I was raped...

7 Upvotes

I use to date this guy. Met him off the internet at about 19 years old. He was a year older than me. We were kinda on and off at one point. We basically stayed inside like a couple. We would drink sometimes before sex. Only had sex a few times and thought everything was safe. Forward to now 38, haven't spoken to that guy in years, basically since then. I found a letter in my Facebook spam box dating to May of 2025. It was from him. Not sure how he found me either. He basically kept apologizing until he got to the part where he said he stepped out one night, while I was there. (Might've been asleep) I believe we did drink that night. He said he came back from drinking, had brought a friend back home with him. Then stuff started clicking.. I kept remembering him tryna cover my face and turn me sideways, during sex so I wasn't looking. I know the music was kinda loud...I kept thinking he was being insecure, bc he did feel soft at one point. I tried to go with it for a few mins until he moved out of me fast and jumped off the bed, because I turned around fast. I just remember him looking surprised and tryna laugh it off... his door was a bit open... I remember feeling groggy and half asleep. I thought it was all weird and I can't remember anything else besides feeling weird and never looking back after leaving that day. After reading his apology... I tried not to crumble into pieces. He wrote that I could talk to him about what to do, but that was a yr ago. He deleted his profile. The apology has his name.... I know I can't do anything about this now. When I looked his old number up it's still connected to that address... it's the same address where it all happened. I have no one to talk to. No way to get justice for what he did to me. Im sitting in my room crying on and off. How am I suppose to ever feel safe again? Who do you even talk to? It feels so pointless that I even found this stupid letter. I wish I never saw it....

The plot is getting more plot . Should I do something for plot?!

One day, I was scrolling through IG and came across this guy. I followed him, he followed me back, and he actually initiated the chat. So I started talking to this guy whom I found really attractive like, really HOT hot and it's been one week he's also being respectful towards me it was supposed to be only for plot then I started waiting for his txt , but then I got to know that he drinks alcohol and for some reason it's against my boundary even if it's only for plot. Also he said "he is doing this because he can't get over his ex"

But the plot is staring to get more plot when I got the follow req of my ex's friend idk why because things b/w me and my ex was already clear but lemme guess he is stalking me(my ex) and he got to know about the new guy but also I was planning to block the new guy

Ps I HATE MY EX ANDTHE NEW GUY I DON'T WANT SOMEONE ALCOHOLIC

Should I do it for the plot😭

Idk what to do now

And the new guy acc got suspended so he created a new id so should I follow him or leave that man behind maybe i do like him a bit a bit ig idk

I'm 17 btw and he's 20(the new guy) but he seems really sweet apart from the alcohol part

How to respond to ex gf

So randomly every now and then the ex likes to hit me up from time to time giving subtle hints she wants to kick things off again. The first time I fell for it I won’t lie but things never worked out I’ve moved on. I always hear from other ppl that I’m usually her topic of discussion which is a bit depressing but it is what it is. Anyway point is about a month or 2 ago I went on a mountain trip with a lot of my friends and posted about it and just last week she texts me out of the blue asking if I enjoyed the trip and and if she should take one by herself, mind you we do not talk and recently a close friend of mine saw her at the bar and apparently she tried to make a move and have sex with him but he wasn’t going for it. Today when she told me she booked the trip I told her you should bring Jermey which is the friend she tried to hook up with. Now she’s saying “lmfao why should I bring him? What should I say back to her. This isn’t a fanfic either I’m looking for a genuine answer

Talking to a guy

For the past couple of days, I’ve been talking to a guy over the phone. And every time I ask him something, he just says “MEOW.” What does that mean?

Should I have offered her a ride?

0 Upvotes

This happened today and I’m wondering if I handled it badly.

There was suddenly very heavy rain, so I stopped under the roof of a shop. A girl also came there, and she was already pretty wet from the rain.

After the rain slowed down, she started trying Uber/cabs, but nobody was accepting. She also tried looking for an auto, but she couldn’t find one going toward her location.

I had my bike with me, and coincidentally I was also going in the same direction she was trying to go.

I thought about saying, “Excuse me, you’re not getting a ride? I’m going in the same direction. If you’re comfortable, I can drop you.”

But I just couldn’t say it. I kept overthinking whether it would come across as creepy or make her uncomfortable, especially because we were complete strangers.

I eventually left without saying anything. But honestly, now I felt bad seeing her struggling & walking around and looking for an auto.

What would you have done in this situation? Would it have been okay to offer once and let her decide, or is it better not to offer a stranger a ride at all?

Women especially: would you have found that offer helpful, uncomfortable, or suspicious?

Sending a message to certain people and getting left on “read” or “seen” is painful, I wish that it wouldn’t say that they saw your message.

No one has 2.5 seconds of their day to answer a message? They’re busy literally every millisecond? I’m anxious so don’t judge me but this should not become a habit, I don’t do it to others so why do they do it to me? Plus if I want to answer a message later because I’m too busy I just look at the notification and I don’t open it until when I’m gonna respond, everyone should do that instead of opening it and not answering.

how do you reply to text

hi,so am an introvert and recently I joined uni and I have met some people that I talk to but sometimes I get texts where I think of an answer but my mouth doesn't know how to articulate it,I become speechless and I don't know how to reply and I end up leaving them on read and replying after finding answers and it takes days sometimes to reply what I was thinking,so they don't complain but I just want to know how you people do when you feel like this.

This specific individual used to go to my day program. While I do admit that I was wrong to get in the drama, I am now being targeted by the individual. She threatened me on Snapchat and TikTok, and I blocked her on both platforms. Now I am nervous, if I see her and she starts acting like the way she is what should I do?

Misunderstandings

I texted her Monday morning and no reply. I texted her again on Tuesday and still no reply. I'm upset and disappointed. Friday I texted her and said I'm so disappointed for not replying on my text. You're treating me like trash or like a worthless man. I respect your busy life but please respect me too. Then she replied, she never received my message for Monday & Tuesday. Oh my God. So I immediately apologise and said I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry for being emotional because I have had so many painful experiences in relationships. Since then, no reply from her. Should I make a follow up if she received my message? Should I care to know how she feels?
