    Here is my story

    I’ve been told I’ve been betrayed 🙂

    Was going out with this boy (who pretended to be a man) for a while, living in different cities… I’d visit & we would spent time together, do activities together which felt good… hold hands & all that jazz that charms a girl. Also, he came into my life when I was going through something really tough & was vulnerable, thought the universe is giving me signs that this could be it. 🙂

    Anyway, time went by… he visited me, things happened. Next day we had a discussion over our future & while discussing all, he actually decided to just leave the city right away walking out on me saying he needs to be left alone and will call. That itself was traumatic as I thoughts it’s all over… he did call, gave me hints & shared his personal stuff which he hadn’t earlier, hinting at me that we will be together one day. So we had our on days & off days now on off days I’d notice him busy on other call… obviously me being curious after giving him loads of space, started to check, for like 3 days… he rejected my call and didn’t call back. We did talk again & he found out I’m visiting his town (where I’ve my family so wasn’t only going for him) he told me it’s good news & all that. I reached and messaged him, he blocked me. It was a shock for me, denial. One day you are talking fine, the next you are not. He unblocked me later that night apologized for his attitude, told me he wants to tell what happened that he’s doing this. called me the next morning never told what actually happened to him & just told me he can’t go on with this relationship, and he’s guilty of talking to another woman (probably his ex). This was bombarded on me the day I reached there and I was in a state of shock… he didn’t bother giving an explanation, he said he can’t meet or he will fall weak, (wonder what that meant) he didn’t bother telling me face to face in fact later on when we exchanged a few messages, he told me he can’t see me hurt so can’t meet (even though he hurt me) and icing on top, right after that he said that he might sound wrong but if he had to meet me then he would have to tell “Her” as he can’t do more wrong in life, ha! Felt like a knife is piercing through my heart ‘again & again’. Earlier I was being nice and understanding but sorry that’s where my self respect really woke up and I said a few things which only expressed that I am hurt, not anger really. While we were together we became nice friends… it all finished in a blink of an eye. That’s what I am still not able to get over with, 8th of dec. he himself couldn’t deal with this pain and blocked me from different platforms.

    Ps. His life is going on good, has all sorted with a partner where as I am suffering, I have my okay days but then there are days when I want to be with myself. Don’t know if I could make sense out of it but that’s what happened. Writing here for the first time. Now the thought of going on a vacation isn’t even appealing to me like it used to. I don’t miss him or feel love for him, it’s an unexplainable feeling and void.

    Dear Heretofloat:

    I didn’t understand what you meant by going out “with this boy (who pretended to be a man)”?

    Who told you that you have been betrayed (title of your thread), and in what way or ways did they say that you were betrayed?

    Did you ask and did he explain to you why he walked out on you, rejected your call and blocked you?

    Pretended to be a man as in a boyish attitude in real life faking to be really mature and gentleman like. An expression.

     

    I felt ive been lied to & betrayed because I was cheated on. No he didn’t explain to me why he wants out. Said he can’t lie no more and that he’s seeing another girl so he can’t continue. Didn’t meet me, blocked me everywhere so I don’t contact him either. What not.

    He didn’t explain 🙂 he couldn’t face the music. I even told him that this isn’t how one makes an exit

    Dear Heretofloat:

    Without any information from him, how can you know what motivates him, to be with you or to  get away from you…?

    When he blocked you, was it because you repeatedly contacted him?

    Dear Anita,

    when he blocked my number  – i called him upon reaching town like he wanted me to. To let him know I’ve landed so we can meet up the next day. He blocked me instead. We were in a proper relationship where we would talk every day and stay in touch… mostly he would call. Since the past two to three nights, i called him up at night but his number remained busy, for hours the whole night… the next day he’s been busy. This has happened before as well… once i randomly called, his phone was busy and the next day when he met me, he said that he was sleeping. Now he chose another medium to talk to some other person so if i call, ill think he’s sleeping. By luck i found out that he’s on call again and the next day i said its okay, i am sorry… and he goes “no my behaviour is not okay and i need to be more honest with you” he said he will call that night to explain but he didn’t. After two days i reached his town and then he blocked me when i called him once. The next day he said “I can’t do this anymore, i need time” i asked him “do you need time or you can’t do this” he goes “i can’t do this” and also “i am guilty of seeing another girl” He didn’t want to face any emotions, so he cut off completely. Later after four days, he told me he admires me a lot but he can’t give false hopes and lie anymore. I asked him to meet so we can at least talk it out and part our ways like mature people but he said “I will have to tell her before meeting you” thats when i couldn’t take it and i said stuff to him… he said “i can’t do more wrong anymore” he said that as if after breaking hearts, he has to stay loyal to the other girl. sigh anyway.. thats all. I didn’t contact him again since then nor do i plan to of course after being shut off and feeling sort of insulted.

    My over all personality is not possessive and not clingy and he knew that to the extent of not asking questions & giving loads of space. I think girls who don’t do all that get away with a lot than girls who actually act maturely in relationships.

     

    And sadly when he broke the news to me… he said “i am the one with a bad character”

    Dear Heretofloat:

    Well, he told you repeatedly that he lied to you, that he did wrong, and reads to me that he did lie to you and did you wrong. Reads like instead of facing reality, when reality distresses him, he simply avoids it by blocking contact with you, not interacting with you. Avoiding so to avoid conflict is very common, and I agree with you- it is immature and it is, indeed, wrong.

    If I was you, I would make sure that I had no contact with him. I wouldn’t give him a chance to lie to me again, to block me again, to behave dishonestly with me again. Heal, recover, move on.

    Make sure that before you get into a relationship with a man in the future, that the new man is honest with you, reliable, trustworthy, over time; that when in conflict, he doesn’t avoid the conflict or the person with whom he has the conflict, specifically, you.

    Being betrayed is not fun, as you well know. Better lower by much the chances of it happening again.

    You know, days before this incident… i told him i can understand any issue of yours and be your friend too but if its ever about another girl then i will quit by keeping a rock on my heart if i have to. So initially and due to maybe shock I thought its a lie regarding talking to another woman & all. That is why I obviously felt weak and venerable and contacted him. When he said he can’t see me hurt… another woman was not coming to my mind, i thought it’s just us and things can be fixed. I am dumb, it was when he said ” i will have to tell her” bla bla when it hit me that it was not an excuse to get rid of me but he is actually in touch with someone else. You are totally right about him not being to able to deal with reality and in fact just run away from it. So i thought that’s unfair and coward of a man to do such a thing to a girl he said he respected a lot and thought is very understanding. Anyway, I don’t think i lost my dignity by still being nice or by trying to let him know he has hurt me. I would have lost my self respect if i begged him to come back to me. Just saying… rantings of a messed up mind.

    I will move on… the flashbacks are hurting me… I didn’t know dishonesty will hit me so hard.

    Anita, he knew he i will not be a drama queen had he faced the music but still he chose not to.

    Thanks.

     

    ps. They say “You miss the man you thought he was not what he turned out to be”

    Year of losses and goodbyes… lost both my grandmothers… family almost broken and at the end this happened, not trying to be a victim here… trying to move on. Or maybe letting things be till i can try again.

    Dear Heretofloat,

    Betratayal does hit very hard, especially to those of us who are mature coz we think we chose wisely…but you already know, ya really good riddance. Good he showed his colours relatively early…this is not the kind of person you would like to invest your maturity on…

     

    it it still will hurt and with time you will be able to make peace with it..to some extent.

     

    If if you have been feeling vulnerable like you mentioned, perhaps some self love and self dare could help heal better.

     

    love and thoughts,

     

    k

    Either he confessed with the other girl about me or got caught there but felt quitting doing wrong there by finishing here. And most probably it was return of an Ex or he was two timing all along. Heh because one day my previous ex contacted me and I told him about it to which he said “unfortunately I don’t have such issues from your side”

    anyway that’s just my mind playing game with me every now & then… he left me guessing.

    When I told my loved one that maybe I reacted strongly, she goes to me, really? Over texting you reacted strongly with someone who didn’t even give you a chance to shout or show shock face to face? Made sense.

    Kindle, you make complete sense, mature people expect mature outcomes from others but that isn’t the case. Yes, showed colours soon… still some damage had been done, when it comes to it comes to intimacy, unfortunately I’ve a very bad last memory of it. Since he walked out and it felt animalistic about which I told him at the end and he couldn’t read that and blocked me.

    I have my moments where I blame myself as well… should have played my cards right. But I was super careful, giving space, chilling out and all that. It’s not my fault if I called a few times to check if his number is still busy while he says to me that he just wants to be alone. Then be alone… I think it all started to happen so I find out the truth.

    Yeah. I want to make peace with it ASAP. Hope I move on & stop thinking where I went wrong.

     

    Love & thanks for the support.

    Dear Heretofloat:

    You mentioned playing your cards right, in this ended relationship. I don’t think a relationship should be about playing one’s cards, but about being honest, open, saying the truth.

    He wasn’t honest with you and didn’t tell you the truth- that was not because you didn’t play your cards right or did anything wrong, as you suggested. It is because dishonesty is something he is practicing, something he currently is (and will continue to be until and if he intentionally changes this about himself).

    Betrayal happens when we open up to someone, becoming vulnerable to him/ her and in turn that person lies to us, misleads us, proves not to have been worthy of our trust.

    Post again anytime you’d like, if it helps you.

    * Will soon be away from the computer for about 17 ours or so.

    “Until he intentionally decides to stop it” He told me “I might sound wrong but I’ve to tell her before meeting you” “I can’t do more wrong” “I can’t be more unfaithful” you know what I felt back then? That this ‘boy’ is deciding to fix things with another woman and now he will be the most honest man ever and fix life. No, he doesn’t deserve that. I hope when you say that is what he is practicing then be it. Practice away… why stop right after hurting me? My vengeance side just spoke, karma… I’ve never seen it struck people who have hurt me when it came to love relationships. Just saying… sometimes I wish I wasn’t an empathetic person or nice like people say I am. Your own loved ones end up taking advantage of you.

    Anita, you are correct about not worrying about playing cards right in relationships… it shouldn’t be about that. I feel relationships shouldn’t be so complicated that we have to think of all that. Thanks, you pointing it out helped kill one bug from my head. And defining betrayal… I’ll have to screenshot that 🙂 are you a life coach or a therapist? You sound like either of the two.

     

    Thank you for the support. Thanks for telling me I can write more when I feel like it if it helps.

     

    Ps. Feeling vulnerable sucks. I’ve seen too much trauma this year and I helped my loved ones that now by the end, I feel I’ve hit rock bottom and need help.

     

    Bless you all
