John – you look exactly like my ex. He would treat me badly, we had plans to move in together, until I couldn’t do it anymore. I loved him so much, put so much effort into the relationship, and he treated me the same way (even though he insisted we had to move in together anyway). But it was not enough for me. Yes I wanted to wake up next to him every morning, but I wanted to be treated the way i deserved. Then i broke up…he tried to convince me to go back with him…but 20 days later he gave up. And i was in a hospital, sick, and changing up my mind (he knew that, that i wanted him back as well) but he turned his back to me. And then I fought for him for 3 months, and he just treated me really badly. I’ve found out lies and everything. I’m still upset but…the way you described things, it was just like he treated me. I also developed anxiety disorders because of him… I don’t know why I’m saying all this since my situation just kept getting worse, and I felt guilty, but then realized I deserve better… But I also learnt a lot by letting him go and then regretting. And your lessons are very valuable.
She has learnt a lot as well, you can be sure of that. Just wanted to show a little bit of the other side…sometimes that makes us feel better, I don’t know. Let me know if you would like to talk some more.
