He manipulated me into abortion and now he's gone
klg77
This is my second post on here. I'm 38 yrs old. My boyfriend (34) left me about 2 weeks ago, about a month after he convinced me to get an abortion. He promised he loved me and would be there for me no matter what. I guess that was all just manipulation to get me to do what he wanted.
Anyway, I regret the abortion with every fiber of my being. I wish I could go back in time. But now I have to pick up the pieces from that plus this breakup. Some people say every day will get a little bit better, but that's not the case for me. I loved this man deeply. I feel worse now than the day before.
It's easy for people to tell me to be glad this man is out of my life, because he's no good. It's easy for people who don't know him to picture him as some devilish looking guy...but he was such a charmer. He teaches 4th grade at a local elementary school. He has told no one of what happened. So all his friends and family think he's such a sweetie. Part of me wants to inform them of the truth. But I know that will only make me look bad. I'm just so angry and also deeply hurt. And yes, maybe I'm codependent for saying this, but I miss him. We went through this deeply personal painful experience together, and both have blood on our hands but I'm the only one suffering. He's off partying and meeting new women.
Days like today I feel like I can't even take this pain.

I am sorry for your loss and will pray for you !
I will keep you in my prayers.
Hugs to you.
What your ex boyfriend done was disgusting and so very cruel and cold hearted. I don't think anything will ever mend your pain or regret, but I do think you have every right to tell people what he has done to you. You're a human being, you were pregnant and vunerable...he took advantage of that and has left you to clean up the peices.
I personally would tell you to not go near that man again. Do not give him the time of day, especially since he is off partying with other women but is that what you want?
If so, then I would suggest that you write him a letter on how you feel, what you have been through and give your final goodbye. Have him KNOW what he has done, and let it eat him alive.
Promise yourself, once you post this letter that you will not contact him again. That this letter is a final goodbye and once it is posted, there is no going back.
Like everyone else here suggested, go and get yourself some therapy. What ever support you have around you, take it with both hands.
Reading you post has angered me so much. I know what I would do, but as they say... "two wrongs don't make a right" and my ideas may come across as too cruel, so better left unsaid.
I know it is easier said that done, but you must move on and do not go near that man again. You have to be cruel to yourself to be kind. It will be worth it in the end.
Stay strong and again, I am so sorry to hear what has happened to you.
The part that hurts the most is knowing I've already been replaced by some new girl. Like all we went through together meant nothing to him. And the whole time we went through it, he made statements like "honey I love you, this is going to bring us closer together". I trusted and believed in lies.
Thanks for getting back to us and I am glad you're getting yourself sorted. I know it hurts, but in time it will get better. Be kind to yourself and take care, if you ever need to talk dont be afraid to send me an email.

I understand your hurt in losing him. But he is a liar and only concerned about himself. Deep down you know you don't really want to be with someone like him. He's a fake and out only for himself. He used you. You deserve so much better. Try to build up a group of people to help support you thru this. It's going to be hard. I totally understand you wanting him. I still have periods i want my stbx back. But i've realized i want the companionship, not her. It is a tough road ahead for both of us. You will be ok. Just love and take care of yourself. Come here and vent as often as you need. Many hugs to you!
he did put you through hell.
it is sad to see you hurting so much
I hope he can become a human being and apologize also, but stop holding your breath ! Your hurting yourself now, and no one wants that.
You have my prayers everyday.
