When I met my partner yrs ago he looked at me like there was no one else.
He made me feel beautiful. Now many yrs later we have had our ups and downs but mainly been happy I feel.
a few years ago he decided he wanted out. I was heartbroken which is an understatement. I was shocked too as I just didn't expect it. In the conversation one of things he said was he was not attracted to me. We stayed together and have a generally happy life but that one comment has never left me. I lost so much confidence and self esteem from it and it's never returned.
It's so silly how one sentence can totally change the way you feel about yourself.
There is a lot more to say but just wish he hadn't said that as I have never been a confident person and this just knocked me back a lot. It's in the past but there is not a day when I don't think about how cruel it was and how I would never say that to anyone. It wasn't what I expected. I always feel second rate now. How do others cope knowing that your partner probably fancied someone else when they said this, said it knowing the hurt it would cause. I feel broken.
