I've been separated from my STBXW since March, we are taking turns staying at the house while we're trying to sell it & get the divorce finalized. I decided to try out a dating app in August, jumped on Stir because it's for single parents and assumed I'd find women who were more understanding of my current situation.

Matched with a bunch of women, started talking a to to one in particular. We even met up a few times for little coffee dates etc. she's a single mom whose been divorced for 6 years. We've kissed, even made out in her car once after a little drive after a lunch date.

So I've been extremely honest about my situation since day 1. She has been amazingly cool and understanding, I believed it because she has been in my situation. Well today out of left field she absolutely tore me to peices about not prioritizing time for her enough. Even hit me with "I'm not your emotional support pet by the way". Now mind you this is a person who a month ago said "you can talk to me about things going on with your ex, I'm sure you still going through things with it and I won't get jealous"

Long story long, I had allowed myself to get emotionally invested in this woman. Actually allowed myself to get vulnerable, and in one afternoon she absolutely kicked me 10 steps backwards in my self healing journey.

I feel like I'm back in the emotional place of the 1st couple months of my divorce, just awful. Just wanted to get that out, thanks for listening my dudes.
