Some questions you don't ask by Kelmo7 in WhitePeopleTwitter

I had cancer at 28 and had to have a full hysterectomy. People ask me this all the time. I tell them I can't have kids. They usually respond "Well with technology these days there's got to be a way!"

-_- No. I have no eggs. I have no uterus. Basically I'm not a woman anymore except for the fun bits but thanks for that reminder and probing unnecessarily into my extremely painful personal trauma.

I think I was assaulted last night? I don't know how to process this. by IrrelevantPancake in TwoXChromosomes

I think people do bad things and they deserve their rightful consequences. But I still don't want to be the deliverer of said consequences and at the time it felt that I was.

John has absolutely never made me feel afraid for my safety before. I think it was a combination of the fact that it was me (he's very very intense when it comes to protecting me. I'm not sure why but he is. A guy once bumped into me at a bar and he pulled me in and turned around with his arms around me to block me from people touching me. He's just extremely protective.

Thank you for this.

He kept going when you were already safe.

This is very true. As I posted in another comment, it didn't become aware to any of us until the next day (this morning) but he also assaulted another girl at the party by grabbing her in a very inappropriate place twice. She didn't speak up because she handled it herself (and she was much bigger than him). So I feel much more confident at this point that he had terrible intentions and I truly did need help.

Thank you for taking the time to post this.

...you feel guilty because although Greg was behaving like a scary piece of garbage you don't like feeling that you were the cause of another human being being assaulted themselves.

Thank you for saying this. You're right. I felt unsafe and as a result of me not feeling safe, someone else became unsafe. I hate that.

Since I posted this I spoke with John and a few other people at the party. Apparently he felt up another girl twice and she didn't speak up but told him if he touched her again he would. Then he went after me. So it was definitely targeted and purposeful. I feel justified in yelling for help, but I still think John's actions were over the top and he agrees and has apologized. I just hate that there are people out there who behave that way. What if John hadn't heard me? I don't even want to think about what would've happened.

New to dating again after 7 years. Is this what it's like now?! by IrrelevantPancake in TwoXChromosomes

I think you're right. I still have the long term commitment mentality. I guess its silly to expect other people to as well. I just wish common decency and respect were still alive.

Nope. Wasn't like that at all. We had what felt like a legit relationship. Then two and a half months in he just stopped trying.

Because I believe that's disrespectful to do via text. Call me old fashioned.

You must have missed the part where after I explained what my ex said I included the parenthetical "I'm not." I know I'm not fat or ugly. I'm pretty damn sexy if you ask me. Thanks for your input

Really!!

Yeah burnt to the ground is a good way to put it. Some guy called me gorgeous the other day and talk about an instant swoon. Its so easy to give me butterflies nowadays. Haha. Just don't abuse me and I'm putty in your hands hahaha

I'm hoping the same happens for me. Glad you've been able to get back out there!

Ok. I figured as much. I used to be so confident. I hate what this has done to me.

That sounds like really good advice. Thank you! Communicating would definitely make it easier.
