This might end up long I don't know but I need to know that in all of this mess someone understands!

This goes all the way back to when I was in middle school. In 7th grade a met a boy, his name was "R". I was naive and boy obsessed as any other 12year old girl was and so when i thought he was cute I told him via AIM as that was the cool thing to do back then. He returned by telling me we were two years apart in age (one year in school) and that it would NEVER happen.

Fast forward to the winter of my 8th grade year, the year my parents made me change schools to a catholic school and my graduating class went from 521 to 21. I saw him at public skate and he had talked to me, we became friends and i started to be the girl he went to so that he could talk to me about all his dumb girl problems. Little did i know at this point i should have paid a lot more attention then worry about why he didn't see me as attractive.

Throughout high school we continued to have this friendship and did get closer. We were basically "dating" middle of my Junior year after my ex "J" and I had broken up because of just dumb things. But the spring of my senior year in high school we became very serious. One night while having one of our usual talks, he kissed me, outta no where! We were together all the time, we did everything together, he was legit my other half and i could think of no one better to spend the rest of my life with. By July we were talking about kids which wasn't surprising seeing as we had spent those past 3 years prior doing all the cute new relationship things. And in august we became official.

August is the month things went bad. I on accident found out about a bad drug problem he had. Its amazing how well you THINK you know someone. I found out all the reasons him and his exs fought and the reason why 2 of them had restraining orders against him. He was scary when he was drunk and high, he became mean, abusive, and clingy all at the same time. I tried to help him as much as i could because i saw the good in him, or thought i did. He told me he was going to rehab, this is where the first lie starts. He said he wanted to change and he wanted to be a better man for me. He really went because he was also on probation for breaking restraining orders multiple times, which i also found out...it was rehab or jail. As soon as he got out, he was back to drinking and smoking weed. I would spend at least 3 nights a week in his room crying WITH him telling him he needed to change or he would lose me.

That went on for the next month. On October 19th, i had decided enough was enough, i was leaving him. I went to his house to get all the stuff i had left there over the past 3 years and when he brought it to my car, he got in my car and told me he wasnt getting out until i took him back. Girls he went psycho. He started punching himself in the head and crying and begging me and almost hit me until he punched himself again. He took my keys and ran inside and told me i wasnt leaving. After 2 hours and threatened police calls he let me leave. Whats worse is 2 weeks later I took him back. I loved him and i felt like i needed to help him. He kept smoking and i kept begging him to stop. This is where all the other stuff starts. One night in november i come into his house when he is in the middle of a fight with his mom. Telling her he is going to kill her and he is beating the shit outta her. Luckily i got him to stop and calm down but I was scared for my life, all i know is i didnt want her getting hurt, as much as she instigated him.

By December i really had enough! it had gotten to the point where i called it off and he was calling me every night. i would wake up with 72 missed calls, 16 voice messages, and 24 text messages. No lie ladies. Thats the night i would remember the most. I would go to an 80minute class and get out and have 65 missed calls. I had to change my phone number, which only led to him trying to contact me through friends, and threatening them and my life. That led to a restraining order on him on February 18th. A month and a half later i saw him at a Jerry Springer show, waiting in line to get in not on the show, and again started talking to him despite the restraining order i got on him. This lasted a week. We went out to the club March 26, 2011 and after we left he apparently trashed the shit out of his house, beat the crap out of his mom and broke his phone, all while trying to remember my number. That night he got sent to jail, because apparently his mother had a protective order against him and let him live in her house.

I am now pregnant with my recent ex "E"'s baby. He was a rebound off my 3 and a half year relationship with "r", we had sex twice. and I found out 2 weeks later that i would have to deal with that decision for the rest of my life.

My problem is, i really would never take "r" back now. but i seriously miss the crap out of him, the good times at least. our nicknames, special dates, and all that other stuff. He always did try to listen about my problems. I dont know ladies. After all that shit i still miss and love him. For mine and my babys life id never go back but does anyone understand? has anyone had an experience where the relationship was awful yet you still loved the person? :cry:
 
I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. It seems like "R" really needs help, and it's good you tried. That much is clear. It's just you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped, you know?
Never been in your situation, but I had a boyfriend for a year and a half who I loved, he was my first love, first kiss. First for a lot of things.
Then him and his friends created a metal band, and he completely changed, for the worst. Was no longer the one man I had fallen in love with.
So, I do know what it's like to love and miss someone so much. I haven't spoken to the man I loved, "T", since August 2010. I still dream about him and deep down I still love the old him. I miss that man with all my heart.
Again, not the same situation, but I know somewhat how you feel. You're not alone girl. If you ever need anyone to talk to, you can message me whenever you want! I'm here for you :hugs:
 
Im so sorry to hear this. but believe me FOB was the same, with drugs and alcohol. and i currently have changed my number and got the protection orders. Ive done the same, left, gone back etc for the same reasons u did. I think about him every day. Because that's what love is. But i do honestly understand this exactly, it is all too familiar to me. We are better off without them. You made a wise decision in leaving him. :hugs:
 
I don't know what to say... That's just... Crazy. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Big hugs. :hugs:
 
Oh hun :( I'm sorry you are going through that :( I don't really have any advice but do what's best for you and your baby :) Good luck hun!
 
thanks everyone for your support. Its just hard when everything you once knew is taken away and you never stop to think about it. Now when i think about relationships i wish i could have one as perfect as i thought ours was in the beginning. its just weird to know that i tried my hardest and he made me feel like everything i did was the reason we failed when in reality it was him

And don't stop thinking like that! It was him, not you. You tried your hardest and he is obviously not worth it because he didn't want to try for you. You did a smart thing by leaving him. Maybe someday he will sober up and want to be in LO's life, and just possibly yours someday. (I'm assuming if he went to jail and won't sober up that you probably don't want him around LO). Just don't get your hopes up hon, because you never know what the future holds. Only time can tell :hugs: I hope you start feeling better soon! Just think of your LO jumping around inside your uterus :haha:
 
I'm so sorry you're dealing with this. I've never been in your situation, but I know it must be tough. Being pregnant, you're even more emotional about things, so that's definitely not helping when you're trying to deal with your feelings for "R." At least you know it's not a good idea to be with him again, at least not right now. Just try to focus on your baby and distance yourself from him as much as you can. I don't have any really good advice. Just hang in there. And there's nothing bad or wrong with the way you feel, btw.
 
Even in the future there is no chance I'd go back to him. It wasn't just me it was other girls he did this to also. He has problems that will never just go away and I'm not putting myself and LO out there for him to hurt. I thank you ladies so much for your support thou. Tonight it really means a great deal!
 
:hugs:

I'm sorry you went through that, glad you are strong enough to stay away for the sake of your baby :flower:
 
I'm so sorry you went through all of that, it's not fair :hugs: xx
 
Ash...I understand and we talked about this awhile ago. I understand how you feel, you miss what you guys had, not what he became. It's hard, but you'll get through it. I'm here..msg me..call me..text me..whatever you need.
 
I am so sorry that you are dealing with this. It seems like "R" really needs help, and it's good you tried. That much is clear. It's just you can't help someone who doesn't want to be helped, you know?

So, I do know what it's like to love and miss someone so much. I haven't spoken to the man I loved, "T", since August 2010. I still dream about him and deep down I still love the old him. I miss that man with all my heart.

This! :thumbup:
My fob was emotionally abusive. I spent soooo many days crying, I dont think i could make it three days without crying about something but yet I didnt want to leave him.
In the end, after he decided he didnt want a baby I choose baby over him and I would never go back. Its been well over a year and i dont dream about him much anymore but it still does happen.
Healing is a really slow process but you will! :hugs:
 
:hugs: I can't relate hun, but I didn't want to R&R. You're right however, you can't go back to him, for your safety, and the safety of your unborn child, particularly as it isn't his. I think if you're with someone for a long time it can be really tough to 'say goodbye'. Just give yourself some time :flower:
 
First things first, hugeeeeeee hug :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs: :hugs:

From my personal experience, the best advice is to cut every tie to him and prove to yourself that you don't, you never will, and you never have deserved the way he treats you. Don't think about all of the cute little things you did...

Well heres my long story short: when I was 14 I had an ex J. He was awesome...until he started going out and drinking/smoking every night with his friends. He'd call me every night and either tell me I was a whore, bitch or slut whenever I tried to call him on out his drinking problem... And I kept telling myself it was okay, that he didn't mean it, it was just the alcohol or the weed making him act like that and he'd change soon. People don't change unless THEY want to. Eventually I started telling him I was gonna leave if he didn't stop...and he'd cry, call my house phone at 2 AM if I didn't answer his calls, tell me he would kill himself if I left him bc I'm all he had...

You don't know how hard it was, but I had to leave. I knew that he could be a great person underneath everying, but he needed help, and I couldn't be the person to help him. I was actually just acting as an enabler--I let him treat me like shit and get away with doing horrible things to me and I still stuck around. I know that you may have very strong conflicting feelings for him, but listen to your heart: he's not what you deserve! Nobody deserves to be hurt by someone who they care abt so much and give so much too.

I hope you get it all worked out Hun, feel free to message me to talk anytime :flower:
 
For what it's worth a little advice from someone who's been there. I know I'm a lot older but I couldn't help but reach out to anyone who will listen. I know almost EXACTLY how you feel. The only thing missing from my past is the baby part.

I was in a relationship with a guy who was older than me when I was 19/20. I'll make my story as short as possible as I could go on for days about all the horrible things.

I met the guy at my work, started dating him, about 6 months in I found out he had a drug problem. I decided that I NEEDED to be with him because he needed my help and my love. In the 2 1/2 years we were together his drug problem cause him to beat the ever living crap out of me, we lived out of my car which his friend had busted the window out of in the middle of winter, on park benches, crack hotel rooms, behind grocery stores, ANYWHERE we could lay our heads, the entire time I worked 40+ hours a week and every penny I made went right up his nose. I NEVER even touched the crap. I have never wanted to. I just wanted him to stop. And he would lie to me and leave me in bars, he would call me over 100 times a day while I was at work, he would show up at my work, he would steal my car and leave me standing on the side of the road. And the entire time all I thought was I love this man. I know I can change him. I know he loves me deep down it's just the drug habit that is causing him to be worthless.

NO it wasn't true. He used me, abused me, and left me broken so many times. FINALLY I mustered up the courage to walk away. I felt the same way, and sometimes I still do miss him. I miss the person he was when he was sweet. I miss the things we laughed about, our late conversations, his eyes were beautiful. BUT I would NOT trade in my wonderful husband to go back to him. After 5 years of not being in his life he and I bumped into each other back in Jan. We have become aquaintances but I cannot ever trust him fully as a friend.

The advice I have for you all, no matter what, don't turn back into a bad situation. I know you love them very much. You ALWAYS will. But please remember you cannot be the one to change them. No matter how hard you try, how much you threaten them with walking away and they promise, it does not change for very long. It's all an act. But don't fear because down the road as you grow into yourself you will find that man that treats you how you should be treated. I'm not saying it will be tomorrow, a week from now, or even a year from now. As it holds true you NEVER KNOW when that man is going to come along. But just remember ladies..YOU ARE WORTH IT and you DESERVE someone who loves you so much that doesn't put you into danger, or hurt you, and you DO NOT DESERVE to be HIT!!!!!! No matter what no man ever has a right to put his hands on a woman. And if a guy beats up his mother, no matter how much she eggs him on he's still a jerk. Just stay strong and love yourself. <3
