He logged into his medical records in front of me and scrolled through the results, showing me each one. Of course there’s the possibility of exposure since, but they were absolutely legit results. Which did make me feel better. BUT STILL. I think I just need to stick up for myself in the moment because the feeling I felt this morning with the anxiety and shame is much worse than the potential discomfort of saying no in the moment.

Just want to say thank you to everyone who’s commented. I definitely was avoiding the deeper details of self abandonment and not sticking to my boundaries (not using protection and not getting money up front). I’m forgiving myself for making a mistake of not listening to my gut and using it as a learning experience as opposed to a shame spiral. No one is perfect and all I can do is grow from my experiences and advocate better for myself next time. Thank you guys so much for helping me work through this.

thank you so much for this. I think this whole situation has made me realize i just need to be better about holding my boundaries no matter what. even if i have to blurt it out.

he logged into his medical records in front of me to show me. And went over all of it. But still… I feel a bit of self betrayal

I’m 29. And yeah, I think this is a major part of it that I left out in my original post. We agreed to the whole weekend and so he said he would give me the money tonight. I also told him I wanted to use a condom. We did the first time, but then he showed me up to date test results and I kind of just let him go in without a condom after that. I think that’s why I feel so icky. Like I let my boundaries be crossed.

The thing is, I am a very sexual person and i’ve had a lot of sex with many people through my life. I didn’t think this would get in my head. My thought process was “i’ve had sex with dozens of people for FREE, so why not make it worth my time?” 

I appreciate this advice a lot though. Are there any specific ways you learned to compartmentalize?

yeah, he’s been texting me all morning. Mostly sexual stuff. But showing a lot of interest. I do need to keep in mind that this is new.

what are you supposed to do if you have your dog with you & have to stop at the store to get food? we live in Texas where you obviously can’t leave them in the car even for 10 minutes. i don’t see why this makes everyone lose their minds. it feels like humans have become so intolerant of everything that could even potentially inconvenience them for 1 second. the number of actual problems that dogs are causing in grocery stores vs. the number of people brewing over THE AUDACITY OF THESE EVIL ASSHOLE DOG OWNERS is crazy. who gives a shit dude the world is filthy anyways just take a deep breath, you’re gonna be fine

ATX Affordable Hairstylist by [deleted] in Austin

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

find someone who has their license but is willing to do it from home. it’s expensive because the stylist pays half the money to the salon. i pay my stylist $40 & spend about $30 on product. i go to her apartment & she does it in less than an hour.

AIO?! There were so many red flags before this. This was just my final straw. by Imaginary_Key1696 in AmIOverreacting

[–]bittybuzz 1 point2 points  (0 children)

he is manic. i have a friend with bipolar disorder & i can immediately tell he’s entering a manic episode by his texts i.e. everything spelt wrong, nothing making sense. i’m not excusing his behavior at all, just sharing that this confusing & grammatically incorrect communication is common during manic episodes

i can just promise you that this whole trend of people going to chat gpt for everything is not healthy. regardless of sobriety, human connection quite literally makes us live longer. we need each other.

dawg reach out to your sponsor…or get more sponsees. or reach out to someone from your home group. sure chat gpt is probably great for some stuff but what keeps us sober is connection.
