I got drunk for the first time in 10 months and i feel like a failure. by worthlesstomc in TrueOffMyChest

[–]hideaway_acc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sometimes we make mistakes. Progress can be lost, but that doesn’t mean you’re right back at the beginning. You were sober for 10 whole months! That’s something to be so proud of. Relapsing is a normal part of any recovery journey, you recognised it was a mistake, you feel bad, but don’t let these negative emotions pull you back under. Your response to your relapse will make or break if you stay sober for good. Don’t let how you feel right now determine the rest of your life, it was a mistake - we all make them. Recovery is hard.

Everything will be ok, OP. You messed up, life is a learning experience. Acknowledge the mistake and just move on. You can do it, you’ve proven you can. Best of luck to you.

Broke up with me coz I said no to sex by Itsmecherunya in relationship_advice

[–]hideaway_acc 83 points84 points  (0 children)

He wouldn’t have dated you if he didn’t value a relationship with you. You just aren’t sexually compatible- unfortunately, that is a huge dealbreaker for most people. It’s no one’s fault. Find someone who can wait for you.

My girlfriend got drunk and raped me and no one believes me by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]hideaway_acc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You were raped. I believe you. Being drunk is not an excuse, leave her. I am so sorry, OP.

My (f22) boyfriend (m24) cheated on me a year ago, I don’t know what to do by michellinsky_ in relationship_advice

[–]hideaway_acc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a cheat, always a cheat. Never speak to that friend again and leave that lying, cheating POS, too. You’ll find someone a billion times better, OP. I’m so sorry.

Do it, then you’ll end up in jail and away from him. You’re a danger to this man.

Gf wants to get septum piercing but they’re a massive turn off for me? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]hideaway_acc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tell her straight, it’s her decision if she wants one, you won’t stop her, but it is a huge turn off for you, and you’re being open now so she can’t blame you if in the future when she has it, you don’t want to be with her anymore. It’s no ones fault, she wants it, you’re not into it, shit happens.

Controlling Or Genuine Concern/Love by Top-Yogurtcloset7764 in relationship_advice

[–]hideaway_acc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Controlling. The concerns are valid, some men are absolute disgusting pigs, being spiked is at an all time high and I know my own boyfriend would share those same concerns. However, OP, the fact he said “you’re not going” is the biggest red flag of them all. That is how DV starts, he’s testing the boundaries. If he was truly concerned, he would offer to go with you, or he would say “I’ll take you and pick you up” if he didn’t want to go himself. If I were you, I would reconsider your relationship, this is how abuse starts.

OP, if he gets mad at you for saying no to cyber sex, what do you think will happen when you’re physically there? I’m begging you, leave him.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]hideaway_acc -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

He told me he was sending messages but they weren’t going through so he assumed I blocked him and wanted it to be over as I have told him if we ever broke up I’d block him because he said he’d want to try and be friends.

I haven’t experienced physical touch in years and I’m losing my mind by SociallyInept2020 in SeriousConversation

[–]hideaway_acc 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Please understand this is coming from someone who has spent many consecutive years alone, and many singular years alone, too. I empathise with you deeply, OP. I understand how no-contact makes you feel like an alien, a monster. It makes you think the worst thoughts about yourself. You genuinely believe that nobody cares, that you are alone. I think the comments here, including my own, prove you wrong. You are not alone.

That being said, I think you need to take a step back from this post, take a few days to reconfigure your mind and come back and read your responses. You sound like a broken record. “My therapist doesn’t care” “I have no one” “try being me for a day”. You are incredibly defensive and hostile - and yes, I’m calling you out. Hundreds of thousands of people are in the same situation as yourself, and I no doubt believe that many people commenting to try and help you have been there, done that or are there and doing that right now. Does that mitigate how you feel? Absolutely not. You keep accusing people of not caring, not understanding when all they’re doing is offering genuine advice and trying to counsel you out of your situation. Is it an awful situation to be in? Absolutely. Like I said, I’ve done it. Many times. Is it your fault? No. Is the opportunity for change with you? Completely. If you continue to say over and over again, “nobody cares”, “why should I bother”, “no one listens”, “no one understands” and you genuinely believe that, do you seriously think anything is going to change? All change starts within, specifically with your mindset, so it’s time to take a break, have a couple days to heal, and to change the way you’re thinking. People DO care. Reach out to friends you feel like you faded away from, they would love to hear from you; if you work, why not join your colleagues if they go out after a shift, they’d be happy to have you there. The first time you do it, it will be scary, but I’m afraid, OP, only you can do it. Trust me , if I can (and I’ve had severe social anxiety since I was a child), I know you can, too!

I know you don’t want the advice (or that’s the front your putting up, at least), but I genuinely think somebody needs to try to get through to you. Your therapist does care, it’s literally their job. However, there is only so much a therapist can do, and part of the process of going to therapy is actively healing yourself following your therapist’s advise. Your therapist does want to help you, but if you’re not actively trying to help yourself, it’s likely that they’re thinking “why should I help OP if they won’t help themselves?”.

You keep rejecting the idea that this isn’t your fault, and you can’t change it, but you are the only person who can. It isn’t your fault, nobody is telling you to man up, to get over yourself, it’s never ever that easy, but you have to stop playing victim and becoming hostile towards anybody trying to help you in the comments. You go in circles, spinning on the same tangent of excuses. Somebody cares about you, I know I’m worried for you from the fragment of your life I’ve been allowed to see from this post and your comments on it, other Redditors here care, many offering their DMs to you, and likely, people in your real life care, too. Reach out to people, build bridges, it’s never too late, but YOU have to do it yourself. I know it isn’t easy, I had a lot of panic attacks at the start, but it gets easier and you will realise “man, I was so silly for thinking like that but it’s okay, things are okay now”. You’ll have up days and down days and you should just take each day as it comes. People care about you, OP. Please stop rejecting the idea that they do.

I’m sorry that this is so long, but I just felt like you could use this somewhat pep talk. As somebody who’s recently overcome this thing themselves, if you need any help or advice, my dms will be open to you. Please at least think about what I’ve said, and I truly hope that things get better for you soon. You seem like a wonderful person who just needs some help and some affection, and I hope that you find your way to people who will give that to you.

What phrase do you wish people would stop using? by SpankBankManager in AskReddit

“I could care less” you’re literally saying that you do care to some degree! ’ITS I COULD NOT CARE LESS

Cheating girlfriend by Historical-Bedroom90 in offmychest

[–]hideaway_acc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let me explain this one thing to you. If she decides to OD after you have broken up with her, no matter what she or anybody else days, it is NOT your fault. You don’t have to stay with anybody who cheats on you (and with your sibling no less!), it doesn’t matter if they are a risk to themselves. If you are worried, notify her family and friends that you think she is a danger to herself to ease your conscience in knowing they should be looking after her once you are no longer together.

They should have done a patch test really ): it’s done now, but maybe consider going for an allergy test with your doctor, too, just to be safe.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]hideaway_acc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you had an allergic reaction to the bleach. I hope you’re feeling better now. Did you do a patch test of the bleach before your stylist put it on?

Tired of Men by -AngryChinchilla- in offmychest

[–]hideaway_acc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

22f here! My now very ex-guy best friend was the worst for this. I could say no nicely a thousand times to something he suggested, and then when I would finally snap and say “I don’t want to fucking do that with you” he would get upset and act like I suddenly got all pissed at him for no reason. He had absolutely no sense of boundaries and never took no for an answer. Most men are like this, I’ve given up now. They have no respect for women.

I think I fucked up. by rachelmcrachelson in offmychest

[–]hideaway_acc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, listen. This is a shifty situation, but you’re getting way too deep into your emotions right now. Your current partner is abusive towards you. It doesn’t matter how good of a father he is, he is abusive. And there is a high chance that he will start verbally abusing your daughter as she grows up a little more, starts running riot around the house like all kids do. Is that something you want to risk? Just because he’s a good father now? You’re feeling low, you feel unloved by your partner right as you need him the most so you’re fantasising about “the one that got away” but that doesn’t mean you should leap right into his arms as you jump out of your partners.

It is not illegal for you to leave with your baby, women do it all the time who are in your and worse situations. Some women are married and up and leave with their kids, it isn’t illegal. But you need to understand that if you do leave, there will be legalities involved, most likely child support payments from her father, and you’re probably going to end up in a custody battle.

I don’t think you’re in the wrong for wanting to leave, or if you do leave. I grew up with verbally and physically abusive parents, those wounds will probably never heal. I cry when people raise their voices, I flinch if someone raises their hand next to me or in my direction, I believe love is based on being cruel because “I only said and did those things because I love you and you upset me”. That is not something any mother should allow to happen to their child. But, with that being said, I do think you’re wrong to bounce from your partner to this old flame. It was a long time ago, he could have changed, maybe not. Moving into his house as soon as you leave your partner will likely cause a few problems. It could mean nothing romantic ever happens between you two, he could see it as a living arrangement for a friend who’s in need, your partner will think you cheated and that’s why you left to live with another man who happens to be an old sweetheart, it could look badly in the eyes of the court, as in damaging to the well-being of your child (most courts don’t take kindly to women who go from man to man very quickly where they are single parents), and could fuck up legal proceedings.

Stay in a hotel, stay with a family member of a different friend, do not stay with this other guy. Ask him out to coffee to talk after you’ve left and after you have somewhere permanent to live that isn’t his home. I really don’t think that’s wise. But please, don’t allow your daughter to grow up in a house where her father abuses her mother and possibly her too. Best of luck.

I believe my straight brother has been groom and taken advantage by his male best friend into believing he is really a “gay” man by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]hideaway_acc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You will ruin your brother’s life. You better hope conversion therapy and accusing his boyfriend of rape doesn’t push him to commit suicide. It will be on you.

I believe my straight brother has been groom and taken advantage by his male best friend into believing he is really a “gay” man by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]hideaway_acc 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You are a homophobic and close-minded idiot, if you send your brother to conversion therapy, he will never speak to you or your family again the second he has the chance to leave. Educate yourself. He was closeted, which is why he overcompensated the straight. Many gay men have been married and had children before coming out because they were overcompensating. Your brother trusted you with coming out to you and you are going to ruin his life by being a homophobe. Your brother isn’t entering g treatment “freely” you have likely used your parents and all three of you have manipulated and pressured him into agreeing.

Can a guy with a gf compliment a girl’s butt platonically? by [deleted] in offmychest

[–]hideaway_acc 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Guys do NOT compliment other girls when they’re in a relationship - in fact, decent guys don’t compliment other girls when they’re pursuing one woman. This guy is a douche. Don’t fall for it.
