How sad is it that a Netflix series had to shake me about my inability to walk a-way when red flags, intimation, manipulation, and dare I say gas lighting? Gosh I'm a counselor and I can't see it in my life!!! So... the show is "Dirty John" and my bestie and I watched it together and to say it. was. painful. is an understatement. The way he undermines his victims and belittles and controls them with guilt made me want to crumble. Like cookies. Let's review the first guy I connected with in a year since being on a dating app:
And the beat goes on.....This guy doesn't even deserve his own post so we're gonna piggy back. SPOILER ALERT: He was the little piggy that weee weee weee'd all the way home On our first date was adorably nervous and MUCH more attractive in person. He was quirky and adorable and a tall glass of water. He is "not much of a drinker" yet he drank Makers like it was water. Cool that you can hold your liquor but this set the stage for the rest of the date. Enter stage left, he revealed he is on probation and "usually [doesn't] reveal that on the first date." Then, he used this motion. On. The. First. Date. To. A. Stranger. "Since my person is probably in Spain or something.... so I'm trying to find someone who can accept me for who I am here. " My eyes widened as he continued. "That and I have a really high sex drive and am tired of doing this [insert gesture] alone." To seal it with a kiss, and I did, he put dip in his mouth and also said, "See? I would usually wait till you were in the bathroom before putting this in my mouth." WHUT?! Had to spell it wrong for emphasis. GOODNIGHT, Steph!! Pardon my French but.... what the FUCK!?!? |
