We ignore red flags because we want to be loved and sometimes they come at a time when we feel vulnerable andor lonely
Did you start your relationship when you were 13?
Why do you want to do that?
You don’t have to date other people just because he wasn’t faithful
You started dating at a young age. Why don’t you give yourself some time for yourself?
Well. In this case, I think no need for advice.
It doesn’t matter. Your mindset is very different to mine. I can’t help, sorry.
I’ll tell you something from my personal experience. Last year I decided to give dating apps a go. 😱
I met a couple of men who claimed to be interested in being exclusive with me from the very beginning. Even before I had decided to give them a chance.
Very soon after that, I found them on other dating apps. While they were chatting with me or even having dinner with me.
So what did that teach me?
People don’t want to be exclusive. It’s a lie.
Yes, it’s very legit what you want
Although you might be looking for in the wrong place I think
Life together is very high expectation nowadays. Take it easy. One step at a time
But you are telling yourself a story of personal blaming
For different reasons, you didn’t feel comfortable. It could have been him, or you, or the communication, or the lack of it, or your needs not being met….
You said: “I’m convinced he might be a good guy”
This is your fear of being alone speaking.
He could actually be a good guy, but for different reasons, you don’t seem to be ready for a relationship
I don’t know what to say to people who start on long relationships at such a young age. Sorry, I can’t help you.
