Red Flags

Let's take a tour through Issy's life:

On your mark, get set go!

- Tells you they're moving to Asia the next day instead of breaking up with you normally
- Is not Asian and still lives with parents who are not moving to Asia
- Drives around near your house in their brown car the next day and for weeks afterward
- You keep a diary but you're afraid to read old entries because it's all bad about them
- You have "boyfriend secrets" or things you wouldn't want other people to know about them
- You ask them to tell you five random facts about your life, and they can't
- They have one view of who you are and who you should be
- Gifts are way too lavish (love-bombing) or way too lame (forgotten)
- You feel like all your disagreements are about the same thing(s) but they never resolve
- He locks your children out of your home so he can whack off with them banging on windows
- He locks your child in their bedroom by turning the doorknob around backward
- He laughs while child tries to break down the door by hitting it with the air vent cover
- He damages your children's property and blames them or even mocks them for it
- He tells your children about overhearing bullies who hate them, who don't really exist
- He tells your children there are bogeymen in the closet or following them around
- He turns off the hot water when your kids get in the shower without telling them
- Then he makes fun of your kids and mimics them for being cold or complaining
- He steals the money out of your kids' birthday cards and blames them for losing it
- He returns some of their things to the store without a receipt, and keeps the money
- He blames your kids for losing those things
- He pawns your kids' electronics at a pawn shop and blames them for losing them
- He pours grape drink in your child's X-Box and blames him
- He makes you sleep on the floor in the house you own, and locks himself in your bedroom
- He wants sex workers for his birthday
- He forgets how to spell your name, what your last name is, or what your phone # is
- He lives in his mother's house but says "she lives with me"
- He gets drunk and hits a cyclist but blames the cyclist
- He lies and keeps secrets, and when caught says "but I didn't want to hurt you ..."

- He locks your children out of your home so he can whack off with them banging on windows

^ Who would be in a relationship with a such low lunatic absolute jerk?

Please don’t tell me he is not in jail yet.

I'm not sure if that's intended to be empathy, victim-blaming, or gaslighting. ^

Lots of people are in relationships with "absolute jerks", because they're trapped by systemic corruption.
It's called domestic violence because people cannot escape their own homes, or family court laws.
Relationships clearly don't begin like this, except in rare circumstances.
They usually begin with groomers and predators who deceive us for their own gain.

I haven't shared even 1% of what I've experienced.
Being autistic makes it especially difficult to get help.

Also, that list describes three different abusers, not just one.







Half a million dollars of court fees later and no, he's not in jail.
He's confined in psychiatric care.

If I could, I would do things very differently now, but I can’t go back and change anything because funeralx is borrowing the time machine that I keep in my garage.

Not giving back your time machine seems like a serious red flag.

I often forget that people can wear masks very effectively, a partner is indeed like gift box chocolate, one can’t tell what filling it has before biting it, it can be full of s**t.

Thanks.

The first one / husband I was very young when we met. He was a great boyfriend actually, for several years. Then it just turned out he wanted the house and kept suing me for 25 years.

Second one - Yeah, I got scammed from Day 1 but I was so needy with three little kids I took his affection at face value.

Third - We were really good friends for a long time and we're still in contact now, but with boundaries.

The "moving to Asia" guy was someone I dated for like two months, who doesn't even count on the radar but I think it's a funny story.

I’d prefer not getting involved in your parents’ sex life.
