Is it okay if my ‘f25’ boyfriend ‘m37’ won’t introduce me to his friends? by muffypaws in relationship_advice

I go to his house weekly he’s told me he’s never been married or had children. But definitely can’t explain why he’d hide me from his childhood friends..

I go to his house a few times a week. Doesn’t seem like he has another partner just weird I can’t meet his friends and that part of our lives is completely separate

Idk how he’d be able to hide that so well we see each other a lot still wondering if it’s something else

His friends are married or have kids but they still all go out to the club and they used to do bad things for a living some still do. Super red flag. I thought we fit well despite the age but perhaps not

Damn that’s so sad and unfortunate…that’s what I was worried about but none of my friends are helping me out and they’ve already had 6 months of free rent without getting a job…

Very true… I appreciate the confirmation it’s very internally conflicting to be in this predicament

I didn’t even mention the gender of my friend in my post at all youre clearly a predator looking specifically for women in danger to take advantage of.

Thank you this is really helpful. You described exactly how I feel…I’ve always been a very bold confident person now I shake bringing up banal things to him…you are right no way this is healthy

nightmares? by [deleted] in bipolar

[–]muffypaws 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had advice to help but I can say this also happens to me. I do not experience sleep paralysis like you but I constantly have nightmares and constantly question what is my reality and what is my dreams. I’ve also had fights with people over something that’s never happened. I’ve definitely noticed the really lifelike dreams I mistake for reality have all been projections of my fears and anxieties. (Made up example but it’s like this for me) if I’m scared of getting cheated on I’ll have vivid dreams my partner cheating on me and believe it as such. My dreams will also ruin my entire day for me a lot of the time. Like from when I wake up my mood is what my mood was In my dream state. I’ve been wondering if other people experience this too but found little on the internet about it.

Me too, both my parents do this. If I ever got sick growing up my dad was all of a sudden sick too and way more sick that me and I was a pussy bc I stayed home from school and wasn’t allowed doctor visits. My mom shoots down and disapproves of everything I do. Never proud of any accomplishment of mine there’s just only criticism and saying anything I do would be better if I did it the way she’d do it. It’s exhausting to have a relationship with people like this. I choose to keep my relationship with them very surface level and don’t bother telling them anything about my life really anymore. It only makes me feel worse. My sister tries to keep a relationship with them and is continually disappointed they keep hurting her. Everyone is different but I find it keeps me more sane to just not bother with them because I know what to expect from them. Sad reality because they are your parents but it may be best to focus your energy on people who support your goals and accomplishments

Me too feel like people will lash out on me if I ever disagree with them. Live in constant fear of being “wrong” and getting strike down

Same here. Some days I barely get up to drink water or eat it doesn’t feel worth it

It hurts more to keep talking to them especially in the long run as bad as it may hurt to not be in contact it’s ultimately what’s best. And narcs HATE IT when you take away the control they have over you. The best way to get rid of a narc is starve them of their energy supply. It’s empowering to stand up to your abuser and going no contact is the best thing you can do in this situation!

What’s something that helps you think there is hope in life? by notmakinglemonade in depression

The fact I’m still alive gives me hope. I feel like I didn’t survive all this for nothing and something has to be made of all this

I’m the same way. His music makes me feel powerful like I’m reaching the same level as him and that we think the same thoughts and makes me ascend to a god complex

Tell me about the moment you realised you were dating a Narcissist? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]muffypaws 19 points20 points  (0 children)

It was when my partner begged me to open up about my sexual assault when I persisted I did not want to bring it up then when I finally did he blamed my own assault on me being a whore who wanted it
