I was then pressured by my parents to marry this "nice young man" who used this as the first manipulation in a series of many. So not only was I pressured by him to marry, long before I was ready, now I was getting it from my family, who I didn't even want involved in this because it isn't their fucking decision. Oh look, then he traps me into getting pregnant and then I pretty much have to marry him. Those of you who have not been in a controlling relationship have no fucking idea what I went through. And then I was made to look like the bad guy (as I am in this very thread) when it was a very real issue of him actually taking away my autonomy. This isn't just misplaced social justice warrior-ism. I literally lost my personal freedom to a controlling asshole.
The manipulation and emotional abuse didn't stop there, it continued for quite awhile until he actually hit me. That's when I saw everything clearly, and it all made sense. He'd done everything a certain way to isolate me from my family (not that we were close, but they were there to support me regardless), my friends, my finances, and my freedom. I had to call my father up, crying, and beg him to come get me. I was gone in less than a month.
So yes, when I look at someone going through my phone and getting a phone number for someone I didn't give him permission to contact, it looks like an extreme violation of trust and privacy. Both of which I am entitled to have in an adult relationship.
So fuck the lot of your for judging me. None of you have lived my life nor do you know what the fuck I've been through. This is the absolute last word I will say on this subject.
Annnnnd fuck you.
