Rover AK Posted November 23, 2021 Share Posted November 23, 2021 I [25f] had been with my bf/ex [23m] for 14 months. My best friend [25f] has been my best friend since we were in preschool, sheās been with her bf [25m] about 7 months. Ā Itās been a bit of an issue ever since sheās been with him because i really donāt like him! I know that you canāt tell someone and they have to see it for themselves but I just think she could do SO much better! Heās just one of those where everythingās a joke and he doesnāt take anything seriously, they have such different life experiences and heās got about as much substance as a sheet of A4. But whatever, if she likes him as much as she says she does, then I need to lump it!Ā I think, maybe I worry about her too much cause my own relationship was toxic!!! Itās taken me way to long to be able to say that! Sheās the only person Iāve spoken about it too! My ex he is so controlling, so manipulativeā¦ heās made me feel do so long that itās all in my head, something wrong with me! I should never have stayed this long, but, I was head over heels for him. š„ŗ A few days ago It came to a head. The first time heās ever been properly physical. He grabbed me from behind and put his hands round my throat. Iāve never been so scared. I knew I needed to leave then or I wouldnāt, so I did! Walked out. Told him itās over. Called my best friend, who didnāt answer. Thought Iād walk to her flat. Knock on her door - 11pm, crying, shaking, absolutely state. š Her bf answers, tells me itās just him and the dog, Iād forgotten she was at her grandmas. I was leaving but near hysterical at this point, and he said āwoaah come in and have a cuppa with me you donutā.Ā Ā I went in. I told him, in bits, what had just happened. He was FUMING, grabbed his keys straight away, was going round there, Iām telling him not to. Iād left, finally, I didnāt want him making it worse. He wasnāt listening and then I really shouted at him. āYou donāt listen! You donāt think! You just do!ā Shouting at him!Ā He was really sweet. He came over, he gave me the biggest hug and whispered āokay okay, Iām listening, tell me what you want, why am I not going to put his hand in a blenderāĀ I talked to him for ages. I know through my friend that heās grown up around a lot of domestic abuse/violence/drugs, Iāve never heard him speak about it before, but some of the things he said, I knew he āgot itā. He gave me ice for my neck and a blanket. I donāt remember falling asleep, but I woke up at about 4am, and he was sat awake at the other end of the sofa watching tv with the sound down. He saw me wake up and just went āShh go to sleep kid, your safe - Iāve got youā. ā¤ļøāš©¹ I felt so bad for everything Iāve said to her about him. To sit up all night just to make me feel safe, I just felt horrible! I started to say that to him, and that I just worry about her, and he just cut us off and went āI think you think I donāt see it? That sheās too good for me! Of course I do! But you know one thing I also know, you get a lucky break - you hold on to it with everything youāve got! Sheās the best thing thatās ever happened to me - donāt think I donāt know thatā. Ā I went back to sleep. Woke up a bit later. He was getting ready for work and waiting for my best friend to get home. I was looking at my neck in the mirror, he put out his hand towards my face (I think he was gesturingĀ Ā me to tilt my head up) and I - LOST MYĀ MIND - I kissed him!Ā For a split second! He jumped back! I donāt know what I was doing! I know everyone says āIt meant nothingā but it meant nothing!!!Ā Ā I didnāt want to kiss him, I donāt fancy him! Even if I donāt think heās so bad as I did, heās really not my type! It was like some weird reflex and my brain took a second to catch up! Ā He really freaked out! I was BEGGING him to not tell her! Because it means nothing, but to her of course itās going to mean something!! She is honestly one of the most important people in my life, I canāt tell you how close we are, close our familyās are, our relationship is so important to me!! š„ŗ And now Iām just, oh Iām so stressed! He hasnāt said anything (yet!! Iām still not 100% sure that he wonāt! ..He doesnāt want to look shady). I donāt know why I did that, itās so stupid!! And now I feel so guilty, because ever since she walked through the door that morning sheās been so nice to me and supportive and the great friend that she is andā¦ I feel like an awful person!š Advice??? 2 Link to post Share on other sites
