I'm new here so thought I'd start with a lil history...
I'm 31 years old, have one child, stable career, independent, etc.. I'm divorced & have been single for almost 2 years. For the better part of the 1st year I was single all my friends told me to get out & start dating but I wasn't gonna go "looking for a man" then out of the blue someone walked into my life & swept me off my feet when I least expected it. I fell head over heals in love & he broke my heart. Since then.. I've been dating. It's like I didn't know what I was missing until I spent time with that man. My dating life is hilarious & I have the worst luck in the world. My friends say I'm too pickey (I'm not gonna settle) & I've had several really good guys that wanted instant relationships & that scared me away. Why is it that we always want the ones that don't want us???!!!
Anyway I recently met a man online & we started spending alot of time together. He was the 1st man in forever that I could be myself with. Our personalities & sence of humors matched perfectly! Everything was great, I had met his brother & was getting ready to introduce him to my daughter/family (we had decided to be exclusive). UNTIL..... I was spending the night with him (which I had done several times) & his "ex" showed up in the middle of the night causing drama, keyed my car, etc.. The next day she came back & told me why she was so mad. Apparently she had been with him the night before..when he had conveniently fallen asleep on the couch & didn't hear my calls all night. Needless to say thats over. BUT I still miss him!! I had really gotten my hopes up about this guy..
I liked him so much this I actually thought about believing his lies. But I'm too smart for that & theres no way I can walk into a new relationship with trust issues.
Back to square one!! UGH!!
In all honesty?
Well, that bites.
Thanks for the replies..
When she started telling me she had just been with him the night before I didn't want to believe it. BUT when she told me she found my panties (lost in the sheets & she described them to a T) in his bed it was hard not to believe her. Not to mention the night she was with him, he didn't answer my calls all night. He said he fell asleep & didn't hear his phone. Still, I wanted to believe him.. He said that she had came over the night before & used his restroom & thats how she saw my things but I caught him in a lie that he finally admitted to. Although he never admitted to sleeping with her that night, he did admit to telling her he still loves her & that they'd had sex a month ago. He had been telling me it had been 4 months. He'd been saying he was trying to get rid of her. I can tell you if I was truly trying to get rid of someone they wouldn't be in my house & I wouldn't be telling them I love them.
Regardless of wether he slept with her or not he's still a liar. I CANNOT start a new relationship with trust issues. I really liked him & could have seen a future with him. However, he lives an hour away (I did all the commuting) & if I had stayed with him, everytime he didn't answer the phone I would think he's with someone else. I cant live like that.
