Hi again. Thank you both for your uplifting, inspiring, REAL, and beautiful posts. I couldn't agree more with both of you.
As I sit here and cry, feel the pain, the fear, the anxiety, the anguish, the not understanding why or what even happened, trying to make sense of it all, I came across a very old post by a member here, but I don't want to share her name. She'd read with many readers for a couple of years about an ex she was with for 12 entire years. Yes, Sincerity was one of them. Her story didn't end well as she had found out that he had actually gotten married after she'd been told for so long that there'd be reconciliation, even by Sincerity.
That said, it makes me question my readings with Sincerity even though most of everything she's said so far has come to pass outside of the him coming back to reconcile and him not really moving out but rather staying and dealing with the situation. As I write this, half of his belongings are still in this apartment and the other half are at his other place.
Last time I spoke with him was last Sunday night and I was having very very strong feelings that he was only around and coming back here out of guilt, not because he wanted to be here. I could see he was stricken with anxiety big time the past three weeks or so and so I'd ask him if he had anxiety when he was NOT here and he said no. That told me a lot. He also would text me and say "I love you. I hope you know that", but none of his behaviors ever match. How do you say you love someone yet rarely ever want to be around? Disappear for days at a time each month? Rarely ever pay attention to them? Show pretty much NO interest at all in them? He's been saying for the last two months or so that he'll always love me no matter what. That is basically saying his goodbyes without actually saying it. That is someone trying to soften the blow and evade any kind of guilt they may have leaving. Just a month ago he was saying he didn't want to lose me, yet, he'd continue to disappear for days despite me begging him to stop for the last two years he's been doing it. First cause of drugs, and for the past year, who knows why but clearly you don't want to be around me and that is not a man that is in love. So back to Sunday night, because I could feel that he really didn't want to be here and was just forcing himself to be (I'm very very empathic), I told him he did not have to be here but that I needed him to continue to pay half of the bills in this apartment for a few months until I found a more affordable place or found a higher paying job. I JUST signed this lease in October and prior to that I had an opportunity to downgrade and I asked him over and over again if he wanted to separate. He just couldn't make up his mind for some reason and then said he wouldn't leave me hanging financially like that and would still pay bills even if he wasn't here. That was also telling. I should have downgraded right then but I didn't realize he really wanted to leave but just didn't have enough balls to say what it is. I thought he wanted to stay and not leave me. Yes, I'm indeed a fool. So after I tell him Sunday night that I need him to help with bills but that he isn't forced to stay here in the meantime, he says "So, you want me to leave but still pay the bills". I'm like no dude, that isn't what I said. I need to hear my words exactly as they're coming out of my mouth. I told him he did not HAVE to be here out of guilt and he said he didn't feel guilty staying here, which meant to me he felt guilty leaving here. So I was like you don't have to feel guilty leaving here either. You're not obligated to me anymore. Next thing I know, he seemed to cop an attitude with me, he gets up and goes to bed. Monday morning he leaves super early and I haven't seen or heard from him since despite him telling me he'd still always be there for me no matter what, yet, he hasn't been there for me for years. It's a twilight zone.
Anyway, I wanted to share something this previous member had said that really punched me in the gut and opened my eyes tonight which made me cry my eyes out. She said, and I quote, "People - think of every person in your life that is in a long term successful relationship. Besides normal disagreements and maybe a break up that lasts a few days, you'll notice that their man doesn't disappear. They don't stop calling or wanting to be around their POI. To argue otherwise is just keeping yourself in a safe bubble, which will also keep you from moving on, letting go and living your life. A MAN IN LOVE DOES NOT DISAPPEAR! It's a painful, brutal truth. Feel the pain - save your money - and move on knowing he lost the best thing he'll ever know."
THAT HIT ME SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HARD because it's so true. Human nature is what it is. Male or female. When we're interested and invested and really do love someone, we have no desire to disappear. Some personalities do require time alone to think about things, but they don't disappear for weeks and months and it doesn't happen multiple times over and over again. When words don't match actions, it's only manipulation. I remember I had one reader back in like July or something point blank tell me I was a placeholder. I now believe that reader because I sure did get treated like one.
I also saw a reel posing the question on how to know when it's time to let go. The answer: When they don't show any interest in you. Next question was: What if they SAY they love you and they SAY they're interested, but they don't show it? Answer: Those words mean nothing and it's just manipulation. Last question was: What if they start DOING at the end of the relationship and their words finally match their actions? Answer: If they only DO when it's nearly over, it's not love because the doing will end again shortly after the comfort zone sets in and it's just manipulation again. Your mantra should be "I don't want to be with someone that doesn't want to be with me."
THAT ALSO HIT ME SO FKN HARD. It's taken tons of heartache and different relationships for me to finally realize these things. I always stay in them for much longer than I should, wasting years of my life on people that did not ever love me. I've done it time and time again. I never leave at the first sign of these things happening. I always believe it's a phase and things will turn around but they never do. They just continue to decline.
For me, I get readings to ease the blow. For me, letting go is a process because I know myself and once I let go, there's no going back. Not ever. I always have a fear of what if they change and I already let go? Did I miss out on something? The answer is: Probably not. It's highly probable said person hasn't changed a damn thing but just couldn't find anyone else to match the loving, selfless qualities we have and they miss it. For me, all I really need is the truth from these dudes. I'd rather the dude have enough nuts to just say "Hey, I don't have those kind of feelings for you anymore and here's why or maybe there's no reason and they just faded over time. Thank you for everything you did for me and for loving me. I'm sorry I've caused you pain." I would be hurt, but the healing process would be much much faster. Instead of being used for the just in case which hurts even worse. That leaves a person feeling like they aren't enough and you don't know why you weren't enough. That's the hardest part to get through.
I actually feel very strongly that he already has someone else and I don't care what the psychics say because they all seem to suck at picking up third parties. Although I haven't asked. I don't want to ask because whether he does or doesn't, he's treated me terribly for no reason and that's what matters.
The only reading that I'm going to continue to hold on to is the one I had with Kisha in February 2023 where she saw the end of a toxic relationship and then some rando that she couldn't see wanting to marry me. She saw a move with it, saw it would be comfortable, stable, and I'd be happy. Although, she said the same shit about this guy I'm with now, that it wouldn't be one-sided, that it'd be reciprocal, he'd help me heal, not disturb my peace, blah blah and it was only like that for like two months out of all these years. However, if I'm married to a person, obviously they are going to be reciprocating and treating me properly so I feel comfort in knowing that someday, before I leave this earth, someone will actually love me properly.
I WILL get another reading with Sincerity but this time, it will not be about him. It will be a general love reading asking who she sees coming into my life and if she sees me married, if so, what does said person look like, where/how do we meet, etc. I will never get another reading about this guy personally again. And then I'm going to hold on to THAT for hope so that I don't go into the worst depression.
Thank you all so much for listening to me. I cannot express how comforting it is. I have zero friends because I'm agoraphobic (means I have panic attacks so bad that I can't leave my home). So thank you all for being friends at a distance. I wish nothing but love and happiness for each of you.
