My story: I found someone much better.

[pureofheart]

So in July, I broke up with a boyfriend, for whom I moved accross the country to a new city where I had no family and no friends (search my previous threads). He told me that he didn't "fall in love" with me and ended things (the genius couldn't figure this out before he asked me to move). I also found out, during the break up, that he had cheated on me while on a guys' trip to Bali. Yes, he was a great catch (I am being sarcastic people!!).

 

I was devastated for a while. I was stranded in a big city by myself with no family or friends.

 

Then in October, while I was definitely NOT looking, I met a great guy. He's kind, giving, helpful, caring. While my ex didn't lift a finger to help me since I moved here, the new guy helped me to decorate my apartment, introduced me to his female friends, and showed me around town. Our relationship is about the two of us (while my relationship with my ex was about him and what he wanted).

 

My father passed away after a long illness in November. (My ex never once asked or called to make sure I was okay). My new guy flew home with me and couldn't be more supportive of me and my family. We don't know each other for that long and I definitely didn't expect him to do all of this for me, but he did

 

My ex is a high powered finance guy, very wealthy, very good-looking. Recently, he was voted to be one of the most eligible bachleor's in the city (what a joke). My new guy is just a normal, kind hearted man. he's very understated, and has a quite confidence. He is all about "inner qualities," while my ex was great on paper, but not great in a real relationship.

 

So, friends, do not despair. There is someone better. You will find someone who appreciates you and cares for you and someone who would move a mountain just to see you smile. You will find someone who can't stand the idea of ever hurting you. Some of you may be so sad at this point that you don't believe me, but some day, you'll realized that you're better off finding someone who adores you.

This is a beautiful story and I wish we read more of these on here!

 

pureofheart, I'm so happy for you and you've given me hope that I will find someone who is kind to me and sees us as a unit, rather than seeing me as a thing to use for his benefit.

 

As for your father's passing, I'm very sorry to hear this. I lost my father nearly 3 years ago and it really takes its toll on the family dynamic. If you need someone to talk to about this and what you're feeling, please PM me.

Sorry to hear about your father passing, but that is awesome that you've found someone who can truly share their life/love with you!

pureofheart - this is wonderful, I love reading these stories. Pain and hurt can be so overwhelming, it is so easy to forget that there is beauty and new chances and all the wonderful stuff we forget about.
