Why did i lower my standards for him?

I found out that he was texting other girls and when I asked him he denied it, but I got proves. I lowered my standards for him and I did things that I shouldn’t do. I feel bad now not for him, but for myself that I did all these things and I had science since the beginning, but I kept going oh God it hurts so much.

I feel you. I lowered my standards for my toxic ex but he stilled couldn't reach them or even bothered to step up. The only person who can change him is himself and if he couldn't for me I doubt he will with the next girl (if any want to put up with his BS). He also denied things to me until I showed him proof and he suddenly "remembered". I did everything for him as well like it was mommy daycare center. It's hard, but we deserve better and just know you will find someone better! I saw by allowing his behavior to continue I took it as "this is what I deserve" when it really isn't. It will take time to move on, but you have to do what's best for you even if it will require you be feel lonely for a while. Let him face the consequences of his actions.

that horrible feeling of realizing your gut knew something was wrong while you kept giving them chances. i remember being more angry at myself for what i tolerated than at my ex, and damn, that hurt.

i felt so ashamed of the things i accepted after finding out the truth, but i had to stop punishing myself for loving someone and hoping they would be honest with me.

i hear you saying you had signs from the beginning, do you think the part hurting you most right now is what he did, or knowing you ignored that feeling because you wanted the relationship to work?

he will regret in future and beg for your love because he noticed that girl will not love him more than you , when he notice and miss you just don't say yes directly.

I feel ya girl. I've wasted plenty of time on guys that didn't deserve me. At least you're aware of it. That's progress!
