He says he loved me just as much if not more, but he also admitted that what his ex did changed him and that he couldn’t love blindly anymore because he was scared of getting hurt again. I think that’s what hurts me the most because I know he was capable of giving me the kind of love I wanted.
He posted her on his Instagram stories, commented on her posts, kept reaching out after they broke up, and took her back after she was with someone else. But with me I always felt like part of him was holding back. I loved him so much and tried so hard to show him I wasn’t going anywhere, but nothing I did was enough to make him let go of what happened before me.
It really hurts knowing she broke his heart but I was the one who suffered.

i know that feeling of trying harder and harder just to prove you’re safe, loyal, and staying. i eventually had to stop proving myself to someone who was still afraid to fully let me in.
yeah.. I kept thinking eventually he’d feel safe enough but he never did. I’m trying to let go now 🥲
loving someone who is still carrying what their ex did makes you feel like you’re paying for wounds you never caused. i hated feeling like i was competing with a ghost.
that’s exactly how I felt. felt like I was going crazy
what would it have looked like if he had actually healed from what she did before asking you to love him?
He would’ve posted me on his stories like he did with her instead of telling me he was uncomfortable doing so, trusted that I didn’t leave the relationship cause of another guy like what she did, be more willing to prioritise me when I needed him, and actually trying to fight for us instead of just letting go so easily 🫠
