“Grease”
I’m nearing 50, and “Grease” is one of the seminal movies for women of my generation. I absolutely despise every single thing about that movie. I did not have the words for why I hated it so much when I was growing up, but everything about it felt wrong to me.
I run into a lot of women around my age who are massive fans of the movie. It’s not a deal breaker for me; I’ll be friends with most women because my philosophy is “chicks over dicks”.
Does anyone else run into the same problem? If you like the movie, what am I getting wrong?
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.
