Really frustrating ma dear

[@trupinys1979]

It was 3 months for me, and long distance (different countries, not too far away), but wow, did I think I finally found someone interesting. He initiated frequent contact EVERY DAY without fail for three months. We discussed ideas about finally meeting. Only to then skip a day, and when I reached out the next day he informed me (in a totally ridiculous, beat-around-the-bush way) that he got back together with his girlfriend. Two days before this he was still flirting with me. What? No, that just doesn't happen. I was always an option, and it's horrible to realise. It's horrible to suddenly lose contact completely after talking every day for three months. It feels like he suddenly died. Or that some part of my body was amputated without me being informed. My god... I'm just happy it wasn't six months or a year. Although it probably wouldn't have lasted that long because I would've started asking very direct questions about our meeting. But it's so awful that I never even got to actually meet him after investing so much emotionally and clicking with that person so well. I feel so stupid and sad.

[@Elle3211]

Sometimes it's simply poor character. Good people, especially good men, treat people well. A good man will not mistreat women nor intentionally hurt them to satisfy his desires or boost his own ego and low self-esteem. Good men treat women with respect and act with an innate duty to PROTECT rather than hurt women. Do not make excuses for low life philandering men. It's not you. It's him. Thank God for allowing you to discern his true character and MOVE ON.

[@joanwallace1962]

Being secure with who you are as a woman is key to being able to accept that not every man you want will want you. It is both character building and confidence boosting to be able to walk away assertively with your head held high, from anyone who does not treat you as well as you deserve to be treated but first, you have to know your own worth and not accept breadcrumbs when you deserve a three course meal. Thanks again for another short but sweet video, however it was so short I feel that you only gave us a starter with no main course or desert.

I'm not looking for something serious" I cut it off I thanked him for the time spent and wished him well. reminded him that I'm seeking an amazing connection with one person. Then told him I no longer will be connecting with him. He said I left items at my place and I kindly said he can todd them. He then said wow I guess you really don't want to see me anymore?

Solid core Self Value is Key to One’s, well-Being!!! The sooner you see if a man for instance flirts and looks at every beauty that walks by, or you feel devalued around him by his actions or comments then you MUST WALK! Or you are agreeing (even unaware of it) to be devalued, whether you are conscious of it or not, that being “less than”, others is OK, it’s Not OK. Walk away, what you Hope for can be toxic if it’s showing up as something other than what you Hope for! Walk. Take your Valuable Self, and BAIL. You/We are all of great value! Protect your most valuable asset, yourSelf! Your ❤ is priceless…. Don’t settle for less than your worth and if you feel worth less, then get help, because you need to Right That! You and your love and devotion is a Beautiful Gift. Don’t give it away to anyone who doesn’t deserve it!

Im a woman and this is the current situation Im in. We like each other-A LOT. Connection and everything. The only issue is because of recession and priorities with business, his job and other mental/emotional issues that have not been settled yet, it’s just not a good time for us to move forward. So I took it to myself to just be friends with him atm. It still hurts though because you’ve found someone that you want to be with yet you dont have anything to give right now as I am in my season of rebuilding and healing.

[@artbysid]

How are things going with that? Is the joy of the friendship proving to be enough and sorta acting as a way of building a foundation for something more in the future. Sometimes it seems we gotta "wait on our hands" and let things progress while knowing we can at least be in each other's life in some shape or form.

[@iammanna]

I can't detach right now, the loss is something I cant fathom. So trauma for now it is. I respect your comment so much, so honest and strong!!

[@danilaroche1156]

It hurts because you have a soul tie. If he truly loves you, he'd propose and you build together. Distance yourself.

@@carolynnwhite2807 aww SIS I completely understand 😔 but together can be just as painful. I hope that him leaving to be better for you indeed is what happens. Take this time to heal to be better for you to hun. Look into attachment styles. I found I'm an anxious one and my SO is an dismissive avoidant 😒 It's hard out here.

[@lindseyowen5968]

I have been an option. It wasn’t always that way. We were happy for many years. Then something changed. He started to treat me like an availability for lack of a better word. I blame myself in some ways because I forgave and overlooked so much, that it is little wonder he saw me as a ‘safety net’. Anyway, he walked out without a word the day after we had celebrated our ten year anniversary and had a great day. He has made little effort since. I get the feeling he thought I would be calling him begging him to come back, but I didn’t. I was broken for a few weeks and it was hard not to ask him to come back even though I knew I was just convenient. I have to be honest, the main thing that stopped me is the fact that our child would also be affected by my doing that. He would be in and out of our lives treating me like crap in between. I care about my child more than I care about myself or anyone else (obviously, as a mother should) and I was not gonna allow him to go through that. My baby is what kept me strong. It’s been about 6 weeks now. He hasn’t visited his child or paid a penny towards him. He didn’t even come when our child was diagnosed with autism. He had this mask that he would wear for the outside world showing himself to be a great father, well, that mask has been lost. He has many masks, his true face that was only shown behind closed doors was the most ugly and cruel. I’m not an option or a safety net anymore, I’m still healing but I’m staying strong for my son. I will continue to do so. Eventually my heart will heal. I’m never gonna be treated like that again. I’d rather be single forever. Maybe I will be? Who knows? The point is that we deserve better, each and every one of us female, male and non binary. Never be anyone’s convenience.

[@tiffanysbeautifuljourney]

When you are clear on what you want!!When you are solid on what type of woman you truly are. You will never allow a man not for one moment to treat you as an option. The moment you feel like he’s treating you like an option, you will have the courage to walk away and never look back even if you had real genuine feelings for the person. The love and respect you have for yourself will allow you to make the best decision for your highest good.❤❤❤

I just came out of a relationship filling like a i'm not good enough because i don't have enough money an because i'm too "negative" wich i'm not. Even tho intelectually i know to the core that i bring a lot of positive things to the table, it's really hard to distance myself of thosr believes because i really was open and vulnerable with this person and i trusted him with my heart and he just stepped all over it. I don't recognise myself anymore, there's just so much trauma that the mind, body and soul can bare.

[@Chris777.]

The problem is that most men promise so much in the beginning, they talk and what this and after that they rune away. That’s when some women get confused and it’s get harder to let go because you think of all that things in the beginning. All those calls and messages. I would never ever do that even if I’m super interested in a guy. I don’t say much and see how it will go when we meet. And if I’m not feeling it and tell him that. He won’t get that disappointed because I didn’t talk bullshit. Be real and don’t play with other feelings. Unfortunately some men do,,,, of course some women to

[@MacChicken-up2rl]

Thanks I got so sick of the “you can do it” then the negativity…”no you can do it.” That’s how it felt he could just never make up his mind I think our toxicity was just mirroring each other but we have been doing this off and on for ten years. I was also always initiatiating and planning everything was so annoying I don’t want to be his mother he has one so he can have her but I’m done. 😂

[@kellegeez]

I think we give too much credit to men thinking that if they want you then they'll come to you or know what they want and how to express it perfectly and clearly. I think we expect a man to be totally confident in his choices and knowing exactly if he wants to be committed and all that. Not all men know all of that. They can want you but don't have the confidence to go after you properly or express himself the way he needs to.

[@rachaalb30]

I agree with this! Most men have don’t have the ability to express themselves. Especially in the way we think they should. Some men suffer from trauma or whatever else so it may take them longer to realize or understand what they want. Hope this makes sense…

[@Adelina24244]

Reminds me of my ex he came back and I was anxious because a guy in the past did that. Three years later we are still heartbroken and told me to leave the hurt in the past. He never mentioned about continuing to see each other but prayed to God for us to correct our affairs and make it easy for us
