Made me feel like I didn't matter. Like I never mattered. Seemed to bring him joy. He also had anger issues. Which made me just withdraw more until I just stopped caring
He revealed that the person he referred to as his ex-girlfriend was in fact his current girlfriend. His fiancé actually. And naturally he didn’t share that truth until he had gotten what he wanted from me. I’ll admit that it took a long time to fall out of love with him even after experiencing that kind of hurt. Still have love for the moron actually because he was sort of a big chapter in my life. But I hold onto the lessons way more than the innate care I have for him.
Let say, her true personality showed few months into the relationship. I didn’t like it. I must agree I changed the way looked at her. She noticed. We agreed part ways.
I don't really think I stopped loving as much as I gave up, but something about owing me an explanation.

When I was young I had a partner I dated who was too old for me to begin with(I was 16, he was 23, dated for 2 years) after doing stuff to me I didn't consent to he texted me the next morning to let me know I was "pretty ugly". I was torn.
Other times I've gotten involved with drug abusers. They're hard to want to be with long term.
@SW-User Addicts overall are hard to deal with. You can never change them.

@Menetics Yeah and then they make excuses or refuse help so it makes it harder esp when you just want to see them get better. For some reason I attract those types.
@SW-User Surround yourself with people who are healthy for you. We sometimes think we can save them but most of the time they’ll just ruin us and waste our time. If someone truly loves you, they’ll change their bad habits for you.
Soon to be ex... "I don't trust you with other men". Ten years into a faithful marriage. I didn't have any friends of my own and never went out by myself, so there was no basis for that nonsense.
@HootyTheNightOwl yeah I understand, it’s hard to figure them out sometimes. narcissists do self project guilt. Blame you, blame anyone for their bad behaviour but them.
The choice is not always from a single statement. However, the choice to not share space and time with them was from a culmination of words and actions.
I stopped loving her after she admitted she'd been leading me on for the whole time we were together. She was using me to move out of her parents under the guise of being in a relationship with me. Told people she was single but told me she loved me. Cheated on me with the guy who introduced us. And then left me for him.
@Menetics oh my dumbass was over here thinking you were currently in a loveless relationship 😅 I was like aw 🥹
Well lemme re-answer then 😅 with the last person I loved, I fell out of it after it was already over. I had to realize that we simply weren't right for each other & I still had a lot of growing up to do
She said, months into trying everything I could, after the most lovingly heartfelt letter I ever wrote another human being: "I have told you several times that I'm done and want out. I hope that this time you hear me."

He played mind games in an attempt to control me, he never saw me again..
