My first serious relationship lasted 1 1/2 years, until I was cheated on. He then helped to bully me with his friends to the point where I was admitted to hospital for attempting to take my own life.
My second relationship occurred shortly after and lasted a year. Half way through he decided he wanted a break and wanted to become 'secret FWB'. After a few months of this, he decided to get back together until he left me for someone else 3 months later.
My third relationship was 5 months after the second. It lasted 2 years. He seemed funny, nice, kind, smart and could hold a decent, intelligent conversation. However, he started getting into drugs and became increasingly violent. Drugs are usually a deal breaker for me. He then cheated on me. The relationship dragged on for a few months after, but I couldn't put up with it and ended it.
I don't know where I'm going wrong. All guys seem great to start with, and then it rapidly goes downhill. Are my standards too high? Am I just overreacting and giving up too soon? Is there something I'm doing wrong?
Personally I feel like all the guys I've been out with have ended up terrible, but am I just overreacting? Should I have not given up?
I just hate investing my time and effort into someone, and falling for them- just to be hurt over and over again. I don't like one night stands, and I don't like short term relationships. I prefer getting to know someone and then trying to make it last, but am I making the wrong decision here, does that not work nowadays?
