My ex-boyfriend. everything about him caused me problems. He was going through a tough time with his family- i understand. he doesnt feel ready for a relationship- i understand. he definitely felt ready for sex though. Fast forward a year of on and off relationship, i decided to draw a line under the sexual relationship and just be friends, he agreed. however he believed that he could still have sex, even though i made it very clear that we were friends (family problems= dad passed away and sister 5 years before) I thought he needed me so i stayed his friend. he wanted sex, i said no, he treated me like garbage after. 34 year old man acted like a kid who couldnt get his own way. the result? i told him we couldnt be friends and i didnt want to stay in contact.
moral of the story? I get messed around for caring about someone, disrespected and treated like a whore and finally made to feel as if everything that went wrong was because i wasnt trying hard enough. I should feel grateful for the attention right???? wrong.
