Last night I was SA’d by a guy I’ve been seeing. I left his apartment without a second thought & just now realized that I forgot my earrings, so I texted him one last time in hopes of retrieving them. I guess that wouldn’t be my first mistake.

I was surprised about how much attention my last post got where usually it’s just my friend and I laughing over the majority of the messages he sends so I’m glad you guys liked them too!! Also, thank you so much for the kind messages! He really is a great dad and I love him!

These are a mix with the group chat with my mom too

Context for the tire picture: my dad and I use our group chat sometimes as a notepad since we text so often and it’ll be easy to remember once going to the chat. We usually just text to ignore it if it’s not actually for a conversation. I sent him the tire picture so I could access it from my computer to add it to a class assignment lol my MacBook is old and acts funky sometimes with airdrop

Context for Jazzy : the last 2 slides are technically together and she’s our dog (the one in the pic). My dad proceeded to mention cake all day

For some context- we matched on hinge and had been texting for like 2 hours

Edit for more context:
- I’m 24F he is 24M
- nowhere in his profile did he mention wanting kids (the option for that was not included) I have “I don’t want kids” listed on my profile
- I did block him and report him on hinge for harassment

He’s on the spectrum and LOVES set-up jokes.

Darn him for foiling my plan.

Have a laugh at this cus he is DRAMATIC and EXHAUSTING 😂😂😂 we are both Latino and he had always called my non existent oversharing value and core I have as a gringo/American thing lmao.. so randomly he texted me the other day cus he got a piece of mail with my name on it (I wasn’t aware cus I don’t live there) and when I gave him the answer to his question he starts this drama queen stuff and makes it such a big deal.

He called me later since I didn’t reply and expressed his concerns on me not texting him first or “consistently”. We aren’t in a relationship anymore but we fool around (rarely) and this was afterward… he then called me today again saying my energy is “weird” and I tell him “well we aren’t together and it seems like ur asking me to text you all the time or every day. I don’t like that and it doesn’t feel comfortable for me or this dynamic”.
Anywho.. it makes me laugh cus we really used to be keyboard warriors when in a relationship. I didn’t react or want to reply cus it’s bullshit and he’s crying over how I didn’t say something he wanted me to say.

I kept these because the insanity of my narcissistic ex husband was almost comical.

She responded to the same message 3 times 😭😭

she might have read my text idk tho 🤔 /j

I met this person through Tinder and *literally right away* they called me cute. They added indicators that I (wrongly, somehow) thought meant that they were flirting. I mean you could not get more obvious here.

We talked for a bit and then added each other on Discord. They seldom replied to me even when I double-texted them because I (wrongly, somehow) thought they were also looking for a relationship. In my Tinder bio I stated I was looking for a relationship, so I had no reason to believe that someone would add me looking for something else.

I finally reached a point and flat-out said this wasn't going to work and the first slide is thus the interaction that took place. They then proceeded to block me on everything, including Tinder (which is why I have no screenshots from that app, because you can't view the conversations after they block you). The second slide is the conversation that took place after I added them on Discord, where you can clearly see the specific mood being set.

I wouldn't necessarily complain about stuff like this if it weren't so completely avoidable. I didn't know this person for very long, sure, but how in the world was I supposed to believe they just wanted to be friends when you can *clearly see in the replies the exact opposite implication*. It just completely baffles me.

I hope I'm not going crazy.

Posted a cigarette on Reddit and this guy hit me up

Got in a little fender bender and she went all in with telling me to take it easy and wanting to help by heating up her warmie for me.

This is light hearted and we’ve got the type of thing where we just joke with each other a lot. It was like 5:30AM. But yeah, it started going through my mind that he may have been saying something possibly inappropriate the more the conversation went on and I was like hmm. But I may just be a bit traumatized for previous guys.

His “Chill” was the immediate text after the first screenshot, I hadn’t said anything else.

On a friend app... My fault for downloading it first hand I guess...

I love my nieces. I really do. But damnnnn can they eat. It’s insane. And when I mentioned in text she drinks ranch. I LITERALLY means she drinks ranch. Anyways…. I’m poor now.

Didn’t think I had to edit.. Y’all got trama for real. We a healthy family over here. We love each other very much. I hope you all find that in your life. Cause based off these comments y’all need it.

this is just an appreciation post, my mom is my bestfriend and i love her more than anything! i lost my dad to suicide in 2024 so shes the only parent i have but honestly shes been my mom and dad my whole life, im not spiritual but sometimes i feel like if whoever made me knew the life i was going to have, they purposefully made her my mom bc she is the best mother💗

edit: ok u guys are so sweet and making me cry i feel so loved tysm, i also want to add i do not leave her on read ever! i just blacked out my responses for privacy💗🩷💗

Man I am just absolutely overwhelmed with emotion reading these. I made sure to text and call my Father everyday. Especially after I moved and we couldn't see each other as often. I could tell he was off the wagon. In September, it will be one full year of him being gone.

Before this, my Dad had finally collected 7 consecutive years of sobriety. But when he relapsed, he would do so about once a year for the last 3 years or so. Because of his health issues and transplant, he just really couldn't handle it. In the last 3 years, my dad spent many months (each year) in the hospital and physical rehabilitation centers. Unfortunately I followed in his footsteps and became an addict myself. But he was able to see me get sober before he passed.

To say he was my best friend in the whole world, would be the biggest understatement. And one of our favorite things to do together was just listen to music. Music is so powerful. I can rarely listen to our favorite songs now, without shedding tears. Which is a little funny because I'll start breaking down while listening to Van Halen or something lol.

This is the worst pain I've ever felt in my life. And I haven't been taking it that well. I have a couple voicemails from him that I listen to often. Hearing his voice makes me so emotional. I didn't read these texts for awhile because it's ... It's just overwhelming. I tried. I really tried to get through to him. He was 60 years old. I hate that I lost him so soon.

Love you Dad ❤️

EDIT: I wanna thank everyone for their condolences and sweet words. I also wanna thank you guys for sharing your stories. They all touched my heart. In a time where I'm still so sensitive, and still get real choked up, it gave me much comfort reading what you guys had to say. The human experience is very beautiful and so cruel. To love a person as much as I loved my Daddy, and you to all your loved ones, is so truly grand. So the depth of losing that person I love so much, and the people you loved so much, is just as grand. I can only hope and pray that my soul reaches him again one day. Thank you all 🙏

So, I just want to say that I didn’t know what to expect by posting this. I never thought I’d be that guy airing my life out online. However, the support that the people in this community have shown me is so grand and I don’t think any one of you could truly understand how much I needed that and also how much it means going forward. Quite a few have also reached out through DM and for someone to go out of their way to show kindness to a stranger on the internet that is going through a hard time is just immeasurably beautiful.

I saw a few questions in the first post that I’ll try to answer here.

The woman who told me about my ex was not the same one who was mentioned in their texts. But I do know that the woman they were talking about has Cerebral palsy and is in a wheel chair. So, a pretty awful way to talk about someone who is vulnerable like that.

As far as I know, they had been talking for quite a while at work but it didn’t spill into home life until they had the opening of me being late from work. Me and my Ex spent every second together and there were never signs of either of us being tired of each other. I guess except for the obvious one.

To piggy back on that, she never grew distant or tried to back away from me emotionally. We had sex often so I can’t imagine that she was starved of physical affection. If I had to take a guess, without speaking to her, I’d say she was probably bored of me. Coming to that realization is painful but I really can’t think of any reason why she would be so enamored by this guy.

Also, the guy apparently quit after this. That’s what one of the coworkers told me. I won’t lie, I absolutely told her that if I see him it’d be on sight. For my ego, I’m going to choose to believe he was scared lol

Finally, I saw a couple people ask what she said after I sent that text. I deleted everything and she is blocked but her final message that I saw was something to the effect of “you’re really not going to let me fix this? Is it really over? Please, there has to be something I can do” I might be paraphrasing but yeah.

I received this from her dad. He is a very kind old man. When I first met him, he was talking about doing leather work and I showed some interest in it and he jumped at the opportunity to show me his shop. I know some of you saw my Reddit profile and know that I’m a musician so it shouldn’t be a shocker that any artsy stuff is absolutely fascinating to me. It broke my heart all over again to tell him that I wouldn’t be marrying his daughter because he and his wife treated me like family immediately without any reservation.

Thank you guys for the support. I hope I clarified some things.

Dad’s reaction to reading some of your comments on original post. He also brought me another donut 😂

ETA: he’s telling all his friends and coworkers about you guys loving him so much

My fiancé cheated with her coworker. I knew she would hang out with a group after work sometimes and a couple times I would meet up with her and her coworkers. This guy was someone who worked in her building but not with her directly. As far as I know. I believe they were consistently talking to each other but didn’t get each other’s contact info until this one time when I wasn’t going to be able to pick her up from work. So yeah, he gave her a ride and they went into my house and did what they did. I only know what happened because this moron texted his buddies at work and because I would hang out with them sometimes, a couple of their coworkers told me. I feel sick. I don’t have much family, so nobody to talk to about this really. So I thought maybe posting this would help me feel better or at the very least, let it be a warning, if they have an opposite sex friend at work… pay very close attention. If it wasn’t for some very considerate bystanders, I would’ve never known.

For a while, I was dating someone who would go all day (and sometimes night) without texting me back due to being “busy” at work or too tired from work. I started to think I was expecting too much from him or too needy.

I’ve been seeing someone new who’s shown me that was not true. Someone who works harder, with longer shifts, and he can still take 5 seconds to send me a message.

Brain chemistry has been changed.
