| 11 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSRight?! Just let me go dude, this ain’t working for either of us. Just shows how little they know themselves. Good luck out there sis! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/22 02:57 PM |
| 13 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSExactly! His horrific experience quickly became a reason why he could lash out at me or why my most recent mistake (in his eyes) was especially egregious. “Well you haven’t experienced this yet…” “I just went through this blah blah blah”. He definitely had narcissistic tendencies looking back. Just add them to the list of things to avoid in the future! Thank you for taking the time to respond! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/22 02:55 PM |
| 13 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSThe next time I see or hear any mention of those guys I’m out LOL. Thank you for the support and for responding! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/22 02:53 PM |
| 48 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSYou’re completely right. I became his emotional punching bag over time and I felt incredulous as it was happening. A slow burn for sure. Now I know that it’s not a temporary thing linked to the circumstances but rather a moral failure on his part. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/22 02:52 PM |
| 42 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSExactly! It truly felt like a lightbulb moment where I just said to myself "I can't do this anymore. I deserve better." And from there it was like I wasn't in control, I was just floating through the world and I just did what I had to do to get out of there. We are the only people who will truly ever look out for us. It is a lesson I am learning again and again as I get older. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 23/04/22 04:32 AM |
| 19 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSThank you for your kindness sis! It’s hard out there, take care of yourself. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 11:19 PM |
| 111 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSI blocked him and have removed everyone affiliated him from my social media (he didn’t have a social media presence). Block and delete! I definitely agree about going to his place, I wouldn’t have done it there if my mom wasn’t waiting outside. Will not be repeating that choice again. I appreciate the reminder and for your support! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 11:08 PM |
| 15 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSMe too, me too. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 11:04 PM |
| 30 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSEverything you said is completely on point! And to think he was in some ways the least LV man I’ve dated. Or maybe he was just better at hiding it for longer, who knows. I still have so much to learn and so far to go. Thank you for your kindness! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 09:02 PM |
| 134 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSThat’s one of the things that infuriates me! I was so clear from the beginning but it just turned into another way I was not doing or being enough for him. Screw me for thinking that being open and honest about such a huge dealbreaker would mean the other person would engage with me similarly SMH. I will definitely be more careful in vetting around this in the future. Thank you for your response and support! It really means so much knowing I have understanding communities in FDS and childfree. | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 09:00 PM |
| 73 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSI do think he was masking/breadcrumbing for quite a while. It’s really true that some of the most insidious behaviors start as small moments and comments and you really have to listen for them and to trust your gut. I also definitely did not care at all if he was bi! I would date a bi person in a heartbeat. It was the use of it as a reason to open the relationship that pissed me off. I’m lucky to have some great girlfriends and therapist so I’m hopeful for my recovery. Thank you again for your k… | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 08:58 PM |
| 147 | I ended my relationship - A cautionary tale to ALWAYS VET and ALWAYS FOLLOW FDS STANDARDSYou’re completely right. I thought those were HV since they aligned with FDS and it was sadly much different from the experience I had in dating up till then. Looking back, I recognize those are bare minimum behaviors and do not make someone HV. I’ll be remembering that as I continue in my FDS journey. Thank you for the support! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 22/04/22 08:37 PM |
| 133 | “I do that with all my friends”I think it's satire but there are definitely (a significant amount of) dudes that think this way! | /r/FemaleDatingStrategy | 17/02/21 10:46 PM |
