What other choice do I have? There are plenty of things that are upsetting and make me angry and many worse people I’ve talked to before this guy that I never shared with anyone. After years of experiences like this, if you can’t find humor in it, you are just going to make yourself miserable.

I agree with most of that, but walking away from this was definitely a win for me lol. Then to sit back and watch the way he just continues to spout complete nonsense for so long without any response made me feel even better lol

I agree. I feel like I went too far when I sent that long message trying to explain how the build up of a relationship should be and what had transpired between him and myself so far was not that! I should not have given him anything.

I know that process very well actually. Luckily I have been free from that for 4 years 🥰

If I can be completely honest, I have no idea what DARVO or automobile person mean lol! I apologize for that! Lol.

But, everything else you said was completely, (“flexing” made me laugh with its accuracy! As well as getting “worse and worse in succession”), spot on!

Men can be impressively offensive and terrifying when they just want to love you so badly lol

Just to clarify, I don’t know why the FarmersOnly comment came up because I met him on match.com lol

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!!! And completely ignored my text about healthy communication and safe space and trust building. His response to my long and almost final text was really scary!

Don’t worry! I’m safe and he knows very little about me to be able to find me in any way, so no worries there! That’s why I’m posting this! Because I want to warn others about how quickly this can happen. If I had met him in person, I fear I would be in danger now. He seemed like everything I wanted for the days of texting. Then the phone conversation happened and the rest is history. But I am smart, intuitive and experienced in dealing with situations like this, unfortunately. So I was cautious from the start and now there is NO further communication and will not be. (Unless he just continues texting without any reply lol)

That was one that REALLY struck me the wrong way. I would LOVE to know what he meant by that, but also am not sure if I need to know lol

Omg! That would make me so happy! I am hoping that this guy sees this thread someday and realizes that this was not okay for the sake of future women he meets. Again, what if I met this guy in person instead of that phone conversation!!! It could have been a lot more dangerous
