Dating an idiot?

[Orange85]

Have you ever dated someone and gotten so caught up on having fun and all the good feelings. u didn’t realize how many games they played? How selfish and shallow they were. Then Breakup with them then feel really bad about ever dating such a douche bag/bitch. Like seriously wonder what’s wrong with you. Not them. You? What is wrong with me? It’s embarrassing. Like I brought them around my family. My family thought it was a joke? You ever dated someone like this? Do tell your story lol

Yes and she was opposite of me and my family in most ways but i was smitten. She was very liberal to the point of radical but flighty, fun, feminine, and she knew how to read me like a book. I learned much about myself from the year with her. After we broke-up and my parents knew we were really Done..."We did not know when you would snap out of that but it took you long enough."

My friends never said a word... much but I get they did looking back.-They knew it was useless, I guess... Been there but fortunately I learned what my guidelines are..."I need at least these "3 things" etc... I grew a lot. HOw about you?

I was a take what I need and go for many years like 12. Becuase I married a narcissist. And swore I’d be in charge from now on. Only use men for sex… then I had sex with this hott guy he hooked up 8xs in one night. Completely took me aback. He called everyday wanted to hang everyday then I noticed he wore crazy attention seeking suits every night we went out. He was so fun an hilarious.. then I got attached for the first time. He was so sweet but also gettin numbers and tinder swipes wherever he could. So I the player fell for the player.. but he was dirty.. he used me for emotional support and love. I was always honest that it was just sex. Damn thought me a tough lesson!!

Wild... you have come full circle back to normal now? Neither plans of actions worked out BUT you are seemingly like settled and at peace with it... it seems? Like working on healthy... I mean for another... Hope I'm making sense !!

Best thing is to focus on yourself and y u allowed shitty behavior!! Only person u can change is yourself!! And it feels so good to control yourself and not others! Soo empowering! Hope u keep learning about yourself! That’s what it’s all about! Thanks for sharing I related so much
