Allowed a man to treat me like garbage for a little over a year. What a fool, I am.
I was dating a narcissist and manipulator… and I promise, I am not misusing those words to bash him… His face would be on the definition of it.
Mind you- I was very young and had no idea what healthy relationships looked like, I have self respect and know my worth now, I just had no idea the things he was doing was a red flag because I was young and naive.
I had been in this relationship for a little over a year. I was head over heels in love with him, he’s swept me off my feet and treated me amazingly in the beginning… However, time went on, he would leave, emotionally and verbally abuse me if I did something he didn’t like, or not did something that he wanted. He forced me to change who I was and drop all my friends. As time went on, his affection and love began to disappear when I would become more like myself and not what he wanted. He would give me the silent treatment. And, like myself, I was in love and I wanted to make things work because I had no idea that he was emotionally and verbally abusive, narcissistic, manipulative, and controlling at the time — Not one ounce of realization until I talked to a relationship counselor and researched more when he left me the last time.. Later on in relationship, he wanted me to stop talking to him, only talk when he texted me. He would treat me like shit, and he wouldn’t bother to see me. I accepted it, because I thought, “hey, maybe he’s going through a tough time.” WRONG! I became unhappy when I realized it’s not him just upset, he just didn’t want to talk to me. So I communicate my feelings, I told him I want him to treat me better…. You know, see me when you’re not busy, talk to me when you’re off of work or get the time to, make time for me…. He got defensive and said he doesn’t want to, with no other explanation. So, I accepted it again…. I let him treat me like garbage. I let him treat me like an acquaintance!
Never. Again.

I had sex with a man ( my best friend) for my girlfriend. She wanted us to do a MMF threesome and the outcome was a closer relationship with my girlfriend, ( we are now engaged) and a best friend who now feels like a brother to me.
Moved to another city where she lived. And I would tell anybody to never do that even tho it worked out for me it was iffy and the wrong way to go about things.

In university, I once tried to impress a guy I like by spending 20 hours a week during homework for the mutual class we had together but in the end, I think God put that guy in my life to make me work harder, cause I got an A+ in the class (but I wanted even higher than A+ / I was disappointed with my mark).
It was the first time he was away for a while.
Upon return, at the busy airport, I ran and jumped into his arms, crying like a child. That was the first time I told him I loved him.Never been in a relationship, but I confessed to my best friend and she said that she wanted to be confessed to in the rain with a letter, so I wrote a letter over text message while we were facetiming and I read it as I played rain noises on my laptop.
I stopped.
