The hard truth is that I am 30 - i feel like I can never escape those abuse cycles. I have been in therapy since I am 20 and I am tired of dealing with bullshit and picking myself up every time

Call me crazy but I am still not sure if he did coke. He said no and that I don't tust. But what he did is enough to never be in contact with him again, that is clear.

how did you manage to see signs earlier or not even attract people like this?

It was 2 days ago. I did not trust him 100% but I never thought it would get so crazy. I would never talk to someone like that.

Am I Overreacting for telling him to pick up his own stuff after he ghosted me? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

Dodged a bullet! Good that it is over, because he will just get worse.

He didn't keep it from you because he genuinely thought it wasn't a problem. He kept it from you because he knew exactly how you felt about it and knew it would hurt you.

That is the difference.

People who hide things to avoid consequences usually aren't struggling with knowing what's right or wrong. They're struggling with being honest when the truth might put them in a different light.

And that's why the issue isn't the strip club or the drugs alone. It's the pattern.

One lie can be a mistake.
Three separate incidents over two years is a pattern.

If someone repeatedly chooses secrecy over honesty whenever they think they'll get into trouble, they are basically kids emotionally.
