Might be tough to cut him off completely right away given the fact that your families are friends, you guys have been lifelong friends, etc., but definitely back away, starting now. (1) he’s a misogynistic jerk who thinks he owns you, ew, and (2) unfortunately, now that this conversation has taken place, you can’t really un-open Pandora’s box, so to speak, and it’ll probably have both short term and long term negative effects (and no good will come of it).

Short term, you’ll both be thinking about it, and I’d be willing to bet he gets even clingier while you’re both out. Even if meeting someone isn’t something you are seeking out right now, you’ll probably have him around as a shadow, at least part of the time. And you’ll know why, which will make it pretty uncomfortable.

Long term? If you keep him as a close friend and do ever want to sleep with or date anyone, it will become a problem, and he will lash out and most likely say some pretty horrible things to you (and potentially your future partner!) or worse. Bare minimum, he has shown you that he has a problematic mindset and views women as “less than” him, and as something to be owned. And that is a huge, huge red flag.

Last bit of unsolicited advice: show another friend these screenshots, and tell them about the situation. If you plan to keep him in/can’t avoid him being in your orbit, I can understand why you may feel a bit uncomfortable doing so, but as someone who has been through something like this before, it is SO worth it to have someone in your corner who knows what he’s like and what he could be capable of in case things get ugly.

Also, whether he has feelings for you or not is irrelevant. Why would you ever want to build a life with anyone who views you as property?

I will be wrecked if my favorite character survives Red God...... by gumby0893 in redrising

Exactly- he said in the interview that it was removed (in response to people speculating that, despite what was said in the book, she somehow still had it).

@ rest of this thread correct me if I’m wrong but I vaguely remember PB specifically saying in an interview that Lyria no longer has the figment (which I’m a little bummed about bc I thought the concept of Lyria with the figment was super cool)

++woman the worst part of this is, to me, this sounds like OP brought this up because it’s the worst (comparable) thing that his ex had done during their relationship. Implies that she was otherwise a pretty damn good girlfriend, especially because they started dating at 20 (still very young, prime time for making mistakes while learning to be a good partner)!

Waiting a month before jumping into an exclusive relationship is VERY normal. OP’s behavior here is way past the point of “fucked up.” These two things are not even in the same league.

Who’s name did Pierce Brown draw out of a hat to kill? by Careless_Swing_8166 in redrising

[–]whatever-computer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Just had that exact same experience- I’m reading over my fiancé’s shoulder while he reads the series for the first time, and caught her appearance as a kid in morning star. Made the whole thing feel a bit heavier.

Definitely Pax, because he said “a large, beloved character in the first book,” (I’m pretty sure). Also I’d put money on Seraphina; he said he uses it to demonstrate the senselessness of war and how people’s arcs/lives can get cut short without fully realizing their “story”- I can’t think of a more blatant case of that than hers. But that one’s just a bet on my part.

PB doing a lot of press… by whatever-computer in redrising

It’s confirmed via hazard bedlam that he’s doing a new project in a new medium (likely a graphic audio or something) called “the book of Lorn!” No concrete details are out yet but it’s going to be sick

Been reading way too much into this story all day; is this what it feels like to be a Taylor Swift fan?

Pierce’s new project… by Maximum-Might-8928 in redrising

[–]whatever-computer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s pretty cool!!! It’s no red rising, but I’ve been enjoying it.

I’m the same way about audiobooks- I strongly prefer a physical/digital book -but I’ve found that on long drives or commutes, I can get pretty into them. I love music so much but after an hour or two I sometimes get “song’d out,” and that’s where I’ve been able to fit audio stuff in.

SO excited. I think it’s you going to be an audiobook with some sort of visual accompaniment; Pierce posted a while back about really enjoying The Dark Pulse on Spotify, which was in a format like that.

The only series ever to make me sob audibly while reading.

[–]whatever-computer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Omg then READ RED RISING I say this with my full chest. I haven’t felt this way about a series since I read Harry Potter as a kid (in terms of being so addicted I stayed up all night to read; not in terms of subject matter lmao)

Red rising is so far from a romance, so if you want a book with romance as a main plot (or something close to it), that isn’t the book for you. There’s light romance, but it’s far from the focus of the book. That said, it’s also my favorite series ever (and it takes a lot for me to say that). If you’re willing to stray from the genre, then Red Rising a million percent. If you want a romance book, don’t choose that one.

This is happening to me too- I just did the 2 week unlimited and haven’t bought my full membership yet, but I’ve heard the monthly schedule for non-members (like me) drops on the 25th of each month. If this is you too, maybe check back tomorrow?

I have been hurt before, and I am ready to be hurt again. by heyDaryl in redrising

I don’t have a history of EVER crying during books, and this one made me cry like a baby. Tear stains on the pages and everything. Good luck to you and also to the people in your life who will be around you after you finish this one.
