My abusive relationships and trying to date:101

     So i have been in several long term relationships since my sophomore year of high school until my junior year of college....I know it is a long time. I guess im not someone who just dates for a few weeks or a month here and there. The first relationship was a year and a half the second one was a little over three years. I know that I am in no means perfect but I think that I do a good job with relationships.

     As of lately I have just come to realize that it doesnt matter what i do because it will never be enough for that one person that i care for.  I work my butt off to save up money for school and to pay for things that i want or need. Now my significant other doesnt work and has very little money. Now don't think that I am all about materialistic things because I am not. But every single time that we have gone out for the past 2 years i have had to pay because he doesn't work.

     I dont mind paying and buying things for people when the are appreciative about it.he would never say thank you or anything like that.I have pretty much bought him alot of nice things over the course of our relationhip and he still wants more.Its like no matter how much i do for him it wont ever be good enough.When is enough enough?? I finally figured that out a few months back and said that i couldnt deal with this one minute he wanted to be with me then next he watned to be single.

     Well i found out that he had lied the past year and half and had been seeing other girls.And wow do i feel like an idiot. I have been talking to friends and hanging out with new ones and loving it. I just want to tell those girls that have been in this situation (or guys) that you dont need someone to make you feel good about yourself.you need to truly love yourself 100% before you can ever love anyone else. I know that when your close friends give you advice about your boyfriend and they think its best to break up, its only because they are your friends and that they are looking out for you. I know its easy to give advice, its always easier said than done and i know that but just have fun for yourself.Dont let people hold you down. Follow your dreams and ambitions.

     I am finally learning that its ok to be single and that i can have fun just being me and even though some people may not like me its ok because you dont have to like me.Eventually we will all meet that person that lwill ove you for being the fun loving, care free person that you are, and it will be amazing.

I'm glad you got out of that relationship. He doesn't deserve you anyway. lol Sigh. I wish for someone special though. I've been "sober" for the past....17 years of my life (I am 17 years old at the moment). I'm beginning to lack confidence in my ability to find that person for me. There are people interested in me, but I'm just taking my time since none of them seem to be what I look for in a boyfriend. Maybe I shouldn't complain...Anyway, I'm sure you'll find someone new and better. It's unfortunate that another girls has to be one of his victim though. Poor woman.

and i suppose that you are right
we can make decisions for ourselves sometimes.
and other times we need our friedns because they will probably always be there for us.
