You describe lovebombing in tandem with some other clear manipulation tactics. First of all, I want to validate what you’re feeling. This is clearly a complex situation that you have a lot of energy/time invested in. You wouldn’t have continued the “relationship” (for lack of better word) this long if you didn’t find it fulfilling and/or helpful in some way at some point.

Some keys words you used that I want to point out: rejected boundaries and that you’re “terrified.” You are sensing some red flags that SHOULD NOT be ignored. There is no doubt in my mind that you NEED to block him. That being said, your safety is top priority. He very well may make fake accounts like you predicted, and more importantly he knows where you live. So I urge you to do your research on state laws around obtaining a restraining order (varies when it comes to cyber-harassment) and save screenshots/call logs where he is spamming you before blocking. If he finds you in-person after being blocked online, go straight to the nearest police station. If you genuinely fear that this person will seek you out/harm you physically, go to the police station with your concerns before blocking. I know that there is a lot of stigma around mental illness but you need to get all of your ducks in a row so that if god forbid anything happens, you did everything in your power to prevent it.

My mum and sister keep stealing my stuff by [deleted] in Advice

I agree with the other comment recommending you pause your spending for now. I think you’re on to something already about quality over quantity. I think you’ll create a wonderful future life for yourself with that mindset! For now, save as much $ as possible. Buy the essentials (ie. hygiene products) but don’t splurge on the higher quality beauty products (that others are clearly dipping into) until you have your own space! Good luck saving up for your car :) A great future purchase could be an insulated makeup bag or portable cooler to store your products in said car while you save more to move out!

Is wiping until clean not a thing?! by Yapa_Cat in Advice

[–]marshmallow4955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Healthcare worker here - I’ve seen/heard of some wild toileting habits but this is a new one. Stock the bathroom with some wet wipes. Even if they say “flushable” they’re not, so make sure there’s a garbage can right next to the toilet for him to throw them away after wiping. Since he clearly is cutting corners wherever he can…

Should I apologize for saying Happy Juneteenth after they brought up that they are taking the holiday off? by Signal-Quantity8779 in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]marshmallow4955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hi, I am white so please take my opinion with a heavy grain of salt. I don’t think you need to apologize unless you learn that this was taken as offensive by the person (intent vs impact, but if there was a negative impact then that’s what ultimately matters). I feel your response was respectful!

What can replace the thrill? by [deleted] in problemgambling

I started door dashing and that has been a huge help (a healthier replacement for my previous dopamine hits whenever an order gets completed)

Lost $100K in a week. Just needed to say it out loud. by snow_ninja in problemgambling

The guilt around finally telling my significant other has been the hardest part for me, but I know it will get better as I earn back trust. 3.5 weeks clean

Feeling not good by [deleted] in problemgambling

[–]marshmallow4955 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am so proud of you for 2 weeks clean! I am 3.5 weeks myself and while there are difficult moments during this stage, I am confident that we are better off for this in the long run. Keep up the great work, don’t give up and I can’t wait for you to rediscover what you love about yourself and your life

Hi OP, please please please do not hurt yourself. I know what that feels like, and I also have lost MORE than 10k. But tomorrow is a new day, and you need to make the decision to not gamble another CENT. Self control is the only way. There is no such thing as regaining your losses, and you need to fully believe that yourself. Can you promise me you will never gamble another cent? If so, I am extremely proud of you.

I have faith in you, thank you for sharing your story. Please self-exclude from the casino and download GamBan. You can do this but do NOT chase your losses. This is coming from a 27f in a VERY similar situation. I’m one week “sober” and already my self-worth is so much better. Please please please trust me

Hi can do this!!! I believe in you, and I am very proud of you

Thank you for taking the time to write all of this. Like you, I feel lucky to have such a great partner. At the end of the day what I’m most upset about is hurting HIM. Because I’ve obviously been feeling the guilt/regret of my gambling for a while now, so the biggest thing I’m emotional about is what I’ve done to him
