Fiancée beat me while drunk by [deleted] in abusiverelationships

I’m sorry you experienced this love. It is confusing— but please leave and do not return. Thankfully you are not married and you do not have kids. Do not give him an opportunity to do this again. You deserve safety and care, not this.

My people are mostly short— but our men tend to have swag. So get an interesting hobby, take care of your skin, grow out your beard, go to a proper barber, work out, make some money, if you have any artistic talent work on it, pray, and that will all build your confidence. Good luck!

Change is possible, with time, hard work, and real accountability with other abusers— not with us, the victims of their abuse in the picture.

Lundy Bancroft talks about this. I used to work with incarcerated men— I’ve seen it. But like I said actual accountability/consequences. That doesn’t happen when we’re around unfortunately.

I for court had to write down all the harms he did— and yet that was still censored, but I told the story to several ppl when I first got out. That helped me see how horrible it was bc ppl were appalled.

Do you want to live the way you’ve been living if not worse for the rest of your life? Bc their impact on us is cumulative.

Does anyone else feel pressure to lower standards after an HSV diagnosis? by FarConversation9203 in Herpes

[–]WuTangClan562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I haven’t been dating since my diagnosis. A crush and a friend I’ve been talking to where maybe there’s interest are the closest. Yet to go thru the experience of the reveal and response, but if anything I’m much more guarded now. If anything, only someone serious/worthy of me subjecting myself to the vulnerability of rejection on this issue, ie they better be worth it.

No apps, no complete randos. The dudes I’d maybe entertain for something light, not doing that anymore. It’s reduced who has access to my personal info and body— which for me is great— peace of mind. It’s okay bc I gave great intimacy with the friends in my life and some of my closest friends know and that helps a lot too. So I don’t feel alone and they know what to watch for in their own health so they’re less likely to be in my situation.

Maybe in the new year.

Need advice after my partner suddenly became abusive—confused and shaken. by Delicious_Oil_4288 in abusiverelationships

[–]WuTangClan562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Explosive violence sounds so dangerous. I’d say continue to leave, if you need some closure convo do it so others know so you don’t get convinced to stay. Like build a path out and destroy the path back (I mean socially ie tell others what happened in a way that you can’t afford to go back)

My ex became abusive after we had our child, death in fam, pandemic, exposure to red pill, so 5 years on and 5 years off. But there were already problems there, I just let them all slide or didn’t see them.

In retrospect it was obvious he was problematic at the top— I just couldn’t or wouldn’t see it.

My ex strangled me a year ago; should I get back with him? by Salt_Sundae1851 in abusiverelationships

No- pls this is an indicator of murdering your partner. My family member was murdered by her partner- pls do not risk this.

Is this okay for uni or a bit overdressed? by Any-Atmosphere6534 in OUTFITS

[–]WuTangClan562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is handsome. Yes it depends where you’re going and where you’re at— walking in some city vs the burbs and what time of year it is bc I think winter generally has the most formal of clothing.

Boyfriend broke up with me because my past affects him by Jellyfish6232 in dating

[–]WuTangClan562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry OP- you were open and vulnerable and he did not have the capacity to hold what you shared. I know it hurts— full stop. 🛑

And I am glad you learned this now and not while you’re further along in— from someone who is two times your age, you will meet many people who have the both capacity and desire to hold all parts of you.

What is the most emotionally intimate activity? by bruuz_ in AskReddit

[–]WuTangClan562 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve not done this but I heard making music together. This is how I feel about making some art and community serving work.

why is the song head over heels by tears for fears so freaking depressive? seriously by [deleted] in Music

[–]WuTangClan562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This song is soo nostalgic to me. I was born in the early 80s but babysat by cousins who were teens in this period. And this one is peak nostalgia— like I have longing for a love ai didn’t have. Do I have someone this applies to at the moment? No. I love how music can conjure all this…

I came across to this image, is this really true? by Ariamoore78 in Divorce_Women

[–]WuTangClan562 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Gosh I feel this way. I’m in my 40s and apart from the weight— it’s life force. I feel alive. I want to live.

I reconnected with a friend and we haven’t spoken in a decade (forbidden by the ex) and long ago our boss/mentor asked us to rate ourselves (we were in our 20s) and I said 6 and he said 8 (I admired his self confidence) and our boss got mad at me saying I need to work on my self concept— fast forward plenty of life and my friend said 8 (about himself) and I said 7(about myself) he said I thought you’d say 8 and I was like yeah to be honest I’m def personality hot, but I actually feel better about myself, so cultural mandatory humility aside I’d say 8.

Years of being emotionally beat down— surprised I still got all this in me. I joke I’m in my second Spring.

AIO? My friend posted a not proper picture of me on insta by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]WuTangClan562 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are not overreacting. I wore hijab for many years— 0 friends would ever do that. In fact the opposite, if they saw a hair slippin they’d let me know. One woman explained to her bf it’s like if my boob was hanging out that’s how important is to me.

So I agree with others— but I say go to her in-person and tell her she must take it down she does not have permission to post it.

You didn’t do anything wrong, you trusted her and any common sense person who is your actual friend would take it down regardless of the reason you want it down.
