It's fine, at this point I think being transparent about this can only be a good thing.I dunno man. I didn't read the article. But if you aren't getting along with your online friends, why not just bail? Why go back and forth for fucking years? Anyways. That's about as far as I'll take this conversation. Don't want to touch the cow.
When I met that individual, it was a tough time in my life. I thought I had lost my best friend IRL who I'd known since childhood. I had entered what I would aptly describe as the lowest point of my childhood era., so finding any new friends at that point was something of a godsend for me, I didn't even care if they were online or not. I was also more receptive to certain behaviors that I have long abandoned, funnily enough even including cyber sex with one other individual, not the one that accused me of stalking. Lots of things went down, so when I was at risk of losing that friend, I was desperately trying to cling to it because I had suffered another "loss" and didn't want to got through with it again.
Thankfully I was able to re-connect with that IRL friend in 2013. That effectively put a hard pause on me trying to contact the online individual. Then in 2014, my friend wound up in prison over a family dispute that I am not at liberty to speak of, which once again left me in a bit of a slump, so that was when the "final" attempt to fix the online friendship happened. I hope that helps the timeline make sense, providing a clear motivation.
As for the incidents that happened in 15 and 18, those involved an ex. In a previous post I did say friend, not partner, but this is because nothing romantic had taken place until later on. Both times, we would have an argument over certain controversial subjects, including transgender and lgbt. I would describe them as the "woke" type that tend to make a mountain out of a molehill of things. We wound up having a heated debate about transgender surgeries; I was firmly against them, but my ex was blindly supportive. Eventually they had had enough, and decided they didn't want to have anything to do with me because they began to assume I was a republican and that I needed to "wake up". They already had knowledge about my past with the online ex-friend, so they took advantage of that to try and find a way to put me behind bars, this is what they thought would be the key to "changing my mind", as it were. For further context, I actually met this ex back in 2009, which was when things between me and the online ex-friend were still okay. Said ex became friends with the online ex before I met them.
I gave them a second chance, which sadly went down a similar path but the second time was what lead to the first round of legal troubles and what caused my online ex-friend to seek a restraining order. I hired a lawyer that worked in their home state, and the case was promptly dismissed due to lack of definitive evidence, as I was told. Naturally the lawyer advised I not contact that individual, which I was already doing, so once that case was closed I had to cut ties with the "romantic" ex to put that situation on ice.
At least you're making an attempt to find out the truth rather than creating a false narrative and religiously sticking to it.Good to know. Still, I don't really want to continue having a back and forth with this fag.
