Some people think scars are beautiful because they make you who you are, and that’s the person he loves. Hopefully with time you will find your mojo and nerve to be open and free with him, but I completely understand why it might take a lot of love to make you feel safe.

Do your best to cut him some slack, and realize that he was trying(and failing) to meet your dark humor. Try not to withdraw from him, because that can damage your relationship. It sounds like he is a good guy.

Yep, all or nothing. Not sure why he involved his girlfriend in that part anyways. You’re being honest about the situation, it doesn’t mean she needs to do it with you

“I’m sorry” and “I’m going to delete them all” or “I’m going to move them all to a secure location”. Going through them like that with the girlfriend was the worst option

I had to learn this the hard way because at one point I was the one doing this to my own family. Your own trauma does not give you excuses to treat people in a certain way, just remember that. Please don't take it out on undeserving people, you will only push them away over time, when they really did love you.

Everyone's going to tell you do the right thing, and I say fuck that. Put the wrong label on it, put it in an Ill used area of your work. If someone comes to discipline you, "oh, that one? I didn't steal it, I think I mislabeled it and put it down somewhere when I was busy. Honestly sorry, let me go get it."

I’ve made really stupid jokes to people. This situation though It didn’t even sound like he was joking. The “faulted” part, is not really a “fault”, it’s literally a brain processing information. It takes time for brains to figure stuff out. You basically made a comment (perhaps out of left field?) and it took him a moment to think it through and respond. It was a rational response. Afterwords, he thought immediately about your emotions. Kinda difficult situation all around and it really does sound like he’s trying his best.

Hey OP that is soooo much trauma to go through at a young age and I hope the person that did that to you faced real consequences. I would hope that you have sought/ are seeking therapy for that trauma. It may help you with the scars that cannot be seen and help how you feel about the ones that are visible. Sounds like boyfriend made a whoopsie and is sorry and won’t be making that mistake again.

I don’t think reprimanded is the word you are looking for as normally this just means to be told off. The perpetrator (depending on the age) deserves legal consequence if at all possible. Given that the last of it happened 4 years ago it might not be possible. If the perpetrator was the same age they likely need/ needed extreme behavioral rehab.
