Why do people insist that I have low self esteem and that something must be wrong with me? I admit I’ve made some mistakes, and that maybe I’m a little slutty. I’ve done things other girls wouldn’t do, and maybe that makes me stupid too. But I admit it, and I’m honest.

I broke up with my ex-bf even though I still love him because I finally figured out he wasn’t good for me and was using me after I stupidly agreed to a gangbang. I thought it would make him love me more, but he just got meaner. He says he cares but I couldn’t take it anymore and broke up with him even though it hurts and maybe that makes me a bad person too. I tried dating a lot of different guys after that, but I always seem to attract guys just like him, and it just made my slutty reputation worse. Add that I can’t have kids of my own and I know that no decent guy will ever want me. It’s not low self esteem, it’s just honesty. I’m the kind of girl guys will only ever see as someone to have fun with.

I know I’m broken and I’m trying to accept who and what I am and what my life has become. Why do people insist I have no self respect? What do they want, me to say cheer about my stupid mistakes? To be proud and smile that everyday someone calls me a whore, a slut or worthless?

It hurt when people called me those names back when I was in highschool and it wasn’t true. Somehow now that it is, it hurts more. I’m trying to be good, and I’m trying to embrace who I am, but people insisting I’m broken inside and hate myself just makes it even harder to like who I am. Why can’t people see that?

I posted this earlier in the wrong forum. I hope this is where it’s supposed to go.

So my fiancee dated a girl, Olivia, a long time ago (5 years ago), it didn’t end well – my fiance broke up with her because he just didn’t have the same feelings for her and they just werent connecting. His Mom (Lisa) really really really liked Olivia and she felt bad for the girl when they broke up because Olivia was heart broken and upset. Olivia now lives in New York and we are in Wisconsin.

I have been with my fiancee for a few years now. My future mother in law expects her son’s wives/girlfriends/fiancees to think she is just the most wonderful thing and to almost be afraid of her and bend at her every whim. I am not this kind of girl and I believe in standing up for myself and being reasonable. Thus has created a rift with the mother in law because she wants me to be afraid of her and kiss her feet. She has gone as far as asking me not to invite my fiancee’s step mother to the wedding, and she also requests that she have SPECIAL things at our wedding (things not even MY parents are getting), she also texts her son and says "Who is your favorite? Your fiancee or your mother?" she isn’t joking and does it with mean/bi*chy intentions.

Olivia has since been back in the picture, calling his mom, telling her how beautiful she is, talking to her often, she has started to talk to his brothers and his aunt/uncles again. She knows that my fiancee and I are together and are getting married. She tells my future MIL that she does it because she knows it pisses me off. Olivia and I have never met. My MIL thinks this is funny and eggs it on. In return she tells Olivia how much she misses her too and how she hopes she visits soon – and that she can see how much more beautiful she gets every day. This is getting ridiculous. Each time getting more and more inappropriate.

Yesterday, my fiancee’s grandfather was put in the hospital for treatment of his cancer. Olivia asked my future MIL to call her so she could talk to grandpa and grandma and tell him how much she loves them and that she misses them. Apparently she has also bought a plane ticket to come visit the family.

I think this is completely inappropriate. I think everything UP to this point has been inappropriate but my MIL thinks that I just feel "threatened" by Olivia … and that her and Olivia are just "friends"

I have let it slide to an extent, but I have had it.

How do I deal with my increasingly pushy future MIL and my fiancees even MORE inappropriate ex girlfriend? This is hurting our relationship – and hurting me.

My future MIL recently admitted "I dont know you that well" … my response was "maybe if you stopped talking to his EX you COULD get to know me" … she laughed it off … I wasn’t kidding.

Thanks – and HELP!
Thanks for everyone’s responses … I am committed to him and I love him more than the world … we are moving about 10 states away from his mother so I am hoping it helps. I just graduated from College, I graduated with Honors, I have done more for her son than she does or ever did.
He is afraid to hurt her feelings but I don’t think he understands that means hurting me.

We talk about it often – and he hates that his mom and I can’t get along – and I hate it to – I wish she would take the time to get to know me.

Back to the drawing board. But thank you thank you thank you for responding :)

We dated for three weeks and something, but we’d been best friends for a while. But the thing is, i’m the “school-clown” kind of girl, and he’s really shy.

I felt like we were back in elementary school, to be honest. but anyhow; we just had a lot of problems with the whole shyness thing. and i was about to go to sleep one night and i realized that i didn’t really want to be with him anymore… or so i thought? because the next day when i broke up with him i felt like crap. I couldn’t believe what i did. I spoke to him about a day after; apologizing to him.

But he said he didn’t want me back, and i just told him i could wait for him until he ever changed his mind. =| Last friday.. i guess he “moved on”, he’s dating his best friend.

She’s a grade lower than us, and they’d always be hanging out with her when we were dating.

What should i tell him? Should i keep waiting for him?

I know i made a wrong choice and I really want him back, ut i don’t want to keep living in the shadow of my mistake!

I’m sixteen and I’m confused out of my mind, like this is legitimately on the brink of crazy. It might actually pass that fine line but whatever. Okay, so I had this boyfriend for six months and things were sometimes amazing and sometimes not so much. I really did love him though, I’m absolutely sure of that because I still feel the same way about him and it’s been six months since we broke up. He was a very flirty guy, but I always knew he would never hurt a fly. He talked to a lot of girls but never crossed that line of it being too much, but none the less it still bothered me. I didn’t understand why I could be happy with just him and he needed all these girls to be happy. But I eventually realized that that was just the way he was and that I was doing the same thing but to me it seemed like he did it more and to him it seemed I did it more. Whatever, okay, so we were also very serious, like we hit all 4 bases lmao and we were both really happy, there was no pressure btw so it was amazingg :D . But I’m the kind of girl that needs new things to be going on in her life to feel content which is not always a good thing because sometimes it hides things that are true and genuine. So after about a 2 weeks of deciding I needed something new I broke up with him because I wanted to be single or so I thought. We promised each other that we would stay best friends but that didn’t work out because he still wanted to be with me, so we stopped talking for a couple of months. After a while I started to think back on how terrible the thing I did to him was and realized that I had to make things right. So one sunday I called him up and asked him if we could talk in person, he agreed and things went well, I talked to him about the reasons why I broke up with him and how he felt and how it sucked for the both of us. But how we both were over it (LIE, I thought I was, but trust me I’m NOT). Now I’m talking to him on a semi regular basis and every time I talk to him I just want more of him and every time we stop texting or leave each other I feel my heart get stabbed again. It really is killing me. There is no other girl in his life and sometimes he makes me think that he really is totally over me and other times I see it in his eyes that he’s not. I have no problem telling him that I still like him the only thing is I don’t want him to think that I’m some crazy person that breaks up with people and then wants them back. Another thing is, what if the same thing happens, what if we get back together and I go out on another one of my whims and decided that it’s time to break up again. I’m a firm believer that if things aren’t right, don’t stick around, but I don’t think I waited long enough last time to make sure they weren’t right. I don’t know if I just really miss him or because I love him or if I just miss having someone there. Like my brains on hyper-speed and I can’t think about anything else and haven’t been able to since we started talking again. I don’t know what to do. Please someone just give me some good advice.

me and this girl i met at college had a thing for two months. but then we started fighting so she said we wouldnt talk the rest of the semester. so, to get over her i had sex with another girl when i was really drunk one night. the following weekend she came to me and told me im the last thing she thinks about before she sleeps and that she really likes me. she also told me that she was coming down the week before to tell me she wanted to be with me but didnt bc she heard me in the room with the other girl, but after what i did she doesnt trust me. she spent that night with me but we didnt have sex and we never have bc she’s not that kind of girl in my eyes.

to make it up to her i sent her flowers for xmas. before this we were talking on the phone for 2-3 hrs each night before sleeping. but after i sent the flowers i didnt get a thank you or anything. i had to see what was up. two days ago i called her and asked her what the deal was. she said that she told we were just friends and i didnt have to do that for her and she feels nervous talking to me because if she does she feels like i get the wrong impression. then i told her how i thought before that she didnt want to be with me bc she didnt trust me and she agreed.

did she not say thank you because she feels that if she does it will go further and into a possible relationship but she’s afraid or did she lose feelings for me?

we both live in states 900 miles away so i cant see her in person. we are on break for college. I’ll see her next weekend though. She also told me that she was never expecting me to send flowers and she was shocked when she got them.

after not talking to her for two nights, i called her at 1am and she sent the call to voicemail after the second ring. she’s never done that before.

im 19 and she is 18. both freshman in college and we live in the same dorm, so i see her just about everyday.
Just to clarify. We both go to the same university however we are on Xmas break and I’ll see her next week when school starts again. For now, we are back home in states that are 900 miles away.
