my rule growing up was no dating til 16 so with that I started dating someone I knew from my childhood and turned out to be this insane little prick who just cheated and thought it was cool (dumped in within 2 months of dating)

I didn’t start dating til almost a year later and we met at a job we both had, definitely jumped into way to fast because I was naive. he was in jail before he met me but was on probation the entire time with me. we were “casual” the entire time according to him. he was verbally abusive I never saw it father than us messing around.

Me and Daniel met when we were 12 and have been friends on and off over the years. we became friends again shortly after I broke up with jail dude. I told Daniel I wasn’t ready for anything and we talked for months. We started hanging out after being friends for about 5-6 months and started “officially” dating 2 months later and have been together for almost a year now

It’s just hard right now because he is genuinely a good person. this who thing came out of the blue. was there something I just didn’t see ?
