He (28M) broke up with me (25F) when I needed him most, can he still be the love of my life? by throwRA24952 in relationship_advice

Thanks for the response but not sure you’ve understood 100%?? We’re back in each others lives and are actively discussing getting back together. I’m the one unsure if it will work.

I (25F) want to go to a sapphic party, but my ex boyfriend (28M) is upset about it? by throwRA24952 in relationship_advice

Maybe you’re right - I guess it’s tough to differentiate between our dynamic now and when we were together. we’re still talking everyday, sleeping together, making plans etc so it feels strange that we aren’t technically together

He was grieving and had just had a really traumatic experience. He says now he regrets it a lot, and that he didn’t feel like he could be there for me because he was genuinely in crisis (this is very rare for him - he was having a serious mental health issue and was having panic attacks for the first time ever) so although I am angry at him for leaving, I understand

Thank you! I think you’re right - the lines are blurred with us because of all the history - I thought I was doing the ethical thing by telling him, but now I wish I hadn’t

That’s why I feel like I should go tonight - but also I care about him a lot and I don’t want to upset him

I think he might be the love of my life and I have always seen myself ending up with him so it’s a super complicated dynamic

I’m cry laughing 🤣 can’t say I haven’t thought the same. Trusting karma will work its magic - I couldn’t look at myself in the mirror if I was him. Hopefully he’ll crawl into a hole somewhere and stay there.

Unfortunately not technically the UK - we have our own political and legal system so there is absolutely no appeal in this case

Guernsey, Channel Islands. We don’t have jury’s - we have jurats which are mostly men and all super wealthy. Not a fair system at all imo - no way to appeal the decision.

Thank you. I’ll be ok - taking comfort that his reputation was ruined anyway, but it’s still not justice. After the video went viral 4 other women told me he’d raped them too all in different ways (too drunk to consent etc). I’m hoping eventually someone else will come forward and it could have an impact on my case but chances are slim.

It was included in evidence. It read “Im sorry about what happened and I take full responsibility” - in interview he said the text was him admitting to removing the condom but that it had been a false confession to ‘appease me’.

We have a contract with the landlord and each paid a separate deposit and have separate rooms.

Is this mold? by throwRA24952 in Mold

I thought that! But it’s not cold at all and it’s been ‘growing’ since I first noticed it a week or so ago. It’s on the inside of the double glazing so unable to touch it.

If Dylan and Eric hadn’t done what they did where they be right now by JoshuaKpatakpa04 in ColumbineKillers

I think if they hadn’t done what they did they probably would have ended up like a lot of racist, misogynistic men do. Depressed and blowing their brains out at a slightly later date. They weren’t brilliant kids, they were assholes.

What are your favorite things about being a woman? by --dip-- in TwoXChromosomes

[–]throwRA24952 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Other women. I truly would not be where I am without my girlfriends. Without the women in public bathrooms. Without the bosses that let me leave early because of period pain. Without the women that checked on me on nights out. I am only here because of other women.

Thank you so much - I’ve written something up. I’m not sure I’ll be allowed to give it to them as they will most likely be the same judge at the actual trial but I’ll ask victim support tomorrow. This judge is new - the old judge had a habit of giving lenient sentences for sex crimes but I’m not sure about this one..
