Ok I'ma describe him:

He never had much growing up as a child. His dad and mum were pretty simple minded? And his dad suffered from mental health issues. His dad was also quite an angry man from what I've heard, although he did love his family.

When he was 17, he dated a girl who was... wild. She cheated recklessly on him, became addicted to drugs and also had mental health issues, which he often had to deal with. In the end, that girl slept with someone else, left him, then got pregnant to some other guy shortly afterwards. He was pretty messed up about that.

Since the age of 17-30 he's had 15 sexual partners and was cheated on... multiple times. Some of the partners were one night stands.

At the age of 26, his dad died suddenly of a heart attack and he was left feeling absolutely devastated with a lot of regrets. About 6 months later, his mum who had been suffering from cancer, died too. So he was left alone with his brother and sister. His brother has severe mental health issues and has been suicidal before. He lives with his brother to this day, and his brother is very difficult to be around.

His sister then married a drug addict and gave birth to a disabled baby not long after.

And then? I met him. He took a liking to me because I 'wasn't like the other girls'. Things went ok. He could always connect physically with me? Tell me he loved my body, or that I had great boobs and looked sexy etc.

But trying to draw out any emotions was... so difficult. He never wanted to have deep emotional conversations. He could never apologise when he was wrong, his moods would swing constantly, he never seemed to pick up on my feelings and everything just felt so emotionally shallow.

He claimed to love me and all, but I could never truly love him because he seemed so emotionally dead at times. Of course, things turned bitter, didn't they? And he ended up getting really angry with me, so we split.

Today, he's still resentful towards me. And any kind of emotion he once had is... completely gone. Yeah, he'll still flirt and all, I sometimes wonder why that's the only way he will communicate with me.

I'm still a virgin and all, so we never had sex.

So, do you think he sounds damaged? Please tell me I'm not the only one.

I have a friend whom I'm cool with but I realize that I don't really know her as well as I'd like to know a friend. We first became friends a little over a year ago but fell off for about 6 months due to adult life occupying our time. I just recently found out that she used to do drugs and her son's father "has a lot more sh*t on her" then she has on him during their custody battle. :/ Slightly shady and makes me wonder...

Anyway, she's had puppy that she's been constantly complaining about because she hasn't had the time to properly discipline and train him so he's rowdy, annoying, and makes messes. While she hasn't been neglecting him physically and has provided plenty of food, water, and a comfy dog bed for him, she hasn't been able to care for him emotionally and mentally due to her hectic work schedule. Just last week she was trying to sell him. Yesterday, she said she thought he was dying because he wouldn't touch his food and seemed depressed, saying that dogs can die from depression. This morning she said he was dead. Is that a bit soon? I've never had a dog but that seems like it happened awfully quick. Is that normal or does that sound shady? What do you think?
