Hi everybody. I sent an email to websleuths yesterday with my story because I was very shy about posting on here but then I decided I wanted to register so that I could do searches. While I was waiting to register (just got help from chico, thank you!!!), I read through the forum and started feeling a little more comfortable about the idea of posting myself.
So, I don't know if I should post the whole email I sent yesterday or not. I'll start with the short version. I met Steven Zelich (Mrhandcuffs) online towards the end of 2003. I met him in person once at the end of 2003 and twice at the beginning of 2004 at a hotel in my area. I wish to remain anonymous because that was another life and I was in a very bad place then. I was going through a downward spiral and meeting guys online for bondage sex was an addiction for me at the time. I have since been through a lot of therapy and am in a completely different place. I feel like I am remembering somebody else's memories when I think about this but they are definitely there. I don't think I was a victim in anyway, it was completely consensual but there were definitely some things that stayed with me from my meetings with him.
To help with your timeline, he contacted me on Collarme.com as Mrhandcuffs around Septemberish 2003 and we met sometime in November 2003 the first time. The second time was January 2004 and the third time was March 2004. We continued to talk after that until I broke things off. The picture of him on the couch was the picture he used in his profile. We were both into the idea of him abducting me and keeping me in strict bondage. (please don't judge, like I said I was in a different place) I eventually ended things because I was ready to let him abduct me and somehow by a miracle some sort of self respect showed up and made me stop the whole thing. He was not happy and was very insulting about it but he never stalked me after that that I know of.
I don't know if posting all the details at once is preferred or if you would prefer to ask questions, so please let me know what would be most helpful for you.
Welcome! and you are not being judged! While reading this I was wondering if maybe the reason he didn't stalk or go through with it anyways, maybe because of a liability? Maybe he got scared that you backed out, and thought you would go to police. If you feel comfortable posting details that would be fantastic, otherwise you can always Private message any of us i'm sure.
