Bex, I am so sorry about what you are going through. I hope some of the pain has eased off a bit since your last post.
I had a similar experience when I was 30, lived with a guy for a year and thought things were great, until I found out he was a sociopath (not saying your ex is), and EVERYTHING out of his mouth was a lie. Not just to me, but everyone. I think in the beginning he was sincere, to a degree, but that didn't last and he just hung around until he found an "out". He left to go "job hunting" and never came back. Wouldn't return my calls. Left me with bills, etc. All that was horrible, but the WORST part was the feeling of being deceived so completely by somebody I cared about who was supposed to care about me. I had absolutely NO faith in my ability to judge a mans character after that ( I had many other bad choices before but this was a LifeTime Movie).
So, I imagine right now, you are really questioning yourself and your judgement. You are asking what you did wrong and what you could have done to make him stay. You are wondering how you will ever trust another man. Please believe me when I say, anybody who does what he did to you has problems of his own that he will have to deal with. You need to lean on your friends and know that although it might feel like it right now, he is not the only man on the planet that can and will care about you. Hang in there
