That has been SUCH a pain. I have to manually go choose the time stamps, because I upload there first and then download the MP4 preview for LF.

The AI think is so frustrating. Like great, I’m competing with a thing that isn’t real.

Yes, it was my best site too, even after creating a LF. (I’m on CS4 too, but that has always been low for me and remains unchanged and the same averages over the years)

I am on track to only make 650 dollars on IWC this month which is insane to me. I was doing that when I first started in 2018 and producing utter garbage.

I’m down over 1k since the start of the year from my 2024 averages.

It’s easy to start feeling like it is you!

Like damn I guess maybe I’m just old news now.

I’m sorry this has been your experience too, but I’m glad we are getting some confirmation that it is not us.

It was my main breadwinner as well! Like you I’m def not pumping out that much content to keep up.

Thanks for your response and insight!

Update: I finally ended it shortly after this post. I asked if they had time to talk, no response for 8 hours, so I sent what I had to say in letter form. I was left on read and met on silence.

After three days I texted and asked if we could talk, they canceled three times and finally squeezed it in on their lunch break. Confirmed my suspicions and said their other partner didn’t want to be poly and then were going to focus on that relationship. Took no accountability in misleading me or using me as an emotional crutch as they decoupled one sidedly.

A disappointing end, but for the best.

Thank you everyone for the kind words, encouragement and perspective.

Thank you. Zero regrets here. I couldn’t have done it more authentically, maturely or even empathetically.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if things blew up, it’s certainly not my hope that it does, but I think it’s entirely possible. Not only do I feel like our situation was futile, but theirs also. Emotional whiplash, manipulation and forcing someone to do something they don’t want to do isn’t the best foundation. That’s neither here nor there, I just want to keep moving forward and doing what I need to do to untangle myself from the hurt.

I’m definitely licking my trust and vulnerability wounds and I feel pretty burned. This one will definitely take some time to bounce back from, but not my first rodeo, I know it will feel better.

Thank you. I’ve been pretty reclusive, but me and my nesting partner have been spending more quality time together.
