i met this man about 2 years back & we really hit it off. he’s super attractive and cute, sweet towards me, very gentlemanly, basically everything you could ask for in a guy. we’ve never done anything explicitly sexual except the occasional remark he would make, like “you’re so sexy” or anything along the lines of that.
but recently i feel as if his demeanour has changed completely. his words are no longer so honeyed, they’re rather short & curt, and he only texts me when he needs something from me. i’m not sure if it’s me who did something wrong to elicit such behaviour, but i’ve been trying to make him happier by adhering to his requests.
except he’s been asking me for naughty photos a lot recently. at first, i resisted, after all we don’t have a label on our relationship and quite frankly, i feel that we’re more like friends with benefits instead of boyfriend & girlfriend. but whenever i tell him i don’t feel comfortable sending pictures, he gets super cold towards me & it makes me feel horrible.
yesterday i finally caved in and sent him a picture, nothing too revealing, just a mirror pic in my underwear, and i told him that this was for his eyes only, he couldn’t save it into his phone, screenshot or send to anyone else. immediately after i sent the pic, he took a screenshot. i felt so violated and disrespected, i scolded him on the spot but he just replied with “i won’t do anything with it, why you don’t trust me?” now i’m genuinely afraid of what he’ll do with my photos, i don’t want to create a bad digital footprint for myself and i don’t want to see my pictures online one day, if ever. i wish i could turn back time, i would never have sent him the photo.
he hasn’t contacted me in a week, i’m lost as to what to do now and i haven’t confided in anyone else. what should i do?
