Welcome to o/Movies!
This is a circle for discussion of films. We invite and support civil, open discussion of all genres. Talk about a film you saw recently, a great (or terrible!) review, or your favorite director. Casual opinions are welcome, as are serious debates about film theory.
We do not prohibit any films, and we welcome constructive discussion about films that have controversial or difficult content (however, we expect that you follow the Ovarit Rules and Guidelines). We understand that some people may find specific works or genres to be distasteful or triggering to them personally, while others may enjoy talking about them, or consider them to have artistic merit. We ask that you exercise common sense with regards to what you choose to participate in, and why.
Tag your posts with the appropriate flair, and use the NSFW tag if appropriate. If your post contains spoilers about the plot of a recent film, please mention that in the title. Spoilers are not required for older films, films that are well-known, or films that have a broad cultural significance. You can tag any spoilers using >! word !<
. For example, >! test !<

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.
