People might not always tell you how they feel, but they’ll always show you.
You can’t rely on words. Words can be as empty as the people who hold them. A brutal life lesson of being cheated on includes the realization that people lie. People deceive. People cheat. Just because people say they love you, it doesn’t mean they actually mean it.
Excerpted from: Article describing heartbreak if you have been blessed to avoid it thus far in life
My fragile world has come cascading down in pieces of mistrust, chunk after meteor sized chunk. I was convinced he was THE ONE. We had matching tattoos! lol, why I thought it was kismet (fate) at the time is baffling to me now. he sure wasn't the first boy I got matching tattoos with but I was positive he'd be the last.
Women, use your intuition! If you think something smells fishy, and he drops phrases like "she's just a friend" & "I don't want to chill tonight"...investigate. I found out a month late he had fucked his "homegirl" on his mothers couch, after waking up with me that morning. This was the night after we practiced, I kid you not, TRUST exercises while dancing together.
There is no greater pain I have ever felt and it all came from inside.
How? Of course! I had read the phone I bought him (note to self: don't pay for a dude's bills) due to dishonesty and fishy-ness...and oh things unraveled quickly. My photo shoot for the day was unfortunately rescheduled since I couldn't control my tears. He was lying to his best friend and his girlfriend about fucking his friends date (thot?) ...and I wasn't stupid. I called him on it weeks earlier and made a joke. I said it seemed as though him & his BFF were not only competitive with how much they could lift! But rather...yeah, you get it.
Heartbroken. I will never love again. And I will certainly never openly bring a stranger into my life so quickly, giving them all of my soul, body, and money. I feel so used and mislead, yet he keeps saying he'll do anything to keep and he loves me so much. I can't go back. It would not only disappoint my friends & family but I couldn't live with my lack of self-worth.
Please, I encourage you to leave any advice or empathetic stories in detail. Will I ever be myself again?
