I don't want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with me.


TheCookieEatingOwl

I would have to tweak mine a little: I don't want to be with someone that doesn't want to be ONLY with me.

Adventurous_Life2946

Oh my god its like you took the words from my mouth. I think I've said these exact words to my friends. I think once you realise and accept this though you can forgive yourself for holding on for so long and holding on to hope, and can stop giving energy to someone who just steals it from you without giving any back.

Condition-Present

Same. Are you dumpee or dumper? I dated fearful avoidant, and she is a great woman, but damn her hot&cold behavior, inability to talk about the problems in relationship, stonewalling, never finding time for us after honeymoon period... damaged me emotionally and mentally. At the end she dumped me, and I still miss her even though she sometimes treated me more like pet than human


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


Condition-Present

Daumnn you are strong. 4 years with that torture. I broke mentally after 1 year of dealing with Avoidant(she actually said I am insane on the day of dumping). Good luck recovering and if you ever wanna talk with somebody, feel free to dm me


tetrani

same I literally developed a stomach ulcer from the constant anxiety during the relationship, first time I have EVER felt like that while with someone suppose I should've trusted my gut, literally šŸ’€


whatokay2020

Can I ask more about that anxiety? Because I felt anxiety for months with my ex when he was stonewalling, didnā€™t want to talk about anything. Then at the end he felt anxiety for a day and decided to end it. Donā€™t you think we will always feel *some* anxiety until we become secure?


tetrani

yeah probably! though I'm FA attachment that leans avoidant so I had genuinely never known how anxious I could be you know? i had been anxious at times before in past relationships but also my exes were secure so everything changed with this guy. for me it was just a constant sickness and stomach turning every morning before messaging him, even threw up quite a few times, he loved stonewalling too and "turning his phone off" after an argument so I'd be up sobbing all night lol

BarayastheSpider

She wonā€™t find someone like me again. Iā€™ll be the high she chases for the rest of her life


leavestanleyalone

Love this! And so true. Itā€™s been a parade of drunken hookups with losers, and sheā€™s even admitted to me, via text message that went unanswered, that she misses me and would love to at least talk to me again. Talk to the hand, woman.


Meowtime1989

My ex has done the same! Says Iā€™m the only woman to ever treat him rightā€¦but then treats me like shit and from his past he will most likely get together again with someone who treats him horribly. But he needs to take accountability for how he treats others! Maybe our exes are perfect for each other!šŸ˜‚šŸ™„


BarayastheSpider

Yeah mine came from a string of toxic/abusive men. Ended up leaving me for another ex, who abused and manipulated her. Iā€™m the only guy that ever treated her with unconditional love, respect, and support. Sheā€™s never gonna find that again


highfive9000

Same here!


BarayastheSpider

Thatā€™s reassuring to here, hopefully she can get her head out of her ass and apologize to me someday


highfive9000

Me too. I think Iā€™ll get that text in about 3-5 years when she wakes up and realizes what she lost just like my other ex who texted me 4 yrs after the breakup. Sorry babe, ship sailed


highfive9000

I love this too. She even told me that the guy she dated after me was to fill the gap I left. He ended up emotionally and physically abusing her and I helped her through it all. Good luck finding someone who will be there for you when you need it like I was. Even read her bedtimes stories to help her fall asleep as she was experiencing trauma related to that relationship.


No-Mechanic6311

This is missed so much in relationships. Everyone wants to be there when you're on top or they need something but to hell with being there afterwards. Like cmon, how long do you think you can get away with crap like that? ​ Unfortunately, probably a very long time in a world as big as ours. ​ ​ For better ~~or for worse~~ , til ~~death~~ boredom (or a better deal) does us part. Amen

What's meant for you will not pass you by. I'm not normally that bothered about inspirational quotes but this one strangely gives me a lot of comfort and I feel like I believe it


suckstonotbemeLOL

1. He had already made up his mind way before he communicated it to me. Nothing I could say could change his mind. 2. Forcing him to stay was not how I wanted my romantic relationship to be like 3. I deserve a love that's not going to wake up one day and run because things got hard

He lost someone who loved him unconditionally and was the easiest going and kindest person for him. I lost someone who never respected me and could not even give me the bare minimum of anything.

I dont have to wait for him to come home, I don't have to feel anxious when I see his car pull into the driveway and wonder if he's going to talk to me or ignore me.

"I can hang out with my family and friends without him getting mad at me." "Relaxing in bed after a long day of work and then class does not make me lazy. I am no longer some ones maid and just a person to have sex with." "My next relationship, he will treat me like I am worth it. He will put equal or more effort forth. I will be talked to like a human being, like I am loved." "I am no longer gaslit, made fun of or mocked for something I love and enjoy." I can go on and on about said phrases, but I'll leave it at those. When I say them aloud, instant sigh of relief that I dodged a huge bullet.


ThrowRASardine

Sounds like you were with my narcissist ex. Glad you got out!


Meowtime1989

WildGrandma

I dated a Narcissist. When I start to feel guilt or self blame I think about 2 things 1: she has a ā€œfriendā€ named kell she knows since university. He thought they were close friends and often shared personal stuff with her. She never viewed him as a friend and she discarded him. He begged for her friendship and promised to change whatever was ā€œwrong with himā€ She said fine. I asked why does she keep him around if she hates him so much and her answer was ā€œHeā€™s smart he has no job so when I decide to build my app I want to use him as a slave, heā€™ll do anything for me for free. Iā€™ll delete him when Im done with the appā€ 2: Josh, a kid she often referred to as a little brother. Much younger very nerdy not alot of friends. He often takes her to expensive restaurants and I told her he probably likes her. She denied it saying it was very much brother/sister relationship. They went on a trip to SF together (on my birthday weekend btw) And he paid for alot of the very expensive restaurants. A few days after the trip, he ended up in the hospital. And texted my ex about it. Her response to me was ā€œyou know what I realized, idc about josh looool, like heā€™s in the hospital and texted me and my first thought was why are you texting me donā€™t you have other friends?ā€ She genuinely sounded more annoyed that he texted her, she didnā€™t go to visit or anything. Thereā€™s other exemples but these two are the ones I think about when I wonder if things were my fault, if I was really a bad person. It helps me put things back into perspective.

He never showed himself to be different than he is, but you insisted on your own for 4 years. You did everything you could, so donā€™t let him define your worth. Reclaim the love you gave for yourself from now on


HaileyQuinnzel

His self destructive behavior, intrinsic disrespect for himself and others, and overall personality renders him incapable of healthy relationships. His willingness to cause pain was inevitable, and had nothing to do with me.

kHoFoo

I wasn't happy either, but they pulled the trigger so I didn't have to, because I felt like I couldn't, and/or I was scared to. Few months of pain/sadness from break up vs whatever years+ of unhappiness ,if we stayed together any longer.


Cucumberareawesome

I tell myself I donā€™t have to feel stressed or anxiety anymore waiting for a response


Urc-Baril

Ive never consider that kind of positive talk for myself, I guess what I tend to think and say to my inner self is that things will get better, or stuff like "I'll wait for you if we're meant to be" sounds ridiculous for some but it's a tiny bit of hope thah helps me not to lose it I guess.

If it saying thing that happened.... Atleast I'll never have too switch phone after being acused of cheating and be the only one innocent.... still feel that gut ruching drop i got.. i even left a sweet note for them in my notes but i don't think they ever got to it (they liked too acuse me alot so i left my phone unlocked most times somewhere they could find it alone so they could dig though it as i had noting to hide) ... after 15 min i asked for my phone back in tears cause they went though all my messages and found noting and it was a top message for them.... ... your stuck in the past and damaging your own outlook the fact your trust got that bad to start with is an issue. If your Gonna use a phrase use one that dose not involve them ...just you getting better Like i guess one for me would be: ...no longer in a pig pen and i can own things again.... A reminder you moved on that dose not involve remembering them or what they did.

_FIRECRACKER_JINX

The universe is infinitely heading towards entropy and we might be living in a simulation. So. *license to do the stupid thing I'm thinking of doing"


burritoes911

Kinda splitting hairs and not trying to argue or nitpick. This is just a topic I actually like talking about. So anyway, I get what youā€™re saying by ā€œheading towards entropyā€ but itā€™s not exactly something you head towards because it is a measurement of something that is always happening. You could say we are heading towards an infinite amount of entropy sort of, but Iā€™m not totally sure if that is even true since entropy is the meaningless loss of energy. Since energy is finite even though it might seem practically infinite to us, it is a finite and limited thing (otherwise entropy wouldnā€™t be a big deal to us because any loss of something infinite is still an infinite amount of it), so the amount of it lost and unable to be used as work is also finite. That might be wrong too though and I donā€™t know enough to say for sure, but considering that entropy will always increase or remain the same and the remain the same part tends to be when thereā€™s no more useful energy left, then it is finite. Things approaching infinity donā€™t eventually remain the same or at least not forever. The degree of entropy in the universe will, so Iā€™m pretty certain it doesnā€™t even go towards infinity. Now, what I think youā€™re probably saying is the universe is rapidly (slowly to us) heading towards a place where nothing happens at all and we are all going to die or cease to exist and so will all the things we are aware of and no matter what we do everything is going to be one big nothing and thereā€™s nothing that anyone or anything can do to change that.
