Hello, I have just found this forum and was wondering if anyone could give me advice on my situation,
Just over a year ago I started to feel something for this girl and we were spending time together and talked about it and she liked me also, we didnt see each other for a month as she had exams and I wanted chance to think about whether we should be together as I had never had a girlfriend before,
then a month later we were together all the time and this was very nice as I had never had someone to be so close to before and with her it felt very natural and unlike anything I had experienced before, another month and we had slept together her being my first time but then previous to all of this we had both chosen to spend our summers differently me going to one country and her to another for most of the time,
Just before all of this she started to borrow money from me as she was having money troubles and I gave in to this after originally saying I didnt want money to be involved as it would make me feel uncomfortable and make me think maybe she only wanted to be with me for money reasons,
I eventually had to pay a lot of money for her to people she owed it to and quite a lot of my friends at that time were opposed to me being with her and made me feel like she didnt really want to be with me which confused me, in the end I kept deciding to end it with her but then getting back with her as she was my first love, I was very confused and then after a few more months of confusion and not being totally sure about her but seeing as id never had a girlfriend before keeping it going,
she never listened to me though if I had a problem with something she did or said I would tell her but she would never listen and the problem whatever it was would occur again and again, eventually as we decided to be together we both moved away together and were living together for a short while which was too much and she worked while I was stuck in the middle of nowhere all day and if I went out she got annoyed as she couldnt, she seemed to spend a lot of her time making me feel guilty for things when I did nothing wrong or trying to make herself out to be the best girlfriend in the world by saying other girlfriends wouldnt do this (which I knew wasnt right)
though I stuck with her as I had always thought my first love would last and it would get better and it was just the siutation, however it never got better and after a while she moved again for work and we got to spend less time together and I just didnt feel like she had cared about me enough even though I had given up a lot by this time to help her in many ways, I decided to end it again and I moved away not long after and have now reflected and cant believe how badly she treated me at times or how manipulative she was, I treated her very well until she got too much for me and I started to tell her exactly what she was like which she knew but hid away so it was hard to listen to,
Anyway, Now I am very lost on the whole subject of relationships and dont know what to think plus I am unhappy about how she can live after being so horrible to me and treating me so badly and manipulatively, I feel very hurt and it wont go away and I have not been able to function much since we broke up about 4 months ago, I am so annoyed that something so perfect in many ways can be so bad in more other ways ![Sad :(](./images/smilies/icon_sad.gif)
