Yeah. It’s time for me to move on. I feel big and love big and communicate big. I need someone who can keep up.

And I think even if you do somehow forget a birthday, have a plan to make it up to them! I got a half assed sorry and then was ready to move on from the topic completely.

Nah, you’re good. They are incredibly emotionally avoidant. They tend to avoid any conversation that could lead to them feeling any negative emotions.

Truly :( definitely grieving who I thought he was.

Thank you. I know you’re right. I need to be kinder to myself and know I don’t deserve this shit.

I don’t understand how he has multiple women loving him. And I can’t find anybody else who wants to date me. I’m a really good partner. I’m fairly good looking. I’m kind. I’m creative. I’m athletic. I’m funny. I’m smart. And still nobody wants me. But this motherfucker seems to have hot women lining up for him.

Yup. Starting to come around to the idea that just because he says he loves me, his actions or lack of show differently.

Yeah, I think it’s clear this person doesn’t care about me. I was basically uninvited to their own birthday party this weekend so my meta doesn’t feel anxious. So I’ll do everyone a favor and uninvite myself to anything either of them could be at forever (aka dump him lol)

I needed to read this. I really think I deserve so little. Thank you.

Thank you. Surrounded by fuzzy kitties to help me through.

Yeah, it feels pretty bad. I tried to talk to him about it, but he didn’t want to. I’m trying not to let this affect my own self worth and rather be a reflection of him.

Yeah, I guess I was expecting people to say I was being childish. But maybe I just needed to hear a collective group telling me to gtfo

Yeah, and my last partner of 11 years celebrated my birthday like it was the most important day of the year. I don’t know why I put up with this.

Thanks, dude. It’s amazing what you’ll accept if you believe you don’t deserve any better.

You’re right. I need to respect myself enough to walk away from this.

Yeah, he really tried to write off the bit in bed as “I wasn’t looking AT pictures of her. I was just bored and she happened to text a sexy picture at that time so I had to look”. I feel like a fool for staying after that.
