Animals are pretty damn amazing! I'd like a circle where we can share animal pics, articles, documentaries, videos. Pets, livestock or wildlife - bird, insect, mammal, fish - humorous, educational, serious - as long as it involves an animal, anything goes.
At the moment people have to post these random things on o/Women, or use the 'Nature' flair on o/STEM. It's a bit awkward not having a proper place.
Gaslighting doesn't usually go from 0-100 in a week. It's a slow process that escalates, like the frog in a pot of boiling water. It's often really, really hard to see. The good thing is that you've seen it and now you know what it's like and hopefully you can avoid men like this in the future. Take care of yourself.
Thanks. I feel like shit lol. At least I'm mad now and don't have to pine over him because it wasn't real.
Please don't beat yourself up over this. It's so easy to fall for this crap. Abusive, manipulative men are so good at what they do. Chalk it up as a lesson learned so you never have to experience this again.
