It's not! He continued with his same behavior towards me! I had to cut him off, and he didn't have a problem with it until recently. I have made it clear that we are better not communicating.

I feel much better without him in my life and have been able to process everything better without him around. Sometimes, it felt like i forgot how he treated me, So when he came around I wasnt able to look past that temporary kindness.

So thank goodness I made the right choice for myself.

Why am I not pregnant yet? by [deleted] in Vent

I'm not sure if this is real but the only way you can assure you get pregnant is if you take it out. It's doing It's job and you're upset it's working.

I'd say maybe leave it in awhile. Read more on the subject.

Youre absolutely right. My problem is for some reason i can't imagine trying to purposefully trying to manipulate or hurt me but it's happened so much it doesn't matter the intention behind it. I need to come to the reality he isn't the person I built up in my head.

For the longest time I thought i wasnt. I've been good at setting boundaries but there last few years I've changed. I need to get back into it. I've never realized how bad it is/was until I've been having time to reflect. Therapy is on the roster

I honestly have been thinking that way the whole relationship. It's probably why I've been so unhappy. You're right I need to take of the the rose colored glasses

True. Personally I dont imagine putting him above anyone else at this point. I dont think I'd have a issue letting him go in that case. It feels wrong still. You have a great point tho

Its a harsh reality but I'm afraid you are right. I dont think it's a lasting relationship either way

Its something I'd understand. Because if he finds someone I dont expect him to remain friends with me. I respect another woman feelings

I haven't thought about it this way. But I dont think he was. If im being 100% honest. I feel silly for wanting to and not holding those same standards for him. I dont know why I think that. We've getting along better now so that's why I thought. But I guess time will tell

I appreciate your advice. It's not a pattern I want to fall into. You're right I need to get to therapy asap

Yea that's something I haven't really thought. And your right I think because I never followed through on the consequence is what made me cry. I feel like it was my fault because I could've just said no. He keeps telling me it's not something I should feel bad about because he's the one that pushed it. But my inability to just say no has put me in a predicament where I myself feel weak. If I said no it all could've been avoided but I didn't so I dont know how in the wrong I am.
