I hope you will stay strong and leave this guy alone. When I was 17-21 I did the same on and off thing with a loser. The draw and attraction to him seemed impossible to overcome. I thought no one in this world would ever be like him. Yeah sure, he made me feel really bad, but at times he made me feel the best I ever felt. It was like manic depression, the highs were the highest things I could ever feel and the lows felt like the world crashing in on me. Here it is 5 years later and I am empowered by the feeling that I can give myself those highs and do without the lows. I do not need any man to give me those things. I chose to be with a man that will savor the highs with me and weather the lows by my side. Sweetheart, stop calling yourself a fool and stop saying it was all your fault. You are not a fool, you are getting over it and you are getting stronger. Do not put yourself down, bring yourself up, and you will see that you are overcoming him and learning about yourself. Once that is accomplished you will be happier and satisfied. Man or no man, YOU have the power to do it!
