thejabberwocky Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 I didn't want to marry my ex and I have no desire to get married anytime soon. I'm career oriented and until I'm a little more successful, I don't even want to think about it. That said, I just had to break up with my boyfriend of 6 years bc he was hiding a secret drug problem and lying to me about it. And I'm at that age where EVERYONE is getting married. My Facebook feed is filled with engagement and wedding photos, every single day. Even though I don't want to get married, this is what is hard: after 6 years together, I couldn't trust my ex. But all these people I know trust their partners so much that they're willing to spend their entire lives with them. Like, all of these people have long term relationships and none of them discover their boyfriend's secret drug problem! They can trust their boyfriends with the rest of their lives. I couldn't even trust mine to be drug free and honest (bare minimum in a relationship.) I just don't understand why this had to happen to me but everyone else gets completely normal partners and relationships. I'm very depressed about my situation and so very disappointed. I obviously made the right decision but I'm angry that he did this to me. I feel like he conned me into thinking he was someone else and I've wasted 6 years of my life.
mtnbiker3000 Posted September 13, 2015 Posted September 13, 2015 Don't compare yourself to others. You will always come up short, even if it's absolutely untrue. It's the way the mind works...
