Omg. I could have written this today. My soon to be ex has told me he still loves me a few times over the last couple days. After a separation, I’m realizing that he’s honestly a terrible person. Like, just BAD. I gotta get out of this mess.
[–]_SNAIL_GOD11 points12 points13 points 6 years ago (3 children) | Copy Link
Yes please please get out! His words mean nothing if his actions don’t back them up and good people don’t treat those they love like shit. Good luck 🖤

To be specific— he’s being sweet to me personally. But, he’s shitty to pretty much everyone else in the world. I noticed it and now I can’t UN-notice it. I can’t be with him and allow myself to be influenced to be so negative all the time. I wouldn’t tolerate his behavior in any date I have, I don’t need to tolerate it in him just because I was stupid enough to marry him.

Has he always been sweet to you, or shitty to you, too, sometimes? A guy who is shitty to you on a relatively regular basis isn’t going to transform into a new guy, at least not permanently. Don’t think you’re special. He just doesn’t like people but he found someone to stroke his ego or something. Who knows. But he doesn’t sound good.

Tbh, he always treated me super well. He was almost never shitty. Really never, until several months ago. I told him yesterday that I’m still dating other people, and that I don’t want to stop our divorce process because everything takes so long to do... but that I would consider reconciliation at the same time. IF he goes to therapy, and IF we work on our issues. He said he’s okay with all that, so I guess we shall see.

Same, over 2 years of being together the only time he told me he loved me was after I threatened to leave. I’m long gone now and much happier without him

Fucking slow clap. Congrats. Mine is three years, he tells me he loves me but then he drinks and thinks I do everything wrong. So yeah, I got fed up of being his punching bag. The funny thing is, I don’t need him. He dies without me and I, well, I feel utterly at peace without him. It’s kind of sad.

Relatable content! My ex of two years never told me he loved me even though I would say it and it was a point of contention in our relationship.
While he was actively breaking up with me he admitted “I don’t know, maybe I do love you, I have no idea” Anyway we have been broken up for about a year now (good riddance) but last weekend he drunkenly tried to slide back into my messages with a “you looked so beautiful tonight I just want to talk” text...
I should also mention that he is dating someone else now. He’s in his early 20s and she just graduated high school. Barf. Clearly just needed to date someone with lower emotional maturity and expectations.

It’ll be hard but you’ll do it

SAME
[–]s_slayerFDS STRATEGY COACH2 points3 points4 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Same here too. And you know what? If you fall for it you’ll find he hasn’t changed. As soon as he thinks he’s got you again, he’ll take you for granted and remind you why you didn’t work.

And you won’t even need to look back. That’s the best part.

Like the person who wrote the stickied post on this sub?
[–]Havest22FDS Newbie53 points54 points55 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
look at actions in relationships, not words.
[–]somegenerichandleFDS Newbie21 points22 points23 points 6 years ago (2 children) | Copy Link
I feel like the 'still' is particularly manipulative. Like they are implying we did something awful and need forgiveness, or we're not good enough to love because of some failure they see.
[–]cabernetmermaidFDS Newbie[S] 1 point2 points3 points 6 years ago (1 child) | Copy Link
Definitely did some awful things. Every time we fight he starts saying horrible things he can’t take back. Like that I’m unlovable and a failure and whore, etc.
[–]somegenerichandleFDS Newbie0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
That's terrible. I can only imagine that he's projecting. Ie. he is the one that he believes is unlovable. Have an awesome cake day, tho!
[–]mayanlegion16 points17 points18 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
It’s called gaslighting. The ol’ ‘I love you’ bit
[–]redbirdfliesFDS Disciple7 points8 points9 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
I fell for this too many times. I’m finally done and I’m free. It’s an amazing feeling to have finally released myself from this toxic sludge of a mess

Because clearly he hasn’t been treating her like someone he loves?
[–]christian_hippie3FDS Newbie6 points7 points8 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
Dude. SERIOUSLY! I’m tired of hearing this from my baby daddy when he doesn’t act like it at all. Content bastard...
Fuck yeah next time my ex messages begging for me to take him back I’m going to tell him it’s
[–]ThrowawaysShmoawayss2 points 6 years ago [recovered] | Copy Link
Big facts
Yes I understand this like you have NO IDEA. I should post mine, including the part where I said I refused to be his shrink and he should go get his own.

Hello
[–]TittiesVonTease0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
A very reasonable request. I wonder why they struggle with that?
[–]fishingirl9310FDS Newbie0 points1 point2 points 6 years ago (0 children) | Copy Link
so true!
