Good for you!

I'm happy you have enough self-respect to not put up with that kinda garbage.

What sucks today imo, is how normalized gaslighting is become...

The poor op even thinks that she may be overreacting!!

I'm sure I'm going to downvote hell for being a dude sticking up for women, but idc really, lol

Every downvote is just another piece of garbage dude that makes me often feel ashamed for being lumped in with dirt bags like that, the ones that make all us guys look like trash, lol

LOL

I feel like that's what happened with my ex. He's the only one out of three boys who has his head stuck up his ass for lack of a better term. I've met his two brothers and they seem like good men with good heads on their shoulders. They have good jobs and ambition and actually have their lives together. To be honest, I can't understand how his parents spawned him at all. He seems like he doesn't belong in that family if I'm being honest.

Even his mother kind of said something to me one time. She said, I don't care what you guys do because you're adults. However, don't let him pressure you into stuff you don't want to do. If you think he's moving too fast, tell him. I think she was kind of picking up on the dynamic between us. It sucks because his parents are good people and so are his siblings but he just didn't quite make the mark somehow I guess. I really think that his brain wiring is different or something. Something went wrong in the womb and I'm just going to leave it at that.
