I think I felt betrayed because although we never had the official title of bf/gf, I felt there was a mutual understanding of us not hurting each other. He explicitly told me many times he would never hurt me since I was always so guarded. He also told me that if he ever wanted to stop talking he would straight up tell me. He had lied to his ex girlfriend multiple times and was always going on about how he was a changed person and would never make the same mistakes again.

i feel stupid for believing in him.
