ugh...

One of my best friends (named "she" here), just started a blog a while ago. It was really gaining surprising popularity in very short time, getting mentions on some big name blogs. Hers was actually a great blog, but there was a catch.

She was hiding it from her boyfriend.

You see, he's extremely possessive, and this was kind of her way to have something all her own. As a part of her expression, she was posting pictures of herself, and they were getting more and more risqué. I was worried that her boyfriend would find it, because from what I've seen, he can be emotionally abusive, blaming her for any problem in their relationship, saying that he can't trust her (when I know he has no reason not to). Well, the latest mention she got on a big blog mentioned a particularily risqué pic (that I haven't seen - don't really want/need to). I clicked the link (I was going to head to her blog anyways), and her blog is down, with a simple but clear message that she took it down.

I'm almost certain that he's found it, and guilted her into taking it down. Probably yelled at her. I don't think he's ever gotten physically violent with her, but this whole thing is making my blood boil. She had e-mailed me earlier (probably before any of this happened), asking if I wanted to go with a group of people to see Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. I called her just now to see if the plans were still on, but she wasn't there. Her dad said that she was out to dinner with her boyfriend. Her cell is turned off.

I'm really pretty worried here. I know that if he's getting on her about having a blog, and keeping it secret from him (not to mention the blog's content), she won't stand up for herself. I was hoping that myself and some others would be able to back her up first, give her a little support if he found out. But now all I can picture is her alone with him, and him making her feel like complete shit.

She's nearly broken up with him before, with the support of all her friends. But he wouldn't leave her alone, crying and begging her to take him back, so she got back together with him. Everything's been fine since then, until now.

I could be over reacting. Maybe she just thought the blog was getting a little too popular, and she didn't want him to find it, so she took it down for a bit.

But something tells me he found out and he's pissed.

I just really hope she's okay.

I want to e-mail her about it, but he's gotten into her e-mail before and read them (see: possessive), and I don't want him to find out about the blog from me if he hasn't already.

Anyways, I just needed to vent here. Thanks for reading/skipping past my post.

But... You're Nikki!

That's like ... well that's like you applying for a job! There's just nothing else that compares!

:wtf:

Hehe, just kidding. Congrats! :mrgreen:

Just keep in mind that if you get the job, you might not be able to read every word posted on the board! That's hard when you're not on the CM 23 hours of the day.

So, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is being pulled off the store shelves and is being given a "Adults Only" rating. Why? Sexual Content.

I've been in the "friend of girl with crazy possesive boyfriend" situation before. Although, hopefully this guy isn't as bad as the one I'm thinking about (when he got really desperate he started threatening to tell her mother she smoked weed, and beat up any future boyfriends.)
It's really frustrating, because as much advice and support you give them, really it's just down to the person and when they can finally see that enough is enough, which for some people is far too long.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 7/21/2005, 6:56 pm

Exactly. He talks about marrying her, and it's clear to me that she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life with him (when I asked, she said she wasn't sure, and changed the subject). I don't want to see that happen. I have visions of seeing her bruised (I don't know if he'd ever go that far. I hope he wouldn't). I don't know what I'd do. I've never been a violent person, but I swear to god if I got my hands on him...

Okay, I need to stop. I'm getting all worked up and I don't even know if he's found the blog. And nothing physical has happened yet. I just need to calm down and wait until I can find out from her what's going on.

I don't mean to bud in where I don't belong Rob, but he does sound abusive. It's not going to be getting either, it might be good if you voiced your concerns to your friend, because if he really is abusive, he's going to try and remove you from her life among other things.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 7/21/2005, 7:14 pm

Yeah. She got "in trouble" one time for hanging out with me and not telling him beforehand. Mainly because it was just the two of us.

Myself and others have tried talking to her about it, and like I said, we actually convinced her to break up with him.

I don't know, it may not be as bad as it seems, but damn it she deserves better than what I've seen from him. No matter how good he is otherwise, she shouldn't put up with his shit.

AnnieDreams · Post by **AnnieDreams** » 7/21/2005, 7:16 pm

Yeah, I know that story. Above mentioned possesive boyfriend of a friend of mine tried to make her stop seeing me. Luckily it didn't work.
But, being possesive and emotionally abusive doesn't always cross over. A lot of guys can be horrible and completely morally inept, but still would never hit a girl.

Rusty · Post by **Rusty** » 7/21/2005, 7:18 pm

I think the statistic is something like somone in an abusive relationship will go back on average 3 or 5 times. Nobody should have to deal with shit like that. She shouldn't be "in trouble" for hanging out with you either. I hate people like that.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 7/21/2005, 7:21 pm

A lot of guys can be horrible and completely morally inept, but still would never hit a girl.

I'm thinking that may be the case with him. I mean, he's a nice guy. But he's horribly insecure, and that's manifesting itself in abusive tendencies.

Rusty · Post by **Rusty** » 7/21/2005, 7:23 pm

Ahh. Well there are more types of abuse than just physical still.

Axtech · Post by **Axtech** » 7/21/2005, 7:26 pm

Yeah. I'm not saying it's acceptable at all. But I don't want to accuse the guy of doing more than he has.

Rusty · Post by **Rusty** » 7/21/2005, 7:28 pm

That wouldn't be good. At least she has a good friend to look out for her though.
