This is impossible to follow... and the fact that you are revealing personal texts is horribly revealing as to your sincerity in whatever relationship you think you have. This is unforgivable.

@MarkPaul This is actually what is called Circular arguments. Basically this is a form of abuse and she’s simply asking for help. So you think she should hide it instead. At least she’s hidden names so this person doesn’t get embarrassed so she can figure out what to do.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@Benjr134 That is minuscule consolation. You don't share confidential relationship conversations. And, if she was genuinely interested in getting help from random strangers on the Internet, she could have the decency to simply explain the situation without sharing the actual text messages. Tbh, you and her should be ashamed of yourselves. If I was her guy, I would never trust her again.

@MarkPaul Really!? You don’t share abusive conversation? I bet you’re the type of person that if a man hits a woman, she should keep it to herself as well. Not inform anyone. Maybe put a little make up on it. Just so as no one knows. Keep it under the carpet. I know you’re simply going to say that this isn’t the same thing. How do we know that doesn’t happen and this is her discrete way of getting help? Showing the lighter side of the ugliness. The only reason I’m saying is because I’ve seen it happen to a friend. She mentioned same conversational things. Not letting us know about the actual abuse and she’s actually dead now because we didn’t listen and brushed her off. Made excuses like this is personal stuff.

@Benjr134 Let's test your logic and let's assume your asinine assumption that based on these text messages the other person is beating the shit out of her (even though she gave us no indication of this whatsoever). So, with her anonymous screen name and blocking out the other person's name let's help her. Now... how do we send her the help she needs?

@MarkPaul Gives her options or maybe the confidence to do something. But let’s talk about asinine opinions. This isn’t your relationship. This has nothing to do with you yet you’re saying this shouldn’t be done. You’re making assumptions as well. You’re thinking that this is a logical conversation. Most people when upset send a text and still wait for a response. This is not a logical conversation. There is something wrong. I’m not even saying the person is bad. I’m simply saying that she needs to look out for herself. If she can help them then great.

@MarkPaul Lol. You talk like SW is going viral already. I'd be surprised if % 0.0000001 of the world's population knows it exists.

On a serious note, if you check out her profile you can see that she explained everything weeks ago without having to share the actual texts.

She asks random strangers because she wants them to knock some sense into her. Abusive relationships do that to people. They make them doubt their own sanity. She wants affirmation that she is not exaggerating or imagining things.

@SW-User I just think the guy has rights too and that a personal relationship should be between those IN the relationship. And, if there is abuse or physical violence involved, posting here is of zero use. IF there is abuse, she should report the problem so the abuser and the abuse can be stopped.
SW-User
Sharing is not enough of course. Yet it's definitely not of zero use. People online can offer emotional and mental support. It can be empowering. Besides, somebody who has been in a similar situation could give helpful tips.

Anyhow she hid the name.
The screenshots are more like a way to present 'raw' data. By posting someone's own words the poster is not imparting their own perception onto the situation. The readers can judge for themselves.

@SW-User If this was done to me, I would be pissed and would have no motivation to repair the relationship. In fact, I would probably just bail because I would have zero trust in her. There is usually 2-sides to every story and I don't think it's reasonable to simply assume he's an abuser because he's trying to build a career.

Probably your reaction to the situation is all she needs from that person. To be left alone.

@SW-User Stop being a man-hater.
SW-User
@MarkPaul More like, stop being a woman hater.
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@SW-User I don't hate women. You seem to have a chip on your shoulder about men.
SW-User
Yes you surely don't hate women. I am so convinced.

@MarkPaul
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@SW-User I think you're being condescending, bitter, and hateful.
SW-User
That's just you projecting your own complex issues and insecurities onto random women 👋🏼

@MarkPaul
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@SW-User No... that's a clear and direct assessment of your behaviour. Period.

Lolz whatever you say @MarkPaul
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@SW-User What is your problem, dude?
SW-User
@MarkPaul No hay problema señorita
MarkPaul · 26-30, M
@SW-User Bien, niñita.
