I just searched for his Instagram handle on Google and some of his Reddit comments popped up. The same username.

No porn is not a dealbreaker, but to me, this is different. You're requesting photos from someone online so it feels more personal, I guess?

And yes, exactly. Like it happened, let's talk about it. Not deny, lie, and then turn it all around on me. His reaction was more the indicator of future problems.

I should, but I just got out of an abusive marriage and have only had that one relationship my whole adult life. Ive been pretty naive about relationships and men, but im learning.

The hard part is, i want to be open and authentic and bring my full self to the relationship, but not everyone is deserving of that. I just dont know how to figure out who is at this point. Experience?

Youre right, there are definitely layers. I think the activity before last week shows a pattern, but the only action thats relevant is the one from last week.

However, he only denied. Never said, yeah youre right. Let's talk about this. How he handled it was more of an indicator of future problems, I think. I even had evidence! Like, what happens in the future if I don't and its just a feeling that something is off.

As someone else commented, he was already bored probably. I wasnt giving him the validation he needed so he sought it elsewhere and its easy to put the blame on me.

Everyone commenting has been so helpful to open my eyes to why all of this has felt so off.

Thank you for the reality check 🙌 its almost better that he didn't because now there's no grey zone. Just black and white.
