lonelypiscesguy Posted May 16, 2009 Posted May 16, 2009 I still can't get past the fact that when me and my ex first started dating, she put a lot of baggage in my lap, IMO. She said I was too selfish sometimes. Well, would somebody who was selfish look past *her living in a sober living house for recovering addicts and alcoholics? *her not having a job and being on state disability for her addiction? *her having been through rehab twice? *her being bipolar? *her AA meetings? *her "herpes"? (later found out she was misdiagnosed) *her going to the psych ward years ago for suicidal tendencies? I May be selfish in thinking myself selfless, I don't know, but I feel like I wasn't as selfish as she made me out to be. I told her that relapsing wasn't an automatic dealbreaker, that we would work it out, if it happened. I even stood by her when she confided in me that she felt like getting high (doing meth), and talked her away from it. I feel like I have a right to be mad at this point! I feel much better coming to terms with the break, now! I admitted to being a little thoughtless and maybe even a little selfish, but I never yelled or cursed and I was thoughtful about sending gifts, she said as much. Any thoughts?
