How Important is it to Consider Someone’s Past When Choosing a Partner?
I met a girl that seemed to be on the right path after what she said was an “abusive marriage.”
Slowly her past started coming to the surface. Fine, I can deal with it. I could even deal with her lying about being married. I believed and loved her and the image she portrayed on social media and to the outside world.
I thought she was an abused girl trying to escape an abusive marriage. So I stuck by her and believed her words and ignored her actions.
After cheating on me multiple times, doing some of the most abusive shit possible, and fucking my best friend, I finally believed who she was.
Looking at her Instagram, Facebook, and other social media pages, she seems to have her shit together. But in her delusional mind, she believes she’s the victim of all her abuse. It’s so far from the truth.
The only issue is that she’s not honest, not authentic, and is nothing like who she portrays to the outside world.
She is still the same lying, cheating, manipulative asshole she showed me she was almost 5 years ago. It’s 5 years of my life I won’t get back but chalk it up as a “lesson.”
