Codependency Support Group
Codependency is defined as someone who exhibits too much, and often inappropriate, caring for another person's struggles. A codependent person may try to change, or feel shame about their most private thoughts and feelings if they conflict with the other person's struggles. If you are on a journey towards self-love, this support group is for you. Join us and find others...

I have major...MAJOR codependency issues.
I have the worst self confidence in the world. I have only ever found self worth through the acceptance of others.
Most recently, tonight, I have been an absolute mess over this one guy.
He just got a divorce. I met him at a party. He asked for my number and then he said he was ready to date. Then he said he just wanted to be friends, and not to complicate things. Then, I mentioned my parents were leaving out of town on a trip and he said he wanted to come over and hang out. I invited friends to join us but he insisted we hang out alone, AS FRIENDS. Of course, we ended up getting drunk and sleeping together. I asked him why he planned on sleeping with me, considering he was prepared with a whole set of condoms when he came over. And he said "I really like you" and continued repeating that. Even before he came over he was telling me how excited he was to see me.
The next morning he seemed really excited about staying over and couldn't stop thanking me and two days after, he texted me "I can't see you anymore. I need to be alone"
I literally exploded on him. I lost my mind. I was there for him right after his divorce, I offered my friendship, I slept with him, and then I felt like he just threw me away the second he had a bad day. He started texting me constantly how he was losing his mind because of his divorce and crying and upset and I just sent him pages and pages and pages of angry texts throughout the day. I was so upset that he just wanted to abandon me right after he slept with me. I told him I felt used and that he was fucked up and selfish.
Later that night he called me and we apologized to each other and he said he wanted to continue being friends.
Fast forward to today. He ended up texting me a lot and then I invited him to come here again. Of course we slept together again, and he once again sent me texts telling me how he couldnt wait to see me and once again told me multiple times how he liked me a lot.
The very next day, he practically ran out of my house. I texted him if he was ok and he said, "To be honest, I feel a lot worse after being with you".
I exploded on him again, sending him text after text telling him he made me feel used and how hurtful it was for him to tell me that I made him feel worse about his ex wife after he told me he liked me and wanted to see me and remain friends. He made me feel like all of my efforts to make him happy and that his time spent with me was wasted. I started getting self conscious and I got so upset and sent him the meanest things ever.
He called me later that night and I told him how I felt and he denied everything and then said he didn't want to see me anymore and hung up on me while I was mid sentence.
I tried to call him back right away....three, four times and nothing. I spent the entire night awake, crying my eyes out. I couldn't believe that he just hung up on me and abandoned me once again. I told him before we started seeing each other that the one thing that I can't handle and that hurts me most is when people abandon me without any closure. And thats exactly what he did.
This morning I felt so terrible for all of the awful things I said to him and how our conversation just ended with him hanging up on me and not talking to me again. I sent him all of these apologies telling him how sorry I was for being so cruel and mean and that I knew he was already dealing with a lot and didnt mean to hurt me. I asked him to give me another chance. I left him a voicemail asking him to forgive me. I tried everything. Pages of I'm sorry texts.
And I never heard from him again.
I don't know what to do. I'm losing my mind. I feel abandoned. I feel like he thinks I am bipolar and crazy and that he is running for the hills. He wont even text me goodbye or acknowledge my goodbye texts to him. I have been crying hysterically for the entire night and I feel worthless. I feel like a terrible, disgusting person and that I deserve him not responding to me. I'm fucking disgusting.

I am single and have been for awhile due to these same scenarios myself, these men seem to have Peter Pan syndrome and aren't really MEN. They are boys in MEN bodies.....so sad, I feel like women's lib did that to the men, but too damn bad, they are gonna have to figure out how to be equal to us....or something.....anyway I digress.
First off lets start with you, you are NOT fucking disgusting....far from it!! What you are is a single woman who is human and heartfelt. You put yourself out there and got demolished in the wake of this jerk face's inability to be clear and take responsibility for his part in this situation. Or better yet, be a GENTLEMEN! For crying out loud he knew exactly what he was doing, and played you like a fiddle....shame shame shame on him! Showing up with condoms..pffffftttttttttt what a creeper!
I am sad that you were unable to see through the warning signs, and went back.....I know how it goes, its as if a wall of fog comes up and then all of a sudden there you are falling into the situation because it feels good, it is what you were hoping for, etc.......and then it explodes....SUCKS A**!
But know that you aren't terrible for bitching this guy out 100 times over.....so what......if that is the biggest crime you committed is saying crappy things to a crappy guy....then I say BRAVO you are doing great in this life!
Just know......you NEED to know, you are not abandoned by what you never had......he was never yours to begin with....therefor he didn't abandon you.....the only abandonment that occurred was you letting yourself go back and that was an abandonment of taking care of you.......
So here is the good news on that front....you can fix that, because you are ENTIRELY responsible and accountable and in control of you.....so you can learn how to not abandon yourself anymore ;) Great news, huh?
Now go do some nice things for yourself, go hang out with your friends who make you feel good, go see your family that make you feel good.......and let this piece of poop go!!
Make room for that really great guy you deserve...because while this suck ass takes up the space in your mind and soul the great guy can't come in!!
You are going to be ok, you are ok, and you are perfect!!
Take care of you! xxoo!
