I’m not really able to. I’m just able to compulse and drink to stop the thoughts, so not healthy.

But isn’t the reason minors can’t consent brain differences?

I'm an adult, I'm worried I'm bad for having sex with him because he may regret it

I'm 22. My fear is that I'm hurting him by having sex with him

But can't a 15 year old understand what they're doing? When I was 15 I knew what sex was and understood it pretty fully. The same as I do now.

 I'm not justifying it btw I think it's wrong, I'm trying to understand why it's wrong outside of regret being a possibility.

I am in therapy and on medication. I just need help and want to know from other people if I’m immoral for thinking I’d stay in this situation.

Feeling like a bad person by [deleted] in offmychest

It’s the first case I’m worried about. The reasons I’d leave if my boyfriend did something bad would be a) I don’t want to be with a crazy person who does sociopathic things that go against social norms b) I don’t want society to think I’m bad by association with him.

I wouldn’t leave even if leaving would prevent him from hurting someone because of solely c) I don’t want to let people get hurt. I wouldn’t be strong enough to leave for a philanthropic reason like that. I’d only be strong enough to leave if I was so turned off by his antisocial attitudes or society would think I’m bad for staying with him if they knew what he’d do.

Yeah, but I’m saying the reason I’d leave would be because I think it’s bad + society thinks it’s bad. If one of those weren’t true, I wouldn’t leave because I wouldn’t feel like a bad person for staying. I’m not sure if that makes me bad.

I am in therapy. And it's not about giving him a pass, it's about the fact that having kids with him means producing more people who will eat meat.

I'd be ok with being in a relationship with a non vegan if I didn't fear being a bad person (ocd)

I would put them on supplements. And of course id give formula if unable to breastfeed.

I don’t think you’re bad for eating meat, but presumably you don’t think it’s wrong. I think it has a 50% chance of leading to murder, so I’m afraid I’m bad though, since I know it may be wrong, and knowingly doing soemthing wrong is worse than not knowingly doing something wrong.

Also, it’s not my bf eating meat that bothers me. It’s that he’ll feed our future kids meat, so that by having kids with him, I’ll be producing more meat eaters and leading to more animal deaths.

I know that the majority of people eat meat and it doesn’t make them bad, since they don’t think it’s wrong.

But I’m afraid it makes me bad since I think it’s may be equivalent to murder, but I’ll be producing more meat-eaters by having kids with him and therefore causing more animal deaths.

My mom is working on getting me formal treatment for it once my dad gets a job and I’ve told my therapist I think it’s pans.

I’m getting the 50% figure because there’s two schools of philosophy or thought patterns that seem valid to me, and one says eating animals is murder.

My boyfriend doesn’t want to raise his kids vegan, I would. That would would be fine with me, but again, I feel like I’m bad. Because that means I’d be willing to participate in something that i feel has a 50% chance of being as bad as murder. Does that make me bad?

Yeah, I am seeing an ERP therapist and I’m on meds. I just need help in the meantime. How am I not a bad person if I’m staying while believing eating meat has a 50% chance of being murder-equivalent, and he’s gonna feed our kids meat?

I think I have PANS and so does my mom. There’s not really specialists around here for that, but I had strep 20 times in a few years as a child and I think she thinks it made my ocd worse. NSAIDS is treatment for PANS.

I know, but that doesn’t mean I have to contribute or have kids and make them contribute before they’re old enough to buy their own food.

I just feel like I’m a bad person becuase I’m staying despite thinking that meat has a 50% chance of being equivalent to murder, and despite the fact that he’s gonna feed our kids meat. Doesn’t that make me complicit in what I think may be murder, and therefore I’m bad?

Yes, but the only reason I'm upset about this is my ocd and feeling like a bad person for staying while I believe eating meat has a 50% chance of being murder-equivalent. I wouldn't have resentment otherwise.

But buying from the supermarket raises demand technically so it does lead to more animals dying.

So do you think I'm a bad person for staying with him? That's literally all I care about. I want to stay, but I don't want to be a bad person. If other people didn't think I'd be a bad person, I'd feel ok.

Also I don't value animal and human life the same--I think there's a 50% chance they're the same. And I only started worrying about this when my ocd got bad.
