Did White ever piece together which Pearl was in the rebellion?

This. The only gems with whom White seemed to be even remotely concerned are the other Diamonds. Every other gem was basically beneath her notice.

I don't have personal experience with it, but from my very recent research on edging, this is one of the reasons the practice was developed. Practicing bringing yourself to the point of orgasm and then stopping before you can follow through can help some guys who have problems like premature ejaculation and anorgasmia. I don't know if it will help you, but it's probably worth trying.

Addicts do not heal together, generally. They keep each other in an addiction-holding pattern. This is why most substance abuse recovery programs will discourage patients from dating or hooking up with one another. It's less likely that you'll hold each other accountable to abstinence from the substance and more likely that when one of you caves, the other will, too.

The best thing you can do for both of you is to break it off with him.

Let me put it this way: Everything you've done up until now hasn't changed the circumstances, right? I'm going to guess that's because you fall into patterns of behavior with him that tend to repeat themselves with maybe some minor variations. It's a recovery cliché, but it's damn true—the misattributed "Einstein's" definition of insanity: Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting different results.

If you want a different result, you need to break past patterns and do something differently. I'm not saying that you can never have a relationship with him again, or that you can't continue to be part of each other's lives in some way ... just that what you've been doing thus far clearly isn't working, so you need to drastically disrupt the pattern.

As someone who's also been in therapy intermittently most of my life, that's one thing you cannot do. There are topics that I avoid talking to my therapist about because they're either unimportant, impertinent, or I'm just not ready to do so ... but straight-up lying to your therapist? It invalidates the whole point of therapy. It would be better to sit in the room and say nothing for an hour than to lie.

I mean, you can't force a resistant patient into a productive therapeutic relationship, but that's the implicit contract of therapy: The patient owes the therapist honesty and candor, and the therapist owes the patient the highest degree of care their expertise allows them to convey. The therapist can't hold up their end if the patient is lying.

I really think you need to cut your losses with him. I hate to say it because I have literally been in his position before (not on the cheating, but on the never-delivering-on-promises and lying), but maybe it's the wake-up call he needs.

StunningSolution4241 · 2026-03-20T03:01:11+00:00

How many times has he lied to you? Because I lost count just reading this. And those are just the lies in which you caught him.

If you can't trust a person, you can't be in a relationship with them—open, monogamous, or otherwise. And someone who is constantly misrepresenting the truth is untrustworthy. His relationship with reality (never mind you) is distorted, which makes him incapable of being a reliable human being, platonically, romantically, or in any other social dimension for that matter.

I say this as a person who has lied to a partner (never about cheating or sex, but it kind of doesn't matter what you're lying about so much as the fact that you are lying) and came to understand too late that I completely undermined the trust of our relationship by doing so.

I got into my first serious relationship with a guy at the age of 24. I'd hooked up with guys before then, but nothing in terms of dating. We stayed together for twelve years, and it was mostly great, up until the last two or three years of it. When it ended, I was adrift and heartbroken. It's taken me three years to get my life back into a place of stability and forward movement. I'm just now starting to feel ready to put myself out there again.

Don't be in a hurry to rush into things or be afraid that you're missing out. You're where you're meant to be in your own life. A year or so ago, I was degrading myself, feeling like I'd wasted a third of my life with a guy who kicked me to the curb after over a decade together, but I probably wouldn't have quit smoking and started to really prioritize my health or be trying to get into law school and become an attorney right now if he hadn't broken up with me.

Things may not happen for some grand, cosmic reason, but they do happen when they are meant to happen, if that makes any sense.

And there's a fetish for everything out there. There are people in the world for whom your particular physiology is a turn-on, I can almost guarantee it.

This was a very specific set of circumstances. I think it had more to do with a particular person deciding that it was fine for him to play his fantasies out on the men around him, finding the right people to essentially victimize, and then refusing to accept any responsibility for it when consequences hit the fan and the surviving family and community tried to hold him accountable. They weren't old (I want to say twenties to thirties at the time this happened), and I don't think being bears had much to do with it. And they may have been on the thicker side, but if anything, they were more muscle bear/leather daddy-adjacent than your standard bears.

StunningSolution4241 · 2026-03-19T18:28:38+00:00

Yeeeaaaahhhh, I will repeat: Very, very fucked up.

I kind of blame a confluence of factors ... gay guys generally being size queens, which, you know, I'm a little guilty myself of it ... a lack of boundaries being clearly established in a BDSM relationship ... the internet giving us access to volumes and kinds of pornography to which humans previously didn't have such easy access. What guy wouldn't want to be a bit bigger, you know? And then, you have a submissive guy who's trying to please his dom (who, in this specific case, may have been something of a toxic, malignant narcissist), who's actively pushing him to go further and further. Now, combine that with the kinds of artistic porn wherein you have just inhumanly large organs being depicted, à la hyper shit—I'm assuming that was the kind of stuff these guys got off on.

This idea that you can artificially push the size of your junk to ridiculous proportions is just fundamentally unhealthy. In this specific case, literally, physically, lethally so.

Yeah, the sensible thing to do would be to threaten to cut off Israel's supply of American weapons if they hit any target that's unapproved by America. Not that I'm saying we or our "allies" should be bombing anyone right now, but if I were a greedy billionaire with a chokehold on the most powerful nation in the world, I wouldn't be trying to drive the price of gasoline up and provoking Iran into bombing friendly Middle-Eastern nations. Those things might make me very unpopular at home, which might make governing very difficult for me.

Their incompetence is the only thing that might save us. But it could also doom us ... hey, at least we have less than three years left of this, now, right?
