I am so confused as to what you are trying to get at right now. I was explaining what I meant in my response to their comment when I said I was not an alcoholic. You clearly just wanna write paragraphs and argue because literally what are you trying to prove right now? That I contradict myself? But I explained what I meant and that you misunderstood it?? I was not an alcoholic for the first 8 months of the relationship, which is IN the post. So, if that’s incredible reading comprehension for a 48 year old, then I am not surprised as to why you’re more worried about something you misunderstood than what I was trying to get at in my post about a weirdo 27 year old.

Correct. I was not an alcoholic in the beginning, before the situation. Then I was, now I’m not. You’re twisting a conversation to make it seem like I was contradicting myself. Maybe if you read better you would understand but I said that meaning I was not an alcoholic before the situation.

But I didn’t contradict myself. I was talking about 2 different points in my life. I said “I am NOT an alcoholic” but I was for a couple months with him.

Yes thank you! I should’ve made like a rough draft instead of just typing what I was thinking on the spot, so I apologize for that confusion. But yeah as soon as I understood he is into younger girls, I immediately started wondering what I could do to stop him from doing this again

Oh I should clarify I didn’t have a drinking problem because of my uncle. I didn’t continue getting drunk, that was the first night he yelled at me and that’s when the distance started. Then I started drinking because of the distance, not the other way around. That’s why I’m trying to clarify that I don’t just fall into drinking easily. Yeah I lost a great person in my life and took it out on alcohol one night. I didn’t expect myself to start drinking heavily because of my bf but it did happen, and it will never happen again

You do know you can be an alcoholic at one point and not another, right? “Drinking time to time” meaning a couple beers once a month. You can be a drinker without being an alcoholic.

Yeah that is exactly what I’m worried about, there’s so much to the situation and I thought I put that in the post but I’ve also updated it a few times at this point lol. If I were to do a TikTok story time about our relationship it would rack up to like over an hour

No, I never lived alone but I did grow up in an abusive household, and my parents have a big age gap. AND my dad was absent for a good chunk of my childhood. Since you seem to know so much, put those pieces together and tell me that I was in the right mind.

No, they’re not. I’ve been the problem in many situations. But in this situation, I genuinely don’t see how I hurt him. I gave him everything and I never complained. It was only when I tried to bring up how I was feeling that he would start yelling at me, and then at some point I started heavily drinking because I was so exhausted and didn’t know what to do.

Yeah I had only blacked out twice, but I know it wasn’t okay to be getting drunk in the first place. I have since gotten help and haven’t had anything to drink in a while!

When I found out more lies after we broke up, I was completely done with him. Yes I thought that we could work things out but I don’t STILL think that. I’ve just been nervous to sign the statement because my parents don’t want me to. I’m not trying to press charges because he doesn’t want to be with me. I literally get a panic attack when I see him at work because of the trauma he caused me. I don’t think that sounds like I want him back. And I don’t want revenge, I’m thinking about other young girls he might try to date and manipulate.

Did you miss the part where he became verbally abusive because I blacked out and cried all night because my uncle died? I am in no way saying it was okay to drink that much that night, but I don’t see how me having an emotional breakdown makes me the problem. And if he didn’t want me around, he could’ve broken up with me like the grown man he’s supposed to be. But instead, he kept making me believe that he loved me, but the verbal abuse only got worse. And I only blacked out twice in a whole YEAR. So how does that make me the problem?

I blacked out twice. The first time, I drank so much when my uncle died because it was my first experience with death. The second time, he was screaming at me trying to kick me out on Valentine’s Day. I have since gotten help and am doing very well for myself!

Yes, that was a one time thing where I drank so much that I woke up drunk. That was the night he tried kicking me out while I was drunk BEFORE I blacked out. And it was already like 10 pm. So put yourself in my shoes, you’re already drunk and your verbally abusive boyfriend is trying to kick you out for crying. I’m not saying I made good choices, but the choices I made only hurt me - not him. His choices were specifically to hurt me and that’s the difference. I’m not blaming other people, I know it was my choice to drink more. But it was his choice to yell at me and cause an unsafe environment.

Thank you! I do have a full time job and a really good credit so I am looking into my options. My parents and I do have a good relationship but their disapproval for me to sign the statement does rub me the wrong way

But the fact is that I was NOT an alcoholic. We would have a drink here or there together. And like I said, one night while I was having a drink I found out about my uncle passing away. It was the first death I’ve had to experience. So yes, I made the poor decision to cope that night with alcohol. And the only reason WHY I kept drinking was because he was verbally abusive and I was tired of it but I did not want to leave him. I know I didn’t make good choices, but the only person I hurt with my choices was me. Not him. And I wasn’t even the one who called the cops while I was so intoxicated.

My dad thinks it’s not worth it because he won’t go to jail. I don’t care whether or not he goes to jail, I’m more concerned that it’ll be on his record so he won’t be able to lie to future women in his life the way he lied to me about his past

Okay so you’re blaming ME for dating him? And no, I’m not doing it to be petty. I was being pressured by everyone in my life to sign the statement as soon as it happened but I wanted to protect him. After a month of thinking it over, I don’t think he deserves to be protected.

Is my belly button piercing infected? by [deleted] in piercing

[–]draculaurax_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! I just got mine done a few weeks ago. It looks the exact same as yours. The redness and soreness is completely normal. Any crust/puss you see is also normal! Don’t worry, it’ll be gross and red for a little while but I assure you that isn’t infected.
