It's astounding how someone could throw away four years...

It's like it meant nothing to them. It meant everything to me...I gave it my all and moved mountains but to have that thrown away? I will never understand people, much less like them in a general sense. Not saying there aren't any genuine individuals in the world, I see them here, it's just I don't know how to have some sort of trust with people or grace. Too many people acting like the whore of Babylon. She was lucky I wasn't like that and treated her better than what she deserve. But I finally confronted it tonight. I feel better to have let the beast out and clarify how I feel and how she is treating me. But what's left is another broken soul. Idk how to conduct myself after all this or if having an intimate connection with someone is even worth it anymore.

I dunno.. I had plenty of bad experiences before I finally found my partner. Really it came down to some thing you already said in the comments, which is you already know you should’ve left sooner. I wouldn’t let cynics tell you that good relationships/people aren’t out there anymore, because that’s not true. It’s more of a life lesson thing that you can’t meet the right person if you’re wasting your limited time and energy on the wrong person. Looking back, every lousy guy I ever dated, began with me ignoring red flags or cumulative pink flags that eventually lead up to a red flag. We all have our own excuses for why we do this, but it really is that simple. The second I stopped ignoring pink and red flags is when I started experiencing less pain, less frequently, and started having more positive dating experiences. If I hadn’t stopped, ignoring the pink and red flags, then I would’ve never met my fiancé because I would’ve been too mentally/emotionally preoccupied with the most recent dumb ass I’d decided to invest myself into.
