Sixteen years. Until I managed to get myself thrown out of my mother's house, and into foster care.

Every pretty woman that despite being pretty will spent 20 to 30 minutes in her car putting makeup before the start of day in college. Yep I been there. How you get out when "animal logic" tells you must be insane for not wanting to be one of the envys of the college? Easy... you need to learn to prep things up... First big fight we had I showed up with a high schooler.. taller, prettier of a different kind, different kind of beauty and the one thing she couldn't do nothing about... younger. When asked I told I her the truth just met her the day after we broke up. You want to be with me... she is number one right now if you are willing to be number two to save face... Okay. But things are what they are. The moment came I was confronted face to face by both... I choose the college girl. But just because, she was there and we have a lot of mutual friends. I knew she was going to be my last steady in college I didn't needed steady relations at such a good time I was having. So we parted ways. Never to come back. The eyes of everybody were on us... We handle it pretty well... I got me a stable of hook ups and she a new boyfriend to parade. You Show me the most beautiful woman in the world... I will Find you a man tired of her shit. Same with men... women get tired too of mr narcissist. I am not narcissist but I am pretty confident I can survive any relationship... even when over my head. That was the 70's, In love I am an overachiever in quantity and quality but I have to admit never have the pleasure of the love of my life or I was too stupid to realize who she was. So I may had underachieved because of the lack of love of my life... Anyways... I love myself more than any woman will ever love me. Or so I think.

Yeah I was with one for 4 months recently. I told him I was leaving and I couldn't handle his energy, and I left him to get on with our lives.. it was a rather detached goodbye but very necessary!

I got out of it alive....barely, it was my mother.

Quite a few, I simply refuse to go out with them after a while, however, I still get regular contacts from them. They don't like to let go.

Yes.

Fortunately, after I graduated high school I was able to put the bastard in my rear-view mirror.

Tell them they really aren't all that. They'll get offended and do all the heavy lifting of ending the relationship after that. Easy peasy!

Oh, 2 of my exes were gaslighting me. I left after the last one raped me for the umpteenth time.

Yes I just got from this video-10 years on and off. It was my house. I would throw him put. He would do or sayanything to get me to take him back. He isolated me from my friends and made me think something was wrong with me.He found someone on line from Michigan to be his next victim and she came from Michigan and took him with her.
