I once got threatened with a lawsuit because a fanfic I wrote had someone's name in it.

Seriously.

Well, 'seriously' as in "I received an email from what I found out through my research was a legitimate law firm", but I doubt I would have gotten sued. Apparently, this person had an uncommon name (which I had coincidentally just thought up) and the site that hosted my stories was popular enough that my fic showed up on the first page of the Google search, so they were concerned about someone seeing that (the character was a criminal in my story).

So I had to hurriedly write to the host and notifiy them, along with sending an edited version of the story with a different name. That one didn't get noticed, apparently.

Please just talk to him. Talk! Just chat anytime anything upsets you. Get it out of the system. Nip it in the bud before it becomes a big oozing festering blister. I had a chat with my husband early on after we had our first baby. 3 kids later, he’s the star from 5pm-8pm, Monday through Friday!

while im sure family engagement and support would be a positive thing in most psych cases, you cant cast the same die for everyone.

kow-towing to the will of my parents in this case was far more depressing than not: I moved back into a hoarder house with moral high-horsers on a dose of medication so heavy I could barely get out of bed.

I much prefer an esoteric existence where I preach how big pharma was originally created to boost rockerfeller petroleum assets, and openly proclaim to know how an x ray feels.

I’d make a date with him and sit him down and tell him how truly sorry you are that you sorry you said those hurtful words. And you hope he would forgive you. It’s about all you can do if you are sincere and ask him if there is anything else you can do to make it up with him. Other than to tell him what a good husband and father would be great. Admit your faults and praise the great things he has done for the family. Good luck Let me know how it turns out

Hey, I had a similar experience except mine sounded a bit more like Nick's World. Mine includes getting tackled naked by six cops, but thankfully it wasn't so public lol Glad you're okay. I saw people I know and spoke in metaphors that sounded completely asinine to anyone sober before breaking a mirror and saying I was going to cut my dick off after jonesing for sex and control all night. Nowadays, I play it pretty chill, and am focused on actually controlling my life, and more importantly myself. I love this ego, and want to retain it, but I'm learning and getting stronger. Ive always been an empath, whatever that means, so the real goal is to stay grounded for this lofty mind. Figure out what you most from life, and you can start taking the steps to get there.

There is always gonna be the lack of trust now.

The fact she said she "cheated" but then changed and said, "assaulted."

She was lying when she said at least one of those things, and people dont generally lie to make themselves look like a cheater.

If she was assaulted, has she reported it? From reading your post, I doubt it.

There's a lot more to situations like this than can be articulated in a post on Reddit.

I just personally feel from reading your post, that you'll always have that "blood run cold" feeling pop up, the trust is gone and its the foundation of a healthy relationship.

If it were me, at 20 years old, I'd be dust mate.

I don't think you FU by seeing the contact. But one thing is unclear from your story - was she assaulted by the guy or did she cheat willingly?

If you asked her why he's in the top list what would she say? The thing is if you have to keep her in check all the time, she's probably not serious about the relationship you guys have. You should find someone worthy of your time.
