It seemed like from what he was describing, the abuse would have been like 95% verbal/emotional and not so much physical. Therefore the problem wasn't that he wouldn't physically defend himself, it was that he was being psychologically controlled and manipulated. Maybe I'm wrong but there only like a couple of instances in the video where he claims to have been hit.
But I don't disagree that his body mass is at least 75% soy and it would be hilarious if Nyk had something to do with his relationship debacles
Let's look at what he actually said in his video:
"I did all the cooking and cleaning and it was hardly ever appreciated"
He does not disclose whether his girlfriend had a fulltime job, or whether she had a job at all. Maybe she was unable to contribute to his "second shift" because she had no time?
"I had more spare time"
Why did he have more spare time than his girlfriend? Because she did have a fulltime job? That's immediately where my mind went.
"She was very different when it was just the two of us"
So tell me, Oliver, are you the guy Nyk is referring to when he says that he has a lover who won't hold his hand in public? If you are, why are you treating Nyk so differently when "it's just the two of us"?
"She was very critical of my family and my friends"
Um... perhaps this was because she found out about you and Nyk? And maybe wondered why you'd want to be friends (or lovers, if the grape vine on Reddit that you and Nyk so readily encourage and perpetrate is to be believed) with such a headcase?
"When I told her that something she had done had hurt me, she would explain why she was right instead of apologizing."
So? She argued back and defended herself. That's what people do during an argument, that doesn't mean they are trying to be abusive. I guess living in an SJW bubble makes you think that everyone will readily apologize when told that they're a fascist but guess what, most people will put up resistence when accused of something they haven't done wrong.
"She hated this show and the fact that it put me in touch with people who support me and care about my work"
"people who support me and care about my work"... you mean Nyk? Gee, why oh why would she perceive Nyk as a threat? Maybe because she instinctively sensed he's a creep? Or maybe she noticed how Nyk was gaslighting you and manipulating you with all this cultic SJW trans bullshit? I too would start to hate Youtube if I noticed that someone near and dear me was being manipulated by some other crazy Youtube spouting far left ideology.
"It was an aspect of my life that she couldn't control"
Dude, you just said you had more spare time than her. Most of your time was yours to spend. She wasn't controlling you. It was all in your head, but you have to paint this false image of her as a control-freak bitch so you can pretend to be the victim.
"She would withdraw affection very suddenly without really explaining why."
So? No means no. She can withdraw consent any time she wants, no explanation necessary. Weren't you the male feminist who supposedly supports the idea of consent so much? Clearly you don't.
"She would sometimes humiliate me in public"
Like what? (See what I did? You want explanations? By all means explain yourself now!)
"She would ignore me in public"
Oh, the nerve! But only after she had humiliated your first, I am sure! Gotta get the order of things right.
"Or make fun of my insecurities, or start fights in restaurants."
Sounds to me like she was paying Oliver plenty of attention. Then why take her out to a restaurant? Because you forgot to cook dinner, you budding feminist man you?
"She had a lot going on"
No shit genius, you just admitted you had more spare time than her.
"And my concerns were relatively trivial"
Oh, but this is interesting. What did she have going on then that made your #firstworldproblems seem such petty bullshit comparison? You're not gonna tell us, are you?
"She would sometimes use sex and physical touch as a means of emotional control, but I was into it."
He's gonna start singing the Limp Bizkit song next, guys!
Went too fast,
way too soon,
I feel disgusted and you should too.
Its no good when all thats left is the sex, the sex.
Sex has become all I know about you
Memories of those filithy things that we do.
There's not one single thought that is left,
after sex..with you.
Should have left my pants on this time,
But instead you had to let me dive right in
"She was really really angry the night that I tried to kill myself"
Duh, most people are when someone they're in love with tries to kill themselves. It's a coping mechanism to ward off fear, despair and guilt.
"I used to pretend to be asleep sometimes when she came home for fear that she would start a fight if she knew I was awake"
What are gonna say next, Oliver? That you had to fake an orgasm with her or she would keep banging you? You just said she liked to use sex as a means of emotional control, but you let her do it cos you liked it. You are blaming her for the fact that you couldn't keep your pants up?
"Nobody likes arguing with drunk people"
Oooh, are you going to enjoy your time around an alcoholic Nyk then!
"Yeah, she hit me. Once."
It's really sad how these SJW cult members do not see that their far left SJW ideology is putting them in harm's way. If someone subjects you to domestic violence, I don't care who the fuck it is, call the cops on them. Fuck this far left bullshit that says it's wrong to call the cops on "the oppressed". Domestic violence is domestic violence, regardless of who does it, no one should be expected to put up with that in the name of solidarity. Instead of calling the cops and having them arrest and remove this violent alcoholic woman from his home, Oliver Thorn made the choice to put up with her for another 6 months. In his own fucking home. A simple call to Scotland Yard would have put an end to this relationship bullshit, I am sure, but no, Oliver had to be a good feminist and a good SJW ally. He bit the bullet and put up with it, and now he has to see a shrink about it. But since he's a cult member and true believer, he can't connect the dots to see what happened.
"We stayed together for 6 months after the night she hit me."
Again, why didn't you call Scotland Yard and report her? That's what everyone tells women who post shit like this online, so I am going to ask the question until you admit it was your fucked up far left anti-cop ideology that told you it was wrong to call the cops on a woman who you claim was committing an act of domestic abuse.
"And I didn't tell a soul"
You could have told Scotland Yard, but no, because your SJW cult says it's wrong to call the cops to report domestic violence from a woman. Can't do it under your far left ideology, you have to put up with it in the name of solidarity and being a good ally. Do you not realize that you are part of an SJW cult that's not only limitting your options but putting you at risk? What if she had pulled a knife on you, or worse? Hey, at least you know judo, right.
"You can tell from looking at my videos that something happened to me in the summer of 2018"
Yeah, I can tell. Nyk visited you in the UK. So, are you that lover who won't hold his hand in public?
"I very much doubt if my abuser will ever see this video. She's very not online."
No shit, you just said that she had a lot going on and you were the one with all the spare time on his hands to be a Youtuber.
"I don't really care if she does"
What he said.
Unless of course she gets really mouthy and does a response video of her own telling her side of the story, and it turns out Oliver was the one who was bullshitting her with Nyk or whatever was actually going on.
"Incidentally, if you are watching, sincerely thank you for the good times and I would prefer to never hear from you again."
So you badmouth an ex openly and publically in a video... but then you tell her to STFU and fuck off for ever? After being called out like this, being accused of being a drunk abuser engaged in domestic violence in a Youtube video watched by 400,000+ people? A video all of your mutual friends watched, knowing exactly who this was about? I guess there is no right of response for the accused in the SJW far left utopia of PhilosophyTube. I sincerely hope she makes a response video.
