Re: Can you ever recover from being cheated on or having rishta breakdown?
PC…does it not read like a case of jerk wins over the nice-guy?
Read your story and you’ll find more than enough examples of you bending over backwards for this girl (helping with homework, driving to great lengths for her errands, cooking for her family, etc etc). You words were supported by your actions. There’s nothing in your post indicating that she reciprocated to your extent or was as emotionally vested as you. If that were the case, you’d mention all the umpteen things she’s done for you…all the times that she supported/encouraged you or was there for you. She may have said she loves you…but it seems the words were not supported by consistent actions (as was the case with you).
I’m not suggesting that you act like an a$$; that’s off-putting. You should always have consideration for the feelings of others (family, friends, SO, etc). But don’t rush to bend over backwards doing xyz for someone…see if the other person reciprocates with consistency and with more than just their words.
I think that sums it up perfectly . I loved her more than she ever loved me.
how do you know when your bending over backwards for someone. In a relationship I just believe. In giving rather than think what I’m taking.
