Be very careful what you share online.
Just a few weeks ago someone (a vulnerable person) shared some sexual stuff with someone online and that person started blackmailing him. I’d stay away from this guy. Oh I missed that you blocked him. Good. Keep him blocked |

Well, if you give into what a man wants all the time sexually and talking about sex with him mostly, then he's going to treat you the way he treated you. You get treated the way you teach people to treat you. Raise your standards, don't always give men what they want sexually from you, hold off on sexual conversations, content, and activity for a while before deciding about whether a guy is worthy, and perhaps you will be treated better. Just some advice from someone who has "been through it" with men over and over again.

You seem to fully understand that this guy is obsessive about sex and has no real interest in you, outside from using you for his sexual fantasies. You know this is not what you're looking for in a relationship. Yet, you stayed involved with him for awhile. Maybe you figured that a poor relationship was better than no relationship. Your question seems to be that you need to find a way out of having men "messing" with you and wanting you only for "one thing."
I think you're more in control of that than you realize. It's really up to you to set the bar of your expectations higher. Once you realize a guy's interest is shallow, that's when you need to stop wasting your time with him. If shallow men keep approaching you, that might mean you give off vibes of being an easy target. Maybe you believe you should think well of others, until they prove bad intentions. That would be wrong thinking. The burden is on the guy to convince you that he is worth your time. Decent guys don't launch into sex talk, as their only area of interest. Only creeps do that. So you need to make the decision that you will not waste your time giving attention to creepy guys. Once you put that into practice, the creeps will have much less interest in you. Your willingness to act interested in them is why they keep coming around. |

to add to the above posts, I have two questions.
You wrote "He tells me he loves me and never give up." What does he mean when he says to never give up? You then wrote "He only loves me because he knows I'll do all these things for him and I am just an easy target.." That part I do not understand. When you quoted him saying that he loves you, I could understand you, as you simply cited him. But when YOU wrote that he loves you, that showed very poor judgment. Surely you know that what he is doing is not love. Just dissociate from him firmly and without regrets. Another thing is, he pushes his kinks on you, but when you shared what you called your own innocent kink, he denigrated you. He is not treating you fairly. Get away from him. He expects you to tolerate his kinks but is intolerant of yours. This is not a fair deal for you. I hope that photo in the wig he bought for you was the only photo you shared with him. I hope you didn't send more compromising photos of yourself, exposing yourself to the possibility of harm.

I do not believe you were blamed. Different posters pointed out that you exhibited poor judgment. Apparently it DID help you, as you blocked him and decided that you were done with him, which was a good outcome. So you benefited from the thread, and you also exhibited courage in calling one piece of feedback brutal yet worthy of respect. So you handled it well and came away with a step in the right direction... what is there to regret about posting?

To clarify, I was not blaming you or saying it's all your fault. Where I was coming from is: it takes two to tango, and I was pointing out that you fed into his desires, which fuels how he treats you. What I am saying is to acknowledge and own your role and part in this situation and in all situations with men. You said "if men stop messing me about, I'd be happy",. which places all the responsibility on this guy and on men, but you played a role too. If you take a step back and look at this objectively, you may see what I mean. Another way to look at this is I can walk around this planet playing the victim, saying I was abused by my ex husband. I could say, he abused me, and I was the innocent victim. And then I further victimize myself thinking I am completely powerless against all abuse and all abusive men. Well, what was MY role in it? I ignored the red flags. I allowed him to cross my boundaries early on. I allowed the relationship to move much faster than I would have preferred. I stayed with him, even after the first warning signs of disrespect and disregard. No, i was not responsible for HIS behavior or HIS choice to abuse me, but I AM responsible for my OWN behavior and my OWN choices to accept the red flags, the boundary crossing, and the first signs of disrespect. Do you see what I am saying here? We must FULLY OWN our choices and behaviors and NOT blame others for our choice or decision to participate in something that is less than what we desire. In the end, you took an important step to protect yourself and blocked him, which is what I would have done too. You took a proactive step, took control of the situation, and ended it - good for you!

I wasn't blaming you.. did you read my last reply? I laid out that it's a dance between TWO people, where both have a responsibility in the matter. I think you need some professional assistance and a therapist to help you overcome the abuse you have suffered. You are triggered and feel blamed when there is no blaming. I think you need professional counseling to help you through some of these issues.

Your last post confused me. I thought it was YOU who blocked this guy you were tired of, in the end. But now you are saying that you get blocked all the time. Do you mean that THEY block you, that men block you as a rule?

From my understanding he blocked her after she had “a go at him” (not sure if it was yelling or verbally attacking as it could mean many things) but then he unblocked her like nothing happened and then she blocked him. It seems that other men block in the same way after OP confronts them about their inappropriate behaviors. At least that’s how I read it

I am very sorry you are struggling.
You are correct that many people only want sex and aren’t interested in anything else. Usually it’s pretty apparent soon after you interact with them. In real life they’d insist to go to your house or invite to theirs before they even get to know you. Online they’ll send sex stuff and request sex stuff. It happens right away. Not a month later I think what might be contributing to you getting blocked by these men as when they engage in their sexual talk or sending you sex stuff, you go along with it and thus they might be under impression that you are enjoying it. So after you have “a go at them” (not sure if you just tell them to leave you alone or confront them in other manner), they block you because they don’t want to continue the interaction as it’s not what they are after. I think the only way to avoid interactions with these type of men is to not partake at all. If you meet them online, don’t respond, don’t talk, don’t send stuff. If it’s in real life, make sure you are always in a public place so you can safely walk away. I also wonder if you could avoid a platform you are meeting these men on. Is it particular website? Chat room? Maybe you can look at different places to meet people? I get that this guy is from high school times but what about others |

I agree with Divine — @Greberc83, you first create a certain expectation by going along. Your OP says that you said ok, yeah, and engaged, and even got photographed in a wig, but eventually got tired of it. That saying ok, yeah created a certain expectation.

It is good to avoid doing things that are morally wrong, which I believe you are already doing. However, just because a thing is not morally wrong doesn't mean it is a smart thing to do. Most of why people get victimized is not because they did anything wrong. It's more likely because they were ineffective at protecting themselves from those who will do wrong.
This guy you are tired of sounds to me like a very immoral person, who will lie at the drop of a hat. He lies, betrays and takes advantage wherever he can. Just being an innocent person, who does nothing wrong, will not protect you. You have to protect yourself by being wise. It is very unwise to believe anything from a person who has not proven to be trustworthy. If you continue being as trusting as you've been, you will keep getting victimized over and over. You don't deserve that, but that's what will happen. |

I don’t think it’s immoral or morally wrong to have sexual conversations or sending sexual messages or ask others for it.
As long as it’s consensual and people are up front about their intentions and nobody is being lied to. My warning about people being blackmailed is because it happens to people, but it doesn’t happen to everyone if you practice safety. It’s just not a safe thing to do it with strangers. Dangerous. But I don’t think casual encounters, sex talk or kinks are inherently immoral whatsoever. |
