Just to clarify I didn’t dump him-it was mutual that after he confessed we would end things. I was hurt (perhaps shocked isn’t how I’d describe it) because he reached out to me in July (not to rekindle but to talk) and then now is like nope I don’t want to, despite the fact that he was emotionally abusive throughout and has never once really acknowledged how he made me feel. It felt like very selfish reasoning as he was entirely at fault and has hurt me immensely
The word “trauma” has been thrown arround so much that it has lost all meaning specially in this snowflake generation.
If she doesnt want to do something thats important to him, then fine, but dont expect him to be okay with that, dont expect that him will be obliging to everything that she deems important for her, or even than he stays in said relationship. He has to take the No, but he doesnt has to take it willingly.
It's worth asking.
Fair enough. But also to be fair, op said a few of his friends had been cheated on, not all of them.
