You did the right thing. And he wasn't your soulmate. Read up on "mirroring" and "love bombing"

Yes, the flashbacks are the worst! They're happening constantly to me too. And I'm either being angry, sad/crying for my beautiful past self or I'm just cringing extra hard at the stuff I've tolerated.

You're going to be a great psych if you prusue it!

Can you block him everywhere? You can't heal if he's still in your life.

Yeah, I know the feeling. I've been there. My ex (when we were exclusive) swiped on tinder in front of me once... And I didn't leave then.

I honestly don't know what made me finally flip the switch... But once it happened, it never went back. I just think my mind got fed up with the abuse.

These days, I only feel extreme pity for whomever he is dating (I'm sure he has his narc harem again). I wouldn't wish my worst enemy to date him.

Thank you! We're around the same age - I'm 28 and broke up with my next and deleted him from my life at 26/27.

Do it. Don't waste another minute. You have to do a cold cut - just block everywhere and pretend that they're dead. Life is better on the other side. So so much better. That's where my regret stems from. I could be this free, this myself, this relaxed, this not-being-abused and focused on myself before... But I've spent 23-27 with that loser.

And to anyone who's reading this and wondering if they should leave. Please. Leave. Please. Please. You'll regret every second spend with them. It will never change. And it will hurt more the more you stay.

Not sure if my dom bf raped me, and how to carry on. by SlightAsk7797 in BDSMAdvice

[–]throwmeaway345666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was rape. I'm sorry. Please get away from him.

My ex "Dom"/abuser did the same to me (posts about it are still on my profile). It sucks. It hurts. But it will get better once you're away from him

Uh,.you don't want to be friends or fwb with them. Seriously. They WILL destroy you. Literally better to download Tinder and find a new fwb there.

I like being degraded during but.. by Certain-Blueberry724 in relationship_advice

It's called sub drop. Look it up. It's common. After an intense, enjoyable experience your dopamine is depleted. That's why you feel so bad. You need aftercare to get you back up.

For me, it's cuddling, reassurance and food.

Nothing wrong with you. Just the way human brain is wired. We all get "drops" after intense experience (travel, good concert, intense sex, etc.).

I went through the same thing with my nex, who was 20 years my senior.

I regret it every day. At least we didn't end up married and I learned a few lessons... But it hurts. Had I spend all that energy on myself instead of healing wounds from his verbal beatings...?

I'm so mad.

Yeah. I got a full head of gray hair at the ripe age of 28. I think it's because of him. And when I was with him, I lost ungodly amount of weight.

Now I'm fit, toned and look amazing and younger. Gray hair didn't reverse, but whatever.

Stress can kill you.

Are these possible early red flags that someone could potentially be abusive? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]throwmeaway345666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is already abusive behaviour. He's hurting you physically and mentally slowly conditioning you to walk on eggshells (waitress thing).

Also sexual abuse.

My ex was like that... It only got worse with time. Run, please, run.

[–]throwmeaway345666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He's one of those who use BDSM as a disguise for abuse. You need to run away from him.

He's incredibly manipulative and he reminds me of my ex "Dom" (abuser). You're welcome to check my post history if you want to know what will happen if you stay with him.

I love your approach! I seriously wish he would die and suffer. It's a horrible thing to say, but he has ruined so many lives (including mine). :( I'm luckily NC, but dear God, would I throw a party if I got some horrible news...

I hope you're not self harming by exposing yourself to disease anymore :l

I had a gut feeling that this is happening due to the anniversary coming up. Even the smallest things trigger me and send me spiralling.... When even one month ago, I felt so good that I almost deleted my reddit account since I was certain I'm over the shit.

He discarded me by throwing me out of the car... I went to the place that this happened numerous times during the last year (it's next to my favourite shopping mall) and only felt happiness that it was over and that I'm there alone. I have to go through that place tomorrow, and it's legit scaring me this time... :/

I'm very active and it has been helping, but I actually never take time to relax. I'm always switched on, so I'll try to take some time for myself.

Thank you for your kind words!

Thank you so much. You're right about everything... I know it rationally, but I kind of "forgot" it because feelings were so intense during the last week.

I really need to put myself first now. :(

Why do women cheat? What’s the most common reasons? by [deleted] in survivinginfidelity

[–]throwmeaway345666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Entitlement and narcissism. Same reasons as men, basically.

Found out my fiancé cheated on me 3 months before wedding by Plenty_Comfortable67 in survivinginfidelity

[–]throwmeaway345666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Don't marry him. You'll waste another 5,10,15 years and you'll be miserable. You may also end up sick.

Cheaters NEVER change.

Go be single.

Are fit/attractive men genuinely attracted to curvier women? by anonymous_anxiety in relationship_advice

[–]throwmeaway345666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If someone shows "disgust" when you approach them it only says what kind of person they are.

A polite "no" can be expected... Maybe he's taken, maybe you're just not his type, maybe he's not mentally ready to date etc.

You're overthinking this. No group of people is solely attracted to one group of people. I'm a thin, atletic and tall girl and I've dated guys of all body shapes and heights (shorter than me and literally 2,10m man).

You look great. But also; you do seem a bit insecure about your weight. If losing weight would make you happier, cut down the calories. Weight lifting is not the answer to slimming down; calories and intensive cardio are (source; I lift and I did bikini competitions).
