I’m a 27 years old man, and over the past 9 years, I’ve been through two significant relationships one lasting 5 years, the other 1 year. Both ended due to infidelity, which left me deeply hurt and questioning my choices, values, beliefs, and even my confidence. Hitting rock bottom, it took a long time to rebuild myself.
Without any real support my family abandoned me when I was young, moving abroad and leaving me with my grandparents, who struggled financially I had to rely entirely on myself. Fast forward to today, I’ve managed to rebuild my life. I pursued my education and now have a stable career. To the outside world, it might seem like I have it all, but inside I feel empty.
The one thing I truly long for love is missing. I find it difficult to open up again because I don’t want to be hurt or taken advantage of. Despite my achievements, I feel unfulfilled. A few months ago, I was introduced to a girl through mutual friends, and to my surprise, I started developing feelings for her something I thought I’d never experience again after being emotionally numb for so long.
I wanted to take things slow, to get to know her better, rather than rushing in. She reached out to me on Facebook, and although our conversations were sporadic due to time zones and busy schedules, it was enjoyable, and I finally found a sense of peace with someone. Unsure if she felt the same, I asked her close friend for advice, and she reassured me that I wasn’t imagining things apparently, the girl didn’t usually talk to others the way she did with me and was subtly flirting.
Eventually, the girl asked me how I felt several times, and feeling a bit of pressure, I ended up confessing my feelings. She responded by saying she wasn’t ready for a relationship and that while she didn’t feel the same, she felt special. We agreed to remain friends, but she continued to send mixed signals flirting while being hot and cold which made me feel like I was being toyed with.
Her friend took my side, and things escalated into a huge argument. Both of us ended up being blocked, and now I’m left confused and torn, unsure of what really happened or how things fell apart so suddenly.
