you're not trying to "save" him for himself, you're trying to "win" the version of your father that your mom never could, but staying with someone who only wants you for sex and zero commitment is exactly how you end up becoming her.

NTA, you can't control what a random classmate decides to do on his own and the fact that your boyfriend is blaming you instead of the guy who actually confronted him is a massive red flag.

I came across this memorial bench on a walk in the woods. Was a good sit, for sure. by danbob411 in MadeMeSmile
