#bad ex

[secretobservationtrash]

Me with my ex and somehow ignoring my own body language that said to run a mile away.

Just know that even on this holiday of romance, it’s better to be alone than to be with someone who makes you feel bad about yourself or alone or whatever the bad feelings are. And if you have no one to give love to, give it to yourself.

How many times did you call me your true love, your soul mate, your one and only?

I used to believe two of those were true,

But one was never enough for you.

So many times I walked away,

Just to come back for promises of change,

Because I thought that your love meant more than anything.

I hoped that the ring on my finger would set me apart from the rest,

I thought our long history was proof that our future was set.

Your actions screamed that your heart was true,

But there were many contradicting screams I turned a blind eye to.

It took much too long for me to finally leave,

Even then you still made me believe,

That you would never love someone as much as you love me,

But years and wisdom has made me less naive.

So am I supposed to say that you loved me in your own way?

No, the only thing that made me special was how many times I chose to stay.

"Well- I didn't sign up for your depression, anxiety and crying all the time."

The day I officially fell out of "love" with my ex.

Hyperspecific poll but it's weird I've dealt with from my ex

An ex got mad at you for casually dancing with someone

A ex coming down from a high made fun of you for feeling unsafe with them

An ex gaslit you trying to convince you you're legitimately delusional

An ex triggered you during sex, noticed, cleaned up and went to sleep

An ex did drugs specifically to get your attention so you'd have to return

An ex kept a sword that your mum gave you

You repeatedly were approached by people who found out you were right about [ex]

Multiple of these (are you okay?)

None of these (Good)

Well, shit

my ex has returned from his mission. for reference, my ex did the following:

Emotionally manipulated me

Belittled me constantly

Constantly tried to get me wrapped up in whatever bullshit he was doing, specifically direct-to-consumer garbage that acted too cult-like for my comfort

Was inappropriate towards/about me (directly or indirectly) without my consent

Constantly lied to me about many things, one example being when he told me all of his friends didn't believe I existed but when I met them they were confused and said that they didn't doubt him

Used me as an emotional crutch and would 'dramatically fall over' whenever it turned out I *couldn't* carry his emotional weight, especially as I had my own severe struggles

Only went on a mission because he thought *I* was going on a mission... so that he could have me as an 'instant wife' when he came back (what?!)

And, above all, he's CLINGY. My mom thinks he's probably changed from his time in the field, but I interacted with him over messaging apps while he was there for some time. That's how I broke up with him when his true colors could be seen through the rose-colored glasses I was wearing.

SO I have a genuine fear of him trying to stalk me out and manipulate me back into a relationship. While the manipulation won't work, the harassment would do me in emotionally. If he showed up at my house uninvited (my brother wants to give him a test run with himself to see if he's changed or not) I would stay indoors for three days straight to avoid him finding out where I worked or other places I spend my time at.

TL;DR - Clingy, mildly abusive ex may show up on my doorstep and Im terrified, Debbie
