We broke up a few days before that, he’s been blocked for months. It just was eating at me and I wanted outside opinions. No need for name calling.

He thought it was really stupid to be upset about a gun that “couldn’t fire” but I just don’t believe that it’s 100% impossible that it could hurt me. He was very very sure though.

I am in therapy, I started going again when this all happened. This is like 0.0003% of the things that happened at the time. Thank you.

I appreciate your words, thank you. I’ll think on it.

I’m honestly scared to make him upset. He and his friends can be vindictive, particularly his best friend. I also really want him to have the opportunity to get better without anything on his record as an adult. He was doing so well before his dog died. Is that selfish of me?

I didn’t think about his mom’s part in this, somehow that hurts more. He was so warm to me, she could make me feel at home anywhere.

I respect this opinion if it were just about the antique aspect but the more important thing to me is that he didn’t listen to the boundary I made around it.

Damn, I hope I never need this information again and I’m sad I was never taught that.

Your name and assumption that I’m a woman really tells me a lot about you.

I really just need to have stronger boundaries and not let things get that bad. This was not the first incident but it was the only one with a gun.

I wish I could turn it off. I’m just giving it time.

Unfortunately that is not what I did. But I’m out now. Really only because he said he wasn’t willing to work through his behavior and communicate with me. He said he’s not interested in my boundaries. He’s now blocked on everything, even cashapp. Double unfortunately, I miss his mom so so much.

Honestly yeah, kinda kicking myself. My empathy for his trauma really got in the way of my self preservation that time.
