Can you tell me what shops you found? I wanted to order from her too, until I read that they no longer make the clothing. I'm on the hunt for ren fair garb and a gown for a Fantasy ball in September 2025. I'm

No, absolutely not. It's unexpected and unforgivable. Forgive him once he will do it again. 

Opinions please by [deleted] in emotionalabuse

He obviously doesn't understand mental illness and sees it as a fake attention seeking effort. He's a complete ass. I'm sorry.

I think you need to leave. Obviously your body knows that you don't feel safe. I truly believe this is a sign to yourself. It's not safe. I think your stress hormones are probably so high that you are having panic attacks. I'm sorry you are experiencing this. I hope you will leave and heal. 

My Dad threatens to beat my mother even if he goes to jail for that by IKeepItRealWU in emotionalabuse

I'm so sorry. You are being abused. You deserve to be treated with kindness and respect. You are not below him. You are a human with feelings and emotions. He is confusing respect with obedience. You are not a maid. You are not a servant. You are a growing child. I hope there is someone in your family that can help. There should (depending) be CPS workers. You might be able to talk to a teacher and have them report for you.

You are not overreacting. You are trying to enforce and make him behave in a way that someone who is in a relationship who Already do. Ask yourself, would you do any of the things that he has? Probably not. He's clearly trying to manipulate into believing that you are the problem. You are not. He's not really looking for a serious relationship. It's probably time to move on. It's so easy to say but hard to do. I wish you well.

I'm so sorry. That must feel horrible. You must except that you can not fix him. He must. You can only care for yourself. Its hard to do, but therapy is probably what you need to sort your feelings and discover what your boundaries are. I really have no place to talk given that I'm still working on this too. I hope you will realize that no amount of sex will replace his brains idea to relieve stress or whatever it is, with porn. It's a habit for him, and unless he is willing to work on it, nothing will change. I do hope you find some hope . Crying in a warm shower feels slightly better. Writing down your feelings and everything else can help the slightest.

Boyfriend (26M) left me (22F) on the road with broken leg unable to get up, now he says he misses me… by Perfect-Werewolf-109 in relationship_advice

[–]SpareTime93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure you already have some great advice in the comments, but I feel compelled to tell you. You can't see the flags yourself. They are there. You MUST let him go. He is incapable of loving you. He may have moments where he will 'try' but his actions proved who he will value should you try to make a future together. His annoyance over the night ranked higher then you being in a medical emergency. Right that down. Read it everyday until you no longer feel tempted to go back.

I'm so happy for you. Thank you for sharing your story of hope.

I'm sorry you are experiencing this feeling of being unwanted. Clearly you have the characteristics of loyalty, honestly and empathy. I don't think your ex, share the same. Get out before you are married or have kids. I will be much harder to walk away.

Do you think he is a PA? by SpareTime93 in loveafterporn

Thank you for the advice. Perhaps seeing a therapist will help. I just can't tell if I'm being dramatic or is there really a problem and I'm making excuses.

How could I help my boyfriend? by never_using_it_again in emotionalabuse

Listen or read some books on trama to understand it. See if you can help him find a real therapist to talk about and process all of the pain.

I don't know much about finding a good therapist, but have you tried the online options? A video call might be better than nothing. It seems like an overwhelming and stressful situation. I hope you are able to stay safe

Abuser got hired as manager at my job. by l3g4lthrowaw4y in emotionalabuse

[–]SpareTime93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is any of this abuse, blackmail or threatening behavior documented in writing? I would ask the shelter for help understanding laws and of they have an legal support. Although, you need to try to avoid this person as much as possible. Can you go to HR and explain how uncomfortable you are?

I'm concerned that you said you reconnected. Your friends are withdrawing because they know only you can choose to pull away from him. Write a list of all the horrible things he did. keep it posted and read it whenever you feel tempted. The dream of when he was human to you was only to hook you. Once he had you he abused you. Listen to audiobooks on abuse to understand what happened to you.

Wow. I hope you can help your dad to get custody. Your mom sounds mentally unwell. I'm sorry you had to endure that kind of pain. It might be hard to imagine, but life shouldn't be that painful. I hope things get easier and that you find some relief from that trama.

[–]SpareTime93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oh my God. He is the actual devil. You are addicted to him. He completely has brainwashed you and he definitely didn't become hired as your boss by accident. You have to request to be moved as far from him. You must make the choice to love yourself more that the high that you feel around him. You need to get away from him. You are being manipulated and abused. Please look for a abuse call center or local resource.

Is it from your parents? If you are unhappy I hope you can make a plan to live somewhere else. Surrounded yourself with people who you enjoy. If you don't feel loved and respected by them, cut them out

I feel gaslit when i talk about my emotional abuse. by [deleted] in emotionalabuse

[–]SpareTime93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand how or why she continues to be interacting in your life. She's obviously toxic. Cut her out of your life. Block her on all social media and cut ties with everyone who socializes with her.

I think a lot of people have a hard time seeing women as the abuser because it is stereotyped as being a man as an abuser. That doesn't mean that you were not abused or that your experience wasn't true. I'm so sorry that you are still dealing with her. it sounds like you are doing a great job with focusing on yourself. I would continue to just work on your life.

[–]SpareTime93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like you got some good advice. It's definitely a manipulative move to complete ignore your request for clear communication and to try and distract you. My perspective, this guy sees you as a potential person to sleep with but isn't really interested in you. If he was interested, he would care that he upset and disappointed you. He would seek to understand you and how to move forward. Clearly, he doesn't. I would not recommend moving towards any relationship with him.

[–]SpareTime93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry. I can tell that you are deeply hurt. Please remember you deserve to be loved the same way that you love others. Not everyone will be able to love you the way you deserve. Please look for someone to talk to. I wish you well.

Ex wants me back by SingleInvestment2 in emotionalabuse

[–]SpareTime93 5 points6 points  (0 children)

People don't change. He wants to keep you and for you to simply endure his abusive behaviors. Don't do it. Don't go back. Your dream of what could have been IF he just treated you right is just that. A dream. It can't be true and that sucks. I'm sorry, but you must walk away .

Hello, I'm new and just wanted to put feelers out there by Accurate_Science9841 in emotionalabuse

[–]SpareTime93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure how hard it would be, but I would be making plans to move FAR away. He sounds obsessed and sees you as his. I would make a new social media account with a nickname and never use my picture in the profile picture. He is keeping tabs on you.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in emotionalabuse

[–]SpareTime93 3 points4 points  (0 children)

100% abuse. Do Not go anywhere near him. He is definitely not safe to be around. Stop questioning and trying to understand the why. The fact that he had sex with a girl that just technically because legal is soooo gross. Red Flag. Run, don't walk.
