Wrong conclusion. We've come from hitting someone to abuse, not the same. Abuse is hitting someone repeatedly, over a longer time span, hitting someone once isin't necessarily abuse. You don't need to tell me that it is wrong, I'm not 5. Consider the person you're talking to is resonable if you want to be treated as someone resonable yourself.

Terrible. I'm so sorry.

However, this is not a sentence to live by. Anyone would get trust issues from what happened to you, but I hope you get the help needed to work through it.

I’m so sorry to hear this happened to you. Feels like so much time wasted, so much energy and love wasted on someone who never deserved it.

Although they appear happy together currently, I can bet money on her doing the exact same thing to him too. You weren’t the first person she did it to and definitely won’t be the last. They both betrayed you, it’s bad enough just one doing that to you but having both at the same time is enough to burn anyones mental health down to the ground.

Your ‘best friend’ will get a visit from Karma. He did that to you knowing how much it’d hurt you, but she won’t stay loyal to him, the same thing she did for her ex and for you. He will lose in the end, he’ll lose her to someone else and he will have lost your friendship.

You will recover and I hope can look back on this situation and feel no pain. I hope you heal and be at peace, and know that maybe it was for the best in the end.

I don't see this as a fuck up. Honestly I don't think this poor mans feelings should end up on TV.

I mean you obviously failed to record, but this ain't the fucked up thing. Selling and broadcasting sensitive and heartbreaking moments like this is just inhuman

What's alarming to me is that a lot of the commenters don't believe OP's behavior is disproportionate. I mean, his story might be true or it might be a karma farm (though it's more likely that it's true), the commenters most likely mean what they say.

Makes me think a lot more people (than I initially believed) are just one cheating incident away from snapping and murdering their SO before taking themselves out. Not that I condone cheating, I think it's one of the vilest things one can do to a partner and it's way too common (and even normal in some circles) for how horrible it is but let's not pretend getting this worked up over a failed relationship is how a mentally healthy human reacts.

OP needs serious therapy for some underlying issues that were merely triggered by this incident and based on this glimpse into his mind, I wouldn't be surprised if he was diagnosed with borderline personality disorder or something similar.

Shit happens. And I'd argue you actually did well, unknowingly.

I personally hate how reality TV preys and broadcasts the low point of the contestants for views. To me this is emotionally abusive.

Especially the making him sad part had me irked.

That guy will be thankful in a couple of years.

I think your intention is in the right place but with the context of the story your grand generalizations are causing the downvotes. Calling him crazy and implying he’s insane is not correct. He’s clearly an inexperienced young man that was dealing with an expert narcissist and manipulator, likely with her own issues she takes out on other people. My first girlfriend in high school was very much like this; too many stories to count. Many of us can look back and kick ourselves for the times we allowed ourselves to be used and/or abused. Hopefully OP is getting the help he needs because the suicide attempts and self harm over a breakup point to bigger issues.

>You’re mistaking it for a spouse.

Probably, yeah.

>And u don’t need to be married to not suffer abuse.

That was not my point. It is self evident that hitting is not okay. Yet I see it being trumpeted as if everyone is 5.

My point is, no matter how wrong something is, under certain circumstances people will do things that are wrong. There's no denying that. But I guess you already know that.

Either most people or a boisterous minority are not fully aware of what potential for evil lies within them, which under certain circumstances would materialize. Unless you've properly integrated the inner shadow, then it's safe to consider yourself a loaded weapon. If you don't integrate that side of yourself, then you will (if aren't already) absolutely (during your lifetime) harm someone (either physically or mentally).

Crimes against humanity were committed by people, guess what you, I and the other 8 billion are.
