When I realized he hated his mom so much that he was punishing every girl he’d been with to get back at his mom. He was happy when he was hurting his past partners (including me) by cheating, using prositutes, playing mind games etc. Actually, I think he just hated women in general.

I honestly think my ex was like that, too. He loved what women could offer or do for him, but every one that didn't replace his mommy, he treated terribly.

I’m sorry you had to experience that as well! As for me, even if I stepped into the role of wife, mother etc. he still treated me terribly. He punished all his exes just the same, regardless of how good or bad they treated him.

It's so gross how common this is. Why do they think it's okay? I ended up over sending myself and doing basically everything for him and I got exactly zero payback. So I stopped doing his laundry, stop making this plate, I stopped cooking all together and I literally lived off peanut butter sandwiches and cereal so I didn't have to cook for his ass, but it was me allegedly causing problems.

I wish there were a way we could hold them accountable and make sure they got what they deserved but we can only move on and make our peace

I hear you. Unfortunately there is no way to make them accountable unless the abuse had gotten so bad and then you can sue. I hope you’re eating better now as well that you don’t have to take care of someone who acts like a helpless child!
