To make a long story short, he text me and as I thought he is playing the game to see if I will respond to keep me as his “backup plan” he strung me along for over a year until I caught him in a lie and I confronted him. Then I’m the one at fault 🙄🙄 I was trying to be mature and not have hard feelings. But he is sending me bare minimum texts then ignore me the rest of the time. Even when I text him, he responds 4 hours later because he is working. He’s unemployed actually but always has his pipe dream schemes to be a millionaire by Christmas lol. I now realize there is no way I can be in contact with him because I have way too much resentment. It all adds up and I realized the other lies I caught him in. I have such bad anxiety from him because I think I knew all along but I wanted so hard to believe he wasn’t a bad person. He disrespected me and mistreated me so many times, but is “good hearted” as he says. Nice people don’t do that to others. I blame myself for allowing myself to be a doormat for so long. I now see why he chose people (exes) who were homeless, no self esteem and came from abusive relationships or homes. He openly talked about it and acted like he was something special and they were nothing. He can’t say that about me..I have my life together. But feels like he likes women who don’t because then he feels in control and has power over them. He himself was abused, served time, etc. Not me. I need to stay strong and stay NC, I am just really feeling defeated today.
