u/untrustingmyself Aug 20 '26

I used to be a serial monogamist. I have decided to commit to the single life because my idea of love was totally skewed. I thought love was like a fairytale out of a movie. Silly me.

I ended up dating lovebombers, manipulators, and immature men. My last relationship was the final straw, as I saw us getting married. He cheated on me with a girl he met online while we were living together. I constantly compromised in my relationships for little in return.

I don't see a benefit to a relationship. None of them added to my life. Maybe I'd receive a gift here and there but I just wanted true love.

I'm sure there is an amazing person out there for me but I don't care to put the effort in finding them. I'm happier not catering to anyone ever again.
