Search Results: still not over my ex

Say they’ve decided to message you (you’re still hurting and not really over them) would you tell them how much they’ve hurt you in the past and how it makes you feel or not?

OBS! this will get a lot of hate from the feminists... Many people will say my ex was toxic. And I get why. But he protected me to the point he rather have me hate him and I'm safe than me being in danger and happy. Thinking back evan moments where I wanted to punch him in his face I realized he loved me.

Wether it was me not being allowed to walk out alone in the dark at night or me running away from home after arguing with my parents.. he would tell me to turn around to go home or he will throw me over his shoulder and take me home himself.

Or if I was hysterically crying he would pinch me down and hold me still until I calm down not leaving me evan though that's all I wanted. Cause he knew I would hurt myself if he did.

If I ever was in danger I would call him and he would come meet me up. Like one time a man was following me and I called him and he came running down. Or yesterday on my way home from work a crazy woman was following me and I called him and he stopped his gym work out and told me exacly what to do...(we are still friends).

There are more stuff he has done and is doing that I could name here that are annoying but I know he cares..

He sure can be an ASSHOLE in his own way but I'm not sure I would be here today if it wasen't for him. But am not ready to give him that ego boost...😣

Anyways I'm wondering if women would want a man to protect them like this evan when they don't want it? And would men do it?

I realize I do in the long run.

Was with my ex boyfriend once, and he was driving us to go somewhere irrelevant to the story. I was wearing a pair of old flip flops of mine, and he leans over from his spot driving and very awkwardly compliments my shoes. I was kinda startled, because we were pretty early into our dating relationship, and he rarely complimented me, and if he did it seemed strained. I chalk that up to his awkwardness, but still.

It’s something that’s stuck with me, because I don’t understand why he’d compliment my flip flops? It’s not like they’re actually anything cute, they’re kinda old and very plain looking. I can only assume he was looking at my feet and wanted to compliment me but didn’t know a less weird way to do it?
