Miranda cosgrove and nude pictures

REDDIT CHAT ONLY, short term lenght of a roleplay. Please, read everything i have written in this post before you message me. Trust me, i would know if you dont read everything in this post.
So this is a basic idea for this roleplay scene - Your show has became pretty famous because it is based of you asking celebrities naughty questions that nobody dares to ask them. And i am your next guest. How i want this dynamic to go is - you ask her a bunch of sexual questions, then a mini game. Then another round of sexual questions, then a second mini game. And then another round of sexual questions and the final minigame. Examples of a mini game (come up with yours) - celebrity rates guys dicks, celebrity guesses the breast size by touching females boobs.
So if you have read everything please send me this in your first message to me - your characters name, age, description, kinks, limits. 3 mini games you came up with and a photo of a celebrity you choose me to play as.
Celebrities im willing to play in this roleplay (willing to play as all of them but i prefer the top 5)
Top 5 - Talia Mar, Pokimane, Alissa Violet, Natalie Noel, Freya Nightingale
Lena the Plug, Mia Khalifa, ItsFangs, Corinna Kopf, Erin Gilfoy, Carly Incontro, Shakira, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj, Yanet Garcia, Milan Mirabella, Bhad Bhabie, Malu Trevejo, Bambino Becky, Miranda Cosgrove, Jennette Mccurdy, Victoria Justice, Gee Nelson, Billie Eilish, SSSniperwolf, Ranya Shelesh
I am 18+ and all characters in this roleplay have to be 18+ too

My sister in law live with us since a couple years ago. Both me and my wife like to have her with us, they're very close, she knows when to give us our space, we know to give her her space, and when we spent time all together is very fun.
My problems started months ago, when she let me her Iphone. I was bored and my own phone's batery was dead, so I started to look on her phone, and as I was looking through her galery, I found nudes. At first I was worried and got out of the galery, pretending I didnt see anything, but something inside me was curious, and wanted more. This little voice was stronger at the end, because I started to look through it again. It was just a couple minutes, but I saw enough to have a very clear image on my mind of all her naked body.
Its been like this since then. Every 2 or 3 months, an oportunity presents, and I can look again, finding new pictures and some videos every time. Recently, we gave her an iPad as a present. It's hers, but we all use it all the time. She linked the iPad to her iphone. A couple weeks ago I realized I could watch her photos on the iPad.
I feel disgusted of myself. I know I'm wrong, I know I'm an AH, a creep, I know I deserve the worst. I dont know why I do it. I love my wife, I feel atracted to my wife on every way, physical, emotional, I love her humor, her inteligence, all, our sex life is great, I dknt need anything else. And still I'm doing this, and dont know why, or how to stop. After the initial burst of adrenaline and emotion, I regret it, feeling dirty, ashamed, and always tell myself its not worth it and will be the last time, and then I do it again.
Few days ago, I noticed that her door has a small crack, almost imperceptible, but enough to see inside the room. When she came out from the shower, I took a look and saw her, clearly, completely naked, her butt, her legs, her breasts, all while she was dancing on a sexy way in front of her mirror at the pace of her favorite songs.
Thats when I realized how wrong am I. I'm scared of myself. I dont even feel atracted to her, but I'm still doing it. And I dont know why. I want to stop and dont know how. I cant talk about this with anyone, I dont know who or where ask for help.

I (23F) have been dating 25M for 10 months now. I am so scared I am going to sabotage this relationship because of my insecurities. I am just comparing myself endlessly with his ex-gf and his ex-FWB.. There are multiple things that bother me, I''ll try to list them:
It’s almost like I want to make myself feel anxious and insecure. Information, pictures or texts that I've found through lurking (which I try to stop doing) hurts my feelings but have burned themselves into my head. (1) For example, the summer we started dating he was frequently liking his ex-FWB pictures on IG - some revealing, some not - last one he liked was from a couple of months back, a very revealing one where she had taken a picture from above, angle looking into her tanktop, her tongue was out, nipple piercings visable through her shirt, very suggestive. Him liking provocative pictures of a woman he used to have sex with makes me uncomfortable. He hasn't done it for months now, but I fear it could return around summer when she wears revealing outfits again.
(2) I've also recently realized in a group chat with his friends he added me to, you can look back at messages before you were in the GC. That led me to look way back and see some things from months before we started dating, that still bothers me. Messages about his ex-FWB, how hot she is, how hot it is that she is a masochist (I'm not one), etc. I even saw pictures he had shared in the GC of many, many nudes she had sent him and pictures he took while they were having sex, in many different positions (with her consent, she's into it). It bothers me it looks to be using the same BDSM equipment he uses on me, the same positions he likes me in, etc. It makes me paranoid he's thinking about her when he's having sex with me. From the pictures it was apparent she is more sexually confident than I am, which makes sense given she has a much bigger sexual history than I do, he only just took my virginity, but still, it makes me scared he wishes I was more like her. This thoughts show up in my head almost any time we do anything sexual together, it's horrible and obviously makes it very hard to be fully there and enjoy it
(3) I also saw a message he sent in the GC 8 days after him and I had met: “I asked \ex-fwb* if she wanted to fuck just now, she's online she’s ignoring me lol”.* This was 8 days after we met, 8 days after he sent a message to that same GC about how he met a cute girl and he thinks that she likes him (me). We weren't official, didn't become so until 5 days after he sent that ex-fwb message, but still, it kind of hurts he wishes to hook up with her once more even after we had met, we had had our first date at that point. Especially also because he has told me multiple times that having sex with her reassured him that sex just as a means to get off wasn't for him, and that it was the emotional intimacy that made it important to him, he said he didn’t even enjoy it, wasn’t even attracted to her body type, etc…. yet he wanted to do it again? I fear he lied to me.
(4) There were also some messages from the past about his ex. He send various different texts various different occasions about how he loves how extremely outgoing and sociable she is and that they can have such intelligent discussions. I feel like him and I never discuss things back and forth. I also am very, very much the opposite of "sociable", I am very quiet and subdued, I like to observe more than anything and talking to strangers makes me nervous. He also send a comment about how his ex, at the time when they were dating, had "perfect big boobs", which makes me insecure since mine are much more on the smaller side.
This is me being insecure. I am aware of that, fully. I want to fix it. I am in queue for therapy, but for now I’m doing my best with what I can do. It is absolutely exhausting, the way everything makes me second guess myself. I've never felt as insecure as I do now. I've considered breaking up multiple times, even though I love him and really can see myself having a family with him in the future, just because it is so draining and I feel much more insecure now than I ever did before we were dating. The little insecurity that I do show him willingly, he will go on to reassure me a ton.. he's very loving, supportive and reassuring that he loves me for how I am, he's called me more attractive, trustworthy, more compatible, etc, that any girl he had a relationship with before, so it's not as if he is trying to make me insecure or anything. It's all in my head. How do I improve from this? ANY advice appreciated x

TL;DR: I'm struggling with insecurities in my relationship with my boyfriend of 9 months. I find myself comparing myself to his exes and feeling inadequate. I've discovered past messages about his ex-FWB and ex-girlfriend that exacerbate my anxiety, from before we were dating. Including him calling his ex-FWB hot, sharing the nudes she sent him, sharing pictures he took while they were having sex (with her consent). It makes me extremely insecure and worried that he prefers her, or is thinkig about her when we do stuff.
Also about his ex, about how he thinks she's so amazing for being sociable and outgoing and I am the completely opposite. I worry that he wishes I was more like her.. I feel jealous and uncomfortable with the fact that he has liked his ex-FWB provocative IG pics last summer and I worry he will start liking her pictures again this summer when she starts to wear less clothing again, despite them seemingly not having been in contact since she ghosted him. I'm aware of my insecurities and seeking therapy, but it's not readily available. My boyfriend is supportive, but I fear my insecurities may damage our relationship. How do I repair my insecurities?

My sister in law live with us since a couple years ago. Both me and my wife like to have her with us, they're very close, she knows when to give us our space, we know to give her her space, and when we spent time all together is very fun.
My problems started months ago, when she let me her Iphone. I was bored and my own phone's batery was dead, so I started to look on her phone, and as I was looking through her galery, I found nudes. At first I was worried and got out of the galery, pretending I didnt see anything, but something inside me was curious, and wanted more. This little voice was stronger at the end, because I started to look through it again. It was just a couple minutes, but I saw enough to have a very clear image on my mind of all her naked body.
Its been like this since then. Every 2 or 3 months, an oportunity presents, and I can look again, finding new pictures and some videos every time. Recently, we gave her an iPad as a present. It's hers, but we all use it all the time. She linked the iPad to her iphone. A couple weeks ago I realized I could watch her photos on the iPad.
I feel disgusted of myself. I know I'm wrong, I know I'm an AH, a creep, I know I deserve the worst. I dont know why I do it. I love my wife, I feel atracted to my wife on every way, physical, emotional, I love her humor, her inteligence, all, our sex life is great, I dknt need anything else. And still I'm doing this, and dont know why, or how to stop. After the initial burst of adrenaline and emotion, I regret it, feeling dirty, ashamed, and always tell myself its not worth it and will be the last time, and then I do it again.
Few days ago, I noticed that her door has a small crack, almost imperceptible, but enough to see inside the room. When she came out from the shower, I took a look and saw her, clearly, completely naked, her butt, her legs, her breasts, all while she was dancing on a sexy way in front of her mirror at the pace of her favorite songs.
Thats when I realized how wrong am I. I'm scared of myself. I dont even feel atracted to her, but I'm still doing it. And I dont know why. I want to stop and dont know how. I cant talk about this with anyone, I dont know who or where ask for help.

We've been married for three years. F(31) & M(32).
When we were dating, I used to take sexy pictures for him and send them to him. He wouldn't seem interested and would reply very plainly sometimes monoslyllabically. His argument was that if we weren't physically together, my pictures wouldn't help him, on the contrary it would make him feel sad that we weren't physically together in that moment.
Fast forward to our married time. We both watch porn when the other is not home. We already talked about it, this is not the issue of this post. I understand that watching porn is a normal behaviour, I do it too, and neither him nor I do it excessively (I think).
However, the issue that bothers me is that I have found that my husband is downloading full albums of girls. One particular girl he revisits and has multiple albums of her just posing in underwear and bra/crop top. She looks very young. Because of the fact that she is not showing her body in full nude, I doubt that she is 18.
I did some research on the internet and I found that it is indeed very hard to make sure that the models are of consent age. One particular issue that stood out was models that look young + pose in skimpy attire and provocative positions, but never removing their lingerie is a tell tale that they might not be of legal age. She has chipped nail polish and everything in the photos looks so curated to show youth and virgin-like innocence.
Then I look at myself, early 30s body, etc, and I feel bad about myself. I wouldn't have a problem if he looked at videos of women that look like women. Though I would still be bothered if he downloaded picture albums of mature women.
Then I think back about my own experience sending him my photos and him expressing disinterest while he has albums of other women/girls on his computer.
At the end of the day I don't know what I'm angry about? What he likes or my insecurities? Or is it more to it?
Looking for insight, thank you.

So let's start from the beginning, once I was browsing the Internet and found some nice nude art pictures of a girl made by a photographer who left his watermark. She had a profile, on which she had some more hardcore pictures and apparently she linked a only fans account. Anyway she didn't show her face on any picture but I thought because of the watermark I can find her and 10 min later I did. Her job, her town, family everything just by Instagram and Facebook. I contacted her on only fans where I made a anonymous account. I told her everything and that she doesn't need to worry because I don't do anything with that information which I never did. That was like 4 years ago. We kept in touch not on only fans because I deleted my account there after, we used snap even tho I was already married, so is she, we send us nudes. I already felt bad then towards my wife but somehow the girl made me do it and to be honest it also aroused me even tho I felt bad. At a point the communication store and for a long time we didn't talk anymore or very rarely nothing nude anymore just like how is it going and stuff. Recently I had to go to a conference and it was in her home town. She also started to go pro on only fans meanwhile I guess. Well I asked her if we want to meet, she said sure and sex is possible but I have to pay. I told her I don't want that, I can't do it to my wife. She said it's okay we can just meet for lunch, which we did two days ago. It was nice lunch we had a nice talk everything was okay. Then we walked a little and she asked if we can get to my hotel room. If you know me you would know I'm a very nice person who always tries to please exercise everybody. So said yes, my heart started pounding already. When we were on the room she said she wants to use the rest room she did, I went in after her when I came out she was naked and came closer to me and then it happened we had sex, while it happened I was like stone, I didn't know what to do, it also didn't really worked well I was thinking what am I doing here, stop it but I couldn't. I couldn't finish we had protection the whole time but still .. in the and she said okay now to the money and she does that every day her husband doesn't really know about it tho.... When she left I bought mouth rinse and almost used the whole bottle I'm back home already but I'm crying since. I don't know what to do. I can't tell my wife I don't want to break her heart, I don't know why I couldn't avoid it, why I didn't say no, I just couldn't. I love my wife more than anything and I feel so bad now even if she told me couple times before she would be fine if I had sex with another woman as long as I don't fall in love with her. But still I can't talk about it I feel abused somehow even tho I could have easily stopped it now I'm also afraid of getting some STD since she told me she does it every day... I'm freaking out and I can't anymore. 😢

Finally got all my plants in new pots with fresh soil / potting medium and got the new stand, grow lights and humidifier set up!
Pictured plants -

• Nepenthes Miranda
• Nepenthes Ventrata
• Schefflera
• Venus Fly Trap
• Sarracenia Rosea
• Nepenthes Sanguinea
• Cardon Cactus
• (Euphorbia) Red African Milk Cactus
• Lego Mario Piranha Plant 😂

Unfortunately most of these guys have spent periods in less then ideal conditions and an unfortunate period of neglect after moving into a new house last fall, but they have all remained strong and not gotten sickly.
Hopefully now that I've got them in much more desirable conditions and a more permanent (Sarracenia and VFT spend most of their time outside) home they will go back to thriving.

It’s been over 48 hours since S3P1 was out and many have opinions of the episodes. Many love it. Many are lukewarm about it. Many are experiencing a mix of the two. But with many rumors on social media spreading around about the second half, I do need to address something that is going around lately.
The Benedict hate!
Yes, people are complaining that he’s got yet another love interest, that it’s a case of “rinse and repeat”. But please, hear me out on this. This is all part of the bigger picture.
Benedict is supposed to be directionless!
We see him all 2 1/2 seasons where he is being the emotional labor to his family as Anthony took the main duties as a Viscount. We see him being a good friend as we saw with his interaction with Will and Alice. We see him using his charisma and humor that made him a fan favorite. High at dinner Ben continues to live rent-free more than 2 years later.
And we see him seeking companionships with women. As brought up in a recent thread, he has a type. He likes a woman to be independent like Genevieve, having a successful business in a male-dominating world. He appreciates someone who is open-minded like Lucy, who is more than happy to share him with Gen in their hookup while being happy to let her husband be with his male lover. He is in awe with a resourceful woman like Tessa, who uses her job as a nude model to learn the lessons at the Academy since women weren’t allowed. And now with Lady Tilley, we see Benedict being okay with a woman taking the lead.
However in her case, he is not going to listen to her warning of being “trouble”.
Which goes back to my original point that he is directionless. LT brought up in an interview that Benedict does something and does it well, but the moment something bad happens, he steps off. After some encouragement in S1 and in S2E2, we see him apply to the Academy. The man who complained about his lines not being right and throwing away sketches was finger painting and improving in his craft. But the moment he learns about Anthony’s donation, he step off. But it was boiling for all of S2 as Anthony teased him about his doodles, charcoal going into his brain, and drunk with models.
Then at the start of S3, Ben managed the estate while Anthony and Kate were away. When they were back, he’s back to being directionless. After the brothers suggest to give the Season a try, he became the prey to debs after one dance. And now we get to Tilley, who is going against the norm for widows. And when he is going to get too close, once again he is going to get burned.
On top of what I stated above, he continued to be reminded that he’s a second son. A spare. Number two. A Bridgerton. Even Tilley knew who he was. And he’s tired of it. He’s tired of the Ton. He wants to establish his own identity, but his family name and the Ton is keeping him chained.
This is why all of this is important to his character development. It may not be as obvious as Anthony or Eloise or Francesca, but the seed planted in his first scene in the series is slowly starting to grow. It may be in sprinkles but it’s growing. We may not know yet what to expect in the second half (especially in episodes 7 and 8), but he is being set up. It just going to be need a certain lady in silver to color his world and bring meaning to his life.
In the book, Benedict tells Sophie to let him be her anchor when she said she been set adrift all her life. To the audience who is following him closely, she is going to be his anchor, his muse, and the air that he breathes.

I [23M] recently realized that I am a cheater. And in fact, I’m really bad at it.
Last week my [22F] girlfriend of 1 year went through my phone without warning, it was unprompted and I’m unsure how she got past my Lock Screen. We had no talks about cheating or boundaries prior to this. She had no reason to look, but when she was in there she went through my emails, forum posts, and recently deleted photos. I’m convinced she used my facial recognition, because many of the accounts had different passwords.
She found sexting, and nude model photos in my DM section of a forum. She shared what she found to her best friend immediately, before even telling me. The sexting was about three messages long before I felt stupid/lame and went to do something better with my time. I never went back to any chats or sent them a picture, and I also didn’t delete any chats. Anytime I was sent a nude photo I deleted it. I did not have contact info or names of anyone and I never asked. I never really wanted to meet up I just wanted to get off. To be frank I didn’t think I was cheating, or had anything to hide, I thought I was just being a horny dumbass. Also I had not done this type of thing in a few months and forgot to delete the account.
I don’t feel like a cheater and I would never give a third person affection while in a relationship. I am definitely a lustful dumbass. While I don’t see myself doing this again, I’m not sure if we can repair the blowout that occurred. My GF knows I have high libido and it is never addressed. If the roles were reversed, I think it would hurt my feelings but I still wouldn’t consider it cheating.
TLDR: I let sexual frustration/addiction get the best of me. Now I’m labeled a cheater amongst friends

I’m not even sure if I should be here, but I don’t know where else to post, I’m sorry in advance… to clarify he was never an addict as far as I know, but he did use porn many times even after I told him I was not ok with it. And he lied about it when I asked. It wasn’t until I insisted and insisted (very calmly) that he finally admitted to it. This was a few weeks ago.
The timeline is a bit fuzzy. We’ve been together for 2 years. He’s had pictures and videos of me throughout our entire relationship… yet he still decided to watch porn. It’s pretty silly we never discussed porn because I don’t watch it, and I just assumed that he didn’t either, especially because he had so, so much material of me. I mean why watch porn when you have your partner’s nudes and stuff, no??? I was so naive.
I’m not sure if I can ever get over this but I really do want to. But what can be done if it wasn’t an addiction I mean it was more casual to him. I think it’s a me problem now. How can I ever have good self esteem? Just thinking about the many many times he couldn’t get it up for me (sorry TMI) but I’m sure he had no problem when watching porn. And I feel so fucking stupid because I have terrible self esteem so when sending all those pictures especially the videos, I pushed myself so far out of my comfort zone. Yet I still wanted to please him and feel wanted. It was all for nothing because at the end of the day he still turned to porn.
He saw how much it hurt me, he apologized, he said he wouldn’t do it again. The rational part of me believes him because again it wasn’t an addiction. But the paranoid part thinks that he might do it again if I’m not around and the circumstances are right, lol?
Sorry this was so long. I have no one to talk to. I talked to my sister about it and she said it was something extremely minor… but it wasn’t to me. It still hurts so much! I’m not sure what to do. Thanks for reading. (Btw I’m 23 and he’s 34)

I honestly don't know where to start. My dad has never been a good person for as long as I can remember. I (18) have 3 siblings. 24,23 and 4. Growing up me and my siblings were always abused. We would get thrown into walls, beat until we were bloody and weak. Handcuffed to our beds and couldn't get up unless we screamed out and asked. We couldn't get water unless we asked. We couldn't use the bathroom unless we screamed and begged. Even then my dad would stand outside the bathroom and if we were there linger than 5 minutes he would open the door or even rip us out the bathroom. It was worse for both my siblings. I was my dad's favourite. I wish I wasn't. But it made things easier. I experienced what they went through but less. My brother used to wake up with my dad beating on him. Sometimes for things he didn't even do. My dad would fight us at the ripe age of 7. I dint mean whoop our ass either. I mean actually beat us. Chase us around the house, pull our hair punch us in the rips. Make holes in the walls from our body. And my mom stood by, watching. She too was afraid. Some days we were forced to get naked. He would bring people over like his friends or his family and they would watch him beat us in our underwear. We were kids. We were girls. Girls getting beat in front of grown men. Screaming and crying begging to stop and let us go. Nobody helped us. They just watched. They sat by and just fucking watched. Some came back and were still around my father but most left. They couldn't be friends with a man like him. I wish I could describe what that man had done to my brother but my sibling won't tell me. It's been years since my brother moved out, he's left that life behind him and I'm so thankful for it. My brother is happy. Living with his girlfriend and making music now. My sister's however, we all live with our parents. And every day, I see my mother in agony. He beats her. He Screams in her face. He throws knifes at hern and when she says she's gonna leave he throws himself in our garage and tells her he's going to kill himself. So she fights for him to stay alive. Because she still loves him even though she's being mistreated. Even though he's mistreated us. Her children. He cheated on her with his friend. (Let's call her B)
B had a child of her own, she came into our lives when I was in about 6th grade. She was horrible. She clearly wanted my father. She made up things about me and told them to my dad so I would get in trouble. She misconstrued my words till I was grounded for being disrespectful or thrown at my mother. My mom knew everything that went on. She saw her. B would push me into the walls and on the floor. They forced me to call her daughter my sister. Throughout my protests, they never stopped. I would actually get beat for saying she wasn't. She called my dad, daddy even though she HAD a dad. This is the woman my dad first started cheating on my mom with. My mom would coom and clean. Take care of him financially . Let this woman into our house. Into our lives only for her to turn around and fuck it up. One day I went to walk my dog and when I got back my father was in handcuffs. How funny. It wasn't me anymore. It wasn't us being Handcuffed. In some twisted fate there he was. Sitting in our lawn. 10 police cars all over my street. So many officers guarding the house and him. I cried. Maybe he was gone forever. I don't care about what he did. I care about how long he's going to be gone. My mother informed me that his mistress b scratched his face in an argument and he abused the fuck outta her in front of her child. Then took her phone and left. I prayed that day. I prayed he would be gone forever. I prayed he would never make it back home. And yet he did. My mom begged me and my sister's for bail money. And it's my mom. As much as I hate that man. I love my mom. I would do anything for her. I tried to tell her I didn't want to. He wasn't good for us but she cried into my arms. She didn't want my little sister to grow up without a dad. She was financially dependent on him even tho he didn't have a job at the time. I'm guessing he got a check because he was ex military but I'm not sure. He came back the night before thanks giving. Next morning he disappeared. Told my mom he was gonna kill himself then went silent. Mom begged me to talk to him. SHE said he was only willing to talk to me. She begged and begged " please baby, please I don't want to lose him" I couldn't say no. So I sat outside by the ring camera. Alone. At the age of 14 I talked my dad out of killing himself. By. Myself.
Now years later, B hasn't been in out lives and he's cheating again. My mother despises him. If he drops dead today she wouldn't care. She just wants to be a person. She's told us to pack a bag in case he goes crazy she's ready to leave. He's cheating on her with a woman from him new job. She found pictures of her nudes on his watch. I pray for my mommas safety. I will fight for her. I'm old enough now to understand that my mom was afraid too. I'm old enough to understand that sometimes you just need to put down a man if he hurts your family. He isn't my dad and he's not a real man. I wouldn't normally wish death. But he may deserve it.
(Sorry if there's typos I literally broke the right hand side of my screen so I can't see anything n I don't have money or a car to go fix it ) <3

When i was 17 my home life was a mess so i used dating apps and ended up meeting a 35yo man. I basically used him to get away from the abuse and fights but he would always beg me to have sex with him when i stayed at his house and i would always say no until one time i asked to stay at his place and he said he doesnt want to be my saviour anymore so i told him id sleep with him if he let me stay over and he agreed to do it. Afterwards he asked how it was i told him it was boring, we ended up arguing because of it and never spoke to each other again.
I was depressed and upset that this was how my virginity was taken and started burning and cutting myself because i felt empty and worthless. I ended up unable to leave my bed for months, i didn't shower for weeks and had to be put on antidepressants and was sent to therapy. I mentioned some stuff to my therapist about nude photos he still had of people he dated when he was in highschool and pictures he took of me and she told me i need to speak to the police about him if they're underage so i agreed. When i spoke to the police the conversation about how i knew him came up and i ended up mentioning how he took my virginity and the police told me it sounded like i was rped, i denied it at the time but ever since ive told people hes the guy who rped me, i know it's probably wrong to do it but i just dont believe I should have been allowed to consent to that at the age i was.

A little back story:
I meet my wife in high school and she and I became friends and have been friends ever since. I have always liked her and was always there for her.
Around the time we were both in our late 20s I popped the question after we’d been dating for some time. She said yes and I couldn’t believe it. And we’ve had a good relationship so far.
Fast forward till now. She’s been on her phone alot more lately. Also being very protective over her phone as well which isn’t really like her.
Well, one night I decided to check her phone while she was asleep (I know not the best) and what I found destroyed me.
Over the last 8 months she had been texting an ex of hers, this ex let’s just call him C who was a real piece of work.
He cheated on her, physically abused her, used her for money, and eventually left her for an underage girl.
I remember this because I was there for my wife or friend at the time when this happened. She was beyond devastated and depressed for weeks. Eventually I was able to help her out of this depression.
But I had thought she had moved on and has finally realized what a piece of crap he was.
But her texts to him broke me. She texted him things like:
“I missed talking to you”, “how are you hun”,
She even sent him good morning texts and talked about cuddling. She also sent him pictures (not nudes) but very idk suggestive images. Her showing him her work outfits but just looking sexy idk.
I am sitting in my car rn and have smoked 4 cigarettes. I don’t want us to break up over this but I also don’t know how to approach this and would like some advice.
Tl:dr wife has been caught talking and flirting with her abusive ex bf. Need advice on moving forward.
Update: I have confronted her about this, she cried and was made I went through her phone. She said C had reached out her her on Facebook 8 months ago and they’ve been talking since.
She said she was deeply sorry and wanted to stay with me, I had her send him a long text detailing that she is with me and how she’s been disrespectful to me and also had her block him and tell him to not contact her anymore.
It’s been good and she’s been making it up to me, but a lot of you said she settled for me and I can’t get that out of my head. Was I her last option?

So recently about 2 days ago on instagram. I get this dm from a girl (guy ig) which seemed literally legit. Like legit. Was texting back and forth (small talk) and she started sending pictures/videos back of her being “aroused” and was begging me for pictures of myself. I sent however nothing nude though.
Later on I started getting a feeling that something was extremely off. So I stopped interacting with the person. They then tired to get me again later and I denied. It was until today (this evening) that I get a dm from them saying “hey what’s going on” and all that sortta stuff. Then all of a sudden they send the pictures of me to my family members/friends via instagram DMs looking like the pictures were sent to them. I started freaking out severely. They started to say “I will keep ruining your life until you pay” and “everyone else will keep getting these until you pay” they asked for $1,200 via Venmo, Cash App, Apple Pay, etc. I said okay I’ll pay then just immediately blocked them and changed my username and pfp.
I then called my cousin and close friends about it and they started to laugh. I was confused. They said it happened to them before and they know people who it happened to. Knowing people who actually gave money to them too. They told me to calm down and that they won’t actually send anything because it’s putting themselves at an extreme risk for felony and fines. I didn’t believe them at first because these pictures well screenshots I guess looked way too real. Actually looking like they sent those pictures to family members and friends. So far I haven’t heard anything from my family members or friends. I have the family members that would immediately contact me if that happened same with my friends.
I have so many questions for people this happened too. Like how do these images/videos look so real they were sending? Were they using someone to send the videos for money? Were they using another victim’s pictures and videos? And how does the image manipulation (screenshots of the dms to my close people) look so real? And most importantly what do I do furthermore? Should I let it go? Just completely ignore it all and move on with life?
I give so much sympathy to whoever this had happened to before. The thoughts just get to you sometimes without thinking twice about what’s going on.
Thank you all for reading..

Just basically what the texts says. They got pictures of me (23M) cause i am in a low moment of my life. I send the without thinking
I ended up paying them over 800€ but when they asked for more i told them i didnt have anything more, block them on social media, made my account private and im see if i can refund everything i paid (trough steam gift card frome eneba) and talk with my bank to see if they can help me
Can you guys give me some support and advice? Im feeling a bit overwhelmed and im terryfied everyone sees my nudes (my sister, my friends, my coworkers)

found pictures in my boyfriends phone
A couple days ago, my boyfriend (24m) was sleeping and I(21f) decided to grab his phone and look through it. I didn’t really find anything until I decided to look through the hidden camera roll and once I got into it, I saw a bunch of pictures of girls that were nude. obviously me being the person that I am. I instantly woke him up and I asked him. What were those pictures doing in there? he told me that he forgot that they were in there and that they were old pictures of people that he used to hook up with. I then asked him. How did he forget those pictures were in there if they were pictures and videos of us from a week ago in the same folder as those other pictures. he just kept apologizing the whole night and saying how he honestly didn’t know that they were in there and how he forgot that they were in there. I feel disgusted. I don’t even know what to do or say. I feel betrayed and I honestly just want to scream my lungs out because it infuriates me that he has promised he wouldn’t ever do this sort of thing to me and he did. yesterday we decided to talk about it, and I couldn’t even look at him in the eyes or even allow him to hug me because I just felt gross. I love this man, but I’m just conflicted right now.
TL;DR;: what do i do?.

I'm F18 and my bf is M18, I met him online last year in October and I thought we were starting to get serious until he did stuff that showed me he really wasn't serious about me so I stopped talking to him only for him to realize he did actually like and want something serious with him, we've been together for 5 months and know each other well he booked a plane ticket to see me this summer although now I'm debating if I want to be in a relationship because of the things he has revealed to me he did early on in our relationship, when we were talking but not officially together he was sexting with another girl and she sent him nudes while he would talk dirty with her, he also said that he didn't see us going anywhere at the beginning of the relationship which hurt me as I was serious about him at the very start. He also struggles with ocd which I try to be understanding but often hurts me a lot because most of his ocd stems from him thinking he's not being loyal enough, which often leads him to look at other girls boobs or their ass and then proceed to tell me and apologize. I try to reassure him that as long as he doesn't act on those thoughts I would never hold it against him, he still watches porn because I told him I would never send inappropriate pictures no matter how much I love him and trust him although it does make me insecure to know he is lusting off random women on the internet, he used to be a player which makes me wonder if he is playing me although he has proven to me multiple times he is serious about me but recently he has not been putting as enough effort into our relationship, he doesn't text me throughout the day and I really only talk to him or the phone and doesn't call me as pretty as often as he used too and often spends the time we are on the phone to sleep which I try to be understanding since he is busy with college but I feel like I don't love him the same way l used too after finding out about all these things he's done while in our relationship that seemed disrespectful to me. I want to break up with him because I just feel as if I'm leading him on now, I still love him but don't feel the same way I used to about him, although I feel as if now he's the one who loves me more, would it wrong for me to break with him now or should I just wait 2 months until I see him in person and see how it goes from there ?

Atlittle background: Me and Jack (fake name im giving him) had been dating for 2 and half years. Last August, I found out that Jack told a another girl (18) imma call her mckayla, "I love you". And begged me to be in a poly relationship and I told him no as he begged. As this wasnt physical I forgave him mainly since I thought it was a misunderstanding to our communication. Now that I look back at it, I shouldve left right there and then.
Now to current day, last week I was searching his usual username online. I felt like something was up and off and some reason I felt like that would tell me something. When I searched it up I scrolled down to see a picture of Jack and this other girl nude, sending to another person. It was shocked and pressed the link for more context and found out that he sent it to Mckayla to make her jealous. I notice the name and contact her about it on Twitter and hadn't gotten a response until after I confronted him. I tried to confront him all day but all he could do is leave me on read. So after school I went to his work and amaze he wasnt there. He finally got back to me 8 hours later of me finding out and told me it wasnt his fault because he fell in love with another women. That he no longer loved me in that way and wished me the best. With no actaul closure or anything, he never even took responsibility and said it wasnt cheating and how he gonna spend the rest of his life with a "girl who as crazy as him".... Hearing that was heart breaking.
Aftermath: Mckayla finally contacted me back a day later, telling me about her experience with Jack and how she had been wanting to contact me for awhile but couldn't find out how. She then explained the photo of Jack and the girl, Chloe (fan name), who was 20. They had a only fans together and were planning to get married in 4 months. I was originally going to move in with him in 4 months, actually, but because of this, plans changed. She told me how he sent her two images in the photo: the naked one and the second one of his back being scratched up from having yk what. She told me how it shocked her and how he told him it was disrespectful to his girl. He then told her that it wasn't, and they were laughing about it in the car. I was shocked as she provided screenshots. Then she told me her experience with her, including why they broke up, other red flags he showed, and the real reason he got kicked out by his parents. I realize some of these experiences felt familiar, and I realized I went through some of the same things as her. Such as him harming himself while we beg him not to and laugh about us crying about it. Another situation was him saying he was going to drug me without my knowledge and trying to pressure us both with drugs and sexual acts. Another example is when his parents kicked him out for getting another girl pregnant, which he told me was SA, and I learned that it wasn't. It was consensual. Then I find out that he has a rape kink.... There's so much more that I found out after that as well, and it just gets so messy. How do I get over this? I feel like I lost my trust in people and never really got the closure I really needed and havent been processing it well. I feel like I still love the person who he use to be from the beginning and I hate that feeling because how he is now. Any advice?
