I dated this guy for a few months and at first he seemed sweet, just a little shy and awkward. He’d say things sometimes that didn’t sit right with me, like “girls only go for guys with money” or “women never notice nice guys.” I thought maybe he was just bitter from past experiences, so l ignored it. Then one night my laptop died and I borrowed his.
I wasn’t even snooping, but when I opened the browser there were multiple tabs already up. They weren’t random sites either. They were full-on incel forums.
And he wasn’t just scrolling, he was posting. I read through some of them and my stomach turned. He had threads about how “all women are manipulative,” how
“girlfriends only use men,” and even specific posts where it was obvious he was talking about me without using my name.
He painted me like I was some shallow girl stringing him along, when all l’d done was treat him kindly. I felt disgusted and honestly a little unsafe realizing who l was with. And yes, I broke up with him immediately.
Why on earth would I stay with someone who deep down saw me, and women in general as the enemy. But I didn’t stop there. I screenshotted everything and dropped it in his group chat with his closest friends.
A couple of them sent it to his sister and cousins too. By the next day, his whole family knew exactly what he had been writing online. Dude jst blew up my phone accusing me of “ruining his life,” but the truth is, he ruined it himself.
I just made sure the mask came off.
