Changing Her Mind
She broke up with me after a 3 year relationship while I was in the midst of trying to move into an apartment that would accommodate her and her son, while putting a down payment on a ring. Killed the paperwork I was working on to become a legal guardian for her son.
And then proceeded to trash talk me on Facebook to a bunch of our mutual friends. I know I wasn’t perfect, but I was trying my damndest to be a good partner to her and a good parental figure to her son.
I was very much looking forward to having him as my legal son, and hopefully giving him a sibling. I thought it was all going to work out. Turns out she changed her mind about me months prior, never talked with me about it, and just yanked the plug.
It devastated me emotionally, and now six years on I have yet to pick up the pieces and find another meaningful relationship. I’m convinced that women now see me as damaged property, not worth the time or effort.
And while I don’t resent her anymore, I also wouldn’t lift a finger to help her. Unless it involved her son, I would still move heaven and earth for him. Story credit: Reddit / Osiris32
