Just wanted to say I'm sorry this is a struggle for you. If the universe was kinder it wouldn't make taking your necessary meds also the trigger for your substance abuse struggle.

I'm a long term prescription pain medication patient. At one point I was using a crazy amount a day, all as prescribed (Drs were just trying to keep me from losing my mind after ending up with 24/7 migraines following a stroke). I know how blessed I am that I was able to make the decision to reduce the meds and then do it without my brain and body chemistry working against me at every step. I'm sorry you don't have that luck. But I believe you can find an answer.

I do agree that your Dr needs to know. And I hope she can help you find an effective med that isn't such a siren call to you. GL <3

be aware that a whole lot of meds for depression will basically wave your libido byebye. I'm female, but being on anti-depressants killed my sex drive dead, and I was told oh yeah sorry that's normal, but you feel better right! No. No, I do not feel better now that I'm a totally frigid bitch thanks. I stopped taking the meds.

that was long ago, and now I'm aware that what I should have done was ask to try a different med and keep trying until we found one that didn't do that to me, but at the time my therapist genuinely did not give a shit and just kept telling me that's normal and not considering it a problem.

Did you not even read the story or?

The concept she is upset about is that he paraded her in front of her, while she was discreet about it (while still being open) to help avoid him from being jealous/insecure. Even without the concept that he did an abuser manipulation on her, he's already being gross about it.

She didn't have a problem with him fucking someone, she had a problem with it happening in front of her, and she lived by the same standards.

Concept of story: They agreed to polyamory, she was discreet with it to keep him from getting insecure, he got insecure and small dick about it anyway, hired an escort to abuser style manipulate her like a sociopath, she felt uncomfy about how he was parading the girl in front of her, fell for the abuser manipulation tactics, had an emotional argument, and then agreed to monogamy.

That's what happened.

You're defending this

You're defending this because you relate more to the abuser than the victim, you're an insecure guy who thinks he got his revenge or something, you're incel asf.
