I feel like my ex was emotionally abusive. I used to really be into her more than she was into me. She used tell me “I didn’t want this relationship, you did”. And when people would ask how we met she’d say “I didn’t wanna date him”. I explained to her how it hurts me when she says these things m. And she’d say “you’re just insecure”.

What’s even worse, she told me about how before we started dating. She went on dates with guys who she really liked and they rejected her. So am I the nice guy who finished last?

I used to be highly attracted to her. She never wanted sex with me, at the same time, complaining that her ex boyfriend didn’t want sex with her. She barely wanted to be affectionate with me.

Even worse, she used deliberately turn me on so she could sexually reject me. Would tell me “come over I’ll lick your balls and your butt” and refuse sex when I show up. Every single time we’d have an argument, even if it’s minor she’d say “you’re getting none”. So I started keeping silent to avoid conflict.

She used to complain that I’m not making her happy and give me reasons why. Which I’ll admit I’m not perfect, I know I have my flaws and bad habits, but. When I’d tell her what she’s doing to make me unhappy she’d reply “you knew I was a bitch when you met me”.

About 3 weeks ago we went to a Thanksgiving dinner at her friends house and I felt like she was kinda flirty with a guy. She seemed very touchy with him. I even saw her put her arm around him. I mentioned it to her a few days later. About how I was uncomfortable with how she behaved with him, and again. Told me “im insecure” and broke up with me. Denied ever putting her arm around him when I saw her do it.

It’s been a couple weeks and I’m still emotionally hurting over her. Haven’t been able to eat or sleep. Having nightmares and visions of her in bed with other men. I’ve dated and had sex with other women since. But I still can’t get her out of my head. What should I do?

Everybody has made bad decisions in their life at some point they regret later. Some people are obviously worse than others. Sometimes we were just naive. Other times we were misguided. But often we were just being stupid and stubborn because we were fixated on an emotion or something else that made us act irrational.

I can own up to my mistakes and accept the consequences for better or worse. I said and did a lot of stupid things when I was younger. You can’t change the past but you can learn from it.

But from my observations I notice women are more likely to have to “learn the hard way” whether it’s dating the wrong kind of (abusive) men or supporting political causes that are based on emotion vs. facts/logic.

Not to say they don’t learn their lesson at some point. For example I talked a young woman who completely supported BLM but absolutely regretted after they publicly supported Hamas terrorists. I also spoke to another woman who once identified “as a man” when she was a teenager and early 20s. Now she’s in her late 20s she also completely regrets.

I bring up politics because supporting political causes just out of emotion has dire repercussions for society as a whole. This can be just as true for conservatives too. But overall I see people who blindly support leftist causes come to regret it later because they there is unforeseen consequences to radical policy.

Not abusive obviously. But he acts just a little mean to you on occasion. Basically not being always nice 24/7.
