my ex (dated for 5yrs) used to tell me I was the only person he could ever see himself marrying, shop for rings, look at houses to move into & started his business together so one day we'd run it
He would also lie to my face, text and date other girls behind my back, hookup with his ex 3 yrs in, like bikini pics on Insta, & lead me on for half a decade
and that's my why not <3 but!!!
despite all the heartbreak and trauma that man put me through, I never let it control my life
& bc of that mentality it brought me to the kind, loving & gentle man I'm with today <3
& that's my why <3
