I’ve known her since 6th grade, we dated when we were 15 for three years, it got messy after the breakup and she cut me out of her life completely for a year not wanting any part of me, year later we run into each other on Valentine’s Day it went well but got this weird intuition feeling of why she would want to come back? For which I started to distance myself avoiding her, texting every once in a while and then this past weekend around 8 pm she asks to hang for which I was contemplating because she doesn’t fully appreciate me (I wanted her to miss me) but stupid me went for it thinking she actually wanted to see me, immediately after hanging out found out her new friends are mad at her including her new FWB’s as it seems...making me realize she’s just using me as an emotional tampon for tonight which really killed me, I was just sitting there emotionless feeling crappy that’s all she thought of me as...lastnight she posted herself on a date with her new SO I guess and I finally had enough, I’ve never cut her out of my life before it’s always been her, but I’m done. We’re both 20
UPDATE: Thank you everyone for the support, just wanted to let everyone know, so far it’s going great really don’t know why I didn’t do this a while ago, trying to hit up the local coffee shops in the mornings to try and meet someone new!

At least you realized it. Forget about it and use the pain as a motivation to approach and getting better.

Glad to hear you're figuring things out. I was a lot like you, carrying emotional baggage from past relationships for far longer than I knew was normal. There was always that one girl I obsessed over, that one girl I held on a pedestal. Chin up bucko, it's your turn to be on your pedestal!

Can you answer me something? Why are 9 out of every 10 "MGTOW" guys all fat, stink and dress like shit?
mallardcove Endorsed Contributor 5y ago
MGTOW is for quitters who are too lazy and too unmotivated to succeed with women. Shit advice.
The guy is fucking 20 years old. A decade before he even comes close to his prime.

Looks like I’m lookin for a new path

I think there is a misconception about MGTOW. From what I’ve seen and understand about women, marriage seems to me to be a sunk cost fallacy. I enjoy women very much sexually, but the idea of being responsible for a woman long term does not appeal to me. This goes against societal expectations. So aren’t we in a sense MGTOW?
mallardcove Endorsed Contributor 5y ago
MGTOW is not the same as anti-marriage.
NofapFrance 5y ago
there is different levels to mgtow. If i'm not mistaken Level 2 is refusing LTRs, level 3 STRs (short term relationships. TRP can be considered a "balanced" version of mgtow in the sense, we aren't against short term relationships or spinning plates, nor for some for LTRs, we just advise to not get MARRIED.
LTR=/=Marriage
I'm in highschool and for now i'm going full blown mgtow (why? I don't like french girls. Seriously they are feminists power 666.) But that doesn't mean I would refuse a short term one. (I had numerous past year, so i'm not an Incel.) I have a kink over eastern europe girls. God's knows why.
mallardcove Endorsed Contributor 5y ago
The thing is pretty much everyone who claims to be MGTOW never got that far to begin with. They are all ugly, fat, out of shape incels who use MGTOW as a rejection buffer. They suck ass with women and never were successful, but use MGTOW as their reasoning as to why they don't succeed with women.
"Oh I could totally bed 10 HB10s a day, but I went MGTOW instead, you see"
smirk_addict 5y ago
I see what you are saying and that does seem to be the case more often than not. But some guys that profess to be MGTOW just don’t invest a lot of time in pursuing women, they focus on themselves and their success with women is because of that. I enjoy women for their beauty and femininity. Yes i love having sex with women. But besides that, there is nothing I find beneficial about spending time with someone that is less rational than me, hyper insecure, and lacking in self awareness. I’d rather be alone.
