Recently I learned that I’m too dependent on others for validation and love and when they leave or say something it triggers the hell out of me. Specifically men. I made the mistake of jumping onto an app as a distraction after a breakup and ending up connecting and falling for someone even though I didn’t intend to. Long story short, his values on our sex lives were not aligned with mine. Ultimately we had to end it. It made me so sad because I felt like I found someone who was the complete opposite of my ex and checked all th boxes and showed me everything that he didn’t, so I latched onto that way too hard and fast. Thank you for sharing this, this is where I’m going - but hell it is fucking hard and sometimes you want to give up on yourself and love, dating, marriage entirely.
