I was in a situationship for 2.5 years. Before you say anything, I know. I didn’t know my worth at the time and was suicidal. It was a cycle of him being nice, hurting me, and then waiting for a month to come back wanting to “try” again. The guy even called from different numbers after getting blocked. He emotionally abused me to the point I tried kms and was in a mental hospital for a week. Almost a month after, he messaged me wanting to explain himself. His explanation was that his “ex” had messaged while we were hanging out and it messed him up. Well, I figured out who the girl was (I know her) and it sent me spiraling. He was seeing her during the time I was seeing him. He would take her places while I was begging him to treat me like a human being. While I do think I’m pretty and so is the girl, she looked so opposite of me. He went on talking about how he saw a future with her, but he was done with it and wanted to try with me again. I told him about my health, and that I couldn’t handle being treated poorly again. He pretended to care and used me again.
I don’t know how to get over it because I’m so angry for letting it happen and my naivety. I’m not hateful, but I fantasize about horrific things happening to him. I also can’t stop comparing myself to the girl for the life of me. I would tell him that it’s fine to not see each other anymore, but he’d always come back. The girl was choosing between another guy and him. So, he was using me as a back up. Thankfully, she chose the other guy.
I think I’ve lost a lot of my ability to feel empathy, including toward myself. This isn’t the first relationship where I’ve been abused. I’m not talking about just romantic either. I’m actively working on healing. I no longer let people walk all over me, but the anger comes back. When people are rude, it quite literally feels like my head is on fire. I want to hurt them. I don’t in any way, but it takes a lot of control. I hate feeling that. How do I let things go?
