    Whenever I'd ask him to stop doing something that bothered me, he'd sulk and moan that I was "trying to change him". I never asked for anything huge or unreasonable, just stuff like "please stop texting your ex" or "please don't point out girls you'd sleep with if we weren't together" or "please stop scrolling through facebook while we're talking" Basic relationship 101 shit that most people automatically don't do thanks to empathy and common sense assumptions that it might make their partner feel disrespected.
    I kept forgiving him though cause he had me questioning if maybe I WAS just sensitive and insecure. I stuck around feeling guilty for having feelings and trying to explain empathy, respect, and honesty to him for almost 3 years until I caught him cheating with one of the exes he refused to stop messaging. I still kick myself for not leaving sooner, but at least I won't make that mistake again. First time a guy tries to debate my boundaries or guilt me for having them, I'm gone. Life is too short to put up with bullshit.

    Victim complexes are hard to sift through. Some people legitimately had a rough life and need some help to get back on their feet, others are just looking to be martyrs and get away with shitty behavior.

    My red flag was crazy big too ahaha.
    My ex was too broken. He has like 40+ huge red raised keloid scars all across the body (one on chest was over 25cm and 1cm thick/raised). He has been depressed all his life, crappy childhood, awful ex and no ambitions. Nothing wrong with being broken. Everyone is but for this guy, he was beyond my help. He was happy initially in our relationship but he slowly crumbled down like how he was before. I’m happy to help but when he doesn’t even know how he wants to be helped it didn’t work out. When I was contemplating on a break, he loved me but being with me made him miserable so we broke it off.
    He’s doing better now though, proud that he’s slowly moving up in his work. Just wants the best for that guy, he deserves to be happy. Also don’t regret dating him at all. He was my first but he was gentle and also taught me so many things.

  • @will9001asd
    @will9001asd 2 ปีที่แล้ว +11

    Jesus Christ. I can't tell if we give awful people a chance because we think we can change them or we don't like ourselves enough to think we deserve better. Or maybe we feel that it's enough that someone else thinks we're enough. That we're lucky as long as someone else loves us.
    No fam. You won't find happiness from a relationship or from love and being loved.
    Be with people who makes you happy and don't compromise your happiness for the survival of a relationship.

    • @daughterofsekhmet81
      @daughterofsekhmet81 2 ปีที่แล้ว +7

      I think it's a mix, but most of the time awful people aren't awful at first so a lot of people just get tricked. They put on an act to make you think they're the man/woman of your dreams, then reveal their true selves very gradually so we don't realize what we've gotten into until we're in too deep. A cruel comment here, a raised voice there, etc gets disregarded cause they've been so perfect up until now. They curated our first impressions of them so we'll think the bad behavior is not "the real them". Plus we're raised to be forgiving, focus on the good, and give the benefit of the doubt. Even when our partner hurts us, we try to let it go because they have a lot of good qualities too and we don't want to be 'judgemental'.
      We all need to realize that even a single drop of poison ruins the whole bottle of wine. We teach people how to treat us, so don't ignore that first shitty comment or raised voice. Adults know what they're doing and are in control of their own behavior, mistreating you is not a mistake. We got 8 billion humans now too so you won't be alone forever if you walk away from one who treats you like shit. There's absolutely nothing wrong with being single either.

      @@daughterofsekhmet81 Sociopaths are experts at deception. In fact, the original psychiatrist who figured out what a sociopath was, said "even if you've had experience with one, you won't be able to pick one out until their mask slips". I've actually taken note from animals. An animal won't trust you until you prove you are trustworthy. Humans tend to judge others as themselves (and the exception to this is those humans who've had a lot of bad experiences with terrible people) - but generally, we assume someone is trustworthy and good until proven otherwise; unlike animals. I figure animals actually have it right, but we humans don't want to come over as distrustful and suspicious of everyone. But maybe we should be. In the long run, if I'd stop giving the benefit of the doubt, and STOPPED DOUBTING MY OWN INNER INTUITION, I'd have had a whole lot less drama in my life. Once we get involved, as you say, it's much harder to back out gracefully. Also, sometimes with some people, it can also be dangerous to make "leaving you" noises...without a back up plan.

And I'm not talking long time, living together things. 2 months long relationships, long distance relationships...

    One for me was all the lies it kinda seemed weird but I’m a pretty accepting person that doesn’t question things too often but she had either lied or highly exaggerated about huge parts of her life and I was so obvious at the time that I wondered why she didn’t want to talk about the things she had clearly lied about.

"Oh my parents don't do that in front of me so I don't do it." Anyone wanna explain that one?

    The constant reminders that other girls were texting him, and that I was so special and lucky that he was choosing me over the others.
    It made me feel really terrible any time I messed up or didn't see him looking my best, because I knew that there were supposedly other girls after him that he could easily be with over me. This mindset had me spiraling until I was almost to a point where I was going to ask to be taken to a hospital. I told my dad about this guy, and he talked it through with me and helped me realize that the guy was manipulating me and that I was in a toxic relationship.
    He wouldn't let me break up with him (even when I said we were done he kept acting like we were together around people and would threaten to hurt himself or commit suicide. I believed him a lot because he was hospitalized once during the relationship) so I just transferred schools, blocked him everywhere, and ghosted him.

The fact that he paid all his mothers bills but would hardly spend any of his money on me. The fact that he owed thousands in child support and seemed to care more about his mother and her well being over his children. The fact that everything was all about his mother. The fact that when his mother passed away, he made a long, rambling post on his MySpace account about how he devoted his entire life to taking care of his mother and would do it again in a heartbeat. The fact that he went insane after his mother's death and died four years after she did at the age of 51. 🤨
