    The story is a bit controlling/manipulative in my opinion. Even if the net outcome is good I’d feel like I was overstepping a boundary if I did this to my partner.

      It sounds so freaking fake too.

      Tbh, I hope it’s real and this woman is free from vape addiction. There’s a question here about boundaries but what strikes me the most is that I can’t take it seriously. The tone is just so characteristic of these 4chan green texts. No details, no heart. Straight to the point. Short enough to get a bunch of upvotes.

      He wrote it like it’s a simple story that happened within a week. It just feels manufactured

      It’s not manipulation if the manipulatee benefits from it. Besides, he saved her from cancer. Fuck cancer.

        Ehh, it’s still manipulation, yeah. No one should have that kind of control over you. What he should have done was talk to her about this method that might work to quit vaping, and help her do it. That way he’s not doing all this crap behind her back.
