I tried hard to become what my boyfriend likes, including my body shape, but I lost myself🤡💔

I never thought I’d be the girl questioning her own reality, but here I am. My boyfriend, who once made me feel safe and loved, started pushing me toward plastic surgery, making me doubt my own body. At first, I thought maybe I was just insecure, but my friends helped me see he was planting those seeds. The final blow? He lied about going to a party—said he was at mine, but everyone knew he was at Lucy’s, the girl he’s weirdly obsessed with. When I confronted him, he flipped it on me, calling me jealous. I tried to break up, but he acted like it didn’t even register. Now I’m left blocking him, feeling angry, confused, and so damn annoyed. Why do we cross lines, snoop, and question each other’s loyalty? How do you ever rebuild trust after it’s shattered? I’m venting to you because I just need someone to get it. Ever been here? What would you do? 😤🤯🤡 #TrustIssues #RelationshipDrama #Gaslighting #MovingOn #Infidelity #RomanticRelationships

When Your Own Parent Makes You Doubt Yourself—Is That Love? 🤔

Growing up in a small town, I always thought family meant safety. But when my mom would say, "You’re too sensitive," after calling me names, I started to question my own feelings. She’d change the rules—one day I could stay out until 10, the next she’d claim it was 9. I’d come home on time, but somehow, I was always wrong. I tried to defend myself, but every conversation turned into a maze of denial and blame. I started keeping a journal, just to remind myself what really happened. Sometimes, I’d lock my door or spend extra hours at the library, just to breathe. My friends became my lifeline, reminding me I wasn’t crazy. Have you ever felt like your reality was being rewritten by someone you love? If you have, I’d love to hear your story. Maybe together, we can find a way to heal. 💬 #FamilyStruggles #Gaslighting #MentalHealth #ParentChildRelationship #FamilyRelationships

My husband only cares about me making more money and doesn't care about my stress

We just moved into this massive house, and suddenly every penny matters. I’m torn between two jobs—one pays more but would eat me alive, the other pays less but lets me breathe. I told my husband I wanted the less stressful one, and he shot me down, saying we couldn’t afford it. Last night, he acts like he never said that and even wonders why I haven’t applied! When I remind him, he gets defensive and swears he’d never stop me from doing what I want. This isn’t a one-off—he forgets things with the kids, with our friends, and always denies it. Am I losing my mind? Is he gaslighting me, or does he really just forget everything? I’m so frustrated and honestly starting to doubt myself. What would you do if you were in my shoes? 😤🤯 #MarriageConflicts #FinancialStress #Gaslighting #RelationshipAdvice #RomanticRelationships

I almost lost my job because of my stupid boyfriend 😤🤦‍♀️

I never thought my boyfriend would be the reason I almost lost my job. Working from home in New York, I handle sensitive client files—strictly confidential stuff. One day, HR called me in, accusing me of accessing a file I’d never heard of. Turns out, my boyfriend used my work computer to snoop on a file for his so-called 'friend,' Lindsay. His name was on her file, and I was left speechless, angry, and humiliated. He blamed me for having a password he could guess, totally ignoring how he crossed a line. Now, I’m stuck working in a lonely office, barely speaking to him except about our daughter. I feel betrayed and gaslit—like I’m the villain for his mistake. How do you rebuild trust after something like this? Have you ever felt so violated by someone you loved? Please, tell me I’m not alone in this mess. 😩🙃🤬 #TrustIssues #RelationshipDrama #WorkLife #Betrayal #Gaslighting #RomanticRelationships

Concerned about my son’s relationship: manipulation or just a phase?​

My 18-year-old son has been dating his girlfriend for about a year, and I’ve started to notice some concerning behavior. Recently, I saw her WhatsApp messages to him, and I’m worried she might be manipulating or gaslighting him. For example, when he casually mentioned enjoying some independence, she guilt-tripped him, saying she doesn’t like being apart and doesn’t like the idea of them being “two separate individuals.” When he defended his need for space, she called him rude and said she doesn’t like individuality. I’m torn—should I talk to him about this? I don’t want to overstep or make him defensive, but I’m genuinely concerned. Is this normal relationship behavior, or is it a red flag? #Parenting #TeenRelationships #Manipulation #Gaslighting #HealthyBoundaries #RomanticRelationships

is it honesty or emotional blackmail when he says this?

Been dating this guy for a few months and while most things are great, one pattern is seriously messing with my head. Every time I say something he doesn’t like, he disappears for a few days, then calls me up and says something like “if this keeps happening, I’ll have to break up with you.” It’s not like I’m yelling or being rude—last time it happened, I told him I was grabbing brunch with a friend who was going through a tough time. We had no plans, but he still said I made him feel like he’s not a priority. Then came the usual silent treatment + breakup threat combo. When I finally brought up how this behavior makes me feel unsafe, he told me I’m just “too sensitive” and not emotionally intelligent enough to get where he’s coming from. Am I being gaslit here? Or am I just overreacting? #toxicrelationships #relationshipadvice #gaslighting
