Categorizing and classifying people based on number ratings is hurtful whether or not they find out about it, it's just plain lovely.

It's like saying talking poo poo about somebody behind their back isn't hurtful - just because they're not in the room doesn't mean you're not an rear end in a top hat

I know it's lovely. I was just saying she probably doesn't stop because she doesn't expect them to find out.

Edit: also there's a lot of journal/diary comparisons in the thread which is kind of weird because a meticulously organized spreadsheet on the quality of your boyfriend's lays doesn't sound like therapy so much as it sounds like indulging a compulsive disorder to me. This isn't going to make her a more emotionally available partner, that's for sure.

Didn't you also argue that the diaries that dude found where his wife wrote about mutilating any woman she perceived as a threat were therapeutic, though?

I might be misremembering, but I think the dude's wife was an author. He was rummaging through a closet and came upon a box where she had stashed diaries where she wrote fictional accounts of her torturing or otherwise hurting other women (his coworkers, etc). He thought the diaries were writing exercises/notes until he read them.

She was rating her enjoyment, not his performance, and was self-aware enough to figure out that he wasn't the problem, her overall health and self-image was. Ultimately she's not trying to manage him with the info, she's trying to manage herself.

This sounds like exactly what you would tell somebody after they found the meticulously organized spreadsheet containing your boyfriend ratings

1. This isn't a therapeutic diary, though
2. Yeah, because if it was a therapeutic diary it's an invasion of medical privacy which is much more dire
3. I think we can all agree I was being unreasonable on that one anyway

Having said that, a diary is implicitly private. Files on a shared computer are not. You don't just pick up somebody's diary and start reading it. Files on a shared computer are waiting to be found. It's trivially easy to password protect a spreadsheet if you don't want somebody looking at it. It's the same thing with the stories where some dude's girlfriend finds his gigantic cache of ex-girlfriend porn or whatever, do you really get to be mad that somebody found an unhidden, unprotected directory on a computer you both mutually use?

I guess that's slightly less crazy than I was expecting considering she's an author but still holy lol

The reason I took her side in that one in the first place was that they'd been married for years and years and he apparently didn't have the faintest loving idea she was so insecure about his previous girlfriends, so clearly she wasn't that crazy.

"Here's a person who has a problem with something and has found a solution that works for that problem" was my takeaway from the situation and considering she had never actually physically harmed anyone the situation felt more like her husband was trying to police her ability to cope with the gigantic number of hotter women he'd nailed before her than him actually trying to deal with a real problem that was negatively impacting him or anyone else in any way

If she's not publishing her cathartic, id-channeling, wish fulfillment drivel like John Ringo does, she's just leaving money on the table. It would probably sell better than whatever the hell she writes professionally.

This probably doesn't say good things about me, but I'd scrolled past so many miserable stories by that dude that "One time I thought about raping a girl but didn't" was just another rock on his towering pile of sadness.

I [22M] found a massive network of writings, videos, and accounts belonging to my boyfriend [20M] of 8 months. I'm totally baffled and I don't know how to talk to him about it.


I could highlight the entire thing but that would be crazy. Also this one is like 1 hour old and i already can't wait for an update.
This doesn't seem that weird. Well, some of it is a bit weird like fanfic, but it just seems like he has a boyfriend who actually creates stuff instead of mindlessly consuming? Someone could snoop the poo poo outta me and find like 30 paragraphs of poo poo to write about me. I don't even remember all the poo poo I've created online over the years. I doubt the boyfriend is hiding anything. When you're a doer you just do poo poo and you rarely think about past projects you have no current investment in. It's not like he's leading a double life. Most of that stuff seems to be from years ago. Admittedly, the stuff I've created is technical and not fanfic or instagram eulogies, but I have respect for anyone who actually does creative things.
