RantI found out my bf (at the time) is a pedophile
I had been with him almost 5 years when I found the CSAM pictures on his phone. That was a bit more than 2 years ago. I looked through his phone one night while he was asleep (the only time that I had done that). I took photos with my phone as evidence and left the apartment. He never even noticed.
I made a police report two days later. Covid back then was still a concern so I had to find a way to make an online police report. I had originally wanted to make an in-person report, but that wasn't possible. It was only online. As I was making the report and going through the evidence I had, I found more and more heinous things. My report was a mess but I got through it. I was called in to make a statement in-person two days after the online report.
Long story short: his place got raided and his electronic devices confiscated. His parents saw all of it. His mother blamed me for not telling her first. My ex ended up getting probation for 1 year. The police confirmed it to me that he did have CSAM.
I don't even know why I'm writing this. I've been wanting to post my experience since it happened. I lost all of my closest friends because they told me that it was not big deal, and I didn't accept that. I've made other friends since then, and they agree that I made the right choice by reporting him.
I don't know. I've been SA before. By my dad too. But this kind of betrayal I have a hard time processing. I went to a therapist too. It just feels fucked to me that we, as a society, are letting people like my ex walk free. I'm angry, I feel betrayed, I'm hurt.
Write "I'M A GIRL I'M A GIRL I'M A GIRL" in huge letters in dripping red paint all over the walls.
I can’t understand the obsession tips have with femininity/masculinity. Most people just decorate their rooms with things they like, regardless of whether it’s feminine/masculine.
That room is completely generic. Try getting a fucking personality, Greg
I was gonna say, that's the most teenage boy/young adult man room ever, but young men are pretty generic. All that talk about "men need personalities unlike women so they develop them young" but then they can't make a non-stereotypical decision to save their life.
Looks like he has heartstopper on his bookshelf too. Gay male transgender? Pity he bought the trans hype.
Incels are ruining indoor plants purely by association (even with plastic ones like here).
NGL, this is the tidiest room inhabited by a TIM I've ever seen in my life, by a wide margin. Most of them look like the dumpster that's shared between a Game Stop and a Taco Bell.
Notice you only see a tiny bit of the room. I would bet money there's a reason he isn't showing the complete pic.
Bright pink glitter. Slather it across your walls.
I mix clear glitter into my menstrual blood to make organic paint. My walls are AMAZING but I'm definitely not getting my security deposit back
I use a mixture of rainbow glitter and silver.
I thought being a woman was an inherent feeling, deep down in one’s soul- so much so that these men “just know” that they’re women from childhood.
The giant whale stuffed animal 😂 why do they love that so much.
My kid saw that whale in ikea the other day and fell in love with it.
I had to very quickly nope that idea and steer him towards the polar bears. I hate that they have ruined an innocent and very cute toy.
I would've gotten it just out of spite
Ugh, I looked at that photo and the only thing that could improve that is fire, and plenty of it.
Their lairs are always so gross and smelly-looking. Even with the ones that don't seem that bad, like this one, you only have to scratch the surface to reach nightmare material.
Use a garter belt to hang a light from the ceiling. Mount some tasseled boobies from plaques on the wall, taxidermy-style (fake is fine, but maybe you have a TIF friend).
Move out so that your mom can use it as a hobby room
This is the best, & correct, answer
