| 6 | "there's a darkness inside me"Haha good for you, dodged a bullet 😂 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/07/21 01:24 PM |
| 12 | "there's a darkness inside me"Jeez, I'm really starting to think some of you dated my ex. My ex would say the same thing. He didn't 'care' for people and saw every connection he did have as simply an exchange of benefits. They were not 'friends' but simply means with goods/services. He even said this applied to his mom and brother. I think he tried to have this as a mysterious edge about him. 🙄😒😅 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 02/07/21 01:15 PM |
| 11 | "there's a darkness inside me"Right! I feel like it's really rare for a mother to admit her own son is a bad man. I never really knew what was so bad to make her say this but I could tell they definitely had a strained relationship. Regardless, I didn't want to stay any longer to find out. Within the year I was with him, I saw enough. And she was definitely right. ✌ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/07/21 06:09 PM |
| 21 | "there's a darkness inside me"Yes, it was pretty bad. She kept repeating that he is a bad man and stated too that he doesn't deserve me. And that was really surprising seeing as her and I weren't all that close and that was one of the few times she spoke to me. I definitely got out of that relationship after some struggle of letting go (I think I was trauma-bonding) and honestly I'm surprised by how peaceful the post break-up was for me. I didn't really feel much of anything. Not much sadness, loneliness, etc. I felt at peac… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/07/21 05:58 PM |
| 110 | "there's a darkness inside me"Yes!! Had an ex force his sexual fantasies of MMF threesome onto me (which I NEVER did) but then he would have "post nut clarity" and go on about his guilt and how he was so ashamed of himself. He'd cry "I am a believer of God and this is a sin!!! I will never want to share my precious woman with anyone! I am so ashamed... forget I ever wanted that babe" Then bring it up again the next day, and the story repeats itself.😂 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/07/21 02:35 PM |
| 27 | "there's a darkness inside me"Did we all date the same person?!?! LOL we are all living separate but similar lives. 😳😂 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/07/21 02:31 PM |
| 61 | "there's a darkness inside me"This is creepily accurate to my last ex. He would always say he was a bad guy with darkness surrounding him and trying to 'take control of him'. He always said he was trying to fight the darkness with the light but sometimes the darkness wins... 😐 I used to think that this darkness was his life and family who was very abusive and manipulative, taking a lot of his positivity and making him into a drained and miserable person. For that reason, I sympathized with him and felt sorry for him that his… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 01/07/21 02:29 PM |
| 2 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.Such a good point!! Yeah, I would much rather give up some friendships than my own personal sanity... thank you so much. I doubt he will record it though... he is not very confrontational. Plus, I don’t want to get into the legal aspect of things... unless I feel truly threatened that is! But yeah, thank you sooo much for this! I need their support or the friendship is a dead end unfortunately 😢 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:47 PM |
| 3 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.Wow yeah! Thank you so much for this! Honestly, reaching out to my ex or his brother doesn’t seem ideal because I feel as though this is a trap of some kind. So... I will tell my friend to please stand up for me or I will be forced to disassociate for my own sake. Thank you for understanding. This is in fact very stressful but all of this advice made things much simpler. Thank you! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:41 PM |
| 3 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.True... you are right... I should and I will keep away. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:37 PM |

| 8 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.Thank you. I won’t! I have been on a beautiful path these past months without him. I feel like he senses that and is trying to take me off track. Not happening!☺️ | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:33 PM |
| 12 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.Nicely said because this is exactly how I feel... put into words haha.. thank you so much!!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:31 PM |
| 12 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.Yes I feel this. He probably painted a very ugly picture of me to his brother and friends but this I could care less about. What I care about is when it gets too personal or when it comes back to my friends that I DO care about. But I try to remind myself that at the end of the day... it’s okay. He and I know the truth... and he will have to live with that truth no matter how hard he tries to cover it up with lies! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:30 PM |
| 2 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.Thank you so much. I will do this exactly. I was wondering how to go about it without having to contact my ex... even thinking about contacting him made my physically sick... I was scared because he’s so unpredictable I didn’t want to heat him up even more. But I also didn’t want things to escalate and more be exposed. But this is perfect. I will talk to only those who matter. My close friend... and tell him my side without exposing and disrespecting his privacy. I don’t want stoop to their leve… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:28 PM |

| 17 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.Good point. I actually took what you said and did it right now. Voiced my perspective without digging too deep into the details. I need to find that balance between standing up and saying too much. Thank you for this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:23 PM |
| 5 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.Yeah I think that’s exactly what I need to do. Btw I love your reddit name. Always had a deep love for Pheonix’s and wanted to get one tattooed. Haha. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:22 PM |
| 1 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.It is pretty stressful because I have no idea how far they’re willing to go. But as for my friends sticking up for me, it’s one guy vs 4 of them. And I know that that is no excuse at all. But he is a very non-confrontational person so it’s hard for him to speak up... even if it’s something against him. He’s very sincere about things though. Extremely supportive and helpful but yeah, it would be nice if he stood up. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 04:21 PM |
| 5 | My (24F) ex's (28M) brother (22M) keeps talking bad about me and he's starting to say very personal things about me.I already have them all blocked! But because they’re still a part of a mutual friend group I still hear of them. I just want that chapter closed for good without gossip and problems along the way. Why can’t it be that simple?😥 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 30/08/20 03:44 PM |
| 21 | Not every man is looking for a good woman...Damn right! 👏👏 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/08/20 04:58 AM |
| 15 | Not every man is looking for a good woman...This was a sign for you, for sure. 💕💕💕💕 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 20/08/20 04:11 AM |
| 1 | Leaving Him Was The Best Decision I Ever MadeThank you! And honestly, I even feel that same regret too... questioning why I even let him have me or have access to my energy for so long! But life is really all about learning from our mistakes. And despite them treating us so horribly... we can walk away knowing we have hearts of gold to be able to give up so much with so little in return. Now it's just a matter of us placing that love inward instead!💕💕 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 16/07/20 12:54 AM |
| 2 | Leaving Him Was The Best Decision I Ever MadeThank you so much!! 🤗💕 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 07:19 PM |
| 6 | Leaving Him Was The Best Decision I Ever MadeYes I'm so proud of you!! Especially considering you were married. It is already so challenging to detach oneself from a toxic boyfriend/girlfriend let alone a husband/wife. I am so happy you didn't get trapped... good for you!! And for the last statement... I second that!😊😊🙌🙌 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 03:46 AM |
| 7 | Leaving Him Was The Best Decision I Ever MadeYes it actually makes sense. I've witnessed that myself also! Actually, it was only until after the breakup when I started to be able to piece things together and realize certain things just didn't add up or make sense!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 02:45 AM |
| 10 | Leaving Him Was The Best Decision I Ever MadeYes!!! Its such a beautiful feeling. I've never been happier. I'm glad you are with me on this journey !💕💕💕 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 01:59 AM |
| 15 | Leaving Him Was The Best Decision I Ever MadeActually this is a perfect depiction of it... I was on the verge of depression and it was only then when I decided "No. I can't let him do this to me... I need to get a grip". If I stayed any longer, I would have likely gotten depressed and he would have had an even stronger hold on me. And it's crazy... while in it all, I would talk to friends asking for advice and truly believe he wasn't all that bad. I would say all the things he's done wrong and then end it with "but hes honestly a good guy … | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 01:58 AM |
| 14 | Leaving Him Was The Best Decision I Ever MadeAwwwh... :') Thank you. So true... I really appreciate that. I always did deserve to be this happy. I am just so glad I finally got here. It was a long time of heartache... now it's just so peaceful. FDS is a miracle lol. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 15/07/20 12:41 AM |
| 18 | To the queens who unequivocally deserved better and KNEW THEIR WORTH this seasonAnd did you see how Stephs friends were reacting on the catch-up? So obnoxious, rude, aggressive, and embarrassing. Meanwhile Erika's friend was calm, respectful, etc. Its as though their friends were the exact reflection of themselves. Its as the saying goes "you are who you hang out with". | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/06/20 02:32 PM |

| 6 | And if that relationship ends up being with yourself, so be it!💕💕💕Yes girl!!! I completely agree. I actually love being able to say with love and confidence "No. He is not what I want or what I'm looking for in a man" rather than just taking what I can get so I am not "alone". I refuse to be with someone who will drain my energy or break my heart... nobody is worth that, especially the person willing to do it to you! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/06/20 01:02 AM |
| 3 | And if that relationship ends up being with yourself, so be it!💕💕💕I love this!! I am on the journey to doing this as well! I am really excited to just get comfortable with myself like this. It sounds beautiful and peaceful. I already sense it coming... now I just have to put it into action!😊 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 09/06/20 12:33 AM |

| 2 | I Have A Problem With GuiltYou're amazing, honestly. Thank you so much for this. I think I needed to go through this relationship to know the flags for the right one. I think I'll stay single for a while and heed your advice until the right one comes naturally! Thanks so much for taking time out of your day to help me. 💕 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 04:24 PM |
| 2 | I Have A Problem With GuiltThank you SO much... this really makes me feel so hopeful that this does exist and that I can get the same energy and love reciprocated. I have tried my best to reshape myself to be someone that is easy to talk to, expressive, patient and understanding - not solely for men but for everyone I connect with. This was hard to do... I had to get out of some really bad habits that I learned for years. But I knew I had to do it and the people I cared for deserved nothing less from me! Now, I expect tha… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 03:33 PM |
| 1 | I Have A Problem With GuiltI dealt with these same problems... practically everything. Yeah, I couldnt handle that anymore. It was so difficult... I need to know that the person I am with will talk through problems with me, know what he wants and chases it, etc. I don't want to have a relationship filled with fighting and stress. What kind of relationship is that anyway? | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 03:21 PM |
| 1 | I Have A Problem With GuiltSo true... I don't really know what he is dealing with. If it is intentional or if it's a personal struggle like you said. But regardless I shouldn't allow that to make me feel guilty for everything I do or dont do... thank you. I did leave the relationship, now it's just a matter of trying to not feel bad for doing it. Thank you very much for making me feel better 🤗 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 03:04 PM |
| 1 | I Have A Problem With GuiltYou're right... it seems so blatantly clear that I shouldnt be dwelling and feeling guilty about this but it's just not how my heart works (right now). I agree.. he did play a lot of mind games even if he may not have meant to play them. I was constantly confused being with him because his mood was always fluctuating. One day, so cute and kind, the next so distant and cold. I will try to remember what you said the next time I am feeling guilty... thank you so much! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 02:47 PM |
| 2 | I Have A Problem With GuiltThis is so helpful... I really appreciate this because by doing this reflection I feel like I'll be more rational with my emotions! At times I have done this and it worked... I would think "Why do I feel bad when he did x". But I was never consistent and thought of it as a form of reframing or therapy... now I will be more committed to doing this. Thank you very much.💕💕💕 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 02:04 PM |
| 1 | I Have A Problem With GuiltThank you very very much. Your insight was greatly appreciated. I hope so too and I am glad you got through this yourself.🤗💕 | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 01:33 PM |
| 3 | I Have A Problem With GuiltI actually really appreciate your insight a lot. This all makes sense! I dont believe it's related to insecurities, however. In fact, I never found him above me. I am a confident women and have built myself to never let a person shape my image of myself. He has actually brought this up while we were dating. Even if he were to talk about my flaws or other women, I wouldnt be defensive and sensitive but rather, I would have open discussions about it and agree with most of what he was saying. For e… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 12:53 PM |
| 8 | I Have A Problem With GuiltThank you so much for this. I actually do believe that this can be a serious factor. Mind you, I don't know if it was how I was brought up because I don't see this in any of my other family members, but then again, I do believe that it could have happened subconsciously without me even knowing it. I am one step closer to understanding now. Thank you :D | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 03/06/20 12:35 PM |
| 16 | 'I'm gonna let my children and wife suffocate in the no-AC car, because my friend thinks my wife is dressed inappropriately'I remember I was at a party with my ex - it was his friends party and I went without knowing anyone - and I asked him before we walked in if he could introduce me to people before leaving me alone so I don't feel uncomfortable. He said "of course" and when we got there he ditched me right away. I tried talking making conversation with others but they fell flat and I felt super uncomfortable.

| 2 | I Was The Best WomanI can totally relate but in a different way. My ex would pressure me to do a threesome with another man and I had explicitly told him how uncomfortable it was. He would still do it and would pressure me to imagine men having sex with me. It was disturbing. He tried pressuring me for over 6 months. And it got worse and worse. Then every time he was satisfied with the fantasy he would tell me hes disturbed by his actions and hes not proud of it. He would act so apologetic and say hes sinning again… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/02/20 04:08 PM |
| 5 | I Was The Best WomanI am so shy too and I would have so much trouble getting out there like that but I want to do it and break all my fears! I also struggle with the same things. I like doing different things that most of my friends arent into. Either they party or they never go out LOL. So I feel your pain!! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/02/20 04:02 AM |

| 10 | I Was The Best WomanYes. They lift you up to make you feel special and also feel as though you have a standard or expectation to maintain. When you don't meet these expectations you're stripped of this so called uniqueness. Thankfully I was confident enough to not take anything he said personally. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/02/20 02:35 AM |
| 13 | I Was The Best WomanThis is exactly what happened. It was always about his feelings and never mine! He would always express his feelings and I was there to listen and always see what I can do better to make him feel better. But when I expressed my feelings - which was very rare - I was self centered and nagging. It's a lose lose situation with these kinds of people. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/02/20 02:33 AM |

| 2 | Please help me from feeling the guilt..Everything you said is so true. And what hurt me the MOST was that not only would I always try to avoid making him feel insecure, but I would always boost his confidence and tell him anything I could to make him realise just how amazing he is. And that was what I received in return. When he did that I just sighed and said "I'm done". And yes the book is just amazing. I am reading with my face like this: Ö Thank you by the way... it feels so good to be able to talk to someone about this. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 12/02/20 05:48 PM |

I am a pretty confident woman so his games never got under my skin as he hoped they would... but I would get upset that he was even trying to hurt me in the first place. I've had many opportunities where people would try to flirt with me and I would: Diffuse the situation immediately and show zero interest. Never use it as a way to make him feel jealous or unsafe in being with me to benefit myself. Anyways, I am actually already reading it!
