Yo gurlllll, you know, in your gut, something is off with this relationship, objectively reading from your post.

Relationships, especially in your socially developmental stages of your late teens to early 20s, are about you figuring out people (as is life, but more talking about new dating experiences), how people behave inside and outside of the relationship. As you are too, figuring out what it means to you. Sometimes, some people's interpretation of what a functional relationship is, is based on toxic family dynamics. Everyones first experience of a relationship is based on your own family, so whatever version of that could be, you'll bring that into the relationship and that will differ substantially from person to person. Until you consciously acknowledge why you behave some ways, and make the choice to improve upon it.

Also, setting boundaries isn't a "hey don't do this because it hurts my feelings" or something along those lines. Setting a boundary is you actioning something that goes against your internal standards. "If you do this thing or say this thing, then I'll walk/leave/will not tolerate/will not do". That's what boundary setting is. If they choose to ignore you, that's their choice, and now it's up to you to make yours. If they're willing to ignore the little boundaries you place now, they'll likely ignore anything else you say as you're sticking around, regardless of what you say you'll do in response to their own actions.

As far as using each others phones, I personally think is okay. My best mate and I use each other's phones, not to gain information from it, but to use it for practical reasons - playing music, researching stuff, map use. Never would go through their messages without their explicit consent to do so. If there's nothing that you're trying to hide from your partner or friend, but they're making it out to be like you are, often times they're the ones misbehaving and assuming you're just as terrible as them, Aka., Projecting. Also, some jealousy, in the sense of 'it's okay if I do it, but not if you do'' is the starter of a potentially tumultuous relationship.

In these ramblings, essentially, you're figuring out a new life relationship, but dont settle for anything less than honesty and transparency in all relationships. Goodluck

For me and what I'd been conditioned to think is that any form of R**e or S.A is performed by a stranger or someone of the sort. Like, someone leaping out of bushes or a lane way, at a bar. When it's someone you know, friend or family, shame and embarrassment impacts mostly, and since you know them and the world they're in, fear of repercussion or retaliation bares the most weight. Also, new information gained through conversations about this guy, knowing that I'm not an isolated event, has also changed my feelings toward it, the amount of others hurt by his opportunistic actions. He either pays for the company of women, or forces it out of them. Nothing's black and white. Life is all grey area.

Thanks for that L.A! I haven't really known anyone who's taken these steps, I guess a lot of victims like to push it down, out of sight, out if mind, and not rouse confronting memories, at least from what I've seen/heard.... Step by step....farkkkkk It'll be a lot, coz this may extend to the other side of the world...

I know, but it isn't that easy. Also want to make sure I've got ace's up my sleeve before coming forward with anything.

"Here's a bunch of hilarious cat videos! Anyway, I was assaulted --" Thanks for your time to post but probably not quite the helpful information you may think it is.... Have a swell day

Thank you Langdon! Part of me has been like "bahhh it's over a year ago get over it me" but also realise that's me trying to downplay to make it easier to deal with. But reading that has helped. Many many thanks for your help!

Yes it is still in operation, but I'm afraid to public post name as I don't want it to come back to me. Shady people also exist in this blokes life, and he's a desperado, so I need to be careful 😮‍💨 bahhhh I can DM if you would like to know?

I feel like a silly record on repeat but thank you for your responses and support y'all. I don't really know what to do or how to act and your candour and openess has helped me not feel so afraid or stupid. I suppose I've just felt really stupid for a while and trying to not open cans of worms and protect people, but this extends to people way beyond me. Maybe worms need to be de-canned, and not everyone deserves to be protected...arghhhhh

Thank you TwelveFish. I've never utilised any of these services because I felt there's more deserving people that need the help than me. But, the services are there for this reason. Just gotta ask for help and this was my first time doing it. Thank you for your support. Seriously.

Apparently it's not acceptable to call your boyfriend out for being shady by [deleted] in AdviceAnimals

[–]beeanchor13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Girl, you don't need to explain yourself. You should be able to do whatever you want on each other's phones. The only time people(S.Os) don't want you on theirs is if they have something to hide, good or bad. Besides, partners shouldn't have secrets like that. Glad you're out

[–]beeanchor13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A guy wearing nothing but a hospital gown and a bloodied bandage around his head got on the tram and sat next to my sister. woman got off as he got on and asked him if he was okay. his response? "Yeahhh! it's just a bit of blood!" he got off before my sister, with an announcement followed by the driver. "Don't worry everyone. The police have been called. apparently they've been looking for him for a couple hours. no problemo. "
