I feel foolish for investing my feelings in someone who was never truly available.

I can’t help but feel incredibly gullible for allowing myself to get attached to someone who clearly only wants to have fun. It started innocently enough, with casual conversations and playful banter that made me feel special. I found myself drawn to their charm and charisma, believing that there was something deeper beneath the surface. But it became painfully obvious that their intentions were far from sincere. They were already in a committed relationship, yet they continued to flirt with me, blurring the lines and leading me to believe that I meant more to them than I actually did. I wanted to believe that there was a genuine connection, that perhaps they were unhappy in their current relationship and looking for something more meaningful. But the truth is, I was just a source of entertainment for them, a fleeting distraction from their reality. It stings to acknowledge that I allowed myself to be swept up in their games, ignoring the red flags that were waving right in front of me.
