Getting cheated on wasn’t something I ever thought I was going to encounter. But who really thinks that the love of their life would hurt them? My partner suggested couples therapy, so we went. The whole relationship amounted to a year and a half.

I was hopeful and really wanted us to work. But time and time again I was shown that his emotional maturity and empathy levels were no where near what I needed. I’m glad I’m not in the relationship with him anymore. Though I do think about him every day since the break up is still fresh, I felt as though I had to ask him to do the bare minimum. Telling him how to love me and asking for apologies because he would never know when/how he had hurt me. He’s a good person, but not a good lover.

I enjoyed this article. It reassures me to know that it was never really my fault.
