Went to her families house for Halloween and she completely ignored me the entire time. Gave me the cold shoulder and when I tried to talk to her she would give me one word answers and had the biggest frown on her face. Talked on the phone later that night and she began to tell me how she was so unhappy for the past month due to stress so we needed to break up. I had noticed an attitude and ungratefulness lately, but I thought it was just a mood she had and that it would pass. In the first few hours, I hurt so badly on the inside. I thought she was gonna be my soul mate bc we were both doing well in college and had a great setup. I thought she was the one. She talked about finding an apartment near my college town and finding a job near me so we could both work in the same city. It was a dream come true (yes, I am a guy who is into long term relationships judge me) The next morning I woke up and came to the realization that nothing had changed and I was now newly single. I began to talk to a couple of my friends and they came to my aid by encouraging me to keep my chin up. I did and thought positively the entire day. Well I just got off work (at a sub shop that isn't jimmy johns wink wink) and had fun with my coworkers. I made convo with a couple of girls I thought were cute and it really put a smile on my face that my coworkers and friends would never treat me like utter crap like my ex did. I no longer have to worry about everything I do or say. I'm a free and happy man. The reason I'm sharing this story is because there are lots of men in dead end relationships. Their wives/gf treat them horribly and they just put up with it bc they think it's ok and it's love. My message to you is to never settle. If you're unhappy, leave and find another girl. There's plenty out there. No matter if she belittles you, hurts you physically or emotionally. You do not have to put up with it and you're NOT a wuss. Have a good day and please share your bad relationship stories below!
