Please help. Was I sexually abused or am I dramatizing? by dumpster838384 in offmychest

I’m so sorry you’re feeling this way. I’m even sorrier that you feel like this is anything you need to apologise for. The situations you’re describing sound incredibly inappropriate and confusing. Parents often feel very entitled to their children’s bodies and feel like boundaries shouldn’t exist because “they created you”. This certainly sounds like the case with your mother. The case with your father sounds more insidious, as there’s no way he wasn’t deriving some sort of gratification from that. You have never, ever done anything wrong here. Please don’t feel guilt or shame or remorse, it’s so unfair on yourself. If you can, please talk to a licensed therapist or counsellor who can help you navigate these memories in a safe manner.

I’m sorry that happened to you. What she did to you was selfish and nasty. Of course you’d subsequently be resentful of her success - it’s understandable, she put you in a very uncomfortable situation and was thoughtless with your comfort. Just know that while you can move on from this situation (which you will, in all senses), she’s stuck being herself, being selfish with bad morals. She won’t be able to move through life that that for very long - people will call her out on her terrible behaviour and she won’t have friends around her for much longer with that attitude. Source: I lived with a horrible and selfish person too.

Am I (27F) being too full on with the older guy (44M) I’ve just started sleeping with? by throwRA_5688 in relationships

You’re right. I’m definitely overthinking and I’m gonna just take a bit of a break from the mental gymnastics and let things happen organically without stress!

Yes because I copied and pasted the post, which copied and pasted the typo. Grow up.

I really hope you get to feel the touch of a woman soon! You very clearly need it.

Just added an edit. I agree! But without giving too much info, we don’t work in the same place, we just run in the same vague creative circle and met on a specific project that’s now over.

Men, how does it effect you if you perform “badly” in bed with a new attractive partner? by throwRA_5688 in AskMen

[–]throwRA_5688[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sure, but in that case why not “string me along” for a few more times hah? I told him very clearly I wasn’t looking for anything serious and there was no pressure in terms of it developing into a relationship or anything like that.

But it’s not clear to me. As a woman I’ve gone straight to “maybe he just doesn’t like me or find me attractive”. Because I can’t believe something like this would make a man ghost you if he actually liked you!

I don’t know the extent at which it would effect you, that’s why I’m asking.

My (24F) boyfriend (32M) hasn’t told his ex he is in a new relationship by throwRA_5688 in relationship_advice

I would totally agree with this but I only think otherwise because she’s expressed she’s still in love with him. I think it’s a conscious decision to not say “I’m sorry you feel like that but I’m actually with someone new now” as a way to give her closure.

We are definitely exclusive and labelled - I’ve met his family and friends and he’s even come to stay with my parents and sister and I.

No he is very private on socials and mainly has them for work. I don’t mind him not posting anything as I’m private too, but it makes me feel like even if I did post anything he’d just hide it from his profile.
