i always felt deeply uneasy about their relationship and the fact that he was almost 40 when she was 19. i feel sick knowing that he was abusive. fuck him and fuck everyone that defends him.

[sandstorm]

t he was almost 40 when she was 19

Wow what a piece of shit.

[genbu_no_miko24]

Yeah I remembering feeling off about the realtionship when she said it was happy and healthy. I thought the terms "healthy" and "Marilyn Manson" didn't sound right in a sentence but I would've suspected all this D:

[burntxtoashes]

i didn't realise she was so much younger than him. yikes.

I never understood why their relationship wasn't a bigger scandal. Their age difference was GROSS.

TW cause this made me want to vomit

Manson has previously talked about self-harm, telling Spin Magazine in 2009, “My lowest point was Christmas Day 2008, because I didn’t speak to my family. My walls were covered in scrawlings of the lyrics and cocaine bags nailed to the wall … I was struggling to deal with being alone and being forsaken and being betrayed by putting your trust in one person, and making the mistake of that being the wrong person. And that’s a mistake that everyone can relate to. I made the mistake of trying to, desperately, grasp on and save that and own it. And every time I called her that day - I called 158 times - I took a razor blade and I cut myself on my face or on my hands.”

He added, “I look back and it was a really stupid thing to do. This was intentional, this was a scarification, and this was like a tattoo. I wanted to show her the pain she put me through. It was like, ‘I want you to physically see what you’ve done.’ It sounds made up, but it’s completely true and I don’t give a s-t if people believe it or not. I’ve got the scars to prove it

I'm usually super sensitive to self harm, but I couldn't stop rolling my eyes at this. He was 40. 40. Not that self harm stops at a certain age, but this manipulative bullshit he did "because of her" is so lame. Grow the fuck up, adult goth.

You’re right, he’s just another middle aged man that refuses to get therapy and takes his shit out on younger women. I kept imagining her sitting there with increasing anxiety as he calls over and over. You just know he held it over her when they got back together. He’s so abusive.

same. i used to self-harm, and sympathise deeply with anyone who fights with it. but using it to guilt your partner is emotional abuse. plain and simple.

my similarly emotionally abusive ex took up cutting as 30+ year old because our relationship was "bad". it was infuriating and the last straw for me.

I'm truly happy you managed to get away from that. I hope you're doing better now. ❤

That is vile. And the other user who commented about increasing anxiety is spot-on. I was in an unhealthy marriage, and at one point my ex-husband called and texted me over 200 times in a single day. I felt like I was being crushed under the weight of it. It's so difficult to deal with.

Fuck Marilyn Manson tbh.

Jesus Christ what a manipulative douchebag.
I completely understand harming yourself because of your own issues but showing it off and using this very serious problem just to make your girlfriend feel guilty? Get the FUCK over yourself you stupid manchild.
