Hurting

[Sushi2345]

Has anybody been taking advantage in a relationship for their kind heart and left them ? I feel I was taking advantage of how many times I left and went back and they stomped all over my heart and took advantage of my me . Now I sit here with bottled up emotions and angry at myself and especially her. I been living with chronic stress that’s unbearable for months now and I don’t know how to get over this 😔

I wish I had the wisdom I have now when I was going through life dating. I am on my third marriage. The first two, I was 100% taken advantage of regarding money. Strangely, we always think men pay, but I am the female giver in every relationship. I wish I could even stop myself, but I can't! My final marriage is good. Not being taken advantage of....but he does sometimes have to hear from comparing him. I need to stop that! It does take a long time to get over. I tend to try to fill up everyone's cups with whatever is needed. I recently gave a patient (we see same rheumatologist) a month's worth of expenses to get through the holiday season. She was going to be on the streets and this conversation just happened while in waiting room. Guess who is no where to be found! Be proud you are kind, we need more kind people in this world. I do feel that time heals. Wish there was a secret potion!

Yes! Style_23, my ❤ was hurt big time, stomped on just like you. The relationship ended 10 years ago and I still feel unresolved hurt and can be quite critical of myself and the choices I made in that relationship. Other times I am proud of myself. I'm here to support you Style_23.
