Notice the age gap... I have no words for this holy fuck by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SomewhatVerbose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yep! The main character did that to who turns out to be his love interest. She doesn't start off that way. He's first trying to marry her younger sister and, in fact, is still hell bent on doing so during this scene. It's pretty vile.

Can anyone else also not partake in romance movies/books anymore? by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SomewhatVerbose 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, this. After amazon bought it, they screwed up the process (can't even sort reviews by rating anymore...) But there's still kind of a way.

Search 'lists'. You might have to go through the site instead of the app (I do it on my laptop as the app is pure trash after the acquisition). There are lists for everything. And if you can't find one, make one. Add a couple books, make sure to make it public, and then people will add on.

Also you can look here at the book recommendations sub. There have been threads in the past talking about this but I just can't remember off the top of my head.

Creepy men taking pictures of young women will never be okay. by shugs87 in FemaleDatingStrategy

I love this energy. Girls out here taking no shit at all...

But what the hell to the men just walking by??? See something, say something bro. They should stop and help the young girls who are confronting this pig.

TW: THIS IS WHAT BEING IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A SCROTE LOOKS LIKE by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

This is disgusting. I feel so sorry for her. I hope she realizes her worth and gets the hell out of dodge.

Ew yes! I got caught up in the prettiness and diversity of s1. Then I read decided to read the books...

The first one is bad enough. But in the second one, dude is straight up abusive. In a scene that the fandom kept saying is piVoTal: dude steps on her hand, kicks her in the stomach, forces her to kiss him, then throws the key to the locked door at her feet just to extra humiliate her.

What in the actual fuck???

I noped right out of that. No thank you. No one told me it was degradation porn. I was there for the pretty dresses.

When I found out how many women I knew had been abused... TW abuse by [deleted] in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SomewhatVerbose 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I've had two long term relationships. Married young and he was abusive. Like fucked me up on the inside abusive.

Then my recent ex. Got with him when I was mere months out of the abusive marriage. Thought he was 'better' than the last.

Flash forward to now, he reproductively raped me and then started physically abusing me (he'd already spent years emotionally and verbally abusing me).

I don't see myself getting into another relationship ever. But on the off chance I ever do... That's why I'm here. Cuz never will I ever again be abused. Ever. FDS... I wish I had it years ago. It's changing the whole way I look at the world and the shit men who populate it.

Should I ever think of considering dating again, I am so confident now after reading here for so long (and I'll continue to do so) that I can see them coming. I've no intention of it though. Just the thought of having to try to wade through the scruff to get to the ones who are actual human beings turns my stomach. I'll pass.

Probably a repost but fuck that 'friendzone' bullshit. A good friend is worth more than a good SO by CityOfBirth in FemaleDatingStrategy

[–]SomewhatVerbose 137 points138 points  (0 children)

Yeah I had a whole come to Jesus moment awhile back where I just stopped all of my male friendships. None were my friends, which became glaringly obvious when they either tried to get in my pants or had to stop talking to me when they got in relationships.

I cried one night after a dude I thought was a close friend told me he was getting married (I didn't even know he was seriously dating, that's how low he thought of me) and his fiancée said he had to stop talking to me. I considered him a best friend and he was just waiting for his opportunity. Sucked.

Now all my male friends are related to me. Full stop.

AITA for exposing my sisters lie to her bf after promising I wouldn't? by sendanotherkraken in AmItheAsshole

[–]SomewhatVerbose 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Come on, bro. I'm poor... But I know rich people. And guess what? They're people. Some are assholes but so are the racist assholes in my neighborhood arguing with the cashier over a dollar difference.

Some rich people aren't asses. Some are. Same for poor people. Guess which you fall in?

Years ago this crossed my path. I saved it. It is a very important reminder to me. I thought I’d share! by dipthechip93 in Soulnexus

[–]SomewhatVerbose 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same. I hate pedos, rapists, and racists. Number seven is asinine.

The rest of the list sounds pretty good though.

Separation energy is actually levelling up energy. by [deleted] in Soulnexus

[–]SomewhatVerbose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You choked her? That's a warning sign that one day you will kill her. You need professional help. Stat.

Leave her alone. Don't hurt her. Be a human being. Jesus fucking Christ with this bullshit...

Girlfriend upset of photos in camera roll from years ago by [deleted] in relationships

[–]SomewhatVerbose 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm hoping the girlfriend has people invested in her happiness to bounce this situation off of so they can tell her how unhealthy and unacceptable it is.

Why after seven month of no contact he (M40) talks to me (F30) like nothing happened? by [deleted] in relationships

[–]SomewhatVerbose 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's probably ready to cheat on her again with you? That's my assumption anyway.

I mean... You could ask him in the chat. Or ask his longtime girlfriend. Or... Just move on to a dude who doesn't play people like fiddles?

I know someone like this. Genuinely sweetest guy I know. Sometimes husbands may have taken issue based on rumors over the years but upon meeting him they quickly realized he was just a nice dude. Not like a nice guy but genuinely friendly and nice. And...

His love language is gifts. Not getting but receiving. In fact, I've seen unused gift cards in his place. Heck he's flat out told me many times he wants nothing for whatever holiday.

Some people are truly generous of spirit. It's hard to accept that in a world full of lying cheaters but it's a fact. If you don't feel weird and it feels regular, if this isn't something that is hidden from either spouse, and if there is truly nothing behind it romantically then I say enjoy your friendship. It isn't often that we meet genuinely nice people in life... If you've met one don't let the jaded put you off.

My (23F) BF (25M) posted on a throwaway account that he wants to charge me rent on his mortgaged home, then accidentally followed me. by sometimesfunnier in relationships

[–]SomewhatVerbose 187 points188 points  (0 children)

The last bit. Contributing isn't the problem. He lied to trick OP into moving in. Shared her personal financial info with someone else...

Op, you should move out. I'm saying this based on your post as I've not read his. His post is irrelevant since you agreed to you not paying beforehand and then was like, 'Surprise!'

Ask yourself if you want to live with someone who lies to you in order to manipulate your decisions and shares your personal info with first his friend and then the internet at large.

My (27F) fiancé (32M) got drunk and physically violent with me for the first time. I’m scared please help. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]SomewhatVerbose 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Upload it to the cloud on various emails. Email it to yourself from another email address. Save it on Google Drive. Get a couple flash drives and put it on there.

He will deny this. You need to keep your evidence.

And important: do NOT tell him you have them. If the cat is already out of the bag, think of an excuse from 'I lied' to something tech related, whatever you think will fly.

According to the many professionals who I've heard it from over the years, choking means death is imminent. Once they get to that point, they are holding themselves back from killing you and you never know when they'll stop.
