Recently got out of a toxic 6 month relationship, she was my first in all things, I'm 28M and I feel very discouraged with dating. I just have this feeling that what my ex did to me every woman has the potential to do, and frankly, I dont want to ever deal with the pain I went through again. I have never in my life met someone so calloused and cold hearted, who can just give up on a relationship, drag it out for over a month while talking to other men at the same time, and then refuse to speak to me and completely absolves themselves of any wrong doing and blames the fact she gave up on the relationship on me! I treated her really well because that's what I thought she deserved and she goes around and betrays me like this and most importantly…didnt give a shit that she hurt me. Like she literally has the mentality "were not together, how you feel isnt my problem" I have never met anyone so cold hearted in my life and frankly I'm shook to my core and as misogynistic as this is going to sound…I dont trust women now. How could I? This woman who told me she loved me one week, then the next week wants to go on a "break" over the only argument we ever had? While for over a month was looking for someone else?!?! What the hell could I of possibly done to make this happen?! …I asked and she said "nothing, you were a great boyfriend, I'm just an asshole I guess" I am absolutely mortified and floored! And I'm afraid I'm going to be single forever now and its spiraling into a paranoid inducing depression. I thought I was over her, and I am over her THE PERSON, but now and then I'm reminded of the relationship I had, and how it was taken away from me on no fault of my own. How am I supposed to open up to anyone now with the knowledge that the woman I'm with can just "change her mind" and give up on me, phase me out of her life, absolve herself of any wrongdoing and Not. Give. A. Shit about how it hurts me? Are all women like this?! What in the actual hell?! Now I'm afraid I'm going to be single for the rest of my life and it makes me sad, angry and it's like what's the point in anything if I'm going to be unloved the rest of my life? Also, online dating is terribly depressing
