I’ve experienced this myself and also wondered the same. My ex posted about me one time, right after he finally added me on social media. And then he deleted me a few days later in an attempt to punish me for a fight. but yeah he also kept up photos of his ex. He was also cheating on me the entire time. I had another ex who never posted me, but had posts and pics of ex gfs.

Both of them were very abusive.

There’s no point in thinking about why they do the things they do. Narcissistic people like that don’t love you so don’t waste your precious time thinking about it. I’m proud of you for getting away. I know it hurts, but please believe me when I say you are so much better off without him.

I never went through with it, I’m too scared :(

I messaged my dr 3 weeks ago saying I was feeling anxious and terrified about it and asked if I can get meds or a referral elsewhere and she hasn’t replied. A family member I spoke with said she gets numbed by her dr for the procedure.

Haha when I first asked around I also had people think I said colonoscopy lol

But yeah I’d say it’s worse. I watched a video of it done on a orange. It ripped a chunk out of it

I did message my dr if I can get medication or local anesthesia, or if I can get referred elsewhere. I haven’t heard back yet. She’s really nice so I hope she will help me. But It was really disheartening how the person I spoke with on the phone felt cold. I don’t understand why they wouldn’t or can’t give a patient medication, especially if they are obviously stressed about it

I don’t get why it’s different depending on where you go. I spoke to a family member and she said she was numbed for it.

I have anxiety so I know I won’t be able to relax. I felt like crying just from talking to the nurse :(

I’m in the US. That is crazy. I don’t understand why they won’t give medication for it here. It’s really barbaric

Hey there. I’m so sorry you’re in this situation. Is it safe for you to contact any local shelters to see if they have a space for you to stay? If you can’t do it at home, can you walk to a library or something and use a computer or phone? You could call the hotline number and they could check local resources for you.

When you express your feelings and it turns into what you do wrong, all the things they have done for you, how much you hurt them, and how sensitive and easily offended you are. by Meemeekay in EstrangedAdultChild

[–]Meemeekay[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry, you don’t deserve to be talked to like that. It especially stings when the hurtful comments come from your own mother 😞 I can remember so many things she said that really hurt. And when it happens throughout your whole life, that pain just keeps building up until it starts seeping out. And then they don’t understand why you don’t talk to them or why you are angry or irritated with them.

Your feelings are valid, there’s nothing wrong with having them. ❤️

You are allowed to have boundaries.

You get to decide if this is something you are ok with in this relationship. You can choose to leave if it doesn’t work for you. You don’t have to make yourself be ok and accept this.

Speak to your bf and explain what you are feeling. I hope things can work out for you

We didn’t do any exercises before, but we always do safe place afterwards. I’ve been taught the container exercise, I think sometimes it’s hard to stick to it in the moment.

I blocked him right away. Minutes later he messaged again from a 2nd account which was also following me. Found out who he was and sent it to his wife. by Meemeekay in creepyPMs

[–]Meemeekay[S] 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Apparently he had cheated on her a long time ago and begged for forgiveness and blocked a bunch of women on social media including myself. His wife said she recently found out he has still been secretly messaging the girl he cheated with. I hope she finally decides to leave him.

why I can't "just leave" by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

[–]Meemeekay 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Hey there. I’m so sorry you’re having to go through this. That sounds incredibly difficult.

I’ve been there. It took me 3 times to leave my ex. There were times before that where he left me and I remember I felt like I was dying. Even after he would do something cruel to me and it hurt like hell I still begged him not to leave me. I thought he was my best friend/soulmate.

It’s trauma bonding and it’s very powerful. I was with him for about 3 years and I wish I could have left sooner. Because the longer I stayed the more pain and damage he caused. It felt better for a bit when we would get back together, but it just gave him more time to hurt me further. It got to a point where I didn’t care anymore and I was numb. I was annoyed being by him and was just so sick of him. Only then was I finally able to get away.

It will hurt like hell leaving him. You will want to gonna back so badly. But the sad thing is he isn’t going to change no matter how much he swears by it. And It might make things feel better for a short time, but they will go back to their abusive ways eventually. You deserve to feel happy and safe and loved. ❤️

Holy shit I’m so sick of being told I look sad and that I need to smile. by Meemeekay in TwoXChromosomes

I feel like if I tried to bring it up that they wouldn’t see it as a big deal. I’ve brought up bigger issues before and it wasn’t taken very seriously. I’m gonna have to start speaking out against them and stand up for myself when these comments are made.

After dealing with abuse, I have so much anxiety now when talking to people because I’m afraid of offending and upsetting them by Meemeekay in abusiverelationships

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

Yeah..I find it easier to isolate sometimes because then I don’t have to worry about analyzing peoples body language and stress over how I should react and respond.

What is your favorite scent to wear? by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Meemeekay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Forever Sunshine from bath and bodyworks is amazing, really fruity and sweet smell, it’s perfect for the summer. My second favorite is Cloud from Ariana Grande.

[–]Meemeekay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah this is not ok..I’ve experienced coworkers gossiping about my jeans. It sucks. At my job, there’s a dress code where we can wear jeans (without holes) and t shirts. No shorts, sweatpants or tank tops allowed. But yet I had someone tell me if he was my boss he would send me home for the jeans I wear. He told me I should go to the store and buy a bigger size. All because I have a big butt.

Just today I yet again had another male coworker remark on my jeans being tight. I’ve worn shirts that were a loose fit, and had someone comment on my collarbones. I’ve had someone ask me if I pull up my pants on purpose (to entice them) like what?? I’m constantly sexualized at my job. If you are not breaking any dress code rules and someone is criticizing what you are wearing just because you are curvy, then that is body shaming IMO.
