Carrying past hurt

[Anonymous]

Today I realized I am carrying past relationship hurt. I’ve been happily single for a while after dating for some years. During my dating time I ran across guys who were dishonest, using for sex, unfaithful, and some who straight up hated women.

I’ve been dating some new who I like. He seems sweet and says he likes me a whole lot. During sex I had flashbacks of all the jerks from my past, and how I once thought they were nice too. In that moment I realized I’m tired of being disappointed.

Does this mean I need to stop dating again?

You don't need to break up with a great guy. Sounds like therapy may be useful for you. It's GREAT that after being with crap men you found a good one!

I understand how you can feel this way. Dating sucks.

I feel like I could have wrote this myself.

Glad you found a good one and I hope it works out for you.
