I'm at the stage where I think I might just give up & raise a house filled with cats.
Last three guys I've seen have been a nightmare one way or another.
First one - we dated for a few months then he went very quiet then texted me to say he's getting back with his ex (who was a friend of mine who dumped her long term partner to get back with him). This made me feel like I'd been a place holder.
Second one- dated for a bit then he turned up one night with a woman to a night out that our whole group was at. Proceeded to kiss her madly in front of me and everyone he caught my eye. We hadn't had an argument & hadn't technically stopped seeing each other.
Third one - good friend and I crossed a line and spent the night together after years of flirting. He's texting me constantly but has zero intention of taking things further.
I feel really fucking used. I clearly don't see the red flags and honestly thought these were decent guys.
