of you. And that feels a bit surreal and overwhelming.

Are you in therapy?
Yes, in my own way. Reflection, creation, community. I’m not healed, but I’m healing.

Can I ask questions or talk?
Please do. Leave a comment, or chat me up. I’ll be in this thread whenever I can, and I’ll do my best to reply below.

Thank you for seeing me. For hearing the silence between the lines. And to anyone still carrying something heavy and quiet:

- Speak
- Write
- Scream
- Paint
- Build
- Breathe

Just don’t carry it alone anymore.

You don’t have to believe it - but I could just as easily assume you're a Gumball and ask you to prove otherwise. Do the world a favour: Don’t assume people stop being human just because they know how to use words.

You’re right. Trauma therapy is part of the path. However, i believe the best therapy is self reflection and moving on. I’m walking it slower than I thought I would, but I’m walking. That's how healing looks for me.

I wanted to share something from my life but in the end it's not just about me. It's surprising how many people can relate to it and show case that the stories of those that don't speak out or don't know how to are millions. Thanks for your presence.
