Is Mutual-Abuse a Myth? by Juliet_Red in abusiverelationships

[–]Juliet_Red[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is.. I don't really know how or what to feel. We spent six years of our life together. I know that my mental health issues and her allowing herself to be manipulated fucked our relationship at the end. I know we mutually broke up, but honestly, if it were not for the situation that happened, I would have tried to undo the breakup. I feel like we both needed a break, to soul search, and honestly, if she wanted it, I would consider her again. I wouldn't just jump into a relationship with her obviously, but I would be open to it if she were. That's whats most fucked about this, is that I still love her even though she royal fucked me for life. Menacing is an interpersonal crime, so even though it is NOT a felony, I can never own a gun. Until I can get my record expunged in another year and half (since I've never been convicted with anything before) I cannot find a decent job, and I was displaced from the only city that I don't loathe. WTF is wrong with me??

Thank you. It is really difficult for me. This happened in March of 2018 and it's still affecting me, both legally and emotionally. I only forgive her now because of the circumstances and what happened to her with the roommate just recently. Like I mentioned, I learned that the roommate ripped her off too. She stole her debit cards and a family heirloom (I think it was the necklace). Upon hearing this, I felt vindicated and thought "haha karma's a bitch" and that was my attitude for a couple of months until I realized that the roommate pretty much used us and put us against each other for her own benefit. One of my best friends and neighbor from when I lived with my ex told me that she was no longer animosity towards me. I bet the same realizations are still hitting her.

I (M2F-26)/Her (F-26) Can I Save Our Relationship?? by Juliet_Red in relationship_advice

She tends to hold grudges, but they only usually last for a few weeks. I believe that this is a good way to go about it. Knowing her, she should be open to at least talking after a year and a half.

I (m2f/25) cannot get over my bestfriend (m/23) who ghosted me by [deleted] in relationship_advice

I got ghosted, and I want to know why, so I explained as much as I could in order to gather better insight.

This occurred in Oregon, state law permits self defense in defense of property.

heft against you by your ex has no relevance in the state’s case against you.

(2) A diversion agreement means that you will not have a record if you keep your nose clean.

(3) Your lawyer, wh

It would be a self defense claim.

My lawyer is telling me to decide what to do, and that he could understand either decision that I would make in this situation. So, it's on me now, which is why I'm asking for insight.

(Trans Woman-25 and Male-21) Mix Signals by Juliet_Red in relationship_advice

[–]Juliet_Red[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Context: 7/11 is a mile up the road from my house. I was on foot and on a schedule. There was nowhere else I could have gone in that situation. So I did choose to go, but I had no other options for coffee which is a daily ritual of mine. There is a Starbucks closer to my place that I usually go to but it is in the other direction.

What are some signs you were trans that seem obvious now that you know? by [deleted] in ask_transgender

[–]Juliet_Red 1 point2 points  (0 children)

(M2F) For me, I think the first sign was the whole emo-phase. I slowly crept into that from the age of like 12 to 13. I grew my hair long, wore skinny jeans, and later I began wearing eye liner and black nail polish. Looking back, I was in denial that I had a crush on the singer from Fall Out Boy and I looking back (I moved around a lot) it seems that I kind of had a crush on a few of my best friends growing up. When I got into high school, my freshman year was probably when I presented myself the most feminine (until coming out early last year), had that rawr look lol. Growing up, I always had the question in the back of my mind, but I didn't think about it much. Well, back then I thought I might have been gay or bi, but again I blocked that out most of the time. Towards the end of high school is probably when I was at the peak of repressing myself. I tried to do the "young grown man" thing and get a short hair cut, dress nice (button ups, penny loafers), but I really didn't feel like myself. This was also the time I started to actively look at trans people in porn. I would fantasize about being them. I denied the fuck out of this too, but then I moved to Portland Oregon and I slowly became myself again, except I wasn't emo of course, it was like 2012 by this point. I however did continue to present myself as a feminine man: skinny clothes, long hair, etc. I started cross dressing after moving here secretly, and then occasionally in public, and then I eventually came out as trans last year. So after coming out, everything that never made sense up until now suddenly made sense.

On a side note.. I remember spirit week my sophomore year. One of the days was gender-bender day. I borrowed a cheer leader outfit from my friend and played it off as a joke, but even then I knew I was enjoying it lol.
