38 DegreesStop employers covering up abuseHey! Do you remember the Harvey Weinstein case? Non Disclosure Agreements silenced victims of abuse - and it's not just happening in Hollywood. They're used in the UK to cover up all kinds of misconduct, too. But there’s a law going through Parliament right now which could help change this! Sign the petition to show you support a ban on abusive NDAs:

🅰🅻🅸🅲🅴 (🌈🦄)

I thought I might have to mace a dude in the parking lot a few minutes ago.

My girlfriend and I were about to get in our car (after buying a bunch of ice cream for my cramps), and I overheard some guy talk-yelling. I scanned around and saw him across the lot, yelling into the driver's side of a small SUV. I watched for a few seconds, then decided to go make sure he wasn't cornering some woman.

So my girlfriend and I walk over and stand a little ways from his vehicle, watching him heatedly accuse what was probably his girlfriend of cheating. He glanced at us a couple times, and I kept waiting for him to turn his anger my direction, but he dropped the keys in the car and stormed off.

We walked over and checked on the woman, who smiled in that very 😅 sort of way, and told us she was okay—that "he's overdramatic" and they've "been through a lot together", then changed the subject by asking if we were from Seattle. She thanked us for checking in a couple more times and started walking in the guy's direction.

This was obviously an abusive relationship and she was used to deflecting inquiries about it.

I really wish I could have actually done something other than make sure he didn't escalate, but I know as soon as we left he was probably right back at her.

I hope she gets out of there.

Deleted some posts about the drama since it's largely localized to 1 very unwell person, but was curious if there's a term for this kind of #abuse

A person pretends to be your friend and even apologizes preemptively for disagreements etc. But this person keeps a list--years long, even--of grievances. The person blows up and starts dropping multiple "you did this" in a row, some of which are fake. Very hard to react to.

If you encounter this--cut them off.
