I’m a 23 year old female in my last year of college. I just recently broke up with my ex in July because during our entire relationship he was going through extensive measures to creep on his exes social media/going to actually see her (I found out about this later). It was weird and made me very uncomfortable. I had a friend pass away and instead of being supportive and being there for me, he was busy making burner Instagram accounts and creeping on other women. He might have paid for 5 of my meals, would never plan a date, I had to beg him to try and do something for my birthday, AND constantly made me feel like i was the scum of the earth. It wasn’t like this in the beginning (it never is) and I’m glad I got out while I still had a shred of sanity left. No amount of arguing with him, CoMmUnIcAtInG, begging, pleading, catching him in the act would stop or get him to change his ways. He is without a doubt, a LVM. Looking back, I wish I would’ve found this page sooner. I would’ve cut it off a long time ago. All of your all’s posts really give me a sense of warmth and understanding. It’s comforting to know that I wasn’t really crazy or insecure the entire time, he was just gaslighting me. Thank you guys so much for validating my feelings.
