So after giving it some time, I sat down and had an honest talk with my girlfriend. Turns out she had mentioned to some of her friends that I watch redpill/right-wing content. The problem is, a couple of those friends are the extreme man-hating feminist type—not all of them, but I know at least two of the five close ones fall into that category.

When we started dating, I set a boundary about not sharing our relationship problems with friends or family. Not because I’m trying to control her, but because I’ve seen how people form lasting negative opinions from just one story or fight—even after the couple makes up. They don’t forget, and that can affect future advice or how they view the relationship. That’s why I asked her to try and talk to someone more neutral if she needs outside perspective.

Now those friends know I’ve watched that kind of content (again, just once or twice a week), and they’ve been feeding her this idea that I’m like those guys—even though I’ve never acted that way toward her. I don’t even like Tate or any of the extreme, hateful stuff. I just watch to hear different viewpoints and think for myself.

After talking things through, we agreed that she’s going to take a step back from the friends who were pushing those assumptions. They weren’t really helping—they just wanted me out. I also realized I need to be more understanding of how she feels about the stuff I watch, and I’m going to work on that too.

edit: i want explain I typically watch a variety of content, including redpill or right-wing videos once or twice a week. What I do is pause the video often to think critically and form my own points before resuming. I like to engage with the content in a way that allows me to process the information, challenge it, or agree with it based on my own reasoning. I also make sure to balance things out by watching some left-leaning content as well, so I can stay updated on different perspectives and broaden my understanding i dont watch to change others mind and i did't tell my gf to cut her friend off i told her i would perfer if she take adevice from neutral party its her choice if she wants to cut then off or take a step back or want to break up with me and she's steping back from those friend who have show they hate men and have extremist view and options and thats her choice i did''t tell her to do that i just told her be mind full with she sahre with whom
