I am still in disbelief about the cognitive dissonance about the difference between the person I thought you were and the person you turned out to be at the end of our relationship.
I can't believe that you hid that you were debating on breaking up with me for a month before you blindsided me. I feel like an idiot for missing the non-existent signs that showed me that you wanted out. I find myself over-analying our past interactions, trying to think critically about any and all signs I missed but I have a hard time seeing anything significant. All I know is that when I started pointing out the unfair double standards that you had for me in the relationship and the second that things got hard and I was terrified about what was happening to me during that time, you decided to abandon ship.
I regret not listening to my nigglings of doubt or intrusive thoughts of breaking up last December because maybe I could have avoided being the one who got heartbroken first. I thought it was just my anxiety disorder and PTSD getting triggered, but maybe it wasn't and I was ignorning my intuition instead. I should have listened to my gut feeling about you never having any true intention of changing for me instead of sucking it up and shoving my feelings. I regret not leaving the first or second time my concerns were blantantly ignored.
I regret not being more harsh about your shitty manchild lifestyle. I should have taken a stand and made ultimatums much sooner instead of enabling your immature behaviors. I made the mistake of settling for less than I deserved and not expecting my partner to step up to my level.
I regret not seeing the red flags in the beginning and I should have listened to them instead of being a naive idiot thinking, "oh he's young and he will grow up" because they were really just previews to the things I wouldn't be happy with later. I should have run for the hills in the second week of our relationship when you quit the job we worked at on the spot with the reasoning being "I dON'T lIkE wORkInG rEtAIL", proceeding to not make any kind of effort to job hunt outside of paid volunteer work for your parents. This was a GLARING red flag of your delusional mindset, abhorrent immaturity and how spoiled rotten you are.
I also made the unfortunate mistake of ignoring your laissez-faire attitude towards treating your sleep problem. It was already bad enough at the start of our relationship, but once I started putting up with it, it started becoming 1 pm, 2 pm, 3 pm and so on. The first year of our relationship I was bluntly honest about how much it made me upset to not have a boyfriend for half the day, and you gave me the impression that you were listening to me but did things ever change? NOPE, and it only got worse and worse despite me bringing it up MULTIPLE times. It then got written off as "nagging" near the end of our relationship, and that PISSED me off. I was stupid and should have not expected you to magically fix it and decide to leave instead. The worst part about this is that you EXPECTED me to treat all of my own medical problems as a condition for you staying in the relationship, but did you do your part for me? NOPE.
I also should have taken into consideration how someone's childhood background would affect someone else's view of women in their adulthood, ESPECIALLY if they were raised in a very traditional, religious background. It was clear that your viewpoint of me "not being a good potential mother", being worried that I "won't be able to take care of you if something bad happens", being "too unreliable and scatterbrained" to do so, and "the sex thing" was HEAVILY influenced by how your mother raised you. I'm sorry that my executive and sexual dysfunction issues and childlike (not childISH) personality did not make up for the fact that I was nurturing and loving in MANY other ways that a traditional woman is expected to have. I know I would not be a great stay-at-home mom, but that does not mean that I WOULDN'T be a good mom at all. I've sacrified my morals and risked trying ADHD medication, in addition to getting help from multiple different types of medical professionals and put in SO much emotionally difficult hard work to not burden someone else's life with my baggage, but apparently my best wasn't good enough for you.
I also can't believe you compared me to your intellecually disabled relative because that was "the best example I had" to describe my ADHD traits that bothered you. That one was just uncalled for, insulting, cruel and clearly shows that you have no respect for me. I never asked for you to act like my dad, nor expected you to, so your reasoning of "feeling like you're my parent sometimes instead of a partner" makes no damn sense and just feels like a misogynistic and ableist insult. If anything, I had to act like your parent MORE than you thought you did for me.
The fact that you made a deliberate decision to throw each and EVERY insecurity in my face as reasons to break up with me and blindsided me out of nowhere with a breakup KNOWING that I have trust issues shows so much about your cruel, emotionally void, selfish, and cold-hearted character and I can't believe I settled for you. All of what you said was COMPLETE projections of your own flaws, and knowing that makes me very sad for you. You were 100% right when you said that you "had some growing up to do" because you listened to me open my heart up to you and mutually decide to mend the relationship, only for you to suddenly dump me 2 hours later. Just like a pathetic coward.
All I asked for was the bare minimum, and you couldn't even meet THAT. I never asked for
