You're falling for him. It's the first date and he tells you "you're the only one I've ever felt this way about." You've only been talking for a few weeks but it definitely feels longer. When he fills your head with sweet words, you believe every single one of them. He soon says I love you, but you're not sure you love him back at this point.

Everything is new and uncertain.

He knows you're unsure about the relationship and does everything he can to make you believe he cares.

You're in love. You want to spend every second together. He's the only one who matters. He has managed to become your boyfriend and best friend. He has you convinced he's the only one you need. He talks about a future far away, talks about the future months turns into talk about the future years.

You don't like this, it feels like this future is too distant and uncertain to talk about now.

You're fighting. He hasn't been making time for you. He talks to 10 other girls but they're all just old "friends." You believe him. You let yourself believe every lie he tells you.

When he cancels your date for some unknown reason you justify it to yourself. You justify all of his unacceptable actions to yourself, your friends, and your family. When someone tells you your relationship is unhealthy you defend it, but deep down you know it is.

You've been cheated on. This will break you.

This will have you questioning everything you did throughout the whole relationship.

You'll regret opening up to him. You'll regret trusting him.

You'll regret thinking this won't happen to you when you knew all along this was the type of person he was.

You're healing. You see that none of what he did was because of you. You begin to love yourself and all of your friends again. You find yourself becoming happier. You find yourself free and open to new healthy relationships.

This relationship will break you but it was needed.

You learned so much and for that you are grateful.
