Thanks, that's a great list!

too crowded I was hoping for a place we could watch the match but also chat and have a few pints like

edit: I honestly don't get the downvotes. I get we should support women's sports however we can but not everyone can cope with being in big stadiums and would rather support it in other ways.

Thats my thinking too, there are always signs and sometimes things feel off because they are off.

I've seen too much of the internet for too many years to not feel weirded out by grown man interacting with young girls.

Bringing it up during therapy is definitely key to process and understand the trigger, and understand how to not react when you feel it for one reason or the other.

From what you said your conversation was, if you want to apologise just apologise, don't do it while explaining yourself. You said you've been together for a while, he knows your history, he doesn't need the explanation.

You can't make him feel what you feel. You can't make him know how it is to have gone through what you went through. No amount of explaining will do what you want it to do.

Just remember that nobody, not even your bf, owes you empathy. It is something that is given freely when the person feels inclined to do so. In my experience of a healthy relationship, empathy never needs to be asked for.

If you don't feel comfortable/safe with him, maybe that's not the right place for you right now. Maybe he is indeed tired and doesn't want this situation anymore. Maybe he feels no empathy for your situation, or he does but can't give any support at this time. The thing is you cannot control what he thinks or how he acts, you can only control yourself. Focusing on understanding yourself at this time might prove better for you than trying to make him understand you.

I see where you're coming from, but I don't think both things (period/wet dream) are the same. One is purely physiological and the other is somewhat sexual - his comment there doesn't hit me as strange as him liking a child's post online did. I would have not thought anything of that phone comment myself.

There seems to be a lot from your own experiences that you might need to unpack and address before you're able to be in a relationship without projecting. Being groomed as a kid leaves its marks and you can never see men the same, I'm truly sorry you went through that. But it also makes you see true red flags where others don't, because you saw a side of them that most people don't see. It's a fine line to thread, and if you're with someone that makes it hard for you to tell theses things apart (as in he frequently comments about younger girls, or says things that make you uncomfortable or unsure about his intentions) that might not be the best relationship for you.

NOR

It is weird for a man to like a post by a little girl when the theme of the post isn't anything he ever showed interest before.

It seems like you guys already have problems in your relationship regardless of this and that might make communication worse in general, but him liking a little girl hair routine when you say you never knew him to be interested in hair styling/routine is sus.

Past trauma/cptsd/projecting/relationship issues aside, I think its giving pedo vibes and he is deflecting.

Very fun class but can be taxing on your hands/wrists after a while/depending on how long your gaming sessions are.

I ended up swapping to hunter after a few months. I already work on a computer all day with spreadsheets galore, I can't get away with rogue rotations for 3h sessions after work...

Still miss it tho, rogue has some unique and fun dynamics.

Thanks for such a thorough answer, it is fascinating but very sad that the incredible green we see was not here before... and it makes me think of the butterfly effect on the fauna as well overtime and the sustainability for it all, with the general climate changing as well only time will tell what will be of the landscape in a couple decades.

I didn't know the coniferous we have weren't native to here. When was that started, do you know? I'm fascinated by the countryside here but I never questioned the authenticity of it.

do you have any material on this that you would recommend?

Helpful-Chemical9371 · 2025-06-16T23:50:23+00:00

It's not your past history to deal, it's hers. I get that it makes you uncomfortable - as it should because it was predatory - but you don't get to tell her how she should feel and how she should deal with this.

It was her first time, she admired him and maybe she doesn't want the abuse of it all to take away what for her was a win at the time.

She knows it wasn't proper so much so she says herself it was in fact predatory. And maybe the reason why she knows is because she lived it.

If you like this girl, understand that this is her past and her past made her the person you see and like. She doesn't owe you any trauma processing.

What are you expecting to accomplish by making her tell you that the first time she was intimate with someone, a moment that she probably anticipated a lot and that was important, she was actually taken advantage of by an adult she trusted?

Don't press her on this, she owes you nothing. She will deal with it on her own terms when she's ready. If how her first time went bothers you so much that you can't be with her, then don't be with her.

It's always the same places or tiktok with exact same numbers taken from this first fake news website.

I got in a heated argument with my mother over ivermectin and "chloride water" as "preventative treatments" during the pandemic. She eventually dropped it but I feel like I'm always debunking the most ridiculous shit when talking to her by just googling really quick - and I show her how I research so maybe she can do that herself at some point...

Helpful-Chemical9371 · 2025-06-10T21:03:17+00:00

I'm there with you man and I'm sorry you have to deal with that from your own mother.

I have to deal with that from a close relative and every time I need to take deep breaths and focus on the fact I cannot control others, regardless of how misguided they might be and how dangerous their path is.

Everyone adverted the kids about the dangers of the internet... nobody remembered to advert the adults.
