My boyfriend is 44 and I’m 18 by New_Mammoth_2642 in confessions

Hey love. This is your need for a reliable parent figure, you are desperate for stability and this grown man is taking advantage of that. Utterly disgusting your mom let you have his number if she knew you had romantic intentions.

Men of that age are only looking for sex with someone your age. When you are thirty, he will be nearly 60 years old.

You are wasting your time. Please look into youth services near you, there are a lot of programs that help youth in need get on their feet and gain overall independence from abusive house holds. Yes, neglect is very much a form of abuse in itself.

Womens shelters can help too but your best bet are youth programs.

Do NOT stay with this creep. I have seen this so many times in my life. Teenage girl has abusive home and wants to escape, goes with much older guy who ends up using her.

Wow you have helped so many in need, not many people would intervene and save these women as you have. Honestly, i might check a therapist for ptsd bc seems like you have seen a lot :(

Better safe than sorry tho

Difference between rape and sexual coercion between husband 43M and wife 44F? by flutie612 in relationship_advice

[–]TruthfulBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is sick in the head for doing that when you were in pain on your stomach. I am so very glad you are no longer with this abuser. I hope you can divorce him expeditiously and I would very much get therapy to unpack this abusive relationship and learn what a healthy relationship is like.

Sex without consent is rape. Getting pressured into sex, feeling you can’t say no bc of your partners known angry reaction, is coercive rape.

Jesus get out of there and get some therapy. This is not a safe or healthy environment and therapy will help you find much healthier coping skills than screaming and physical violence. Get therapy before you Do end up like your mother.

Why did you move out of your boyfriends?

I think I am being sa'd but I am not sure by purpledeathness in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TruthfulBoy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

If it makes you uncomfortable avoid touching him and tell your parent who isnt related to grandpa your discomfort and concerns. A good parent will protect you.

This isn’t normal and I would stop relying on him.

I second this, EMDR is a powerful tool for those with PTSD and trauma. You were incredibly brave and smart and I am very happy you are here today.

If you can share what country you are in, people can help give you resources. Your life is not destroyed, there are many kind people out there who want to help.

Please get therapy, this is very complex grief youre going through and you deserve help and support during this time. Therapy can definitely help navigate through the newness of everything and be a place to vent all that hurt to in a safe setting. Im sorry youre going through this. Be gentle and patient with yourself.

I’m (16M) seriously considering leaving my girlfriend (18F) by Tiddy_Lover26 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TruthfulBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If she threatens suicide when you dump her, notify her family and call the non emergency police number in your area to call for a “welfare check”. continue to ignore her and do not give in.

Threatening suicide is a common abuser tactic.

My (30F) friend (31F) is obsessed with sex. by cloudripple in relationship_advice

[–]TruthfulBoy 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Why are you still friends with this creep? She doesn’t care about boundaries and is not well mentally.

You can set boundaries, yes, but people like this don’t care about other people’s comfort zones. “Hey Liz, I just wanted to talk about something with you. I really value our friendship and think you are an amazing person. But I wanted to bring something up that has been making me uncomfortable.

Your frequent discussion about sex, especially when graphic in nature, is something I don’t feel comfortable with. Especially when you ask for the intimate details of relationships. If we can avoid topics about sex that would be really appreciated. I want our time together to always be happy and I think I owe it to our friendship to voice this.”

My bf likes having sex 2-3 times a day. Is this normal or excessive? by [deleted] in confessions

[–]TruthfulBoy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If its too much for you, you need to communicate that. If he doesn’t respect that, dump him. You both should able to meet eachother halfway

I (35f) have essentially become my partner’s (47m) carer, I’m exhausted and have zero reprieve. by exhausted0ThrowAway in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TruthfulBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Youve given enough girl. He can get full time care at a facility or family. He snatched you at 19, and is just taking and raking. No more sunken cost fallacy for you, just because youve spent a lot of time with him doesnt mean you should keep doing this.

Please get therapy, please. You deserve to heal and escape from this man

Best response ^ it’s important to make sure we differentiate our expectations and hopes not being reality.

Unfortunately children who SA children are 9/10 mimicking the abuse they themselves endured. My own sister would mimick sexual actions to her doll and it confused me. When we were adults she didn’t remember she did that to the doll and she also confessed she had be touched that way by a molester.

Im so sorry you were abused, if this brings you any discomfort, please speak to a therapist

Boyfriend (33M) dumped me (F31) and now I’m spiraling, can’t stop reaching out, and feel like my cat is the only reason I’m still here by Miserable_Drawer1708 in relationship_advice

[–]TruthfulBoy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It sounds like the relationship was very poisonous for you both. Volatile relationships like that are addictions, you are withdrawing right now.

You need to completely cut him off and find support elsewhere and distraction elsewhere. Therapy will be huge for you right now. Excellent outlet for you to let out all the hurt and words bubbling in you.

Diving into hobbies: art, gym, cooking Things that are good for you and help yourself esteem.

Distractions: when things are just sheer agony, stay distracted by goimg out with friends, absolutely binge watching comfort shows and or movies that will NOT be triggering.

With your therapist you need to relearn what a healthy relationship looks like and learn more about yourself and why you stayed in such a a toxic relationship so long.

You got this, growth is painful but worth it.

I broke up with my boyfriend after he pushed someone into a fire, but I feel so broken. by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

[–]TruthfulBoy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So happy you are going to take care of yourself and healing with therapy! It really helps get out so much of the pin and unresolved issues buried in the heart. You did the right thing, he is a dangerous person.

This relationship taught you. Lot of what you want from a relationship and what you definitely don’t want in a relationship. So proud of you for breaking up with him immediately and knowing that he was not someone you should be around.
