I never wanted to be with this man in the first place. Somehow, I ended up in a relationship with him even though my heart was not really in it. In the beginning, things were good, but emotionally, I still was not fully invested. He noticed that and started putting in a lot of effort to make me open up and fall for him.
Eventually, I did. I finally admitted to him that I had fallen for him. But just one month later, I found out that he had cheated on me.
When I confronted him, instead of comforting me or taking accountability, he used my past trauma against me, something I had only shared with him because I trusted him and wanted to feel safe. In that moment of pain and anger, I slapped him twice.
After that, he ended the relationship, saying that I had hit him and that he did not want to be with an abusive girl.
Even after everything, I had become emotionally attached, so I kept trying to reach out to him. Last night, I called him, but he cut the call. A few moments later, I got a call back from his number, but it was another girl.
She spoke to me disrespectfully, as if I meant nothing. She insulted me, spoke to me with no basic manners, and then asked him, who is she?
And he replied, just someone I know.
