In the past four years, I've been in two relationships, both of which were long-term and committed(at least on my part). The first of which, I left everything and everyone I knew to be with this girl. Then after about a year of me doing everything I was taught to do growing up, provide for her, help her in anyway she needed, and do anything for her that she couldn't do herself, she just up and tells me that she doesn't want to just settle. I had a rough go of it but I respected her decision because I know people change yadayada.
Some time goes by and I meet someone else, wasn't looking for a relationship but it just kinda happened. Over time, things got more and more serious, to the point I asked her to marry me, this coming from someone who until her never like the idea of getting married because I've seen so many of them fail. We were engaged for a year, now don't get me wrong everything wasn't "perfect", but we managed and worked out our differences, I did have some trust issues because she would lie, not often, but enough to where I had my doubts at times. That being said I had this nagging suspicion going on that something was amiss, but I just pushed it aside and moved on. Then one day, I get off of work about 2 hours before I was supposed to due to equipment failure at work and I come home and find her in our bed with another guy. Needless to say, we aren't together anymore. It was like three years together just didn't mean anything to her.
After the whole being pissed, and whatnot, I got to thinking about every serious relationship I've had, and come to the realization that I either get used, screwed over, or cheated on. I don't know if it's just bad luck or what have you.
I try to be the good guy, I've never once cheated on anyone, or mistreated anyone I've been in a relationship with. I put other people's needs before my own nine times out of ten. I mean I am that guy who will give you the shirt off of my back if I feel you need it more than I do. I just don't understand why when it boils down to it I get taken advantage of.
Sorry for the long wall of text rant but I just needed to get this off of my chest.
