I’m real young. I’ve been in a relationship for the past 2 years with this girl that i’ve known maybe 3 years. We were on and off a lot and that really messed with my head. To be honest this relationship is what caused my depression that I am currently experiencing. On our ‘breaks’ she would go and fuck basically anyone including ‘close friends’ of mine which made me feel like a beta. But of course I took her back because she ‘loved me’ and I thought she made me happy. Until maybe 2 months ago I realised that she was the problem. She was a real leech on everything that I had earned for myself. She always wanted me to take her out for dinner, she always wanted me to buy her alcohol and cigarettes. But in the last week I discovered this community and I realised that we, as men, are worth a lot more than we are given credit for and we deserve better than this. So it is with great excitement I say that I am now a man going on his own way!
