And he is no longer allowed in the bar he previously frequented! I love going out with my friends on weekends but lived in a constant state of anxiety that I would run into him, and occasionally did. We had a lot of mutual friends and he worked hard to create the image that he was such a great guy who would never hurt anyone. It was really alienating to suffer in silence knowing that if I told anyone, I ran the risk of them not believing me, labeling me as dramatic, hearing a different story from him, and cutting me off. My friend is a bartender, and not only believed me, but has banned him from the establishment, and I think this is the first step in me finally telling the rest of my friends the truth and shutting him out of my life for good, without the cloud of anxiety about him following me around.
I initially found FDS through my ex, who showed me the subreddit to make fun of it. I quietly began reading every day and finally was able to work up the courage to leave him for good and work on leveling myself up, so I’m eternally grateful to FDS.
Is that your picture in your profile? Remove it so scrotes don't find you irl
I love this for you 👏
This is really validating. I recently lost a whole friend group after filing a restraining order against an ex when his mask slipped and he wanted to frighten me. Im not sure what he said to them about me, and it really sucked. But it was still an instance of the trash taking itself out. Even though I wasn’t stood up for by a lot of friends, the ones who did stick by me meant all the more, and I think it is always a good practice to stand up for ourselves and warn other women of potential predators or just assholes.
I'm so glad you've been able to make progress and take the first steps in being able to live your life without stress, anxiety or fear ❤️ I hope things only continue to get better for you and I'm glad you found us!
I'm telling you, the negative publicity drives so much traffic. Women see the absolute vitriol and want to see if it's as bad as the screeching men say it is. But then it's totally relatable and they stay lol. I heard FDS deletion reached r/all the other day so maybe ordinary women who never heard of it will come check it out on Instagram, website...
