Justus,
My heart was broken when my boyfriend of five months dumped me. He told me that he needed to "reboot" his life. A week later I learned from a mutual friend that he was just fed up because I would not have sex with him, and he was already fooling around with other girls. I know I am better off without him...but I have to know...are all guys this way? Is sex really so important to them that they will dump you if you make them wait too long?
I feel so incredibly stupid. I may not have had sex with him, but I did go farther with him than I was truly comfortable with, and all because he said I love you. How could I be so naive? How do you know when a guy really means "I love you" or when he has manipulative intentions?
I am beginning to view sex and relationships very negatively since our break-up and I am afraid to date again because I suspect every guy has misguided intentions. How do I get through this? I guess I am mostly seeking comfort and reassurance that not all guys are sex-obsessed, insensitive jerks, but if the truth is that they all are, than just be honest with me so I don't make an utter fool out of myself again.
Thanks,
Heartbroken, Confused, All of the above!
