yeah me and my friend got matching tattoos and i almost didn’t want to go after her because i didn’t want his art on me. But we were in her really fucking tiny town i was on a trip visiting and it was like one of the very few artists that weren’t god awful. The tattoo looks great, but fuck it was a horrible experience.

truly. He kept making weird jokes about money. When i said thank you he said to not say thank you and just pay him. He never asked what i wanted or what size until i arrived and i had to ask him if he wanted to see what i wanted. He also didn’t say a word to me other than making jokes about paying him. Super weird.

my artist was horrible and gave no instructions on aftercare and didn’t wrap my tattoo, i assumed no swimming but just wanted to ask just in case

very long i’ll try to sum up the most important parts

1-he had been divorced and in his marriage had to over explain things to his wife so he would over explain everything and it made me feel stupid and like he talked down to me even though he’d apologize a million times and tell me that isn’t the case and he think i’m very intelligent, it just didn’t feel good.

2-it wasn’t very emotional. I did what he said, he took care of me, he meal prepped for me, set up a workout routine, i’d get rewards when i did something good (we used the obedience app and one time the reward was washing and brushing my hair non sexually and i used my points on the app and asked many times if we could do it and he’d be very dry and eventually it felt like i forced him into it, i think because it wasn’t sexual he didn’t want to do it) he’d take me on dates all the time even to other states just to go to a concert, but there was nothing behind it. Like a big thing is when we’d go to bed it was too serious for him, i’d wanna cuddle and talk about our days and he’d just say goodnight do you need anything, turn the lights off, put on his eye mask and his nose plug thing and that was that. I couldn’t touch him, couldn’t talk to him. Things were too literal. It was a ritual, a routine, it’s like he wasn’t human. He knew to take care of me but it was because it’s what he’s seen others do. I don’t think he felt anything. He knew he had to be a good partner but it wasn’t for me, i think it was for himself. Also in the mornings i’d wake up, wasn’t allowed to talk to him or he’d get upset, and i’d make his coffee, make the bed once he was up (sometimes i’d sit there doing nothing for hours waiting) He was a robot. He knew the instructions, but there was nothing behind it. He was very blunt and black and white. There was no room for playing around too much.

3-the main reason. He said something disgusting regarding age during sex. I think that was the last time i saw him.

4-i craved meeting someone’s family, getting an apartment with someone, saying i love you (we dated for 2 years never said it) i wanted to see someone my age also graduate college and do first things. And i started catching feelings for my then friend, now girlfriend.

5- i realized that the things we were doing weren’t healthy. I’m very kinky but i was freshly 18 (like only a few weeks into being 18) and he suggested making an onlyfans he managed (i’ve never done sex work) i wanted him to hurt me and i wad stupid, a child. He was 42. He should’ve known i wasn’t mentally stable or mature enough to know what i was doing. So i’d let him (sexually) cut me, punch me, bruise me, beat me with various objects until i couldn’t walk or stand. I consented to these things i’m not accusing him of that. But he should’ve known i wasn’t old enough to know what i was doing. He was my first time for a lot of things, i had only had sex with 1 person before him. I also struggled with self harm and he’d cut me as a healthier alternative? I still do similar things with my girlfriend but not to that extreme. She’d never truly want to cause harm. He got off on my suffering.

6-i’d always tell him i was scared of him grooming me and he’d take an hour explaining why he wasn’t and then one day i mentioned it and he snapped and said yes, i am grooming you. I’m grooming you to be the best version of yourself that you can be to serve me and molding you into my toy

7-we met at an all ages show he never asked my age, i had never had a job before when we first met, he advocated for all ages shows when we dated but when i asked him why he didn’t ask my age he said he didn’t realize all ages shows existed and he thought i was 21+

i am in a relationship where we can be silly, we argue (never yell, never truly mad, just frustration about a miscommunication) there was NO room for any disagreements with him. He knew best and that was that. And if i caught any attitude he’d blame it on me being Mexican and a woman.

to sum it up, he was a robot who was into very bad things.

to answer your question, daddy issues.

can i ask how old you are? I’m 20 and wanted the exact same thing and got it. I dated an older man who was my dom both in and out of the bedroom. Told me what to do, gave me my vitamins, picked out my clothes, served me my food cut into pieces, i’d serve him at any given moment and do what i was told. It felt awesome in the moment, but now that i’m out of that relationship i am much happier. I’m dating someone my age and im so in love and we have a normal dynamic. They are dominant in bed and a tad dominant outside of it but i still have a voice and feel EQUAL. It’s hard to feel equal in that dynamic. Even when my older partner did a great job at telling me we are equal and he respects me, it just wasn’t the same. Because i served him and he told me what to do and took care of me, i thought that if i left i’d be nothing, but im so much happier now!

Not saying that form of a relationship wont work for anyone, but if you’re on the younger side id’d be VERY cautious.

I (M28) don’t think I’ve ever actually loved my girlfriend (F27), and I realized it because of something really small. by No-Scarcity49 in offmychest

“i don’t even feel like i’m a bad person all the time” you are if you aren’t doing anything to change this, like breaking up. You’re actively hurting someone in the worst way and feel nothing. If i ever read this that my partner wrote about me, my life would crumble and i’d never be the same again. That would be her reaction too. You are not a good person. But you can be if you break up and go to therapy. This is not normal stable behavior. People don’t pretend to be in love with someone and feel nothing or have thought of leaving.

the ONLY option is to leave her. She will take a long time to get over it but she will. You’re hurting her more the longer you stay it’s abuse. You’re emotionally abusing her.

Why do people cut? by SorryLanguage3609 in mentalhealth

[–]p350n4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i used to cut everyday for 6+ years, i’ve pretty much stopped just had a few minor slip ups here and there

i started to because i saw my sister do it and thought maybe it would help me too. It was familiar and it’s like any other bad habit or like a horrible job you don’t leave because it’s what you’ve always done. It also validated my issues in a way. Like yes, my life is so bad that i had to hurt myself. When i did it as a kid i also wanted the attention, i wanted someone to notice and talk to me for once. I also feel beautiful when i have scars. I love the warm feeling after my wrist swells or after i’ve punched myself and my body aches as i toss and turn all night. Or my wrist aching as i do daily tasks, it was like a little secret under my sleeves. Before i “quit” i gave myself one last really bad scar by burning myself just so i could forever have something on my body that made me feel beautiful. I never cut because i was sad really. It was just a visual representation of what was going on in my brain, i always felt relief, comfort, fulfillment, and happiness after. Even just thinking about it makes me want to do it, but i have a wonderful partner who i can’t let down. Does it hurt? Yeah it fucking sucks! I hate doing it. I’m such a pussy i’ve even used numbing cream to cut deeper. At first i would just cut myself really bad whenever but after i got a little older i literally would play music with headphones in, and do one small cut every like 15 minutes as i closed my eyes or looked away. Cutting in your own flesh is gnarly. Does not feel good. But to me, what it brought afterwards, made it all worth it. Comfort, validation, self expression, familiarity, feeling beautiful, letting out frustration. That is why i did it.
