Relationship with my ex (storytime)
Hello fellow lemon 8 beautiful people. So I will take you all on a huge story line with me. This all started when I was 20 maybe 22. I’m not to sure, but I was attending college after high school. I was close with my cousin and we did everything together. I used to join this 3-d chat called Imvu. My cousin and I would get online and create an avatar to look like identical to us. So I went into a club and a guy was disrespecting me virtually. There he was seems like a nice guy who stood up for me. He was nice at first, and I mean he was a dj. He stayed with his dad and sometimes go by his grandma house. We exchanged phone numbers and there was an app called kik. Where you can text and not give out your number. So we met in person and it didn’t seem too bad right. So we started dating on imvu and in real life. I will keep the name unknown and use a different name. Do his name was dj and my name was Erica. We spent so much time together at first I met him at the mall and I met his family. So he was a dj who was on the radio. We talking via text a lot but I hated texting. So I had created a whole family on imvu so I can have people to hang out with. So imvu would eventually get very x rated where you would see nipples and penis. It was called ap and this was for adults only. So I got married on imvu had kids and everything. So I married the guy on imvu and the kicker he cheated on me with my imvu niece. So here’s more of the story so I went to his house and he went to my house one time. I worked at a daycare and I would visit him. This relationship seem very one sided and I was in college so I didn’t have time to visit him. I worked and I was tired so when I was off it was the weekend. So when I did go see him I couldn’t go in the house or he lied to his dad about me. So I would stay home at times when I didn’t want to visit him. I stay far away from him I had to take more than one bus to visit. So after a year of dating I met my best friend in person. I told him how things were going and It went horrible. I actually didn’t like how my life was going due to I was dating someone and I cheated on him with someone. This was actually virtually and not in person. So back to how I met my best friend this was 2016 of fall in Texas. It was cool and not too hot which this means you can wear shorts in 60s without being cold. So I met my best friend and we spent time together. One downside he was dating someone as well. Here’s a roller coaster for you so I was dating someone and he was dating someone. The women he was dating at the time didn’t want to leave home. We did everything together where he went I was with him. I cooked and cleaned for him. I wanted a better life and something new but we spent so much time together I broke up with my boyfriend. He was toxic and I treated him very well. It’s got so bad he wanted his stuff back and I didn’t give it back to him. I either threw it out or it was broken. So one day he was like okay, and he posted a video of me giving oral of him on instagram. That day I told the guy which was my best friend at the time. He wanted to fight the dude I told him it wasn’t worth it. I went to my ex boyfriend instagram page and deleted the video. I was going to delete his instagram but I was hurting so bad. I had panic attacks almost everyday and I couldn’t breathe. I was so torn and broken that he would do that to me. He was mad because I broke up with him. I couldn’t take it any more. If I didn’t answer the phone he would get angry and not talk to me. He would call me all the time and it was very controlling. I didn’t answer he would keep calling me and calling me. I just wanted to be left alone and not bothered by him👋🏾. I feel better now and one of my imvu family members told me he likes men now. #storytimecontest this story is not for the weak. So there is a disclaimer I didn’t use any one real name.
Relationships can be complex, especially when they start in online communities. Many people today find connections through social media and gaming platforms, which can lead to unique experiences, both positive and negative. From the excitement of meeting someone new to the heartbreak of emotional challenges, navigating these relationships can bring about significant personal growth. In this story, I delve into my experiences on IMVU, a 3D virtual chat platform, detailing how an online romance transitioned into real-life challenges. Learning to balance time between a busy life, school, and a partner is often difficult. It's important to establish boundaries and ensure each person involved feels valued and respected. Additionally, I touch on the impact of emotional manipulation and controlling behaviors, which can profoundly affect mental health. Recognizing toxic patterns is crucial for survival in both in-person and virtual relationships. Healing from heartbreak often involves leaning on friends and seeking support, highlighting the importance of genuine connections in difficult times. Ultimately, my journey emphasizes that while love can lead to joyful moments, it can also teach valuable lessons about self-worth and resilience.
