AHH! I KNEW I SHOULDNT HAVE EVEN ANSWERED MY PHONE 2 WEEKS AGO. He told me how much loved me, how much he wanted to work on this relationship, how he saw himself marrying me, and the sad thing is I believed him. Here are the chain of events that happened right after we got back together:
1.) He lied to me about having unprotected sex with a girl he dated when we were broken up. We didn't have a condom and he promised me he always used protection while we were broken up. At dinner, the next night I asked him again , and he admitted he lied. I was so upset and he almost got up and left, and then came to his senses and apologized, but didn't even offer to pay for my dinner.
2.) After he contacted me and I slept with him, and disinvited me to a party he was having at his house because girls from his past would be there and he didn't want any issues. After the party he apologized.
3.) We went tubing with another couple, and this girl he works with. They were late, and she forgot a piece at work that would help inflate the tube. He blew up and called he f'ing retarted, and stamped his feet like a little boy.
4.) We went wine tasting. I packed this meal I prepared for hours. He wasn't even talking to me. He kept on humming, and then looked at me and said "hey the 80s called they want their skirt back." I told him how much it hurt my feelings. He apologized. At dinner we didn't have anything to talk about. When I brought this up I said I felt like he wasn't isnt in this. He said all I ever do is complain about his jokes of his humming, and that I can never just BE.
I told him that my feelings were hurt. I wasn't mad, but I just stated that sometimes your hurt my feelings. He said our realtionship was f'ing stupid and he drove me home. I cried and begged him to come in. He drove away.
The next day I begged him for another chance. He said one more, but if we bickered over stupid stuff..then that would be it. The next day I told him how I didn't like this whole chance thing. I said relationships take work. He got all upset and said he would call me later.
Within these few hours my friend told my little sister I was dating him again. My little sister freaked out and e-mailed him. She told him that if he had any respect for my family he would leave me alone because this is going to destroy them. My sister is 19, and she never really likes any of the guys I've dated, because she hates losing me.
But he responds. He tells her "mind your own business, and go fake another pregnancy" (my sister did when she was younger, and I told him this while we were dating)
He calls me and tells me about the messages. And says "honestly Anna..this isn't working. You and me both know that. We tried and it didn't work."
I cried and begged. I spent 100 dollars on concert tickets for next month. He told me he would buy them off me. He said that he wants to see me with another guy then cry everyday with him.
I just feel so worthless. Worse than I did before. I was suppose to leave him this time around. I gave him another chance. He broke up with me the day after my cousin's funeral 6 months ago...and I gave him another chance..and got dumped!!!!!!! I am destroyed. I want my dignity back. I can't believe I slept with him. I'm so lonely and I don't feel like I'm ever going to find a love again.
You will find love
September 12, 2010 - 11:59am — staroftheseaIs that what you call love? Being treated as though you are completely worthless and dispensable doesn't sound very loving to me. Maybe you feel you won't find love again because you are caught up in the nastiness of his personality issues, and have become used to being treated without respect, so that it begins to feel like he must care deep down, and that equals love, right? Wrong. I don't know your story Sarah but from the little you have written all I see is one human being treating another very badly, and as long as you keep accepting his poor treatment he will keep coming back for more. At least that's how it looks from here. It doesn't feel like it now, but he has thrown you a lifeline by offering to end it. I know people say it time and time again on these boards, but you have to forget about him, or at least divert your energy from him to your own healing and self-worth. Then it will be easier for you to see clearly how badly he has treated you, and when you are ready you will find love. It is always easier to be objective about other people's situations. I really should take my own advice. Wish you love and luck xx

September 6, 2010 - 4:37pm — alma25Breath, calm down, you're not alone.Now I have to write here something that my friend told when he did the same to me for the 4th time.She was telling me not to come back I came back, my choice, I had no one to blame for it. I was crying exhausted, destroyed, lonely, desperated. What she told me was: You know he'll come back in some time and he'll try to reel you back if he doesn't find another pray and he'll be doing it repeatedly but each time the honeymoon will be shorter and shorter and shorter.You see no one will decide for you. It's your choice. If you want you can come back to him but I can assure you he'll be even more cruel and he'll destroy you more. Your life, your choice.
You're not powerless. You're not weak. You're not lonely. It's only him who one more time disappeared from your life but the other people are here with you. You're not lonely. Maybe you think that you have no influence on your life, that he destroyed you. No, he didn't and he never will.You're still standing and you will.
You'll find a love again but don't think about it now. Now your biggest trouble is to get him out of your ife to feel better.
You're a strong and a great woman. You want your dignity back so take it.You can do it. show him that he hasn't got control over you, that you've got your life in your hands.
He thinks he's got the right to conrol your life, happiness, your choices, your time. Is he right? No, he isn't.
You're not worthless, he is but it's you who have to choose. We can't make a choice for you. But you're not alone and you'll do it, you can do it.We all went threw the same.
Don't cry. It will get better. I know. I went threw the same.
hugs
