Hi everyone,


Not sure who will read this. I finally was able to get to a good place mentally that I was ready to meet someone and hopefully start a relationship. I did that and he was totally on board and said he wanted the same thing as me YEAH until this morning, he told me he doesn't know what he wants and basically ripped my heart out and stomped on it and put it back in.


It took me SO long to get to a good place mentally and I did it on my own, no counseling, no meds. Yeah, and this is what I get for all my efforts. Now I know I have a MAD co-dependency as far as being happy is concerned. I am working on that, I don't want to rely on a man to make me happy.But now I feel like I am back to where I was before. I am wanting to do what I've always done to myself as far as inflicting physical pain on myself, it just takes some of the mental sting out of my heart.


Any words of hope will be appreciated.

Keep trying. I went through several relationships before I found a good, long term one. Distract yourself as much as possible for now till the pain gets better. Volunteer, try meet up groups, start a hobby, journal your feelings, etc.

Men suck! But there are some good ones out there...lol. Its like a needle in a hay stack. If anything, be glad for what you learned with this guy - maybe you need to move more slowly with someone to establish better trust - just a thought. If he tore your heart out than he wasn't worth it in the first place. You deserve better. You'll find it. Be patient.
