A hard pill to swallow

[LightsOnParticipant 22]

In any relationship, at any given time, one person is in love, and one person is in control.

I think that about sums it up. I had been told that before but I always thought it was just cynical. But damn if it ain’t the truth. I took three really good shots at proving them wrong, three long term relationships, and I watched them go from obsessive clinging, laughing at every joke, reaching for my dick every half hour, to completely ignoring me. And worse.

My life is a shambles because I’ve spent the last 15 years chasing that bulls~~~. And most of that time being led around by my feelings like a bitch. Just within the last few months I’ve fallen out the ass end of the worst, most toxic relationship so far with a truly psychotic female. And when I walked away I thought, nobody is ever going to believe this s~~~. But then I read some of the experiences people here have had and realized that, to some degree or another, All Women Are Like That. Some are worse than others, some are more self-aware than others, but it’s the truth.

I didn’t want to believe it for a long time. I wanted that happy family life with someone who wanted me and loved me. I was highly motivated to achieve it. And I was a fool because it’s all a game to them. They might as well be children playing house because it’s not any more real to them than that. As soon as they get bored they’re off to the next game.

Anyway, 34 y/o here and taking back my life.

Welcome. Every story is unique in it’s own way, and yet they are all so familiar.

It is true there is always a dominant person and the other being dominated. There is no “sharing authority”. A thing with two heads is a monster. Order is peace.

You Sir are absolutely correct. It’s nothing but a game to them, a very sick game. I had two long term relationships – (13 years total) that ended in 2013. I have only dated a few women since then because I’m done wasting precious time on these big children masquerading as adults. Modern women act like they are vampires who have hundreds of years to find someone and settle down ??? Always looking for the better deal no matter who they are with. The last one was talking about marriage within 1 month, showering me compliments and telling me I was the perfect catch for about 1 year. By the end of our relations~~~ none of that mattered at all to her? I was thrown away like trash without a second thought from her. The Last time I saw her we were making plans for the next day ( dinner, movies, etc…) as I left to go home she gave me a kiss and hug as usual and said “see you tomorrow around 3pm baby, cant wait” The next day I get a breakup text from her completely out of nowhere? Women are toxic little creatures that can bring no good into your life.

There’s something about human nature that makes reality a hard sell. I dunno why that is but maybe the psychologists can explain it.

Welcome…

Every man deserves a second or third or fourth chance.
It’s your life to live well or screw up.

Isn’t it nice to know that no woman will ever be able to con you again?

Welcome to the party brother. Get comfy, get popcorn, get ready to be the best version of yourself.

No-one's yet explained to me exactly what's so great // About slaving fifty years away on something that you hate // About meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity // Well if that's your road then take it, but it's not the road for me.

34 is a great age to take back your life! I started then, and +3 years it’s going better than i could have ever imagined.

Welcome brother, you have nowhere to go but up.

Hey there welcome!!! You’ve been through hell, now’s about time to share your experiences with people who WILL understand. So like M52 said the beer’s in the fridge and they’re all psychos babes. I’ll add gold digging whores. I couldn’t find a worse way to say that last one or else I would have.
