Trying hard to move on

[Baybe]

I recently just got out of a really ugly and nasty relationship. This was my longest relationship and I counted as my first real one in my head. So I'm like slowly moving on. I'm just looking for all avenues to keep myself busy and not dwelling on it too much. I'm hoping typing it out and sharing for others to see and comment will help me just get even more closure to move on. So me and him were together for 9 months. When we 1st got together he met me and I had my own place, car I was working and going to school. Things were almost perfect the 1st 3-4 months. Then he ran my roommate off, my car broke down and I ran into the issue of not having money to get a new place and fix my car. So he comes up with the solution of me moving in with home at his parents. We do this and I fell in love with his family they helped me out a lot while staying there. Things were okay for a moment and then we ran into problems. We started to argue constantly. He was leaving and staying home all night, but at this point he was coming home. We ran into problems with him taking money from me yet I stayed and tried to make things better. They only got worse though. He spent a small amount of time in jail like a month. I stayed faithful, answered every phone call and made sure he had money on his books. I thought after this things would get better because he promised to change and do better. Of course actions speak louder than words and his actions said Ima do what the I want. He got out started talking to females on social media again. I'd see messages where he'd be like he was really trying to talk to them and be with them not like other guys. This caused us to argue everyday almost. Cause he had said he'd stop but that never happened. Then it got to the point where some nights he wouldn't come home. During that time I was always accusing him of cheating cause I had this feeling of something being different. Then it all comes out. A friend of his had told me 1st but then it came directly from the girls mouth herself. This whole entire time though I'm still at his parents house and basically giving him money paying his phone bill things like that. So he tells me he made a mistake and we will be forever. I say okay the past is the past let's put behind us and move on. At the same time I'm noticing some weird stuff about my body. I ask him who else he's been with besides her and he swears no one.

Run Forrest, run. Seriously, is this guy the best you can do? STDs and jail terms? Go back to your folks, anyplace that's safe.

Truthfully I am actually happy to be with my family and away from him. Because he was far from the best I could do.
