Among her pieces of advice are ways to spot warning signs of “love bombing”, cheating, or other unhealthy behaviors in a relationship. She reiterated that her boyfriend “did everything right” during their relationship, from leaving love notes to remembering to leave a glass of water for her on her nightstand.
Oxford languages defines love bombing as “the action or practice of lavishing someone with attention or affection, especially in order to influence or manipulate them.” The term for the manipulation tactic began with cult survivors. It quickly expanded the public’s knowledge of manipulation in interpersonal relationships as well.
Numerous other TikTok creators have turned to publicly discussing their relationship troubles, as a way to seek community and provide a safety net for single women in their area. @iknow_girl additionally called attention to numerous Facebook groups started by women to catch cheaters in their areas.
@iknow_girl I know that some states have these fb groups called “Are we dating the same guy” and I truly believe this is an awesome group for any women to join to help warn other women in their states of potential bad or harmful partners that they have come accross in their dating history. #Iknow #cheater #cheating #serialcheater #toxic #player #betrayal #secretsandlies #cheatersexposed #womenempowered #keepitinyourpants #cheatingboyfriend #fuckboy #unfaithful #redflags #deception #manipulation #sociopath #insecureman #relationships #dating #redflags #dating101 #love #knowyourworth #selfworth #lifelesson #romance #lovebombing #gaslighting #narcissist
