I had posted here several times before regarding a man who was chasing me, lying to me, and eventually being emotionally and physically abusive to me. He promised a relationship and love - he promised everything I ever wanted and I let him take advantage of me and hurt me in the worst way.

 

He used lies to convince me to leave my apartment as an independent woman and move in with him at the beginning of December, which was the worst choice of my life. He confessed he just wanted me to be 10 steps away from him. Every night he would cuddle me, pamper me, tell me he loves me. I believed it.

 

Then the girlfriend returned from Halifax. I saw them kissing at the train station. I cried like a crazy person to my female room mate, and she comforted me. I literally thought I would die.

 

2 days ago he said he loved ME and NOT her. Last night she came over to the house. He told me he never cuddled with another woman other than myself. I felt like I was dying, and I had completely lost myself. It was torture thinking about them together literally in the room right under mine.

 

My female room mate said she would try to set me up with her friend til she talks to him and asks him to leave.... then I made an unusual decision. I decided enough was enough. I was not going to lose myself.

 

I pulled him into my bedroom and I told him how hurt I was, and that she could not stay here. I told him he has til the end of the month and he has to go (my room mate who is the land lady gave me full permission to do this). He denied any claims of love or feeling towards me. He agreed to all of my conditions. They both left together last night, and he looked extremely upset.

 

I say - good riddance. He lied right to my face which just confirms that EVERYTHING was a complete lie. I have no love for him, nor do I envy that girl. I call the shots in my own life now, I live here, he made me move here and I am sick of him abusing me.

 

I doubt he will pull a stunt like that again. My hopes are that he hardly shows his face here til he is completely gone. I do not care where he goes. I was pushed to my absolute limit, I literally thought the pain would kill me, and I fought back for my life.

 

And I win.

Good for you, PP....

 

I'm sorry that you had to go through that--but it's excellent that you stood up for yourself. Anytime you do that, you find yourself standing just a little bit taller........It's a good feeling, even in the midst of pain.

 

The more you build yourself up, the better your relationships will be, as it gets easier to weed out the.............weeds.
