all that glitters isnt gold

[hoppy28]

so...............i couldnt find a better title then that. it just about raps my hole story up into 5 words.

 

acouple months back i was blindsided by a woman. she came out of no where. i admit i never fell this hard for a female in my life. she was everything i had imagined. i felt my life was complete. i lived in a month of bliss.

it all came to a sudden stop a month after meeting. i heard from a close friend that there was another guy in the picture. i never questioned her or called her out on it. i took my pride an walked away without speeking a word.

ive made the mistake in the past.........i wasnt about to do it again. she had tried calling me after acouple weeks. only once. i responded but was forced to leave a message.

to be totally honest i was pretty bummed out. i was completly ditched by this woman. i felt used......embarresed and just about every other emotion one can feel after being lead on and decieved. i took the hit on the chin and had some good and bad days.

i didnt see her for acouple months even though we had mutual friends.

im sure they kinda felt in the middle so they probably kept us seperated. mostly for my good im sure as she was with someone else anyway. acouple weeks ago i saw her very quickly at a party. she showed up as i was leaving.

we didnt exchange words.

this past weekend was a planned party and of course she was there.

she said hello and i responded. throughout the night i just outright tried to avoid being around her. talk about akward. i just didnt know what to say.

as the night progressed she got drunker and drunker. i knew her night was going to be a disaster. she eventually ended up throwing up and being "that drunk girl". i was embaressed for her. all i could do even though i wanted to do more was sit back and watch. at one point i tried to stop someone from feeding her more shots. she eventually drank it.

what bothered me the most was seeing her become prey to the "dogs"

of the crowd. at one point in the night i would have put money on her taking someone home. she doesnt just get attention but she puts herself into situtaions to get it. this girl craves attention from guys. she had moved into town not to long ago and had just gotten out of a 6 year relationship.

i was her first victim. any guy who is giving her attention is her vicitm.

at the end of the night i left with a friend of mine. it was super late.

leaving her there with one of the "dogs" wasnt a good feeling at all. i somehow wanted to protect her that night even though she did me so wrong.

i would have bet my wallet on them hooking up that night.

the next morning i woke up with a headache but also a differant mentality. i realised for the first time that this woman wasnt whom i thought her to be and she certainly wasnt the right woman for me. i tried putting myself in the other guys shoes whom she is supposedly serious with. i felt horrable for him just for a second even though he's the one she left me for.

not only did she humiliate me but even worse she has slept with a few other guys while seeing this guy. unfortunatly for him he lives in another town and im sure he doesnt know what she's really up to. after this past weekend she may have done it again.

what i realised is that "all that glitters isnt gold". this girl morfed herself into this perfect person. all the meanwhile she's exactly what i dont need or want in my life. what a learning experience this was. at 28 years old

i finally just realised this. i was fooled 100%. absolutly fooled!!!

on the bright side im very thankfull she's no longer "my problem".

Good story, Hoppy. I think a lot of people here could benefit from that reminder. (Myself included).

Going by the thread title, I thought post was about me.
