Why!?

I have a new boyfriend who is super sweet but I keep going back to my first boyfriend who I broke up a year ago but about half a year ago he started flirting with me then told me that “he couldn’t have a relationship right now” (he got a girlfriend the next week) and that he “can’t trust me after what I did” (told him I needed space to think since my mental health was not in a good place) Plus he told me that he was only playing with my feelings. He would always tell me how pretty I was and I would always wake up to a “good morning beautiful” text. I loved him and really thought that he loved me. Why can’t I get over him and live a happy life!? Is it because I don’t feel good enough about myself to let myself be happy with this amazing guy? Am I just hung up on a player because he knows how to use me like a puppet? Any other ideas of what could be holding me back? I really just want to be happy and carefree for once!

When you think one thing & he was honest enough to say he’s a player it’s hard to digest someone could mess with you. It proves men can say anything & get off on the attention. Who knows what they might get out of it lol. It’s like looking for approval you’re good enough. He knew it was wrong and you should move on. It wasn’t real to him. & that oddly wasn’t about you. Hard to believe but truth.

Would it be a good time for you to take a break from boyfriends?

You sound a bit like me when I was younger. Love can be an addiction, just as bad as pills or booze.

I haven’t had one for at least a year and I thought I was good until this week. I don’t know what happened

sometimes is good to separate yourself from people who don't add to your emotional, or whole life. When confusion sets in mind, don't entertain the thoughts of doubt or anything negative. Enjoy your new chapter!

Not what you're looking for?
