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.

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.

Ok Stephen, I agree . You don’t have to make a man chase you. All this cat and mouse stuff say what ? Not at my age . Lol. It’s so much better when 2 people come together and they both like each other. You’re on Point ! Especially for the old schoolers ! Lol

[@cheryljones2009]

I just started talking to a new guy & this is exactly how I feel, like I am the Initiator! I've noticed he is responsive to talking, but after I contact HIM first.... Frustrating, because I'd like to get to know him better, but being the Initiator becomes a "turn off"!!! Ugh.... 😣 😞

[@andreea1352]

I have the same issue..and also for me is a turn off!!! I told him already twice ..after this I want to see if he’s still like this I will talk and walk away.

Time is too valuable, be particular about who you share your time with. You cannot get it back. Its not like money, where more can be made.

I'm single and dating.dealing with a guy I am a option .but so is he we don't want nothing serious between us. We both love our freedom.

[@KRache242]

Ughhhh… and the saga continues! I’ve given up on dating/relationships tbh and been happier ever since I haven’t been checking. I can’t be bothered with the stress and mind games.

[@marchbabi323]

Same here. Because it's too much to deal with. I would just rather be friends ( and not "no strings attached" ) with guys and let it be that.

[@cindycain3301]

No woman should ever tolerate just being an option. If a man is too stupid to see you, then he doesn't deserve your time and effort.

Sometimes we will have to face this tragedy bcoz before right person gets aligned in our life this would happen we learn from our experiences & keep going ahead

A man can NEVER EVER EVER make me question myself. I agree, a man and a woman can decide if the other is not a good fit. I've met men and decided they weren't a good fit for me and I stopped seeing them. Its not always the man making this decision.

[@Macinachick]

Cos they will talk to you only when they need the booty

My father, kinda mentioned something like this

[@CreatedSpacespodcast]

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.❤❤❤

[@vino135]

Thank you. I really enjoyed this video as it spoke to me. There was a guy who came to my life and we only spoke and just went out on one coffee date. We continued to speak for a month and then suddenly he pulled away. When we finally spoke he told me he's dealing with his kids, is thinking of legally leaving his wife (they are separated for last 3 years), lost his job and seeing a therapist and he just does not want to burden me with his problems. I respect that, but what I don't understand is why he got close to me in the first place (not sexually btw) he is quite religious.

[@vino135]

[@whit5073]

Wow! This was meant for me to hear! I noticed I always initiate conversation with the guys I have a liking. Of course he replies but I felt it was one sided. I got to a point of being distant with him. I was putting in too much effort. He did noticed a change of less eye contact and not always running up to him to speak. Am I wrong of being distant all of a sudden because I got tired of the one sided of situation-ship? I’m glad to hear this message. Thank you.

[@jgemini3202]

Hell no you’re not wrong! I’m going through the exact same thing.. you get tired and frustrated after a while when the energy is not reciprocated, don’t waste your time on this specific person because there is someone out there that WILL put in effort.💙

[@anadiaz6919]

He initiates every contact, that's what makes much more difficult to see the others red flags. ... never said the b word to me but in some point the distance, the silence for couple days. . . then he lost his job and his blood pressure start rises so i started to hear " is too much going on" "i like you but i need to put my life together" . . . is been 8 days since last time we talked

[@AS-on1fz]

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.

[@photina78]

Yes, the man should be the one who pursues, courts, & woos the woman. But she should not play any games, should not play hard to get. She should receive & approve of the man's attentions if she wants him. But if he stops calling, he's made a decision, so she must gracefully let him go.
