Hi Saggad
I’m sorry that you experienced that betrayal. Personally, I don’t believe in forgiving some things. This is one of those things that perhaps shouldn’t be forgiven. It might even be a good thing to fully express how terrible that situation was because you’ve been rather polite about it.
All you need to do is learn from it and move on. The truth is that you did make mistakes. A good therapist would tell you that you have been making some risky dating decisions by choosing relationships with older women and long distance.
You freely gave your legal rights to someone that you weren’t married to and you described that relationship as manipulative and abusive.
You are not the first person to lose their house after giving their rights away. You now understand exactly how important those rights are. Before you didn’t.
The person you need to forgive is yourself. You were young, kind and made some bad decisions.
All you need to do is make better choices for yourself and walk away from relationships that don’t make you happy.
