Yeah I don’t get why you’re wanting to force her to tell this ex. She’s messy as fuck and you should just move on. The ex is probably just smashing only because she’s as crazy as you just found out she is BUT he already knew that! Leave it alone! Move on!

I’ve been cheated on before and it sucks. I didn’t feel right sitting on knowledge that could help someone make an informed decision. Also she’s the one that brought me into the situation unwillingly through lies and manipulation.

I didn’t force her to do anything. I gave her the opportunity to talk to him first before I shared information that I have every right to share.

Dude, you utterly can't handle yourself in a fight, you just think you can. And this reads more like somebody who watches martial arts instead of actually doing them.

throat punches are way too dangerous to use unless you are in serious danger. I use them, because I'm the 130 pound dude dealing with a much bigger guy, and I make certain witness see him throw the first punch. And, even then, I pull it, by using the web between thumb and hand.

And, kicks to the knee are super easy to pull off. It's why they are banned in sparring and tournaments. for somebody with tae kwon do training, leaving yourself wide open to a beginner kick is pretty sad.

I'm about your age and I've been violent like this all my life. Outbursts feel so satisfying in the moment, but the guilt afterwards is crushing. I'm in therapy now and making progress. Good luck working on your problems. We got this!

Good to know— we give these therapists power to diagnose us and give advice, and we PAY them for this.

This isn’t the first time I’ve been privy to a therapist or mental health practitioner with either serious integrity issues and or emotional issues themselves.

It’s gross to think of sending a vulnerable person to be in the « care » of someone like that.

Leave. Save the lady that you are with the pain of losing you and bits of herself later when you both figure out it is not going to work and that it never could no matter what each did. If you were committed, you wouldn't have looked at the other a second time. I don't mean to be harsh and I am not judging you.

As someone who was strung along for a decade with countless flings from the other party, I'd have preferred him to leave me in the beginning when there were doubts than the years I had spent thinking what can I do? How can I be better? I spent so much of my life with someone who never really did love me fully and neither of us are to blame. He wanted to, but he couldn't and eventually he found what he needed in another and that was our end. Save her and you from all that and leave.

3 other possibilities:

1.) It was one of those instinctual things where people respond similarly without thinking about what they heard (ex. Saying “you too” in response to things that don’t make sense when you think about it).

2.) He did misinterpret what you meant but he’s not actually interested and just said “same here” to be polite instead of rude (did he ask you for your number, snap, etc. after you said you checked him out? If not, this scenario could be the case). In this case, he might act like nothing happened the next time he comes to the pharmacy for his meds.

3.) He meant that, yes, he’s always checking himself out as well (man is really in love with himself).
