got away

I am a genuine disgusting, horrible piece of shit, and I don't know what to do about it. — 20M. This might be the longest post you'll ever read. I believe I have OCD (I'm not officially diagnosed) and do nothing but ruminate 24/7 about my past. I have been in isolation for the last 3 years…

I have done absolutely horrible things. I might be the worst human being to ever live. — 20M. This might be the longest post you'll ever read. I believe I have OCD and do nothing but ruminate 24/7 about my past. I have been in isolation for the last 3 years. It started as a fear of adult…

Out of a delusional episode and have quit drugs, but evidence of something "wrong" with saying it was delusional has emerged today... — First off do me a favor plz, google for "what is the electrical phenomenon some stipulate is needed for a timeline shift?" yourself and tell me if it throws in the answers anything about a change in S…

Why are people so cruel? - Day 13 of Recovery — Had a bad day today... *Really* bad... People are so fucking cruel. First someone sees my scars at church of all places... Not that I'm Christian, but isn't it called a sanctuary for a reason? Anyway…

My parents would make fake police reports to label me as a ‘bad kid’ so I wouldn’t be believed if I came forward about their abuse (tw: CSA) — I don’t even know exactly how to explain this, but recently in therapy while I was yapping about my life, this topic came up: When I was around 13, my mother started making fake reports about me and …

can anyone else wake themselves up from a lucid dream?? — within this past month, i've been having ptsd lucid nightmares from an incident that happened in january (a stranger tried to kidnap me and nearly beat me to death but i got away with only some bruise…

The lie that destroyed my reputation when I was 5. — Growing up my older sister was horribly abusive to me. Even back then she displayed narcissistic tendencies. When I was 5, my parents divorced and my mom moved us back to her home state. She was jus…

The fact that someone as terrible and disgusting as me has been allowed to live this long is the world's worst joke. — **(This is a repost of a post I made a while ago, which I am reposting because I'm back in a slump again. There aren't any major changes other than the ending bit.)** 20M. This might be the longest p…

Bless Another—Bless Yourself — Hi everyone, So today I'd like to talk about a nice situation I manifested for someone else. **Context** For a long time, my mom's husband has tried to build his own business and also to purchase o…

Should I try and reconcile or is the writing on the wall? — 35 M, married 12 years, 4 kids. We’ve had a lot of circumstantial challenges but I really believed our love and connection was solid. Last year an old flame reconnected with her, they met up (withou…

I need some advice and I need a good one, I don't want to say that I'm a special case but based on every person I have ever met, I don't think what I'm going through is normal. I can vent about so many things but i'm probably gonna go nowhere with what I'll say. — I have come to the conclusion that I can't change, and that I keep getting reminded of that, that I can't get long-term friends, that I'm probably will be laughed at by 95% of everyone behind my back,…

Learning how to heal — FYI, this gets long but I guess I'm needing to vent or get second opinions from people who are in a similar boat. My mum is a narcissist and for as long as I can remember she's been putting myself and…

First Connection After — Not quite divorced yet, 9 months into a 12 month waiting period, but had my first new emotional connection recently. Man it has fucked me up. While I think I have been ok with the divorce for a while …

Can you love two people at the same time? F(26) — Not sure how to best explain my situation, but here it goes: I met a guy when I was studying abroad and was 22. We had a brief summer romance that did not last longer than 3 months. I had to go back …

I [20F] and my Bf [19M] are struggling to get over something that happened, what can we do? (Slight TW) — So, I (20F) and my boyfriend (19M) (Who im gonna call J) have been together 3½ years.

What do I (25f) do about my stalker (26m) ex boyfriend? — I wasn’t sure where else to post this, I hope it’s okay here. I was in a relationship with someone from 2019 to 2021/22. He abused me throughout the entire relationship. It took me 2 years to get away…

My exDA could never sleep as well. He also had a horrible life routine. Even during the work week would stay up till 1-3am and wake up at 11am-2pm and then avoid his work. He was fully remote and some…

As FA myself I can say I’ve done this so many times. There so many girls out there who were the “One who got away.” Were they actually? Probably not, it’s just people like us have a strong tendency to…

That sounds very triggering! It sounds like you wanted more out of this than it’s turning out to be, and maybe this fellow is trying to make a polite exit. It’s impossible to know why. Maybe he’s avoi…

Had a date planned for Sat night, sort of. She messaged me in the morning saying "Hey want to meet up tonight, I am going to see my friend play music at 8 but would be fun to meetup beforehand." I re…

I've finally gotten the opportunity to reconnect with "the girl who got away"! There's a girl named Emily who I met in my freshman year of college. We were both music majors, and she always partnered…

You’re sweet and you don’t know how much that means to me :”) I finally got away from a bad relationship last year and my last two mini relationships since have been spectacular failures so dating has…

Yeah sorry brother, you’re the only one in the relationship now. She’s in college and gonna be doing her own thing, likely with several other guys. It was bound to happen at some point, and while I kn…

Yes I got away! I moved out, I married the guy I was dating when she called me those words. We moved into a house next to a lovely elderly couple who have been better parental figures to me than my o…

Yes omg 100%. Across the board. They aren’t good to anyone. The goal is to make everyone insecure and seeking his validation. He probably makes her miserable talking about how things “were just better…

I felt the same way when I found out my ex husband is dating the woman he claimed was just a friend during our marriage. It took me a couple months to get back on track but I really spiraled for a min…

You kept walking?! Hell yeah, what a fucking power move. I know internally, you're freaking out, thinking over everything, and are completely jarred by this.. but just walking by them is 100% the b…

My dad seemed kind most of the time and when mom would go off he would tell her to knock it off. He died when I was 13. Mom only had use for me when she could simper and preen over my accomplishments.…

Don’t give up your birds you will regret it. I worked in exotic bird stores in Denver CO for about 30 years. I met so many people men and woman that gave up their birds for someone and totally regret …

Well my most recent ex said he’d never come back to me despite no actual wrongdoing so I guess time will tell. It’s been I’d say 7 months since he broke up with me and we were in contact for a month i…

You need to have a conversation with her. But after rugsweeping for twenty years she’s going to say, why now? She thought she got away with it. Because. You. Let. Her. Either deal with not knowing …

Dont think I'm coming down on you because I'm sincerely trying to help. You need to ask yourself some questions:  -Do you think she had any respect for you? ...wanting to have her cake and eat too. …

I knew a woman who lived with her narc mom and her Mom took every paycheck she got working at fast food since she was a teenager. How is the girl ever supposed to build her own life if the Mom is taki…

Broke up with someone and didn't completely cut them off, although I still kinda want to. I feel annoyed when she texts me or talks to me... but like, it's not too bad, thankfully she doesn't do it ve…

So happy you got away and are having a nice life! Kudos!!!

Works to heal the old wounds? No. I haven't. I exercise to the point of burnout. Worry to the point of excess. The thing is, those who did the damage (and yes, I've done plenty of damage to myself, no…

Why is he free? They be trafficking girls in Romania and got away with it

I hope you asked him if he hopes your daughters have a partner like him. I'm glad you got away from him. He isn't worth it. Total loser.

Do you think there may be regret if the next person doesn't give them what you did? Like the whole 'the one that got away' kind of thing, or even then id it a no?

Do you guys think OBS believed my husband??? He didn’t seem like he did. This keeps me up at night, that AP is still somehow living a happy carefree life and got away with this while we I am grinding …

“The one that got away” for them is someone who got away from their control, not someone they love. Love to them is control.

I've done it before. It was a mess. Thought she was wife material so I took a shot. We dated in secret for months. Lots of nights staying in. Couldn't really go out on dates. Seems like even w…

I assumed my ex-husband was refusing to tell me what he thought-sometimes he was, because he secretly hated my politics, but most of the time, he wasn’t thinking about a thing. He was one of the most …

Definitely got away from a red flag there. In case you can’t see the red flag, she’s very insecure about herself.

Yes, but that yes also lives in a very large grey area, atleast for me (maybe others too). Sorry if this turns into a long ass comment, Ive been working this out myself on and off as I can bare it. …

It doesn't hurt to try. But don't expect anything. That's as good as dead gets. There was a match 3 weeks ago that was my type, we exchanged one message and nothing. I was at my (married) friends hou…

This is what I learned from my parents’ divorce. They were in and out of court for more than ten years. My father got away with so much shithousery.

Kpop industry doesn't seem to realize that the more kpop devolves into catering to a global audience, the less kpop it becomes, and the reason kpop got so successful in the first place was because of …

Mine tried to frame it that I had chose the abuser over them. I didn't realize they were both abusers, I was just choosing the neglectful one but violent one (as it gave me more opportunities to dista…

OP, I just want you to know that you deserve any kind of love that you want, and there are people on this planet who can be that kind of love for you. There are over 8 billion people on this planet wh…

First thing in the morning if possible get some sunlight. No phone in the morning ( I wait an hour after wake up ) I follow a senses diet. Its not only what you eat. It's what you watch hear see …

Be sure to “air gap” all your communications. Do not leave forwarding addresses, forward phone calls from your old number, do anything that tells where you are exactly. Take all your funds out of your…

No, I would not tolerate this. Your husband had it easy for too long and got away with it. It seems he chooses not to listen to you and do nothing to change his attitude. So, he either needs to step u…

Right person at the wrong time. Let it dissolve. Be each other's "one that got away" Your options are to force an ldr til he caves or move to be with him. Those both suck. Or you let it go. I woul…

That's how you meet your "the one who got away". Spoiler: no matter how much you idealize that relationship in the moment, nothing will feel as good as the one who actually stay. Everything you sha…

Yes. I remember this starting way back in elementary school. We didn’t have a dress code. My class size was a whopping 35 kids. I’m in 1st grade. My friend and I are wearing the exact same top. It’s l…

To your last edit, he shouldn't have kids with him obviously. But that if she does, you will always will be there for them as you fear what someone that SA'd before and got away with it could do in th…

OP have you directly given her a deadline to move out? Explicitly reiterated the terms of the settlement agreement? It sounds like she’s in denial, or she could be taking conscious advantage of you, l…

I got away, but every time I did,  I left the door open for her to message me with some BS. That door is now closed.    I remember the first time I blocked her on everything when she devalued me. Sh…

Time to really work on yourself so you don't emotionally neglect another amazing woman because you're hung up on the ex. Know a lot of men who was in your shoes, didn't appreciate the new girl because…

Glad you got away from her, OP, but a little concern that you might fall for more of her gaslighting. Stay strong.

For anybody who didn't actually read the article, he's actually already served 5 years in county jail. So it's not as if he never served any time for this crime. I personally would have wanted …

Mine came home one night terrified of the guy she was doing coke with, told me it was her ex, and he wanted to do more with her, she was already black out at this point, never wanted to see him again,…

Im so glad you got away form them [hug for you and your wife](https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTZjMDliOTUyam1lcXhua3k1YnB1emZnNmtsNmdweTBjemJiaXpvcDRuaDRtYnczdSZlcD12MV9pbnRlcm5hbF9naWZfYnlfaW…

I do have a question, have you been around any koalas lately? If not, the he's lying to you sweetie. My ex tried the same thing. Gaslit me into staying and then continued to mentally abuse me for 10 …

Things are much better now than when I was little tbh. Im happy I got away from them.
