CLOCKER Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 Hi guys- This is my first post. I had what I thought was a fairy tale relationship/romance end on a terrible note about 3 months ago. The reason it rocked my world on such a grand scale is because of the fact that this was my first attempt at a romantic relationship since my divorce, which was about 2 1/2 years ago. I literally avoided dating entirely because of situations like this. I know the mistakes I made and where I went wrong personally. I'm the type of person that wants to believe people are good deep down. This tendency causes me to be too open with my feelings and also makes me give a woman too much slack in a relationship. All in all, it's caused me to be played over and over. I've come to believe that my ex was a borderline psychotic/sociopath. She played the classic "victim" role, and used this quite a bit. There are two sides to every story, but she wronged me in unimaginable ways. Furthermore, she tried making me sound like the bad person for telling her I was going to go NC, because I knew her games would never end. She admitted to having some issues, but I've never seen anything like this before. She was beautiful but shy, and the fact that our relationship lasted several months and I'm still feeling confused about what actually happened is a tell tale sign of scandal. I'm 28 years old, no children, I have a respectable position at my job, and I'm an attractive individual. I'll move on to someone deserving of my time. Like I said, the situation was almost beyond a conventional explanation. I learned some good lessons about people. I'd ask for advice if I knew how to go about it, but it really just feels good to vent. Thanks for the opportunity. 1
johan Posted May 23, 2012 Posted May 23, 2012 The dating world is tough. There are plenty of screwed up women out there who seem ok with putting you through the ringer. But even one with a healthy mindset is capable of doing it. Your positive attitude will make it easier for you to wade through the bad ones to find a good one. They are out there.

luvkitties Posted May 24, 2012 Posted May 24, 2012 A lot of screwed up men out there as well...just ended one that had Combat PTSD... talk about a roller coaster. Been there, done that (and hope to never do it again!). Sorry about the breakup; things will get better
