Hey everyone, I created this community as some sort of an online journal to vent out my frustrations. I always expected somebody to stumble upon this down the line, but didn't expect it to get such an attention so quickly. As some people pointed out, this community has all the hallmarks of becoming a misogynistic cesspool, which was not my intention. I am at as much fault in this one for ignoring all the red flags during courtship, and for not separating after the marriage when there was still time to do so. All this to say, I'll be closing this community.
I still think some aspects of this community are still useful. I was finally able to put my thoughts into words, and seeing people advise me made me feel like I was not alone, and that there is still hope. This could be a different community under different name. If somebody wants to create /c/badrelationships to vent/rant/seek support/validation for any bad relationships in our life, I would be happy to subscribe.
Thanks for reading this. I'll delete the community by the end of the day.
I have been so invested in this for short time I've been here. It was definitely on the precipice of being a toxic cesspit, which might have been part of the lurking appeal. I'm glad and actually pretty happy that you made a selfless decision to delete a tool you use to deal with an unfortunate pairing to stop it becoming a hate community. I hope you work stuff out and find a helpful outlet. Kinda feel bad that you've lost this corner.
