2024.05.16 12:07 inperpetualneed Need advice.
My partner 34M and I 31F have known each other for almost 11 years, together for most of it. It started off toxic because of me (compulsive liar, lover of alcohol, low self esteem, manipulative, attention seeking, discarding after he break up with me over my behaviours) these behaviours led to me going back to an ex when we broke up and when we reconciled I kept it a secret till I couldn't. It crippled our relationship but as the years went on I committed to proving myself and we share 3 children. We've been really good, friendly,.communicative, developing a safer space. he recently Invited me to join him on his work trip or has been 5 years since our last vaca which wasn't exactly the best memory due to my immaturity but I've learned. I'm excited but I've felt myself I comfortable with things I've done like Speaking to his friend about my side of our problems which he was aware of but I over shared..i mustered up courage to tell him 2 days ago and he thanked me for telling me and said let's not do that anymore. But after doing so more came up to my memory, this one that bothers me is that I've looked at his phone a few times. I want to tell him because it's bothering me but I also know he's gonna get very upset and I'm sad at all the progress we made is gonna be gone once I tell him. It took some time to get to this place finally. I did this to a very extreme level and loved out of our home as a result but he was very much upset at the breaking privacy part. This time I just looked at his notifications, quickly glanced at his last pages open and one time his convo was open just looked at the last short responses he sent which made no sense to me as he was probably talking to a coworker. I'm scared to tell it to his face as I lack courage but idk some advice would help. Thank you.
Tldr: toxic relationship with my partner is starting to get healthier, I want to tell him that I looked at his phone a few times. I'm quite scared as hell get pissed We have a trip planned that can be cancelled in 8 hours from now so I'd like to tell him what I've done before the window for trip cancellation but also scared. Need advice on doing this.

2024.05.16 12:07 Caramel_blondeTee AITAH for falling for the man my partner nudged me to
Tried my best to cut it short 🙏🏼 I(f25) met, and was then soon after courted by a sophisticated man who turned out to be a big deal in my country and was at the height of his honor as his establishment was having a big national launch at that particular time.I knew non of this at the time. We’ll call him John. So John inevitably got my number since my company was largely responsible for supplying his establishment and I was thrown headfirst into handling our business with them. And really it took no more than 2 conversations for him to make his interest known. And like any other loyal girlfriend, I let my partneboyfriend(m25) of 7 yrs, call him Chris, know of John’s advances to which he, Chris gave me ‘permission’ to keep talking to John as that’s all it was at the time; business talk with random flirtations on his side and Chris was almost always part of the conversations from my side(John wasn’t aware of Chris at the time).. We, Chris and I would respond to John’s messages together and sometimes even have a giggle over his corniness… And don’t y’all judge Chris, he allowed this to happen because he was/is fully secure in our relationship and trusts that my heart is his, and that I would never leave him with anyone else. Which truly is the case even now.However, eventually, the conversations became just mine and John’s alone. We had so much in common and he really was the kind of man I had envisioned myself ending up with. We talked every day and sometimes till late night, and Chris would watch me smiling while texting. Then the inevitable happened, we fell for each other. HARD
It was two weeks in and since we’d only ever seen each other in a work setting, John and I had been discussing how nice it would be to see each other outside of work. It didn’t take long and as fate would have it(we are both believers in fate), the perfect scenario for us to finally meet, arose that same weekend. I felt like I had known this man for years at this point, so I wasn’t even big excited, I was just moderately looking forward to seeing him as if again… That feeling didn’t last for too long, because as soon as he arrived at the agreed meeting spot and got out of his car, a white luxury car, wearing a black top my weakness when worn by a man.
I had not noticed this about him before, since I had only seen him in his work overalls, but he was quite buff man with a very delectable height, and he looked like he had waited all his life to see me and the way he pulled me in for a hug proved just as much. We spend some time(though barely) together that night, drinks and conversations flowing. If I wasn’t sure before, then, after that night, I knew for a fact I was in love with John. And no, nothing happened further than just some lip locking, he was a real gentleman and I consider myself to be a lady of standard. But like all good things this too had to come to an abrupt end when I finally came to, and realized it was the early AMs and my partner and our child had been waiting for me to return home (over 30 missed calls and messages from my partner and sister, as this was very unlike me). To say, Chris was very upset by the time I was dropped off from the night is an understatement and from the texts on my phone he quickly gathered where and with whom I was.
An argument ensued and Chris gave me an ultimatum- it was either him and the life he had together or John. Of course I chose Chris and I really wish it had been that simple, but I also had undoubtable connection and feelings for John.
And here lies my problem. To that point, John and I had never really figured out what exactly was going on between us. However , we were both mildly, infuriated at the sudden surge of feelings we had towards each other, both being parents of one, cohabiting with our partners whom we were fully committed to. I hate to be long-winded, so let me know if I should make another post with a conclusion/update?

2024.05.16 12:03 samochips Finally found someone that I really liked and then she ended it.
I'm a 28-year-old man who moved to a new city three years ago, ending my relationship with my long-term girlfriend. I've been dating frequently since then, initially casually, but more recently with the intention of finding a lasting relationship. I've been on dates with around 60 different women, most of them only once, and some for 5+ dates, but not many have sparked my interest enough to pursue further.
-LONG POST- A few weeks ago, I reinstalled Tinder and matched with a woman (A) of the same age. Her profile was managed by her best friend (B) as she couldn't be bothered. B and I chatted briefly before A took over. We discovered that we were going to the same club that weekend, so we decided to meet there. Both A and B are hilarious and we talk for maybe an hour or so outside. One of the things we talk about is dating and she tells me she came out of a 7 year long relationship last summer and has only been on 3 dates since, one of them which ended up being catastrophic but a fun story. I also met some more of A's friends who seemed to approve of me as they’d seen my profile too, they told me that they hoped they’d see me again. We all say goodbye and me and A keep talking through Tinder. Everything feels great and her friends have already met and veto:ed me! Next week me and B finally meet one-on-one and holy shit, everything feels so extremely natural. She’s funny, empathetic and easy-going. Coming from my own dating experiences I realized quite quickly that this is something special, I’d never felt things going this well before as she was so easy to talk to. Apparently she had turned 29 the day before. We grabbed some beers at different bars until late evening where we walked back to the metro. On the way we stopped at a viewing point with an amazing night view of the city and kissed for a bit there. I told her I had a really nice feeling about her and she said likewise. I had a smile on my face going back home. After saying goodbye I messaged her on Tinder and asked for her number which she was happy to give me and we continued on the convo there.
We had been talking clothes/fashion shortly during the first date and she asked me couple of days later if we were going to do the shopping date as a next date to which I responded “Sure! If you think that sounds fun. Or I could cook you some food?” to which she said something like “Yes let’s do it! Let’s save the dinner at home for another time, although it sounds amazing!”. We scheduled for Friday the same week and we kept talking throughout the whole week through text with good banter.
Friday comes and we meet up for some shopping. I had gotten her a nicer chocolate as a late birthday gift, something inexpensive but thoughtful. She loved it. We go to several stores and also a sports store as she needed to look at some cycling gear. It felt like we were really good friends and that we had known each other for longer that we actually had. After an hour or two she wanted to grab a beer as she was exhausted and I suggested a nearby bar but we ended up going to my office since it has a nice terrace to enjoy the sunset at. I grabbed us couple of beers and we just sat the rest of the evening talking about everything, getting to know each other further. At one point, she facetimed B and we all talked a bit. I asked B jokingly “When am I going to be seeing you again?” to which A asked me “What are you doing tomorrow? I’m hosting a late birthday celebration”. I responded that I was going to a dinner with a friend but then no further plans. She said “Let’s talk tomorrow and see”. Later during the evening we both opened up a bit more. She works as a nurse and did that during Covid and talked about the first time she saw people die and how hard it was on her. I felt like she was very comfortable sharing her thoughts, but that might've been because that's what she's used to in her earlier relationship? We kissed a lot too during the evening, which she seem to enjoy and also initiate. we even fondled each other a bit but it didn’t go further than that since we weren’t at home. I pointed out when we were talking that I felt it was nice that she was talking in a way that implicitly meant that she thought we were going to continue seeing each other. And she responded with that I do it too. At last, she said she was tired and we decided to call it quits and kissed goodbye.
Come Saturday, we text a bit and I ask her during the evening how the party’s going. She responds an hour later that she didn’t have her phone and she’s been busy but everything’s going great and she asks how we’re doing. I respond and also ask her if me and my friend could maybe come over? Another late respond and she tells us that tonight might not be a good time, wishing me a good night. A bit bummed but i realized it might’ve been early for me to join in on a party like that with her close friends even though I met most of them already at the club we met at.
Sunday and we text sporadically about our day, I ask her on Monday if she’d like to take a picnic in the sun after work on Wednesday and she responds that “She’s been thinking during the weekend and feels like she’s not emotionally ready to keep seeing me. Which sucks because I’m great in so many ways but she wanted to say it early to not drag me along.”
I was a bit surprised and saddened by this, but also confused. My female friends suggested that perhaps things were moving too fast and that my openness about my feelings might have scared her away. Like f.e me saying things like “I have a good feeling about you.”, “It feels like we’ve known each other for longer than we actually have” and generally formulating sentences in a way that indicates that I want to keep seeing her. I thought I was paying her compliments and showing my seriousness towards her. It’s hard for me to not overanalyze the final date, if it was something that I said or did (or did not do), but I know that doesn’t really help me. In hindsight, I probably liked her more (and showed that) than she did me, even though she liked my company.
I talked to my therapist briefly about it and she kind of confirmed my suspicions but also told me that she probably has a totally different reference frame when it comes to dating and that she might’ve gotten scared as she has barely seen what options are out there. She didn’t think it was impossible that A might reach out to me but advised me to lay low for a month or two and maybe then shoot her a text and ask how she’s doing in an attempt to rekindle things maybe.
What are your thoughts about all of this?

2024.05.16 11:53 7in7 How can I support my partner with trauma while I'm heavily pregnant
My partner has suffered from anxiety since before I met him. When we met, he realised it was anxiety (not chronic pain) and he started psychotherapy. It really helped and we got married and quickly got pregnant, as we both wanted.
Come second trimester, and he basically lost it completely. He's not sleeping, he's in pain, he's throwing up constantly.
He's going to therapy twice a week, and started seeing a psychiatrist as well and getting intense medical treatment. I say intense because most people I know get a small dose of SSRIs to start with and it's normally enough to get them stable. He has a bunch of different pills, the psychiatrist keeps upping the dosage and took him off SSRIs.
He's not responding to the pills, although he is occasionally able to sleep.
The thing is, I really need support right now. I'm late in my pregnancy, I'm also hormonal, I want to prepare for labour, for parenting etc.
But he - he's terrified of being his father, who he loved, but died several years ago before they could resolve why he used to take out aggression and anger physically and mentally on his sons.
My husband isnt aggressive or often angry, although lately when I trigger him he is very angry and hurt and says the worst things to me.
He's terrified of being his mother, he still wishes she would parent him instead of looking to him as a replacement partner at best, or parent at worst. He feels the loss of his father through the unmet expectations from his mother.
He's been care-giver to his grandparents before they died, and he tends to feel full responsibility even when it is shared.
He's crumbling, yet he's supportive in a lot of things. He cooks and makes me eat, he's often there to hear my struggles and pains.
But a lot of the time I feel like I need to be the strong one. That he's "got it worse". Which is true, but I have my own hangups about becoming a mother, about labour, about the big life changes.
I'm also lugging around this baby, and every emotion and chemical response in my body is transferred to him. I feel guilty for crying for hurting and for fighting with my partner - when my partner is hurtful and I'm suffering, I wish I could extract the baby from inside me because I don't feel like I'm the safe haven I should be.
I end up going alone to prenatal classes. Sitting between all the couples and having no one to perform the exercises with. And when I tell him how hard it is for me, I'm triggering his anxiety. I'm not allowing him to get better. I'm the worst thing for him right now.
I feel like I'm being really strong, but it isn't good enough. Sometimes I slip up, I talk about subjects he can't deal with, I get upset when he needs space. I've even lost my patience for hearing his pain and felt a lack of sympathy. I feel like I'm supportive 90% of the time.
He feels that I'm demanding, useless and that 100% of the time when he reaches his limit, I don't respect him and I cause him more pain.
Above all this I love him so much, I really believe in him and I KNOW he'll be a fantastic father. I want him better, mostly because it's terrible how much he is suffering, but also selfishly, so that we can focus on me and the baby, being pregnant, preparing for labour and post partem and becoming parents.
His pain is always worse than mine, his feeling are more extreme than the impact my hormones have, his sleep more interrupted than mine. His inability to show up at work affected by mine, so when I WFH and have meetings , they trigger his feelings of inadequacy.
Whenever I'm on the phone with a family member I have to hang up, because he is having a panic attack, or throwing up or just doesn't want to hear my "stupid familys drama".
I know it sounds like I'm bitching, but I just want to hear if anyone else here has gone through what I'm going through.
There is a sub reddit for partner depression, but it's not quite the same as this trauma that's being dug up. He's not depressed, and it's not about becoming or being a parent.
Did anyone else experience this before children? Might it get better? Will it get worse?

2024.05.16 11:51 Select-Farm7996 Please help me choose between Xperia and pixel
I am looking to buy a phone with a budget under 350$.
I have been wanting an Xperia for some time now primarily because I am a filmmaker myself and work a lot with Sony cameras. The only Sony Xperia I have available locally is the Xperia 1 mark 3 that comes from Japan. Docomo variant.
My research so far has led me to understand that the Xperia has almost no software support from Sony, the battery is underwhelming, the fingerprint scanner dies and that it heats up. But at the same time I love how it's designed and how the camera is, even though the camera results aren't at par with something like the pixel but the flexibility it gives me as a shooter is something I really love.
The other phone I have come across while searching the market is a pixel 6 pro or a pixel 7. The pros of the pixel for me are the stock android experience and the fact that they give software support for upto 5 years.
The final thing I'd like to add is that I have to pay a tax on both phones. The tax on Xperia is 15$ The tax on the pixel is 250$ (don't ask my why)
I'd finally like to add that I mostly use my phone for consuming content online. I rarely use it for gaming.
So the Xperia is in my budget and the pixel isn't. I can buy the pixel and pay it's tax over a span of few months. But would it be worth it? Or would I regret buying an overpowered phone with no software support?
Sorry for the long post.

My research so far has led me to understand that the Xperia has almost no software support from Sony, the battery is underwhelming, the fingerprint scanner dies and that it heats up. But at the same time I love how it's designed and how the camera is, even though the camera results aren't at par with something like the pixel but the flexibility it gives me as a shooter is something I really love.
The other phone I have come across while searching the market is a pixel 6 pro or a pixel 7. The pros of the pixel for me are the stock android experience and the fact that they give software support for upto 5 years.
The final thing I'd like to add is that I have to pay a tax on both phones. The tax on Xperia is 15$ The tax on the pixel is 250$ (don't ask my why)
I'd finally like to add that I mostly use my phone for consuming content online. I rarely use it for gaming.
So the Xperia is in my budget and the pixel isn't. I can buy the pixel and pay it's tax over a span of few months. But would it be worth it? Or would I regret buying an overpowered phone with no software support?
Sorry for the long post.

So almost 3 months ago, I had an anonymous Instagram account. Feeling desperate for love, I started commenting under posts, that I need someone to talk. One account (girl) replied to me. Had a little chat followed by sexchat. I thought it was just a one time thing. Got her text next day and we started chatting normally and flirting over next 3-4 days. Got to know that we belong to same caste. We started dating, exchanged photos and videos and eventually found each other compatible to each other. Some of you may think it could be a guy but I made sure that wasn't the case. Exchanged phone numbers also and used to talk for 3-4 hours a day on call. Experienced my first love and we were already thinking about our marriage.
But, how could everything go so smoothly? On Holi, she was having severe headache and went to doctor. Listening to symptoms, doctor said she has 95% chance of brain tumor. She told me this after 2 days. We both were shocked and she was almost broken from inside. Reports confirmed she had last stage of brain tumor and only few months left. Thinking about my future, she told me to break up, but I resisted saying I will be with her till the very last moment. We had disagreements over this, she started ignoring me so I get convinced to break up but I stayed with her. On 8th April, she got hospitalised and stayed there for about 4-5 days. I wasn't sure if I will talk to her again or not. For context, she lost her parents about 5 years back in a car accident. She only have her elder sister and her fiance in her family, and she was the one who kept updating me about her situation, through her phone only. During her stay in hospital, this condition really got her bad. She started forgetting stuffs but she remembered me. She came back home on 13th April. I really wanted to go meet her in her city but couldn't go due to some circumstances.
This wasn't the only problem she was dealing with. Another huge problem was her ex boyfriend. They both broke up about 1.5 years ago and it was his wish. She begged for her to stay but he left. I got to know from her cousin firstly and then from her, that her ex used to abuse her physically even during their relationship and even after that. And the most shocking part was she didn't even told her sister about that. My blood was boiling on hearing that but I couldn't do anything and felt so helpless. Eventually, I told her sister about this but this kept happening even after this. She tried to protect her but her ex found a way to still hurt her. Finally, I convinced her to talk about this to her sister and she talked but still they took no action. Then, one day she went to her ex's sister's function even after I told her not to, but she still did cuz she was invited. And the worst thing happened. He raped her there. She was broken inside. I was hurt too. In that moment of anger, I broke up immediately, but soon realised I shouldn't have done that and I was the only one she trusted. Told her we are not done yet and I am here for you. I don't want to remember that event but this really boiled my blood. She told her sister and finally they went to his home and told their family. He was beaten finally but that mf deserved much worse. Their family were apologising so they didn't took any legal action. Even after going through all this, she still talks normally.
Two days back, her sister told me to break up with her and it would be better for both. I couldn't understand how it would be better for her. I know she won't be able to live without me and hence, I didn't want to do. She said she wanted her sister to live this phase alone which is her best phase. She told if we won't do if ourselves, she will interfere and everyone will get hurt. Hearing all these, I decided to break up but still stay as a friend whom she can confide. For context, we broke up twice before but cuz of having short term memory loss, she forgot and I knowing her condition so convinced myself to be in relationship. I never had any problem to be with her. So we broke up that night. She got too sad, even I got. but we handled ourselves. But the next day her sister with her fiance went to goa leaving her alone at home. I don't know what she thinks and she even care about her or not. She don't feel like sleeping at night so I used to talk regularly so she don't feel alone and even talked yesterday. I don't know if she remember about our break up or not.
I feel like this incident will stay always with me and I don't know what will happen. Kitni bhi ziddi ho yrr but hai to my first love. I badly want her to stay forever. I want to marry her and give her all the love she deserves. I want her to be happy always. I want to feed her food from my own hands. I want to care for her. I want to make her sleep when she have headaches. I want to hug her, kiss her forehead. I just want to be with her forever. I LOVE HERR. I would have fought with the whole world for her, but this cancer and distance really fucked us😭😭

2024.05.16 11:48 tellietubbies_444 carson, bakit mo ako hinila sa patibong???
stated sa title, isa din akong tao na matagal nang mahal ang best friend niya. (close friend lang pala) 6 years na, naks malapit nang maka-tie yung pitong taon ni carson 🥰
little backstory: (let's call him j)
J was just an acquaintance at first, a friend of a friend. we met when we were in senior high school, fresh from break up ako noon from my biggest nightmare of an ex, iba kami ng school pero classmates niya childhood friends ko, kaya ayon naging close din kami. we meet up every fiesta dito samin, yes every fiesta lang kasi hindi ako pinapayagan gumala. we message every day tapos we do phone call every night. then, biglang hindi na niya ako kinausap, nalaman ko he was dating one of my closest friends. ayon, natigil. for more than a year, J and i didn't talk with each other. i had a little crush on him that time na talaga but i pushed that attraction away kasi nga syota niya isa sa mga kaibigan ko.
one day he reached out to me, begging me to help him reconcile with my friend kasi blinock siya, they broke up. he was in shambles that time, he did everything for her. as a concerned friend kinausap ko din yung kaibigan ko about him, ayaw na niya talaga. wala naman ako magagawa, he confided on me. and foolish din ako to help him, siya yung tipo na gagawin niyang mundo yung syota niya kaya he was friendless. i made urged him to go back skate boarding, play basketball and coninue playing ML kasi he enjoyed those things pero pinagbawalan siya ng kaibigan ko. i made him slowly reconcile with our friends, i help him sa school works niya kahit wala akong alam sa I.T hahahaha. i brought him food sa campus nila kahit na 1hr away siya from my place. he's funny, gentle, may depth and masipag, he'd usually tuck my hair behind my ear, pill shrimp for me, tie my schoelaces, punas pawis, its the littlest of things talaga. ewan, after a year of those things, he asked permission to court me pero ni-reject ko siya kahit hulog na ako kasi ex siya ng kaibigan ko.
don't get me wrong, my friend and him both confided in me when the break up happened, siguro kasi nurturer talaga akong type of person hahahaha kahit ako napapagod noon sa gitna nila hinayaan ko lang kasi break ups are hard. (tanga moments)
tapos after a few months he courted me again, hindi na siya nagpaalam kasi sabi niya he'll court me whether i say yes or no kasi he wants to prove himself. pero i was adamant na ayaw ko. kahit umiiyak ako everytime he told me he likes me, everytime i rejected him, my heart bleeds out for us. wala akong magawa but to say no dahil nirerespeto ko yung kaibigan ko. tapos nalaman ko pa na sinabihan niya si J na to never talk to me kasi iba daw ugali ko. i was hurt, kasi naiipit ako sa sitwasyon na hindi ko naman ginusto pero alam ko na pinili ko. after that rejection naging mailap na siya, sabi niya he needed space to cope with the heartbreak. hanggang sa ilang buwan na kaming hindi nagkausap kasi iniiwasan niya ako. tapos ayon, nalaman ko may girlfriend na siya. no apologies, i understand naman kasi he didn't owe me one. so i acted like nothing happened, we remained good friends. we still talk, we still hangout, we're still confidants of each other.
yesterday was his and his girl's 3 year anniversary. i congratulated him.
I'm a hypocrite, lagi ko sinasabi na reason ay dahil sa trauma ko sa last ex ko, o kaya naman ay hindi pa ako ready, o kaya naman ay i enjoy being single. pero ang totoo mahal ko parin siya. i still think of him whenever i eat kwek-kwek, remember his face when i listen to the songs he used to play on his guitar, i remember him from every laugh that i let out. he's everywhere from the very nook and crannies of my heart. mahal na mahal ko siya.
i don't cling to this love because of what ifs and the idea of him, but i love just love him. hindi ko wini-wish na maghiwalay sila ng jowa niya because nakikita ko naman na mahal niya yung tao. i can see the way his eyes lit up sa tuwing napag-uusapan o nababanggit niya yung pangalan ng mahal niya. i hope he knows he's loved, unknowingly. ayon lang shuta napahaba na, iiyakan ko nanaman 'to mamaya.

She don't feel like sleeping at night so I used to talk regularly so she don't feel alone and even talked yesterday. I don't know if she remember about our break up or not.
I feel like this incident will stay always with me and I don't know what will happen. Kitni bhi ziddi ho yrr but hai to my first love. I badly want her to stay forever. I want to marry her and give her all the love she deserves. I want her to be happy always. I want to feed her food from my own hands. I want to care for her. I want to make her sleep when she have headaches. I want to hug her, kiss her forehead. I just want to be with her forever. I LOVE HERR. I would have fought with the whole world for her, but this cancer and distance really fucked us😭😭

But, how could everything go so smoothly? On Holi, she was having severe headache and went to doctor. Listening to symptoms, doctor said she has 95% chance of brain tumor. She told me this after 2 days. We both were shocked and she was almost broken from inside. Reports confirmed she had last stage of brain tumor and only few months left. Thinking about my future, she told me to break up, but I resisted saying I will be with her till the very last moment. We had disagreements over this, she started ignoring me so I get convinced to break up but I stayed with her. On 8th April, she got hospitalised and stayed there for about 4-5 days. I wasn't sure if I will talk to her again or not. For context, she lost her parents about 5 years back in a car accident. She only have her elder sister and her fiance in her family, and she was the one who kept updating me about her situation, through her phone only. During her stay in hospital, this condition really got her bad. She started forgetting stuffs but she remembered me. She came back home on 13th April. I really wanted to go meet her in her city but couldn't go due to some circumstances.
This wasn't the only problem she was dealing with. Another huge problem was her ex boyfriend. They both broke up about 1.5 years ago and it was his wish. She begged for her to stay but he left. I got to know from her cousin firstly and then from her, that her ex used to abuse her physically even during their relationship and even after that. And the most shocking part was she didn't even told her sister about that. My blood was boiling on hearing that but I couldn't do anything and felt so helpless. Eventually, I told her sister about this but this kept happening even after this. She tried to protect her but her ex found a way to still hurt her. Finally, I convinced her to talk about this to her sister and she talked but still they took no action. Then, one day she went to her ex's sister's function even after I told her not to, but she still did cuz she was invited. And the worst thing happened. He raped her there. She was broken inside. I was hurt too. In that moment of anger, I broke up immediately, but soon realised I shouldn't have done that and I was the only one she trusted. Told her we are not done yet and I am here for you. I don't want to remember that event but this really boiled my blood. She told her sister and finally they went to his home and told their family. He was beaten finally but that mf deserved much worse. Their family were apologising so they didn't took any legal action. Even after going through all this, she still talks normally.
Two days back, her sister told me to break up with her and it would be better for both. I couldn't understand how it would be better for her. I know she won't be able to live without me and hence, I didn't want to do. She said she wanted her sister to live this phase alone which is her best phase. She told if we won't do if ourselves, she will interfere and everyone will get hurt. Hearing all these, I decided to break up but still stay as a friend whom she can confide. For context, we broke up twice before but cuz of having short term memory loss, she forgot and I knowing her condition so convinced myself to be in relationship. I never had any problem to be with her. So we broke up that night. She got too sad, even I got. but we handled ourselves. But the next day her sister with her fiance went to goa leaving her alone at home. I don't know what she thinks and she even care about her or not. She don't feel like sleeping at night so I used to talk regularly so she don't feel alone and even talked yesterday. I don't know if she remember about our break up or not.
I feel like this incident will stay always with me and I don't know what will happen. Kitni bhi ziddi ho yrr but hai to my first love. I badly want her to stay forever. I want to marry her and give her all the love she deserves. I want her to be happy always. I want to feed her food from my own hands. I want to care for her. I want to make her sleep when she have headaches. I want to hug her, kiss her forehead. I just want to be with her forever. I LOVE HERR.

2024.05.16 11:34 Ok-Asparagus-7787 Someone saved my life and I cant tell them
I have a decade+ relationship with depression that I am deciding to end. The title of this post might seem excessive or dramatic, but there is a big difference in saving a life and preventing a death. I recently contacted someone on this platform in an attempt to extend a helping hand. That message would end up being a catalyst for me once I began exchanging friendly banter and learning about the other person's life. The first time we spoke on the phone it was for hours. I got off that phone call, and felt a surge of emotions that felt foreign to me. They were happiness, anticipation, excitement. Unable to control myself, I even texted the other person that it was the first time in memory that I was going to be falling asleep with a smile on my face.
Not everyone falls into despair in similar fashions. I would read through reddit post or hear stories about people with suicidal ideologies, and decide that obviously I wasn't in a bad spot because I didn't share in that struggle. I have been empathetic to those in need, and I confidently think that all of my friends would swear by my loyalty and comforting presence. No, my decent was overshadowed with snarky humor, the bottom of a bottle, and eating away my feelings. Feelings that I wasn't acknowledging which inhibited my ability to attack them. I have been numb to pain and joy for so long that I am not sure when I stopped living a life and became an avatar masquerading as the original me. Momentum was gone, and seemed so far away that I wasn't even reaching for it. I was a shell going through the motions of adult life like a robot, and not like a human.
Upon waking up from that smiling trip into dreamland I had an epiphany that something had to change. I felt a youthful resurgence building in myself that I wanted to hold onto more than anything I have wanted in years. So, I filed for a vacation from work. I signed up for therapy sessions that are way past due, and I sat down with my wonderful mother and best friend to come clean about the status of my mental health. I pity people who don't have support from loved ones, because I can't put into words how relieved I was to find zero judgement and only offers of support.
Why can't I tell them that they saved my life? That is simple. I wouldn't want to burden this beautiful soul with feeling any responsibility for me. If they disappeared right now, and ghosted me to focus on themselves it would still leave me with nothing but gratitude. They didn't convince or coax me into a change. They were kind, and made me remember that life doesn't have to be empty by being genuine. I currently feel alive, and have taken steps to include other's in preserving my newly found momentum. I could never ask, demand, or guilt someone into giving me anything more than my life back.
If you are reading this and any part resonated. Please don't wait for the deus ex machina I experienced to seek help. I wasted so much time, and I hope you don't waste your own.
Sorry for any grammar mistakes. English is my first language, but I'm not perfect.

2024.05.16 11:27 Single_Courage5692 Secretly joined EMT school - Need Advice
I’m in a bit of a bind and could really use some advice. Recently, I secretly joined an EMT school, and I’m loving it. The course runs on weekends—8 hours on Saturdays and 9 hours on Sundays. My goal isn’t to make a career out of being an EMT, but to get certified so I have more job options once I graduate college. The problem is, I’m terrified of my parents, especially my dad, finding out.
Here’s the background: My dad can be very imposing and always tries to impose his opinions on me. We’ve had several family psychologists and psychiatrists tell him he’s in the wrong for the way he treats us, but it doesn’t change anything. Typical narcissist behavior. I knew I wouldn’t be able to find a course that didn’t conflict with my time at home, so I’m running the risk of being asked where I’m going.
Lying isn’t an option for me because if they get suspicious, they will investigate and find out, which would make things infinitely worse. Here are the reasons why I’m so scared of telling them:
Reason 1: My dad grew up poor and worked his way up to financial success. Anything he considers “lower class,” he immediately puts down. For example, my little brother started fixing iPhone screens in high school, and my dad chastised him, calling it a “poor people job.”
Reason 2: My dad takes it personally if I don’t come home for lunch. He sees it as a personal slight, even when I have classes or am hanging out with friends. Recently, he told my other little brother how sad he gets when I don’t come home for lunch, making it all about him.
Reason 3: If you strongly disagree with him, he applies the silent treatment. He once stopped talking to my sister for 6 months over a fight about her boyfriend. He also cut off my little brother (the one who fixed phones) from money, gas, and family outings because he took a gap semester to focus on his business.
I’m terrified of becoming the black sheep of the family. I’ve battled depression before, and I’m scared of falling back into that dark place if my dad reacts badly. If he finds out I’m missing lunch for EMT school, he’ll take it personally, think it’s beneath me, try to force me out of it, and, if I refuse, stop talking to me and cut me off financially and emotionally.
I feel stuck and don’t know what to do. How can I approach this situation without causing a major family conflict or jeopardizing my mental health? Any advice or similar experiences would be greatly appreciated.

2024.05.16 11:24 Dr_Superfluid Which is the Mac you missed out on?
Hey all!
I recently completed my up to date apple ecosystem, including my Mac. I was thinking which other device would I like to add if i didn’t care about money too much.
Funnily enough there are two devices I never had, always loved and to this date get jealous of. These are the 27” 5K iMac and the 12” MacBook. I think that these two were the pinnacle in Apple’s design. Today’s Mac’s are infinitely better and are on top of the their game, while these weren’t on top even during their time. But they were so nice!
Unfortunately, I was broke AF in a developing country during those years (I had to save for more than 6 months to buy a base iPhone 7 haha).
Nowadays my ecosystem is kind of high end (16” M3 Max 64GB, iPhone 14PM, iPad Pro 12.9 M1 with Magic Keyboard, Apple Watch, AirPods) and there isn’t anything that I would like from newer devices I don’t have. (It’s kind of thing for me but I do like my apple devices a lot, it feels like a small way to see everyday that I have actually made something happen. As little of an achievement as it is for many I never thought I would own a top of the range macbook like my M3 Max now!).
I thought of buying a 27” 5K iMac a few months ago to use as a home desktop and monitor for my Mac. Then I figured that it’s very cumbersome to use it as a monitor and can only be done through glitchy 3rd party apps. Then I thought I could buy a more powerful one to actually use, but figured out that to get a late get i7 or i9 with 32GB of RAM is actually quite expensive, despite the performance being that of an M1 machine. Which makes sense since it’s still a gorgeous machine (I like it a lot more than the current iMac) with a display that on its own is worth easily $500. So, I didn’t feel it was worth spending like $700-800 one something that would be a lot slower than my current machine and would be difficult to connect with.
The second device I loved and missed out on was the 12” MacBook. Especially the Rose Gold one (omg I miss this color so much, had it on my first iPhone). I thought about buying one last year as well since they are quite cheap, but didn’t due to 2 reasons. 1) I don’t trust them, so I don’t wont to spend $200 on something that has a very big chance of breaking real soon (butterfly keyboard issues) 2) my iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard outclasses it in every way (except size apparently, with the 12” being significantly smaller and lighter).
So overall I think the time came and past for these devices, and I have no reason to get either.

Nowadays my ecosystem is kind of high end (16” M3 Max 64GB, iPhone 14PM, iPad Pro 12.9 M1 with Magic Keyboard, Apple Watch, AirPods) and there isn’t anything that I would like from newer devices I don’t have. (It’s kind of thing for me but I do like my apple devices a lot, it feels like a small way to see everyday that I have actually made something happen. As little of an achievement as it is for many I never thought I would own a top of the range macbook like my M3 Max now!).
I thought of buying a 27” 5K iMac a few months ago to use as a home desktop and monitor for my Mac. Then I figured that it’s very cumbersome to use it as a monitor and can only be done through glitchy 3rd party apps. Then I thought I could buy a more powerful one to actually use, but figured out that to get a late get i7 or i9 with 32GB of RAM is actually quite expensive, despite the performance being that of an M1 machine. Which makes sense since it’s still a gorgeous machine (I like it a lot more than the current iMac) with a display that on its own is worth easily $500. So, I didn’t feel it was worth spending like $700-800 one something that would be a lot slower than my current machine and would be difficult to connect with.
The second device I loved and missed out on was the 12” MacBook. Especially the Rose Gold one (omg I miss this color so much, had it on my first iPhone). I thought about buying one last year as well since they are quite cheap, but didn’t due to 2 reasons. 1) I don’t trust them, so I don’t wont to spend $200 on something that has a very big chance of breaking real soon (butterfly keyboard issues) 2) my iPad Pro with Magic Keyboard outclasses it in every way (except size apparently, with the 12” being significantly smaller and lighter).
So overall I think the time came and past for these devices, and I have no reason to get either.
2024.05.16 11:24 Writteninsanity Splitting Seconds: Chapter 1 - Blind Dates (The Superpower Soulmates Story)
It candidly sucked being surrounded by constant reminders that you’d lost the genetic lottery. Sure, it was easier than some people thought to get around the world without powers; it wasn’t like the government expected everyone to be a speedster or to be able to fly. Hell, a hundred years ago, nobody even had powers. The infrastructure was there. Life went on.
That said, staying cheery about the hand I’d been dealt was difficult. Enhanced perception was useful for a lot of things, from party tricks to always reading the fine print, but next to flight? Next to teleportation?
I’d gotten hung up on movement powers because I’d taken the bus to the bar, and the only superpower buses had was being late.
I was specifically at the bar for the sake of a blind date set up by my best friend; Todd was about two times my size and could throw a car across the street. His powers did nothing to help me with his current obsession with my dating life, but here we were. I supposed it was a fair obsession. I hadn’t been trying.
It honestly made sense that Todd had been keenly aware of romance since he’d met his soul mate. See, a strange thing with powers was that when you were around your soulmate, they were inexplicably stronger. Todd had met Soo-jung when she’d been on vacation in Crescent three years ago. They’d been inseparable since, and he’d been able to throw a car down three blocks instead of across the street.
Or so he claimed. Nobody was eager to volunteer their car for a demonstration, or anything else heavy and expensive, for that matter.
For my part, I hadn’t spent a lot of time guessing what would happen if I met my soulmate. It was a common train of thought for some, but I never found that it stopped at any fun stations. Instead, I indulged Todd’s meddling because he was my friend and bad dates at least made good stories.
“Gimme a sec, I’ll grab us another round,” Todd announced as he pushed out from our table. “Emma said she’s going to be here soon.”
“You bought the last one.”
“Yeah, now you can buy two in a row once Emma gets here and look generous. Think about it, man.”
“Sure,” I answered, but Todd was already walking away from the table and toward the bar.
Soo-jung leaned in. “You know he’s trying, right?”
“I know, maybe a little too much.”
“You don’t hear the half of it.”
“Oh, good.”
“I had to tell him to calm down when it came to buttering you up to Emma,” Soo-jung explained as she took a sip from her drink. “Sometimes I wonder about him.”
“I’m surprised he says anything nice about me.”
“He’d never say it to your face.” She watched Todd at the bar instead of looking at me during our conversation.
“Does that mean you’ll do it for him?”
“He trusts me to keep his secrets.”
“How about I suggest things and read your reaction?” I asked.
Soo-jung frowned in response before she pointedly rolled her eyes. She knew that reading reactions was one of my party tricks. If you couldn’t be powerful, you could at least read a room.
“Okay, fine. What do you know about Emma?”
“Her last name’s Tavish.”
“That’s it?”
“She works with Todd.”
“I knew that. He kept telling me she was a co-worker.”
“Todd thinks she’s cute.”
“He told you that?”
“No, but he has high standards for you.”
“That’s all the detail you have?”
“Todd’s not allowed to talk about work at hom- Hey, honey.”
Todd was back at the table holding all three pints in one arm; he passed one to each of us despite Soo being less than halfway finished with her current drink. Once he’d finished distributing, he turned to Soo-jung and asked her a question in broken Korean.
He’d been trying to learn, and he was still struggling. Not that I knew the language.
“Yes,” Soo-jung responded in English, “we were talking about Emma; no Korean around Toby. It’s rude.”
“I thought you wanted me to practice?”
“You can practice at home.”
“So we were talking about Emma,” Todd jumped back to the previous topic instead of discussing his inconsistent study of Korean. “Awesome woman, perfect for you, man.”
“What makes you say that?” I asked.
“Oh, she sucks too.”
“Ah, thanks.”
“He means powers-wise,” Soo-jung stepped in.
“So you do know something about her,” I pointed out.
“Something? I’ve been telling Soo everything since we got in the car to come here.” Just as Todd finished, he flinched. Soo had kicked him under the table. “But it wasn’t much, really.”
“What do I get to know?”
“I don’t want to taint your expectations.” He pushed his empty glass away, swapping it with the new one. “But can I be serious for a second?”
I considered it. “Sure.”
“She’s like my boss’, boss’ boss. So best behavior.”
“Wait. Seriously?” I leaned in. Todd worked for the CPRU, which meant that she had to be a heavy hitter if she was high ranked in the city’s power regulation department. “She’s—”
“Not quite.” He backpedaled. “We share a building. She’s straight DPR.”
I blinked twice at that. “Way to set me up to fail.”
“You should believe in yourself,” Soo cut in.
“Todd I w—”
“And she’s here.” Todd had turned his attention away from me and toward his phone. “Hope you’re ready to meet your soulmate.”
“Honey, don’t set that expectation.”
The bar’s front door opened, and I was the only one who could hear it over the atmosphere. I glanced over, and there she was.
She was stunning by any definition, but especially mine. Maybe it was a strange way to describe someone, but she looked beautifully meticulous, from brunette hair to olive skin, to her light blue jacket; everything was in place, and everything about her was gorgeous. Assuming that was Emma, I owed Todd big time.
“Okay, that can’t be her, right?” I asked Todd. After a second, without a response, I checked to see if he was waving at her, but he was stock still, a stupid grin plastered over his face. “Todd?”
Holy shit. The DPR had some crazy people on their roster, but this- I waved a hand in front of Todd’s face and snapped my fingers, then caught the sound of a single cautious heel clicking against the floor.
I stood up from the table and looked back at the door. She’d taken one step into the bar but had gotten caught in the same shock I had. “Emma?” I asked.
She snapped her attention to me -god, her eyes were- but she just looked confused.
“Toby,” I explained, “I’m Todd’s friend.” I motioned over to Todd’s still body and took the first steps to say hello. “This is really impressive. I didn’t think this was possible. It’s cool to meet someone wh—”
“I’m not doing this,” she said. “This is impossible. How are yo—”
“Trust me, this isn’t in my…” We stared at each other for a moment. Somehow, time stopped more than it already was.
“Holy shit.” We both said it at once.
“So this isn’t you?” she asked. Her eyes were still meandering around the frozen bar instead of staying in the conversation with me.
“No, it’s not,” I walked along her gaze and ended up against the bar counter, “did Todd tell you what my power was?”
“He just told me you wouldn’t mind having me around,” Emma answered, which somehow just brought up more questions.
“Enhanced perception,” I grabbed a drink off of the bar to see if I could; As soon as I touched it, it seemed to animate back to life. “What do you mean, ‘mind having you around’?”
“I dampen powers,” she explained, a little quieter than anything else she’d said, “make them weaker, hard to use. The technical definition is long and wordy so…” She sighed as she watched me slosh the beer around. “It’s a lot of trouble, really.”
“Probably good for work,” I offered.
“Pretty much the whole reason I have my job, but Callum wouldn’t admit that.” She approached, but there wasn’t an open seat near where I was standing, nor could we ask for someone to move. “Callum is—”
“Callum Rehsman, head of the D.P.R for the past six years,” I stepped in, “sorry, comes with the perception thing.”
“Honestly, I’m just glad I don’t have to explain it,” Emma took to leaning against the bar instead of walking over to a seat. She undid the top button of her shirt, which was probably too high for a date, anyway. “Emma Terish. Ring any bells up there?”
“No.”
“And you’re?”
“Toby Vander,” I put down the beer to offer my hand, and it froze as soon as I let go. We both paid attention to that instead of the potential formal hello.
“So this isn’t you.” Emma reached for the glass and picked it up; once she did, it animated just like it had with me. “And it isn’t me…”
I swallowed nothing. We’d both said holy shit for a reason, but it felt impossible to admit it. Wasn’t there supposed to be a — Well, something? Anything?
Then again, we were stopping time, and what else could you ask for?
“Do you want a drink, Toby?” Emma asked. She vaulted herself over the bar with a frankly shocking amount of grace for someone in a pantsuit.
“Uh, sure.”
“I’d ask what you were drinking, but we might have limited options,” she was considering her new vantage point from behind the counter.
I took the opportunity to grab the drink I’d left behind on the table. “I’ll use the one I had.” I tapped Todd’s hand for posterity, and nothing happened to him. “Any idea what this might—”
“No idea,” she answered without letting me finish, “but my job involves dealing with unknown powers, so…” She tried to use the soda-gun and swore when it didn’t work. “You learn to roll with it until people cooperate.”
“You still think I’m doing this?”
“I know it’s not me, and there aren’t many options here with us,” she said as she ducked behind the bar and came back up with a lemonade cooler, “but I came here for a date, and I plan to have one. Been a long week.”
I returned to the bar, finding a seat now that she was on the other side. “I just need to establish that this isn’t me. I’m not trying to—”
“If it isn’t you and it’s not me stopping time around us, then someone is giving us a very private venue for our first date.”
“Isn’t that nice?”
“It really is.” She took a sip of her drink, then pulled it away before she had time to swallow. “Shit. Do you have cash?”
“I’ll cover you.” She frowned at that; clearly she wasn’t satisfied with someone else paying for everything. “Plus, you’re serving me tonight. So…” That seemed to be enough plausible deniability to satisfy her. “Cheers?”
“Cheers.”
Throughout drink one, we were casting nervous glances around the paused bar; by drink five, we were laughing, just the two of us. Hours dripped by with the free beer… or they didn’t… It was hard to tell.
Emma added her sixth can to her pyramid and composed herself. “Okay, okay, okay. One second.” She took a deep breath. “This has been so much fun, but I told Todd I’d tell him when I got here so” — she needed another second to find her verbal footing — “can you stop this now?”
“Stop what?” I was halfway through a sip.
“This is the coolest power I’ve seen but—”
“It’s not me, I promise,” my insistence ended up sounding more like a drunk debate. The drunk part was accurate.
“So your power really is enhanced perception.”
“Yes.”
“Okay. Okay. You’re not lying.”
“What makes you say that?”
“Because that’s lame and—” She stopped herself. “Shit, sorry.”
“I am so used to it.”
“You wouldn’t say that drunk if you could stop time is my point,” she almost ducked down to grab another drink but thought better of it. “So, that makes us…”
We’d reached this impasse several times in the last hours. I scanned her. The lines on her face. The size of her irises. She was worried. Apprehensive.
So I said it first.
“We’re soul mates.”
She looked down and to the left, considering instead of answering.
“Why else would one of us display a power we’d never seen before? Unless you’re right and someone was stopping time for everyone but me and—”
“And the woman who’s immune to powers,” she cut in. “Maybe we are soul mates, but turn it off.”
“It’s not—”
“Toby, please.”
“I don’t—” I stopped short and instead tried even though I didn’t know how. My perception was passive. I didn’t get to choose whether I used it. Was there supposed to be a switch somewhere inside my head? Was I—
How long had it been at this point? Six, seven hours? We’d planned to meet pretty late and it would almost be light out by now. She was right. We had to get—
“I don’t know how,” I admitted, “if it’s me.”
Emma opened her mouth to say something, then reconsidered. Her perfectly manicured nails were digging into the vinyl of the bar top.
“Okay. It’s been lovely, but if you getting here started this then,” I said as I stood up, “maybe I just need to leave, and that will turn it off so we can figure out what’s going on.” I took the first steps toward the door.
“That’s a good plan,” she nodded along with what she was saying, like she was convincing herself, “I’ll reach out to you. It was an excellent date.”
“Let Todd know for me,” I added as I reached the door; a second later, I stepped into the chilled early-fall air. The door didn’t shut behind me, so I kept walking until I would have been out of eyesight.
Then I stopped.
Should I have turned around? What were the chances that she was my soul mate? What was I leaving behind if I didn’t see her again? It was a dumb thought, but the idea of walking away started gnawing at me.
But what choice did I have? In front of me, a couple was frozen in the middle of a quiet conversation on the way to the bar. Soul mates only affected one another when they were close by. I took a few more steps and started to sprint.
I was three blocks away when the world stuttered around me. My vision blurred, and the moonlight was shattered by the sun. I stumbled, almost crashing into a woman dressed like she was on her way to brunch.
Shit. I’d left my jacket at the bar, but—
I checked my watch; 8:06 AM.

2024.05.16 11:22 PotatoeFairy AITA for wanting him to distance a bit from his friends?
Background: I (36F) think that friends are one of the most important things in life. I live in another country and even though I've lived here for 2 years, I don't currently have any friendships here, but some acquaintances. I met my bf less than a year ago.
My bf (35M) has some strong and old friendships. His closest, however, are his current colleagues that he has been close with for a year or so. We'll call them Tim and Greg. Tim and Greg are both single.
They have a traveling job, so my BF is gone half the week. I know that he's talking with said colleagues multiple times a day, about work stuff but also anything happening in life. Tim calls him 3-5 times a day just to chat. The problem starts when he comes back home and gets phonecalls from them also on the weekends. Especially from Tim, a few times per day. Even if he knows we are out together, he keeps calling. One time we were for coffee and he called 3 times - that means 2 more times after he was informed that we were out for coffee. Another time we were traveling and he called 5 times in a day.
The last weeks Tim has gotten involved in our garden, which I appreciate, but also makes me feel excluded. They spend hours together there on Saturdays and when they part, the often continue to chat through the evening. I also join sometimes with them, but normally just for a while. When bf comes home from his trips, I would love for him to be exited about spending the weekend with me, but often he asks me if he can go cycle with Greg, go for coffee with the guys or hang with Bill in the garden. It seems they planned the weekend during the week on the phone.
He also chats with them in their groupchat on and off all day. Some evenings I would just like us to sit with each other, but the chat is always there. I miss my bf when he's gone and I feel very lonely, especially since we moved to a new neighbourhood, on his initiative, earlier this year. He knows about my loneliness.
I don't want him to end his friendships obviously, I just feel like the third wheel. He doesn't understand me and is not really willing to change since he doesn't see either the chatting or the phone calls as a problem. He thinks im ridiculous for being jealous of a friend. His other 3 older friends, are also calling him on the weekends for a chat. So alot of time is spent on the phone.
AITA? Has anyone gone through the same?

My bf (35M) has some strong and old friendships. His closest, however, are his current colleagues that he has been close with for a year or so. We'll call them Tim and Greg. Tim and Greg are both single.
They have a traveling job, so my BF is gone half the week. I know that he's talking with said colleagues multiple times a day, about work stuff but also anything happening in life. Tim calls him 3-5 times a day just to chat. The problem starts when he comes back home and gets phonecalls from them also on the weekends. Especially from Tim, a few times per day. Even if he knows we are out together, he keeps calling. One time we were for coffee and he called 3 times - that means 2 more times after he was informed that we were out for coffee. Another time we were traveling and he called 5 times in a day.

2024.05.16 11:21 Objective_Art_4497 My ex is harrasing me, I dont know how to make it stop, im desperate
Long story short i ( 21F) made a bad decision, dated someone (20M) for approximately 9 months, chalked up the manipulative behaviors to trauma and stayed longer than i shouldve
Context that may matter, he lives in another province, has visited, knows my adress
When i left he started blowing up on me and when i didnt respond how he wanted it escalated, he started being aggressive berating me and calling me a narcissit, he has been calling my phone multiple times a day, when I change number he makes new ones, started messaging my loved ones, posting About me non-stop, lies, calling me crazy and delusional, text messages with whatever context he wants, stalking accounts ive blocked him on with other accounts, I have blocked him every where, its been a week of this
i unblocked him asking him to stop messaging my friends/ people i know and to just believe everything bad he believes of me and just let me be, he replied a long text saying he was "speaking to people i know that agreed with him" and that he wanted to show everyone who I "really am" a bunch of the same stuff just scary
He is using a situation that happened between my two best friends in 2018 involving infidelity in between them, im not directly involved apart from me knowing about it and at the time not knowing what to do with the information and feeling hurt over it which is why i told him He messaged one of the friend involved after his initial freakout Full transparency i did back track on that, i felt didnt really have a choice to when he started messaging her about it when he first started freaking out on me after the breakup, at the end of the day i didnt owe him the truth anymore at that point he had alreadycrossed a line about something that doesnt involve him with the intent to hurt me and the people i care about , but that doesn't matter rlly hes sticking to the fact i lied and backtracked on that to prove the things he says about me and now hes saying how hell download his facebook data to expose the situation and what I've said about it previously Its just mental torture, there is no real point to any of this, he wants a response out of me hes trying to hurt me and he is
More info that might matter, his ex has a restraining order against him (that he disregards however he sees fit) because he essentially did the same thing hes doing right now to her but worst, he threatened to kill her and himself, his entire friend group at the time sided with his ex, he told me its because she had abused him and pushed him this far and i believed it at the time but now being in the exact situation she was minus the threats on my life i can see him for what he is
I called a domestic violence hotline, they told me to file a police report for harrasment
Im scared to not be taken seriously and bring more trouble by making him angry, i know harassment is illegal but he genuinely threatened his ex and walked off with a restraining order only, he lives in another province so although hes unpredictable enough to show up here if he wants im not directly accessible for him to hurt me physically and i know that despite the restraining order he still harasses his ex and genuinely believes that she still cares about him and wants to he in his life, he has thoughts like that a lot, he has cyber stalked other girls before bc he belived she was sending him indirect message to keep going even after she blocked him, a friend of hers had to tell him to stop Im just worried that it wont really stop him ? Or might make it worst
Will i be taken seriously considering he has a record of that? Has he been harrasing me long enough for the law to care? I just need all the info i can get
I need advice im really desperate, im scared i feel trapped

2024.05.16 11:18 Pratrax Disappointed with the Xperia 1 VI: Are the Criticisms Justified?
Hi everyone,
I've been using a Sony Xperia 1 II since its release and was eagerly waiting for the Xperia 1 VI. The model has finally been released, but like many others, I'm disappointed to see that it doesn't feature Exmor T sensors on all the cameras and the display isn't as competitive as others. Given the price, it feels a bit like an overcharge.
What I love about Sony is the microSD slot, stock Android, the headphone jack, the photo color accuracy, and especially the burst mode.
Do you think sticking with Sony is a big risk with the Xperia 1 VI? Are all the criticisms about this phone somewhat exaggerated?
Every day a new smartphone is released, and thanks to marketing, it often performs better than the competition. My wife has a Pixel 8 Pro. The photos are beautiful but overly processed in my opinion. There's a significant amount of post-processing, no burst mode, and if you choose 50MP, you sacrifice other options and vice versa, which is annoying.
With Samsung, there's a lot of bloatware and too many gimmicky features. iPhones, while high quality, are a bit of a golden cage, requiring the whole Apple ecosystem. As for Chinese brands, I don't have much trust in them and I find their interfaces awful.
Sony follows the Japanese model, improving year by year without drastic changes. For me, the only real downside is the display, which indeed doesn't match up to other ultra-premium smartphones.
What do you all think, honestly and with a bit of perspective (even though there aren't many thorough reviews yet)?
