I dated one for 2 years. Fell for all her BS and am now left as an empty vessel of my former self. She did get prego twice in which I made her get abortions. After that happened is when she tore me into pieces. I saw so many red flags, but ignored them like a moron. Hadn't been with a women in years so I was loving it all. But ultimately, non of the fun we had was worth the pain I am left in. Suicidal thoughts, depression, anxiety, insomnia, ect. Some days i feel like I will never be normal again. I've lacked confidence and self esteem my whole life. The girl was a friend of a friend so I just let the red flags go by. Banging her while she was still living with her man was the only red flag I needed but ignored. Never had sex that good nor that satisfying. During the last 2 weeks I saw how evil and ruthless she really way. I could write a got damn book on my experience. Now I have to figure out how to stay alive, become the strongest me, get her out my head and move on in life and use this as an experience to finally wake up and work on myself. Pray to God I survive this and come out the other end a changed man, rather than a walking zombie whos heart could give out at any moment. Teaching this crap in High School should be mandatory these days. Got damn the damage is worse than anything I ever experienced.
You will get through it and as crazy as this sounds, one day you will be greatful.
Its easy to take for granted now but at the time mine finished me the first time I literally went insane for a good few weeks. I dropped around 25lbs in the course of a month (i ate about 4-5 times in a month). My sleep cycle was 2am-4am every night for weeks and id snap awake at 4am hyper adrenalized.
Every time my phone went off i thought it was her, every time i heard a car pull up in the drive i thought it was her coming back.
You are literally going through withdrawels of what might as well be a class A drug. Its serious. You just need to get through it, in a few weeks itll pass and you will feel slightly less ****.
It took me a good year to recover, then maybe another 6 months to be totally over the whole thing. (Beware the recycles because they WILL come when you dont expect them anymore, and they mess you up if you give in to them)
To recover as fast as possible try not to get stuck in the anger phase for too long and look at YOURSELF.
as crazy as this sounds the key to getting over this is taking responsibility for YOUR part in it. Find out why you were so reliant on another person, what you feel you needed from them.
Look at your upbringing because its all in there.
Any questions PM me, I'm happy to help.
