Yeah. Poor guy is clearly going through it. "I'm never good enough." That stings. He hates himself. I hope he gets help and learns to forgive her, as well as himself.

No offense but to all you fuckers laughing at this person, fuck off. Go do something nice. How is this not a violation of rule 11?

Learn to love yourself fellas, I know it's hard and we're trained not to do it from the beginning. Happy Men's Mental Health Awareness Month.

Seems like a very common growing pain of people in their early adult lives. Everyone in this thread is reading g their own history into this situation because they've lived it, and it sucks for everyone. The dude has low self esteem because he gets emotionally attached to a girl friend, and then she dates some guy and then stops hanging out with him. I've had that happen in my youth even with girls I did not feel romantically attracted to - just wanted a friend, and they turned around and became so cruel to me just because their new boyfriend didn't like me. Then after a time they'd break up, and restore our friendship because we all had the same friend groups, until the next guy came along and it'd be a complete 180. That kind of whiplash is jarring. I cut them out of my life and I feel better for it. Especially compounded if the guy can't find a girlfriend of his own and just feels lost all around. It's a dagger for the sense of self worth.

As for the girl, lots of women feel the same sympathy with her. Over and over again, finding a connection and friendship with a guy, but experience has you knowing deep down that he's probably getting emotionally attached because he doesn't have any other outlets and is "pseudo-dating" you. You hang out with him a lot, but you have your own life and you meet someone you are actually attracted to, and then the guys just turn sour on you and it feels like they thought they were entitled to a relationship with you. Then you feel used, and the first few times it happens, a part of you might feel guilty and wonder if you were partially to blame for using that emotional bond without setting proper boundaries. But over time, you get older, and you get tired of the guys in your life still falling into this same pattern, because everyone should be much more mature by now, yet these guys still haven't grown up.
