Story 4: OP's comment about his mother putting her own need above others makes me think she was always neglectful/abusive towards him, and he is either in denial over it or has resigned himself to being her punching bag. Glad to see he finally put his foot down.
Story 3 - IF this is a real story, are you kidding? Your GF is not over her old BF in any way. And you need help not thinking you deserve better. You have accepted its ok to be a doormat, a simp. Yes you wasted all your time with this girl. You accepted all the comments she made about her old BF, you accepted being the B choice. Of course she was not upset when you broke up with her. You never mattered to her.
If I was op I would tell Susan if she can’t be there for me at my worst then you can’t be with me at my best and feel lucky that he doesn’t have nothing to hold him back story1
@amandadoubleu9748 Lol, there were stories similar before the sub said theirs. So would you say they stole it? No, because women do similar crappie things.
