After supporting him for 5 years through thick and thin, I was his friend and companion, I financially supported him and his two daughters from another marriage, I paid for a nice place for them to live, fed them and clothed them, he never showed no respect for me. Every time we had an argument he would act like he didn't care AT ALL, he would tell me to stop crying when he didn't want to talk to me and the last time he said; "look at you, aren't you ashamed? love yourself, value yourself, stop crying because you're not going to solve anything by doing it"... we would run into each other out in the street while we were living together and he would act like he didn't know me. He abandoned me on Christmas eve and New Year's to go be with his family, who didn't like me, and he came home late both days and didn't even say Merry Christmas or Happy New Year. He didn't even ask me if I'd had dinner, knowing we had no food in the fridge and no money for Christmas dinner. His family insulted me on numerous occasions to his face without me doing anything to them, he never defended me or protected me. until the day I decided to leave, to hand over the apartment we rented and that I paid for.We continued seeing each other but nothing was the same anymore; there was a very deep wound in my heart. I met someone online from another country who treats me like a queen, makes me feel seen and valued. He found out and told me I had to choose: it was him or my online relationship, that he wasn't going to tolerate that. I told him: remember when you told me that I should love myself? well I love myself so much that I recognize how I only give and give and give to you and receive nothing back, And you're not in a position to condition me to anything; I don't have to "choose"between two men, The only thing I choose is myself and to continue doing everything that makes me feel happy and fulfilled and if that comes in the form of talking to a man who sends me flowers and letters and books that cross oceans, so be it..

giving EVERYTHING to someone and still feeling invisible in the same room. that part about him telling you to love yourself hit hard, because sometimes leaving is the first time you actually listen to those words.
