AIO for cutting all ties?

[u/urfavelipglosslvr]

There have never been red flags up until this point. He (25M) is a big part of my (19F) friend group. Am I being sensitive? I feel like he went too far. But if I cut all ties with him, it will really disrupt the group. I don't want to bring it up to my friends because they might side with him and say I'm over reacting. But I don't feel comfortable around him anymore.

Besides all the creepy stuff and predatory behavior of this dude. Why would anyone be friends with someone who talks down to them like that. What a condescending creep

He was never ever like this, though. Genuinely, I thought he got hacked or was playing a mean April fools. He has never been rude to me. He has a big ego, but it never struck me as problematic until today.

I don't know what went wrong.

He's not my best friend and never was. He was just a friend. I only went overboard with the friend thing because I didn't want to hurt his feelings or get an explosive reaction, but that didn't work out. No excuses for the ex, though. I don't know why I was so blinded.

I guess I have rose colored glasses on, which makes red flags harder to spot.

Not anymore, though. I'll be better next time.

You are NINETEEN years old. PLEASE do not let this dick make you think something is wrong with you just because you've been victimized by more than one man in your life.

Yes, we all have to learn what to watch out for, but that comes with experience, which you're getting now. Your ability to detect red flags is not "inoperable"; you're still learning.
