OK, this is my second and final post of the day. I should’ve come here last year when it was al happening. I’m not so much looking for a solution, but could you guys fill me in on this?
Here goes: (Time Lapse to Oct. 2019)
I’m not a big fan of dating apps, but I decided to toy around on Match, just because I was bored and I haven’t really met anyone at Church. None of the “matches” clicked, but on 10/28- it all changed.
“Jacquie” and I hit it off immediately. A phenomenal conversation lead to another phenomenal month of texting (I’ve since learned it was too much).
We didn’t set a date right away because we live and work two hours apart. The other reason IS she was three months removed from a nasty (finalized) divorce from her husband of four years, (they were together for eight). Right when she was about to start a family, her husband (perhaps verbally abusive) kicked her and the dogs out of the house without explanation- on their anniversary nonetheless. I didn’t push hard because I knew she needed time to heal.
My family took vacation right before Thanksgiving last year, and she and I talked every night for hours and hours (big mistake, I know). One conversation was about her sleep paralysis, which lead to sharing the bed with others. From there, it was disclosed sex is an area I’m still holding out for marriage on. She just got kicked out of hers, so obviously there’s a difference in experience.
Upon coming back from vacation, she started to pull away more and more. Some days, she would act like my best friend. Other nights, she didn’t know me. My family also scolded me for pursuing a girl who hadn’t had time to heal.
Already-Long story short, her and I would talk on and off. I allowed her time and space to heal by not blowing up her phone. Right around Valentines Day, she suddenly ghosted me, right after sending a text that read “I hope your Monday is as sweet as you are”. At the end of the month, she makes Instagram posts with another guy on the ski slopes. Apparently, they were in high school together and then worked right across the street. They have since moved in together.
Right after that, Covid-19 hit the world, which resulted in a double whammy for me. Yes, I’ve had time to let a year pass- but am still deeply hurt. I wasn’t “girlfriend chasing,” I really liked her!
