I need somebody to edit a read only pdf!

NavyBlue2023 · 02/08/2023 09:51

Please no bashing I feel terrible enough.
My partner and me have been very on and off for the last 4 years of our relationship if you can call it that, sometimes hes gone months at a time and I dont hear anything from him.
3 years ago I slept with somebody else during a 5 month break, I never told him because he would say this is cheating. He has now decided he wants us to get back together properly move home and start again on the condition I do a lie detector test that says I have never slept with anybody else in the 12 years we have been together.
The pdf is read only and cannot be edited without special software. Obviously I dont want him finding out it was a mistake and I fully regret it but I'm not going to pass the test.
Where could I get the pdf edited? I will of course pay for the time of the person doing it.
I know this is really terrible of me but I want nothing more than us to work, no good will come of him finding out.

According to their website "Three or more tests taken on the same day at the same location are £295 each." Maybe you could set one for him as well? Then flip a coin for who does the third one.

Seriously though, break up with this person.

Missingpup · 02/08/2023 16:29

Shit

The op has ignored questions re whether children involved

which means they are

what hope do they have In life with parents like this? Seriously

@NavyBlue2023 there are free online pdf editors.

You are in an abusive relationship and you are addicted to the highs and lows of it. You are wasting your life on a man who doesn't really love you or respect you.

10 years later, he will dump you for someone younger and you'll be stuck with kids and no money to support them or yourself. You will lose the home you built for your rocky family and the kids will have anxiety because Daddy is always starting fights and yells and storms off.

When the end comes, you won't see it coming. You'll be shocked and beg him to not leave. You'll degrade yourself to him because your brain cannot break the addiction cycle. It's called Trauma Bonding.

If you don't stop it now, you'll give him your best years and your youth and he'll dump you anyway when you are vulnerable and tied to him.

So, so many woman end up like this.

HE DOES NOT LOVE YOU. Remember that. You know why? Because if he did love you then none of the drama would be there. He wouldn't care if you had boyfriends before him. He would just want to be with you no matter what and he would be kind, fun and loving. He wouldn't make you take lie detector tests!

Find your self respect and get some help to break from this loser.

You don't deserve to be with a man who targeted a teenager and has spent his time abusing her instead of treating her like she is his whole world. Don't you think you deserve that?

You are in an abusive relationship OP. Freedom program.

Emmamoo89 · 02/08/2023 17:23

You deserve better x

LIZS · 02/08/2023 17:48

Why are you still trying so hard to get his approval. Honestly this dysfunctional relationship is over, move on and set your standards higher.

Watchkeys · 02/08/2023 17:52

Yes I am trauma bonded to him, it's hard to explain but I just feel like I have to continually prove myself to him

Have you considered looking into why you're feeling you have to do this, @NavyBlue2023 ? Wouldn't you prefer a partner you didn't constantly have to prove yourself to?

DragonDoor · 02/08/2023 17:58

You don’t have to do any of this - you have free will.

I am not being dramatic when I say this man sounds like he could be a threat to your life and liberty.

Seek support from Woman’s Aid and focus on taking care of yourself. They can help keep you safe if needs be.

Some replies have been helpful and sympathetic and I appreciate that, some people however are so judgemental

You must know this isn't a healthy example to set for her? You'd be better off staying separated. Children need stability.

I'm 28, I have already done 2 this year and passed because I have never slept with anybody during our relationship but these aren't good enough.
I know it's really bad but dont want to throw it all away over a silly mistake

What on earth.

Seriously find someone better.

YOU WERE ON A BREAK

It's not that simple, he hasn't lived here since April when he smashed my foot in the car door and chipped my ankle bone yet he drives past my house numerous times every single day.
Theres no help for women like me, the police arrested him the police are aware he stalks me yet they never prosecute. The housing wont help me move, the court wouldn't grant any order. Regardless if I do the test or not he will never leave me alone. Passing his questions will allow me to live a life where I can sleep at night because hes here rather than watching me in the background.

Is it not? Do you not think that it’s not a great environment for your child? Or are you editing that too?
What are you doing to protect your child?

AloneOnSaturn · 02/08/2023 19:22

Fail the test, then he might leave you alone for good.

Keykaty · 02/08/2023 19:23

I don't think I have read anything as chilling in my life, or on this site.

Women's Aid love. And right now. I know leaving is difficult and there's all kinds of trauma and baggage involved, but the first step is the most effective. Call them please.

twinsbelly · 02/08/2023 19:24

Please don't get back with this man. He will control you and hurt you. Show your daughter what it means to value yourself so that she values herself and stands a chance of having healthy relationships herself in the future.

MrsMoastyToasty · 02/08/2023 19:27

Are you prepared to be subject to a lie detector test every few months for the rest of your life ?

Because that's what he will want for as long as you're in a relationship with him.

Have you contacted women's aid?

Stay safe good luck

GoodChat · 02/08/2023 19:28

Does he see DD? Is he a risk to her?

Do you have any family who could give you some money to get away?

GoodChat · 02/08/2023 19:29

AloneOnSaturn · 02/08/2023 19:22

Fail the test, then he might leave you alone for good.

It doesn't sound like he will. It sounds like he'll' forgive' her then use it as a stick to beat her with forevermore

Changingplace · 02/08/2023 19:31

OP please find a way to walk away from this man for good, do your family & friends know how mentally & physically abusive he is?

Please get some support to leave him, no good will come of this relationship for you or your daughter :(
